W.A.M.S.

When All Missiles Shoot

It's a line from an old movie. Just like "Of All the Gin Joints in the World" is a line from Casablanca.

in pete's blog on blogspot, it definitely reads freckle, freckle, which is actually what it sounds like. i'm not quite sure how you're getting "oh fuck" or "reflect." while it might not make sense, that doesn't really matter as this is fall out boy a la pete wentz, who never makes sense. ever.

I think I'm wrong in my interpretation but it just reminds me of falling for someone when your not usually into something so serious.

"I'm a young one stuck in the thoughts of an old ones head" All of a sudden has gotten so serious and boring and cant enjoy himself while his friends are out partying etc because he cant forget about this person. "when all the other ones were just stirring awake I'm trying to trick myself to fall asleep again" He cant get this person out of his mind and just wishes he could sleep and forget about them maybe.

And the chorus, "You put my head in such a flurry, what makes you so special?" As if this persons doing his head in and he cant understand why this person is so different to everyone else to make him feel this way.

"You don't take me places We won't sleep for days... We waste it all in the back of a long dark car ...I want to get stuck In your memories. " He's so wrapped up in this person that it doesnt matter what theyre doing together, even if its just a lot of sex.

I'm pretty certain that last section of the song, the "we won't sleep for days" bit, is intended as a lullaby for Bronx, so that kinda rules out any of the medication theories and stuff.

I think it basically means something like Pete apologising for not being around as much as he'd like to be, "doesn't sleep or stay", and how when they are together, they spend most of their time on the road, "we waste it all in the back of a long dark car", but hoping that Bronx will remember him, "I want to get stuck in your memories".

I dunno. Just my two cents.

So my girlfriend explained this to me cuz shes fobsessed It is freckle freckle btw Since Pete Wentz writes all the lyrics he's describing a girl that he still he loves who's face is apparently covered in freckles and since he was in a relationship at the time with another girl when this song was writen he is wondering why this freckled girl still means so much to him "What makes you so special?" Truth Its gotta be online somewhere

Ok, personally, I think it's about sexual frustration and also how he thinks he may love someone. It sort of reminds me of teenagers and how love comes second and sex comes first. But with this girl, love comes first, but he still wants to do her. And personally, I think it's "oh fuck, oh fuck" because it sort of fits better with what I take it to mean. But with a Fall Out Boy song, there are so (freaking) many interrpratations. I bet Pete even interperates it different than us.

W.A.M.S-We. Are. Merely. Sexual.

PS. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that whole paragraph contradicts everything I said and meant.

after the third time listening to this song it became quite obvious what its about,

im a young one stuck in the thoughts of an old ones head

• pete is the oldest in the band but he still feels as young as the others

while the others where just stirring awake i'm trying to trick myself to fall asleep again

• pete has a sleep disorder where he can sleep for a few hours but if he wakes up it is hard to sleep again.

Mama If we don't take the medication We won't sleep for days We won't sleep for days Mama If we pray to the lord Does he sing on a stage? Does he sing on a stage? We waste it all In the back of a long dark car And I'm a sunshine machine I want to get stuck I want to get stuck And be glowing in your memory

i think that this is referring to the time pete tried to commit suicide. he is saying if i dont overdose i will never get to sleep (death)

they are saying that they just waste the money on a fancy car and other stuff they dont really need and pete is saying that if he killed himself he would be stuck in his friends and family's memories forever

i love this shit omfg. i have a lovehate onoff liking for FOB and atm, it's a lovelovehate thing. i can't help it. it's horrible. and amazing all at once. blah.

stuck in the box

it's thoughts, not box.

hurry hurry, you put my head in such a flurry, flurry. freckle freckle, what makes you so special? what makes you so special?

maybe? haha. that's what i hear.
