| LOL. Well, didn't he sing her song one time? He did say in an interview that she was hot back then. | |

At first I couldn't take this song seriously because it's about Brendon's girlfriend (I have nothing against her, it just felt off to have a love song sung by Brendon for some reason). But now I'm in love with it. I like it when he sings words like "Doll" "Honey" and "Babe". Haha. But this would be really awkward if they broke up (hopefully they don't.) I think that's why I couldn't take this seriously at first. Panic! just doesn't look like the type to put a love song on an album. Anyway, beautiful song but pretty straightforward. I like the intro. It feels vaudevillean and baroque. |

I kind of made my own interpretation to it. Which is off, but I'll share it anyway. Vices and Virtues. For me, the song relates to pride. Examples of lines: "Hey, stranger, I want you to catch me like a cold." "I led the revolution in my bedroom/ And I set all the zippers free" "Oh, kiss me" And of course: "'Cause they know, I know/ That they don't look like me Oh they know, I know/ That they don't sound like me" It's like he's screaming "Hey! I'm amazing, I'm badass, and I am worth everything you've got! Give me envy, give me malice, give me YOUR ATTENTION." (Sorry, I just HAD TO. ^^) However, despite his pride, there is still this one person that he sees besides himself (besides God). "Are you worth your weight in gold?/'Cause you're behind my eyelids when I'm all alone." and "You and God both got the guns/ When you shoot I think I'd duck." (it kind of means like, besides himself, the only other beings he'd follow or waste his time with is that one person and God). Again, holding the attention, he 'confesses' the rumor of him and his friend. "But he didn't come and speak to me." I suppose that means that everyone is giving him the attention for that rumor except for that friend of his (Ryan?). "Oh put my heart at ease." Since his friend isn't giving him the attention, he's bothered by it. Especially since he's part of the rumor too. "And I believe that half the time /I am a wolf among the sheep/ Gnawing at the wool over my eyes." He thinks he's badass, but he'll pose danger to his crowd/scene/sheep/whatever. See my comment above. "We are a hurricane/ Drop our anchors in a storm." He's famous, and by dropping anchors, he's putting his mark in history. He's wild and he goes against the flow. |

You know, this sounds like a song Hey Monday would make. That's not necessarily a bad thing. Just thought that the chorus would be something I'd love Hey Monday to make a cover of. Love the song though. It makes the band's split really heartbreaking. |

This is definitely about Ryan. I can't even tell how I came to that conclusion, but the first time I heard this I had this big gut feeling inside me that Hurricane is a personal song and that it's written about Ryan. Now that I think about it, this song was played in The Overture when Brendon was trying to save the chained girl. And people speculate that the girl represents Ryan, myself concluded. I don't know how I came to that conclusion, but I just KNOW it's Ryan. "'Cause you're behind my eyelids when I'm all alone" I thought that was a creative line. ^^ "Oh I confess, I confess to the rumor of us." Haha, Rydon fans will seriously react to this line. "And I believe that half the time I am a wolf among the sheep, gnawing at the wool over my eyes." This line got me thinking. 'Cause I think the wool over his eyes implies that he is fooling himself that he belongs here, like he is one of the sheep but he's actually a wolf that will bring destruction to them all. And he doesn't realize that he's slowly "gnawing at the wool over his eyes." |

Sorry for the double post, but I'd also just like to say that there's a "behind-the-scenes" video for the music vid, where Panic! and the girl playing Mary (the girl who killed Brendon) talks about the meaning of the music vid. But that's just the video though, and I still think that the personal meaning for Brendon is more interesting, because I haven't cracked that one yet. Also, lots of grammatical mistakes from my previous post. Sorry for that. |

I get the prostitute interpretation thing, I think it really work out that way. But after reading the interview, I think there's a more personal meaning for Brendon about it, but he covers it up with the tale of the prostitute. Since everyone has got the prostitute thing down, I'll try interpreting it from the way Brendon talks about his struggling. Here's my take about it: The "he" and "she" are the dualities of his personality, the one Brendon mentioned in the interview. So, he's saying there's only one person, and that's him. "She" is the one that "fucks everything up and destroys everything" while "he" refers to the "other side that tries to pick up the slack." When I talk about "he" and "she" in quotation marks, I'll be referring to the dualities of his personalities. So now let's take a look at the lyrics: [She paints her fingers with a close precision] Here he talks about how "she" messes up his life playfully. When girls paint their fingers, it's usually because they want to to make themselves look pretty and to flirt and stuff, and also to cover up the ugly parts of theirs (I don't think it just means painting one's fingers; it's probably a metaphor for something else). [with a close precision] may refer to how girls are meticulous about painting their nails, which could mean that he/Brendon is trying to cover up his lack of self-confidence or his ugly sides (not that I think he has any ugly sides, but that's just my fangirlism acting up). [He starts to notice empty bottles of gin And takes a moment to assess the sin She's paid for] Brendon starts noticing how "she" is messing up his life. He notices how fucked up it is through "his" eyes, the eyes of this side of his personality that wants to fix things. "He" assesses the situation that "she" has made. [A lonely speaker in a conversation] Well, there's only one person here, and that's Brendon. The conversation takes place between the dualities of his personality. Probably, he's arguing with himself about how he should go about his life. [Her words are swimming through his ears again] "She" is trying to justify to "him" about her actions. Like, Brendon is trying to justify to himself why his sins aren't really sins. Or even if he wasn't justifying himself, he is probably becoming guilty of his conscience. [There's nothing wrong with just a taste of what you've paid for] There's nothing wrong with a taste of what you have done. Probably what "she" is trying to justify. [Say what you mean Tell me I'm right And let the sun rain down on me Give me a sign I want to believe] I haven't quite cracked this one yet, as it doesn't seem to fit as well with my theory. Actually, it still doesn't fit with the prostitution theory. At least, not as well as the other lines. It could be that Brendon can't understand himself, so he's asking someone to "tell him he's right"; to justify his actions. [Woah, Mona Lisa, You're guaranteed to run this town] If left unchecked, "she" might run his life. "She" is Mona Lisa. [Woah, Mona Lisa, I'd pay to see you frown] Alludes to the prostitution thing. Brendon is disguising his feelings through the story, remember? Not all of the lines have to refer to his personal feelings. The line gives more background o the prostitution story. [He senses something, call it desperation] Desperate to fix what "she" fucked up. [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] Again, alluding to the prostitution story. [Mona Lisa, wear me out Pleased to please ya Mona Lisa, wear me out] The side that messes things up is wearing Brendon out because, well, everything is messed up. Yet he is pleased to please "her" because, well, who doesn't like messing thins up once in a while? It's like when you do drugs or have an addiction or whatever. It messes you up, but you still do it because it gets you high. That's just my interpretation, and I'm open to all your opinions because even I don't fully believe my interpretation yet. I agree with the prostitution thing though. I didn't bother explaining it because everyone else is explaining it, and I was more interested with how Brendon said this was related to his inner struggles. All in all, it's a wonderful kick-off for the new album. Hope Ryan and Jon are back though. :/ |

Well, I think that Pretty.Odd. was an amazing album, considering that I'm more of a rocker with all the loud music and insane drums and all (kinda like the sound of AFYCSO). I agree, Pretty.Odd. may not be everyone's cup of tea, but you can't deny that it takes a lot of talent of thought to come up with this album. They may, at first, seam like a hard-try copy of The Beatles, but Panic still added their own style to it too. Both albums can make me high. AFYCSO makes me want to go crazy and just rock out, but Pretty.Odd. is so sweet and heartwarming that it makes me feel calm and out of this world, like everything would be alright and I can go dance around in my own little garden. Of this song, I don't think there's a deeper meaning than what it is at face-value, though there may be some sarcastic undertones, considering that a lot of Ryan's songs are sarcastic. They're saying that they're still the same band, not the same sound. But they're still Panic, and they still love their fans and their songs, and I think it's sweet they actually took the time to make an introductory song for us fans, even if it was short. Sarcastic or not, I think they adore us fans just as we adore them. |

Well, this is my opinion, but I think this has something to do with Ryan (and pretty much the whole band) being somewhat 'deep'. Since Ryan is the songwriter, I'd be referring to him, though I'm pretty sure the whole band can relate to it anyway. It's like, when you're a writer or someone who can really think deeply (P!ATD can is a petty deep band, and Ryan is a pretty deep lyricist), not everyone will GET you. They will appreciate you, have fun with you, whatever, but thy won't GET you right away. Ever had your moments with P!ATD where it took you a dozen repeats to get a GIST of their lyrics? Anyway, I agree about the girl who had the whole world, but she's either not satisfied with it or she couldn't see that she was very blessed with the 'world' until she could get the guy she wants. I also don't think she's spoiled; just a bit naive. The song is written in one perspective (the guy's), and I think when Ryan starts singing we get a deeper look into the boy's mind; like the whole meaning is amplified in Ryan's part. I think the boy tried to like the girl once, and maybe he did, but he realized that the girl isn't all she is. I think the boy "doesn't love her/ he's just passing the time" because he likes her, but he didn't love her. But MORE IMPORTANTLY, I think he was frustrated that the girl will never understand him because he was either too weird or too deep, and she thinks that by loving him the way she knew how ("but that girl had so much love/ she wanna kiss you all the time") would make up for it. But it wouldn't, because the boy will never find what he's looking for in her ("when i look in her eyes, well I just see the sky"). I think that line could also be alluded to people who think differently and are very deep, but the person who loves them is shallow and can never understand the way these people think. And it frustrates them because when they look for something more in the person, they "just see the sky." The girl could love the boy (love, not like) if "he knew how to lie" but he can't lie about how he thinks and who he is. "But who could love me/ I am out of my mind" makes sense because since not a lot of people will understand the boy's heart and mind, it'd be hard for him to find someone who would really love him, and not just like him. "Throwing a line out to sea/ to see if I can catch a dream" is like the boy is looking for that one person who will appreciate and understand him for who he is, and maybe he was looking for that in the girl, but he never found it because the girl never had it. And because he can't find it in the girl, he can't bring himself to love her, but he still likes her as a person ("I don't love you/ I'm just passing the time"). That line could also mean that because the girl likes him, he'll just got with the flow and pass time, but he knows he will never bring himself to love her truly. I guess this is a more personal opinion because I can relate to the song in this way, because I am a pretty deep thinker and I sometimes find it sad that people can be so shallow that they can't understand the way I think. That's just me though. The song is pretty sad itself; the story of a girl and a guy who each had so much love, but none of them can give it to each other. It's like the wrong love at the right time. It seems like a good, romantic idea, but it just wasn't working. The girl is naive, the guy is too different. And they both have different perspectives on love. Sorry for the long rant. The song is pretty personal. :) |
