Send "Switchblades and Infidelity" Ringtone to Cell

Walking out on the show was walking out on you
And walking out on you was the best thing that I ever did.

Last night I saw my world explode.
Well, I'm looking out at you obscured by the stand up arcade
And the sound of the descendants.
Your smile reminds me of switchblades and infidelity.

Last night I saw my world explode.

Send "Switchblades and Infidelity" Ringtone to Cell

    General Comment:to me this song is about that hes glad this girl is out of his life cause she is a cheater "walking out on you was the best thing that i ever did" but on the other hand he kind of wants her "Your smile reminds me of switchblades and infidelity"...If by switchblades he means cutting himself when he sees her smile. In the "Last night i saw my world explode" (chorus) part, im thinking last night he caught her cheating.
    thats what it means to me...its a rad song and so is fall out boy!!!...And there is no such thing as the best song,it could be the best to you,but not in general.(That all depends).

    General Comment:her smile was sharp,powerful, and by smiling like how she was, it stung. and she was pressing his buttons by doing it, , so it hurt him as if a switchblade would.


    noun;a pocketknife, the blade of which is held by a spring and can be released suddenly, as by pressing a button.

    Also called switchblade knife.

    General Comment:well Infidelity is when you cheat on someone. so when he says last night i saw my world explode he caught her cheating. and the sound of the descendents well theyre a band they were on while this was going on and think back he's glad he left the thing they were at when he caught her and he's glad he left her
