7 Minutes in Heaven (Atavan Halen)

ok. so im like the biggest F.O.B fan. i have talked to pete, met patrick and andy and been to see them a number of times. this song (one of the top 3 on the album) is all about Pete's battle with depression and pressure after the success of "Take This to your Grave". "Im not going home alone, cause i dont do too well on my own"--he is not going to quit and overdose "i keep telling myself, im not the desperate type..but you got me looking in thru blinds"--he keeps thinking he doesnt need the pills but he cant see any other way out. trust me, pete is a deep guy who definitly doesnt leave the true meaning of anything he writes on the surface. hope u can enjoy the song for what its worth now!

ps- Brendan from "Panic! at the Disco" sings the second part of "i keep telling myself, i keep telling myself..." in the song. if u listen, u can totally tell its not patrick.

xo, L

below, someone said about ''atavan halen'' being the medicine pete almost overdosed on/got addicted to.

i think the whole song focuses on this -

''i keep telling myself, i'm not the desperate type'' (trying to convince himself he doesn't need it)

''i'm not going home alone, 'cause i don't do too well on my own'' (either - he doesn't want to face his addiction on his own .. or - he turns to his addiction so he won't be alone)

''i just need a stronger dose'' (giving in to his addiction)

''trying to forget everything that isn't you'' (he knows it's bad but he just can't forget it .. kind of like being in love or something)

anyway, just some ideas probably a load of crap haha

The song is about drugs people. If any of you were true fallout boy fans you would know that pete had a drug overdose and right afterwards he wrote this song to express himself, so all your theories about relationships and girls and stuff arent wrong, but in light of what pete himself said the song seems to talk about his overdose.

just got the new cd...kicks some major tail

i love this song....!!!!

seriously, Fall Out Boy is one the best bands ever and I'm really pick about music. nobody should take AEnema seriously if they don't want to. use this site constructively not to diss other people. personally I think AEnema is homophobic and scared of reality, but that is just my opinion. oh and did you ever think that maybe "No one wants to hear the rest of you and your shitty comments. No one cares if you like this song," and if "people who like Fall Out Boy songs are obviously douchebags." then what the hell are you doing on a comment page for Fall Out Boy?

alrite....so...there are some people in here with some MAJOR issues {YourBiggestFanx and fanciesthats constantly ripping into eachother} and I am fucking tired of it! could u drop it and maybe, just MAYBE tell everyone what u think the MEANING of the song is since actually that is what the whole point of the site and that is why people come to this page...NOw....

does n e body know where "dadada dadada dadadada dadad doodoodoo doodoodoo dadada dadada dadadada dadad doodoodoo doodoodoo" comes form?

haha i LOVE that part

Actually the song was entitled 7 minutes in heaven (Atavan Halen), because the bassist/song writer Pete Wentz overdosed on his depression medication(Atavan) And was dead for 7 minutes before the recessitated him.

well i like it
