Enjoy, all! Brendon Urie and Panic! at the Disco made something truly awesome when they wrote "I Write Sins, Not Tragedies." I'm glad they shared it with us, and I'm happy to explain my explanation of the meaning of the lyrics with you.

Also, I have uploaded this before, but that time it was an enormous podcast that no one cared about, so I figured I'd cut it down to something a little more manageable.

Ryan wrote the lyrics ‘haven’t you people ever heard of closing the goddamn door?’ because his dad walked in on him and his girlfriend and said that exact thing.
BRENDON URIE DID NOT WRITE THIS SONG
FAGLIATELLE RYAN WROTE THAT CUZ HIS DAD WALKED IN ON HIM AND HIS GIRLFRIEND?!?!
Edit: I'm such a noob. Well, back then I was. I saw it somewhere in an interview.
IKR! Everyone assumes that Brendon Wrote the lyrics for all the songs. But it was Him, Jon, Spencer, and especially Ryan. Ryan basically wrote Pretty. Odd.
They all contributed
@@moonlitsins2642 clalm the hell.dolwln. fans know how the song was written. Rabid ryan fans
All of them wrote it not just brendon and not just ryan. all of them
When I first heard this song a few years back, I thought the lyrics were "It's better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poisoned rationality."
Samantha me too! And it still fits the context of the song😀😀
Same
Same
So did I bro.
And still also fits the context of the song perfectly.
It took me a second to understand the opening sequence
Two Duet Pianos I just found out that this was narrated by the groom. I thought it was the waiter this entire time 😂
Man, I didn't even realize the song hardly rhymes and I've sung it countless times...
Wait... Did I just... I am so done with myself :D
Brilliant Chaos deadd
U did👽
?? i dont get it
I constantly thank god for Ryan Ross for the lyrics
Ryrolectric Studios Yeah but thank God that Brendon sings it not ryan
but do you also thank esteban?
mary simon of course
You’ve got too many too many faces but Ryans backup vocals bring me back to life
tbh i would have loved it if ryan sang more songs
I always interpreted it as the groom actually called the wedding off after overhearing the exchanging of words. Like, he lashed out at them for not closing the door before bad-mouthing the bride, but then faced the thing with a sense of poise and rationality, realized they were right, and then called off the wedding. Later, at what was to be the wedding reception, he says "Look at it this way: technically, our marriage is saved." As in, "If we had gotten married, you would've kept cheating on me, broke my heart, and then it would've ended in a messy divorce. By not getting married in the first place, we avoid all that." Then he calls for a toast, and... that's it.
There's A Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey You Just Haven't Thought Of It Yet by Panic! Is my ultimate fav
It's my second, mostly because of the good lyrics!
I'M THE NEW CANCER NEVER LOOKED BETTER, YOU CAN'T STAND IT!!!
YASS THATS MY FAVE PANIC! SONG EVER, OR JUST MY FAVE SONG EVER
laced
with
*nitroglycerin*
SAME
Ok but NOT brendon wrote the song but their former guitarist ryan ross... and i don't wanna say this is wrong cause like you keep saying this is just a theory and others can have their own imagines of the song but it's kinda revealed that it's about ryan's breakup with his girlfriend. He imagined that it all could have been worse (for example a breakup on their wedding). Also very much songs on 'a fever you can't sweat out' are about this breakup, cause ryan, every time he broke up with someone, he got rly emo and that stuff... So yea ^-^
Luca Rehrl I was looking for this comment !
I was waiting too
Thank you 👏👏👏👏 Ryan wrote afycso and pretty. odd.
Me too you know panic! More than this guy wow!
mariana12280 panic is beyond the Book. A girlfriend breaking up could do a lot for a musician or lirycs writer career. Nothing brings truthful meaning to a song than be written by a broken heart. Nobody likes the songs he wrote while he panic about losing her.... but until his heart was broken did the real sentiment really finally flowed
Good job. You closed the goddamn door lol
OMG, YOU CLOSED THE GODDAMN DOOR!
I always read “well look at it this way...our marriage is saved” as he would be calling the wedding off, because now he knows she cheated on him and it’s “saved” because he’s no longer entering into an unfaithful marriage
I CHIMED IN *slams door* Rude...
the closing door thing is literally the best
can you explain crazy=genius by p!atd?
Søft Racøøn for the the music video should be if they make one shiuld be a sequel to i write sins not tradgedies music video
O mah gawd I love that profile pic💜
I love your profile pic
I knew the door would be a running joke throughout the video as soon as I saw the title :P
"I'm gonna be on fleek dad" 😎
I've been summoned
Beebo Urie yes my father?
crying hahahahahah
The repetition of the second verse with the way he sings it represents 2 different meanings to me. The first time it's him wanting to quietly work out their problems like her side of the family would. Saving the marriage by fixing it. The second is after he finds her cheating again. That time he "saves the marriage" by breaking off the engagement before they're even married. Going to celebrate dodging a bullet with his crazy side of the family.
‘Haven’t you people ever heard of, closing the goddamn door’
Lmao the first seconds of the video
Thank you so much for closing the gosh damn door. Brendon would've been so upset.
AHHH GOT NOTICED!!
You closed the goddamn door
YESSSSSS! You should do more panic! at the disco! Also I died when you closed the door! Awesome video, you are hilarious and smart!
I would love to see the rest of a fever you can't sweat out or build god then we'll talk
All the World , all the power but N3-18:32 says it all. Yes you're ministers and yes you have authority but you serve a higher authority I know I do and he has wrote it and his word is endless and he does not lie. Or is it you have so much power that you think you're justified to deny his gospel? If I die Saturday night you'll pray for my soul on Sunday and He will forgive you played with his knowledge and cost his kingdom a soul? For he knows all that is, was and will be. And only are we witnesses of what he mercifully allows us to see. What can you tell me from JS before he was 14? None of our business for he was choosed for his future not his past. What do you know from His Begotten before he was 30 and after he was a child in the temple? None of our business all we know is he remained without sin all those years. What or how or why or how many tribulations endured that period? He who's name is I AM doesn't want me to know it all for what purpose will it all have to be then if we knew the answers to every questions of every soul? I am humble to be used by my sins to save a soul if that would only be my destiny. I would be grateful as I am full of love for everyone even on their birthdays
PORKY catchedDODO um... How do I react?
Can't go wrong with some Panic at the Disco 😄 THANK YOU!!
This song is crazy. I just went to a concert on friday and in between sets they would play popular pop punk songs (green day, bink 182, sum 41 etc) and one of the songs right before the headlining band went on stage was "I Write Sins, Not Tragedies". And the entire room was singing along to this song, it was really cool.
And about closing the door: you need to close the doors in the winter when the heating is on or you'll "heitz die Gass'" literal translation: "heat the ally way."
OMG yes, thanks for this. I have always been super curious as to what Ryan Ross was writing about!
Your username is gold 🤣🤣🤣
Do they omit the word "whore" in the radio version? Because that's the #1 most essential word in the entire song for understanding the rest of it, and I was utterly confused for months and months trying to understand what the song was about. Finally looked the lyrics up online to find out I'd only been missing 1 word that entire time. My ears can't be that bad...
Yess, lov P!ATD!! Could u please explain the titles of these songs with titles that aren't in the lyrics?? Lots of songs by Panic, like "London Beckoned a song about money written by machines" and "The only difference between martyrdom and suicide is press coverage" are like that. Thanks for your videos, they're really great!
I’m not sure it’s accurate but i read somewhere they’re lyrics that didn’t make it into the song but they still wanted to get them somehow in it
the titles are references to movies or books they saw/read during the writing and recording of the album. This is what Brendon said: "For this whole album, we were all sitting around and choosing quotes from commercials, movies, books. It was all inside jokes. We would be watching a movie together and be like, ‘Oh, that would be funny,’ because that describes this song kind of."
Cosmic Centaur oo, that's interesting! Thank you.
I miss them naming their songs like that. Fall Out Boy used to do something similar too.
S M Well, now Brendon has no band mates to have inside jokes with 😂😂
Don't threaten me with a good time :)
thank you for this golden content
You are welcome.
I've always thought the "technically our marriage is saved" part was he didn't get married, so he didn't have to deal with the infidelity that was going on behind his back. And then went on to get drunk with the champagne because he spent too much money on it.
Next can you do this is gospel if you haven't already.
He’s already made a video on it btw
NoLifeTrev ok thank you I've been off TH-cam for a while.
I disagree about the mimes and clowns part, I believe the wife’s side are mimes because they know about the cheating through rumors or something and don’t say anything, which makes the grooms side look like clowns, since they have no idea and are enjoying themselves
“I chime in with the haven’t you people ever heard of closing the God damn door” I’m not sure if he did explain this and I just missed something but this portrays when he is overhearing the people talking about the affair that he joins their conversation and tells them to “close the door” which means to just let it go and get over it. Ik this was explained but I thought I’d go into further depth for people like myself that took a minute or two to get it.
I always thought the “technically our mariage is saved” meant that it was saved because their was no wedding, because you can have only one weeding in a church and it’s safe for a wedding with someone better who doesn’t cheat
Finally! I was waiting for this :P
You saying 'on fleek' gives me life ❤
Seriously the best channel out there! Been around for a while, and the content just keeps getting better!
Great explanation!! And I'm so excited now, I never knew about your email list for songwriting tips!! Just signed up😄
song writing prompt:
(okay I’ve never actually tried to write a song let alone a stanza for one so please standby-)
_raging waters in the depths_
_pounding on the outside of darkness_
_no pride, nor shame, nor grace_
_pull a string, watch it ravel away_
it’s deep in ways i can’t explain
but yay
and nice vid, man, good job
0:00 to 0:05 is EVERYTHING
How can a song be this iconic?😭❤️
I was searching what this song about and didn’t even know this video existed! It’s so cool! You got a subscriber.
Perfect! Also, I would love if you did some Green Day :)
Clicked for Panic!. Found a great new TH-camr in the process, love your videos!
Yay! Welcome to the fam!
Oh my gosh your songwriting tip just gave me a brilliant idea for the end of my music GCSE composition! Thank you!!
You're welcome!
And please do But it's better if you do music video... Pls pls... It's a mystery to me
Jagyanseni Pruthal ME TOO
I've always loved P!ATD lyrics, never fails to either enchant me or make me emotional in one way or another.
One band who's lyrics I've always been curious about is Glass Animals, particularly the Zaba album, buuut that isn't exactly pop.
They manage to make the weirdest lyrics ("peanut butter vibes" "lemon peel now suck it" etc) sound sultry and intriguing.
I'm terrible at song or lyric interpretation or analysis, so mostly my education comes from TH-cam comment theories lmao.... (Never fails that any song will have the interpretation of "it's about drugs!")
A lot of glass animals are just weird for the sake of being weird. Example: Pork Soda. The lyric 'pineapples are in my head' seem like it has some deep meaning, but nope. Apparently one of the band members overheard a homeless man say it to himself and thought it sounded cool.
My god this makes so much sense!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for this because I’ve been wondering about what the real meaning was
Nice job dude, love your vids
WE NEED TO CLOSE THE GOD DAMN DOORS and this was amazing ❤️❤️💚💚❤️❤️
MiniAngel TheAngelicProtecter OMG Virgil. That's a really nice prof pic!
vvvvvvvvvvvirgil
also-
CLOSE THESE DOORS
Thanks :)
Thanks also nice person man or women
Yay another Panic! ... Thank youuuu😍😍😍😍 Love youu
That intro just made my day 😂
YES I LOVE PANIC!
This one's for you then. :)
Very interesting video 👍 I'm new to your channel, but I really like the quality of your videos, cause you explain stuff on point, but leaving out unnecessary stuff, to keep it tight 👌
Thanks. I don't mess around with analysis. :P
The Pop Song Professor you're welcome ☺
Thank you for existing Cliff.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I always thought the "Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door" meant that, since everyone knows the bride had cheated on him, they might as well had left the door opended while making out
I love it when you post P!ATD videos. I love your channel.
Yea, Ryan Ross, did you hear that? YOU'RE SONGWRITING IS SO FREAKING GOOD!!!!!
Love your vidz man live you
Oh man I got pinned
I would love if you explained Nearly Witches from P!ATD. It’s my absolute favorite song of their’s. But I know it doesn’t quite have the same name recognition as some of their other songs so I understand if you don’t do it. And side note, it’d be awesome if you did some G-Eazy, he does have quite a few of those typical rap songs about how great he is, but he has some really amazing stuff if you’re willing to look past those songs. Also side note to the side note, you’re the best! :)
I've thought about doing G-Eazy for a while. I really need to study what he's got.
Ooh thanks for the songwriting advice!
Very welcome.
I like the podcasts!
Yeah, I figured I'd just keep them on iTunes and keep videos on TH-cam--mixing them up just doesn't seem to work.
First video of yours I see.
Subscribed fuck yeah!
Yay! Welcome!!!!!!!
Looove the beginning door thing yasss
I’m gonna be on fleek dad… I just can’t, that face… really made me laugh.
i like to think theres a double meaning in the song, since "poise and rationality" can also be interpreted as "poisoned rationality". food for thought.
"i wish i didn't have to rhyme every time i sang"
I was told when I grow up all my fears would shrink
The Pop Song Professor omg you replied!! Thank you and your videos are all (the two ive watched) so good. Ive just come accross your vids today and i already love them
But now i’m insecure, and care what people think!🖤❤️
Panic at the disco is my absolute favorite! I love all of their songs, and Camisado is one of my all time favourites. Could you explain Nearly Witches the next time? I like that song, and I don't know why it's not that famous as so many others. Or maybe House Of Memories?
Just curious, but are you going to do some videos with Bastille songs? They're amazing, with songs that are open for everyone to interpret in their own way. Laughter lines, The Poet, Glory, The Draw, The Anchor, Send them off!
Really great work 👍👍👍👌
That intro was the best thing ever
NEW VIDEO AND IT'S P!ATD! BRENDON! HELL YES!! 😘
YOUR BACKGROUND IS EVERYTHING I WANT IT IN MY ROOM
Hi! Can you explain Kiwi by Harry Styles?
Klára Kozlayová I want that too😊😊
I thumbs up for the beginning of the intro.. That's was amazing.
Thank You for this
That intro is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen
You closed the shit outta that door sir. Bravo.5 stars
Because of the door closing thing in the beginning, I realized I'm definitely a fangirl 😳😊😊
THAT INTRO OMFG BRENDON WHERE ARE YOU COME SEE THIS GUY HE'S CLOSING THE GODDAMN DOOR
he closed the door at the beginning, that's EVEN DEEPER.
Can you please do a video like the one you did explaining 100 pop songs but with Panic! At The Disco songs?
That's a really good idea.
That would be AWESOME!!!
Similar to the twenty one pilots one would be dope
The Pop Song Professor I think it would be really cool! A lot of their songs are really deep
pop song professor and panic!? u spoil me
The intro gives me life
You deserved my like within the first five seconds.
The alarm thing scared the living shit out of me
I loved that beginning part so much 😂😂😂😂
When I first heard the song, I thought it was "With a sense of poison rushing out of me" instead of "With a sense of poise and rationality"
the first 5 seconds of this video gave me life on this lonely essay writing night haha XD
Love your videos... Can u do Do you know what I'm seein?
Isn't Brendon the 'ringleader' of that circus??AKA wedding.
He's leading the uprise or upset of the attendants in a 'dance of clown's'.
You're correct, it's _all_ just a show. Great video, thanks.
Thank you for closing the door or it would get me triggered
Ryan Ross was the main writer of A fever you can't sweat out, and pretty odd. Spencer and John also had hands in most songs.
unrelated but I accidentally had the speed set to .5 and I was really confused as to what was happening for the first 30 seconds
OMG YAY MORE PANIC! THANK YOU
explain "Dream" by Imagine Dragons
I loved the beginning 👏
Really good
I know this is a random request, but can you explain Collar Full by Panic? It's my favorite song by them. Also your videos are awesome.
I would love to see an explanation of Tables.
