Panic! at the Disco – LA Devotee Lyrics 7 years ago
I would also like to add that Ryan Ross seems to be "in love" with LA, seeing how often he wears his "I ❤ LA" shirt.

Panic! at the Disco – LA Devotee Lyrics 7 years ago
I am not very good at song interpretations but I'll do what I can.

"You got two black eyes from loving too hard"
Ryan Ross wore "black eye" makeup on both his eyes the day after Brendon Urie got a black eye after a bottling incident.

"Wouldn't change ya, oh, wouldn't ever try to make you leave, no"
I think this is Brendon saying he wouldn't try to make Ryan Ross and Jon Walker leave the band

"And the Midwest wind with Pisces rising"
I think this is about Sarah Urie (Brendon's wife,) who is from the Midwest, and is a Pisces

I think the chorus is just about Los Angeles itself, which I think is a metaphor* for something else.

"And a downtown storm with Aries rising"
This likely is referring to Brendon. Possibly him starting an argument, maybe the Midwest wind caused the downtown storm?

I think the "LA Devotee" could be a person, possibly a younger Brendon Urie, who doesn't have their priorities straight, they are devoted to something that doesn't actually really matter.

*I think that in this song Los Angeles is a metaphor for something unimportant that has been prioritized, causing problems with the things that are actually important.
