Here's the song watered down with my interpretation:
Give us our once-a-day amount of fake pain
Musicians are selling fake messages
I’m a trended movement revelation change, and you’ll see it
If you’re going to play this music
At least believe in what you’re saying
Write lyrics you actually believe in
In this part of the show we are favored with two examples of persona= the band and its audience
We have the pessimistic band, not truly believing the words they write
I don’t see much of a big emotional uprising
The band writes the depressing lyrics and the audience reacts by, well, being emo
And I for one won’t stand for this
If the scene (scene as in bands/punks/that jazz) was a parish, you’d all be condemned, damned, shunned. Basically emo is a pretty pathetic genre to be.
Basically, Panic! is being pretty harsh on hypocritical emo bands and their whiny stereotypical fans.
