Death of a Party Lyrics

I can see all of those theories working for this song. However, as most songs with lyrics go, it's about how YOU interpret it. I agree with the wallflower posts, but at the end he ends up sleeping with someone he shouldn't have and it just ruins everything. I get this feeling that it's ultimately about how parties are just a way of being someone you aren't especially if you aren't really a partier... you just feel like you're degrading your integrity. The death of a teenager lyric, i think, stands for losing the last piece of his innocence and integrity. Anyway, that's how I see it and associate with it. Excessive partying can disintegrate your soul.

I must say that tjrcash theory is the most reliable one. Every song doesn't have to have only one meaning. True artists can squeeze in multi-meanings in one work. It's no idea that I say what I think this song is about. tjrcash description says it all.
