I don't remember if it was here, but I've read that another song from this same album (The Press War) was about a childhood friend of his being raped while drunk at a party, and nothing happening to the guy who did it after a trial went on. The song supposedly talks about the singer returning to his hometown to take matters into his own hands. Since I've read that, I can't help but think that this song is about the same event, but on the eyes of the rapist. There are a lot of lines that can be interpreted as forceful sexual advances. "I've never seen such a battle to open one door", "As we're playing out the last notes To your culling song", "These boundaries called waistlines Are bound to be broken sometime", etc. Not to mention the song is quite heavy. |

| @[Jubispo:18609] oh, and "I'm still waking every morning but it's not with you" could also be a reference to how the drugs make the person seem like someone else, like they're not there, specially among pill abusers. | |

This song seems to be a lot about a struggling relationship between two people while one of them is fighting an addiction. You can find a lot of drug references, even if unintentional: starting by giving a background of the other person's life (your little brother never tells you but he loves you so, and your mother only smiled on her TV show) maybe to give a reference as to why the person has resorted to drugs. Then stating the obvious : you're only happy when your sorry head is filled with dope. Then it gives a hint to the "club 27" or the famous fact that many drug addict famous personalities die at 27 years old ("I hope you make it to the day you're 28 years old" meaning she hopes the person passes the mark). Then begins the less obvious references: "you're dripping like a saturated sunrise" this could be interpreted as a trip, specifically acid for the saturated sunrise part, but maybe debatable.. I'm guessing when she says she's tearing through the pages and the ink, that she knows him/her deep down, on his/her darkest moments. Then on to the chorus are the more obvious references, talking about pills, smoke, and being blue and having grey dreams. Depression is a big factor amongst drug users as their serotonin receptors become messed up. It's usually a tipping point or the hardest to fight after the physical addiction has settled during withdrawals. Then what I get from the lillac sky part is that the person was was very passionate in the beginning because she was different from them. But as she became "contaminated" by the same mellow state within the drug abuse world, the other person lost interest. Drug users tend to seek very high states of mind to compare to the high the drugs give, otherwise they become "bored" and depression kicks in again. |

| Panic! at the Disco – The Ballad of Mona Lisa Lyrics | 13 years ago |

When the chorus comes, it just sounds like he's talking about, well, mona lisa herself. Or comparing a very mysterious girl to monalisa. "You're guaranteed to run this town" - one of the things that brings people to Paris is her portrait "I'd pay to see you frown" - she is famous for her facial expression, a mix of frown and smile...and you do have to pay to see it "He senses something, call it desperation Another dollar, another day And if she had the proper words to say, She would tell him But she'd have nothing left to sell him" he keeps going back to try to understand her facial expression, but can't, and If she were to tell him he'd have no more admiration for that mysteriousness... that's how I first understood this song, but the ideas of a couple fighting or a prostitute are pretty interesting as well. |

| You, Me, and Everyone We Know – Carolina Heat Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I feel like more than just not thinking she's attractive anymore, he started to see her defects. Sounds like the girl was also FROM one of the Carolinas. When he says: They say the Carolina heat Isn't something that keeping a cool head can beat It sounds like he's talking about how the people from Carolina (just the girl of course) are not easy to deal with. But I guess you just are better than the rest Could be sarcasm, because he knows she thinks she's better than anyone else... |
