G.I.N.A.S.F.S. Lyrics

I've loved everything about you that hurts, so
Let me see your moves,
Let me see your moves
Lips pressed this close to mine,
True Blue

But the prince of any failing empire knows that
Everybody wants, everybody wants
To drive on through the night
If it's a drive back home

Things aren't the same anymore
Some nights, they get so bad
You almost pick up the phone

Trade baby blues for wide eyed browns
I sleep with your old shirts
And walk through this house in your shoes,
You know it's strange
It's a strange way of saying,
I'm supposed to love you
I'm supposed to love you

I've already given up on myself twice
Third time is the charm, third time is the charm
Threw caution to the wind
But I've got a lousy arm

And I've traced your shadows on the wall
Now I kiss them whenever I'm down
Whenever I'm down
Figured on not figuring myself out

Things aren't the same anymore
Some nights, they get so bad
I almost pick up the phone

Trade baby blues for wide eyed browns
I sleep with your old shirts
And walk through this house in your shoes,
You know it's strange
It's a strange way of saying
That I know I'm supposed to love you
I'm supposed to love you

Born under a bad sign, but you saved my life
That night on the roof of your hotel
"Cross my heart and hope to die
Splintered from the headboard in my eye"
Photo-proofed kisses I remembered so well

Trade baby blues for wide eyed browns
I sleep with your old shirts
And walk through this house in your shoes,
You know it's strange
It's a strange way of saying
That I know I'm supposed to love you
I'm supposed to love you

Song Meaning
Cover art for G.I.N.A.S.F.S. lyrics by Fall Out Boy

This song is from the perspective of a gay guy who broke up with his boyfriend. It's not that hard to understand fall out boy lyrics, it's just easy to get caught up in finding secret meanings (which, don't get me wrong, there always are). But I do think it's biased to always assume a song is about a heterosexual breakup. "Trade baby blues for wide-eyed browns": the old partner had blue eyes, the new one has brown. "I sleep in your old shirts" (literally) "and walk through this house in your shoes": he tries to look at the old relationship as his old partner saw it. "It's a strange way of saying that I know I'm supposed to love you": he knows he's in love with his old partner because they're so great together, but they have so damn many problems they decided to call it quits. I think John Mayer's "Comfortable" parallels with this song.

i love the theory that this is a song about the contrast between pete's relations between patrick and between mikey way. "true blue" was pete's nickname for patrick on his livejournal while mikey was describes as having "the brownest eyes [pete's] ever seen." pete wentz's lyricism is just constantly heart wrenching. in this song, he captures that tight, cold feeling you get in your lungs when you think about love. if the livejournals are to be trusted, patrick was just a friend who wasn't supposed to be anything more while mikey was a one-sided soulmate situation. i adore this song and pete's way with words. all of you should look into the summer of like situation and then revisit all of infinity on high, fourth of july, and twin skeletons.

My Interpretation

G.I.N.A.S.F.S :-

Gay Is Not A Synonym For Shitty!

Cover art for G.I.N.A.S.F.S. lyrics by Fall Out Boy

is it really gay is not a synonym for shitty?

No, it's really "Gay Is Not A Substitute For Shit"

Cover art for G.I.N.A.S.F.S. lyrics by Fall Out Boy

No it's definitely 'Gay Is Not A Synonym For Shitty'. Makes sense really.

"Oh, that's gay" doesn't mean "That's homosexual" nowadays does it?

I also believe this song was once called True Blue, although I can't prove it :)

this song could possibly be one of the best fob songs ever... extremely well written
