From Now On We Are Enemies Lyrics
'I just want to be better than your head's only medicine'
A downward spiral just a pirouette Getting worse til there's nothing left What good comes of something when I'm just the ghost of nothing? 'I'm just the man on the balcony singing': "Nobody will ever remember me," Rejoice, rejoice and fall to your knees (for a) Lunatic of a god or a god of a lunatic? Oh, their faces are dancing They're dancing til Til they can't stand it A composer but never composed Singing the symphonies of the overdosed A composer but never composed 'Singing': "I only want what I can't have" 'Heralded as a king before I had a birthday With double digits Fit the crown to my head but I was only a kid' 'I'm just the man on the balcony singing': "Nobody will ever remember me," Rejoice, rejoice and fall to your knees (for a) Lunatic of a god or a god of a lunatic? Oh, their faces are dancing They're dancing til Til they can't stand it A composer but never composed Singing the symphonies of the overdosed A composer but never composed 'Singing': "I only want what I can't have" 'I just want to be better than your head's only medicine' 'I'm just the man on the balcony singing': "Nobody will ever remember me," Rejoice, rejoice and fall to your knees (for a) Lunatic of a god or a god of a lunatic? Oh, their faces are dancing They're dancing til Til they can't stand it A composer but never composed Singing the symphonies of the overdosed A composer but never composed 'Singing' "I only want what I can't have"

Like "I'm just the man on the balcony"
and
"Oh, their faces are dancing
They're dancing til
Til they can't stand it"
because of their dad and also
"Heralded as a king before I had a birthday
With double digits
Fit the crown to my head but I was only a kid"
As he was known as 'The King of Pop' but his dad kinda forced it all on him when he was younger
I dunno, just a guess

There is a quote from Salieri in the movie that makes it quite obvious that this is what the song is based on:
"From now on we are enemies, You and I. Because You choose for Your instrument a boastful, lustful, smutty, infantile boy and give me for reward only the ability to recognize the incarnation. Because You are unjust, unfair, unkind, I will block You, I swear it. I will hinder and harm Your creature on earth as far as I am able."
Salieri is pretty much thumbing his nose to God because he hates Mozart, but his music is God's gift to man.
Any, you need proof from the FOB song so... um...
"Lunatic of a God, or God of a lunatic" --> Mozart did have a pretty loony personality, but his music? Incredible. Is Mozart crazy? or God?
"Composer but never composed" ---> obviously Mozart, he was always child like, never tried to act "proper."
"Symphonies for the overdosed" ---> He wrote symphonies for the rich "higher" class. (get it, higher class.... yeah maybe not my best connection."
and of course, he was what 3 and 1/2 when he was writing these symphonies. "Fit the crown to my head but I was only a kid"
and of course, the man on the balcony saying no one will remember him, is our very own Antonio Salieri. You poor bastard.....

Honestly, what I think is that these two people are Wentz before fame and Wentz after fame. Basically, when he wasn't a big rockstar, he wanted to be one.
And now that he is, he doesn't want to be.
Or, about him having like, two personalities, but not really.
Like, two different moods that he often goes through. One, being confident, self-sufficent and comfortable with his life. The other being the other side of himself saying, "What are you doing with this life?" and like, him thinking that what he does amounts to nothing.
That's just my say.
I do like lolcat's interpretation.
