OMG PETE WENTZ!!!!111!!!1!!!!111!! eye wud sew 2ally doo him!!11!!!

They goddamn suck. This song is just garbage. Mostly, look at comments. "Like Joel Madden" "Im a guy and I would so makeout with Pete". "On TRL". Everything thing about this is wrong. Fall out boy are big sellouts. Just like The Used, just like Yellowcard. At least Story of the Year got it right and made their shit harder. At least I can respect that.

All my friends that loved FOB now hate them and their concerts are just a bunch of girls screaming for them. Thats not what the emo scene needs. Go fucking listen to something better. The Bled, Winter Solstice, Throwdown, hell even MCR rocks hard. Drop these two bit sellouts. Riding the damn emo wave onto gay ass trl so you can watch about 20 seconds of the actually video.

ok.... umm... one word..... HOMECOMING... it's about homecoming or prom night... simple...

you always fold just
before you're found out
drink up its last call, last resort
but only the first mistake

I really don't get this bit. ;P

she says she's no good
with words but i am worse:
*he knows that's what type of person she is. But she's just using it as an excuse not to say what's really on her mind- that she's not in love with him anymore. She doesn't understand that he's worse with words, so he's not gonna say anything eiher.

barely stuttered out
a joke of a romantic
stuck to my tongue:
*he's akward with words- further proof that he can't bring himself to talk to her.

weighed down with words
too overdramatic:
*Words would just be redundent anyway. They both know what's going on without a word spoken

tonight it's it can't get much worse
vs. no one should ever feel like:
*Tonight it's he's feeling worse than usual about their situation.

i'm two quarters and a heart down
and i don’t want to forget
how your voice sounds
these words are all i have
so i write them
so you need them just to get by:
*He can't call her on the payphone (no quarters) (he mentioned that in an interview) Now he feels heatbroken cause he wanted to hear her voice (not wanting to "forget" is an excuse). Since everything is against him talking ths thing out, so the words he wrote out are all the words with which he can communicate. So he hopes it will get his point across. (point being he wants her to leave him- since she's fallen out of love and is cheating anyway- because he doesn't have the will to leave her.

dance, dance
we're falling apart to half time

* I think here he's talking about pretending. Maybe they're dancing around truth. Even though they "dance," he knows they're not like they used to be.

dance, dance
and these are the lives you love to lead:
*This is to those on the outside looking in. That before you want someone else's life, what looks perfect may not be so.

dance, this is the way they'd love
if they knew how misery loved me:
*He saying that women would love him as much as he falls in love with them if they knew how much misery he went through over love.

you always fold just
before you're found out
drink up its last call, last resort
but only the first mistake:
*She gets ready to say something about it, but then she "folds out" like in poker, you never know what the person who folded was holding. {i should know, check out my screenname} But his plan is to get her a little tipsy. That way maybe she'll start talking.

why don't you show me
a little bit of spine
you've been saving for his mattress (love){just "love," not "with love.":
*literally, he's talking about sex- sex she's been having with someone else. It's also a metaphor for the fact that he wants her to admit what she's been doing, as in "show me a little bit spine." Then that makes "you've been saving for his mattress" an acusation, telling her he knows. The "(Love)" is spoken sort of condescendingly.

i only want sympathy
in the form of you
crawling into bed with meed with me:
*Now she feels bad cause he knows. They can't pretend anymore. But he's past words now. He's saying he only wants payback in the form of her. And Not just for meaningly sex. There's a tone of desparation in his voice, like he knows that will get her back.

{addictive song. That's my take on it. I'm big on mystery and illusion, so "..and these are the lives you want to live" is my favorite part. There's a sexiness to the song, also. It's a fast temp song in an exhausted minor key. It makes me think about how There's something so sexual about wanting love. (i probably went a little too deep on that one- it's ok if you're like, "huh?" Even better if you understood.

I hate how FOB seems to think that they're cool when no one can understand the lyrics they sing. It bloody pisses me off.

two step baby!

I think when they wisper they are sayig we're switching to d, like in playing the music, dont remember where I heeard that, but Im pretty sure thats it, I think it was when I was watching the vidio.

I LOVE this song, its my vidio on my my space. I dont know if the vidio is anything liek what they wanted to get across, but it makes me laugh EVERYTIME I see it!!

anyways, why do we need to read so much into song lyrics, I was reading comments in American Idiot Cd from Greenday, and everyone has to pick songs apart,waht happend to just lystening to music, not dyceting it!!
just my 2 cents!

hahahhaa

day one, three years ago?

they've been a band much longer than three years.

holy shit i love fall out boy

wow this is 1 of ma fave fll out boy songs! its so good it just makes me wanna get up and dance!!! fab song!

Im two quarters and a eart down
And I dont want to forget
How your voice sounds
These words are all I have
So I write them
So you need them just to get by

Fave quote in the song!!!

i think this band sucks. I hope their tour bus wrecks and they all die (very soon). i cant believe people actually listen to this crap and try to create sophisticated explainations for their mainstream lyrics. The band Fallout boy is living proof that retards can become famous, much like timmy off southpark. All of you suck and I wish runny poo upon all of you.

This band sucks. I hope their tour bus wrecks and they all die. Their fans are all idiots yes you.

Yah this song is hella annoying

I know someone who bought the album this song appears on and plays it all the time in his car. I find myself often stuck riding with him and listening to it.

So let me just say this: While the lyrics are interesting and have a certain mellifluous cadence to them, the music strikes me as nothing more than auto-tuned polish with negligible original talent. Fallout Boy, generally speaking, reminds me of Savage Garden reworked with guitars for the millennium generation. Nothing new here, nothing remarkable, just overly-distorted fluff that pleases the masses.

I don't mean to offend anyone with this commentary, but considering this is an open forum, I just thought I'd add my two cents' worth.

Hey Nepenthes! You're a pussy and so is Fallout boy. Nepenthes you're such a fag. I hate you more than fallout boy.

I think all the haters should take this shit over. They fucking suck and everyone should burn them on a cross. Simple non offending lyrics for the masses. Corporate whores

Who ever said the word "hate"? This is a public forum where many opinions collide, often dramatically. Turkishreno187 and watchmedie85 most certainly have a lack of decorum for the different musical philosophies that revolve so freely within our media-aware world. I'm just sorry that they cannot defend their own, personal feelings about this band with more respect for themselves and others.

This song is so awesome! I can't wait for their concert on April 7th because i love them pete is my bf!!! :)!

Sorry, but these lyrics are ALL WRONG.

The real lyrics:

Shee zas shees snow gooh
Wit words wood ein worse
Quick strutter and a
joke of a roman candle
stuck to my tongue.
Weighed down with word stu
Hoover dramatic
To ny is a cabin much herse
Theres no one hear to ebber fear light

Im two coolers and hard dawn
And I dont want to have get how her voice sounds
And these swords are all I have so fight them
She kneed me just to get by

Teds pants
They're falling apart the twelfth time
Teds pants
And this is the walrus you love to eat
This is the way they look for you
Mr. Miyagi

Use always folgers
Bafor you found out
Drink up its
last call last shot
Rad home ee ba
first my steak
EE GAA

Im two coolers and hard dawn
And I dont want to have get how her voice sounds
And these swords are all I have so fight them
She kneed me just to get by

Raphael showed me
Liddle bit a spark
Given savy thought his bed arrests

Teds pants
They're falling apart the twelfth time
Teds pants
And this is the walrus you love to eat
This is the way they look for you
Mr. Miyagi

*crappy instrumental*

White nacho showed me
Liddle bit a spark
Given savy thought his bed arrests

Naomi Watts too
The thing in the front of you
Crawling into bed with meeeeee

Teds pants
They're falling apart the twelfth time
Teds pants
And this is the walrus you love to eat
This is the way they look for you
Mr. Miyagi

baayyyy
heeyyy
heeyyy
baayyyy
ooooooooooooo
This is the way they look for you
Hey
MR. MIYAGI.

Fall Out Boy suck rectum

daysleeping, you really crack me up.
you are really lame. some people are actually here to comment on song meanings, hence the name of the website douchebag. and people like turkishreno are entitled an opinion, but this isnt the right place your just wasting space with irrelevant crap.
im not a big fan of fallout boy to be honest, but I like this song alot. it sounds quite alot like panic at the disco though...
anyway, i think it is about how life is like once long dance. or maybe its about how people forget that you can just dance to music aswell as likeing/hating/analysing/criticising/worshipping it.

oh yeah and turkishreno, dont go around making offhand comments about how you wish people would die in tourbus crashes, its sick, and it wont be so funny if someone you love dies tomorrow.

Actually, I'm trying to correct the lyrics.

You can't write the meaning of lyrics if they are wrong, hm...?

By the way, what the FUCK is a "douchebag"?

Craziest insult ever.

this song is one of their good songs. otherwise they mostly suck. i got bored after their first song in their album.
MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!
