Dammit Pete! You made me cry again! The rest of you guys don't get what this song really means. "The last blues we're ever gonna have." "And I'm yours 'till the Earth starts to crumble and the Heavens roll away." "I'm struggling to live with you, and without you." "I'm just a full 'tank' away from freedom." (Like if you figured it out). All of these lines are references to 2006, and are re phrasings of past songs about the same topic. This is the best one of the 4 songs, because it's the only one that describes the getting on with life. It's Pete's acceptance of the fact that he will always battle his demons, that they are an immortal part of him. Verses 1,2, and 3 show the progression of his outlook on life, and the chorus means something different with each new context. Pete Wentz, we fucking love you!
I loved this song, then realized even more about its very deep lyrics. This is something very rare to ever hear in mainstream artists, and definitely one of the deepest songs I’ve heard. This song is about Pete Wentz struggle with depression, his bipolar disorder, and even his attempted suicide a few years ago. The last blues being that life would almost be over, “let’s see how deep we can get”, being how many pills he could take. “The glow of the cities take us back” being his hometown Chicago in which the people who loved him kept him back. “I know I should walk, know I should walk away, but I just want to let you break my brain and can’t seem to get a grip”, further going on about his constant battle with his mental illness. Get through all the sadness, the song takes a positive ending to spark hope. Even though it’s all there he can overcome it, deal with his bipolar and depression, hence “sitting through the sand, searching for pieces of broken hourglass trying to put it all together”. Why the song is called “Bishop’s Knife Trick” I’m not entirely sure. That’s another topic.
Because it was the seemingly impossible and dangerous action of someone we all seem to view as holy (Patrick) that lead to him getting help and feeling better
@Hairiv i love your interpretation but something i'd like to point out is that blues can also be used to refer to antideppresants, it's possible it could refer to the time before pete's attempted suicide and the planning and buildup to it
Shit I'm not the only one then When I listened to this song I was really scared that this may be their last album and I SWEAR I cried until my head hurt and I couldn't breathe anymore
idk i personally think this/the lake effect kid ep would be a lovely way to end off things if they were going to. but hopefully not because i want to look at joe trohman for as long as possible lmao
Anathema ___ I love this song. Wut u talking bout. Lol maybe. I haven’t really listened to “Sunshine Riptide” a lot. Ik it’s good tho. I remember it being good.
Your Friendly Neighborhood Emo I didn’t like Young and Menace at first but it grew. This whole album is a bop. My least favorite is Sunshine Riptide but it’s still a good song
Fourth of July: May the bridges I have burned light my way back home Bishop's Knife Trick: The glow of the cities below lead us back to the places that we never should have left
The glow of the city below leads us back to the places that we never should have left. Anyone else see parallels with "I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the light" and "dear gravity you held me down in this starless city"?
Patrick and Joe really did a good job with the engineering on this album, but most specifically this track. I love Y&M to death but when you listen with earphones on high volume, the backing vocals and instrumental track really pop out here. I hope they do more engineering if FOB release any future albums because I think this album is quite honestly one of the best in that sense
you know when people say "I'm crying" and you know they're not cause they're being dramatic I wish that were me but no my dudes I'm crying so hard my head hurts thanks fall out boy :')
Aren't we gonna talk about 'looking through pieces of broken hourglass, trying to put it all back, put it back together,as if the time had never passed...'? It's such a beautiful line!
Same, like at the end of summer while you're lookig back at all the memories you made, wishing you could experience them all again but you know you can't. Sometimes you just want to pause life and really live in the moment, but once again, you know you can't
The only "pity party" she is getting is the one shes throwing herself lol. Fall Out Boy stole that line, gave it actual substance, cultivated an album around the concept and did it all without raping anyone.
Man I'm so gonna play this song in my graduation because its awasome and really nostalagic like that nostalagic feelings you have when you're remembering your last summer activity and freedom from school with your friends, family or even yourself. Also our school uniform is blue so its kinda match. I'm also plan gonna play wilson (expensive mistake) because that represent my entire emotion and feelings about school in general when I'm there. Sorry if there's any missspelled english is my second language
This song is really amazing. Like wow. The lyrical side in and of itself is amazing. The metaphor of the broken hourglass was perfect. The way he sang each part is amazing. Going through the chorus once and then the second time have those jumps. The whole bridge was great. The way he went back into the chorus. With “Blueueueueueues” was like so good. And so fun to sing along to. And the music. Oh god the music. It’s just so good. Every little timing is perfect and the riffs and sociekk. Wow. This song is just so amazing. It’s almost impossibly amazing. Like. Wow.
I was pretty skeptical of Mania when we got Young and Menace, but The Last of the the Real Ones and this track made the whole album worth the sticker price. Sure I miss the good old days of FoB, but I can learn to love this mew style
this is my favourite song. not just because the melody of the chorus is so powerful, or because nighttime cities are forever my favourite aesthetic, but because whenever something is bringing me down, the lyrics somehow manage to match the situation. the situations are totally different, too: losing a friend, realising a crush doesn't feel the same way about me, me dating somebody and realising i don't actually love them and maybe never did, moving to a different country, regretting something terribly... idk how this song DOES it but i always find something in it to relate to. damn.
callicomartian Actually, since some of the music is more "upbeat" and rolls more with "pop" than "rock", and FOB is technically a genre-neutral band, calling certain songs "pop punk" is okay. However, this particular one is not so much pop punk as, perhaps, Young and Menace or Sunshine Riptide.
I just came to this song from listening to tell that mick just to feel for how far Pat, Pete, Andy, and Joe have came and this is a lot to handle. I've done this sort of thing before by Chicago Is So Two Years Ago to Dance, Dance to Hum Hallelujah to Headfirst Slide to The Phoenix to Jet Pack Blues to Wilson but just going from the first song on the first album to the most recently realeased song is so nice. I suggest you do both of these. Listen to one song off each album from TTTYG to MANIA to see the evolution and then go back to TTTYG and then listen to something off MANIA right after. 💜
This song always reminded me of graduation. Something encroaching upon you that you can't stop, so you've just got to make the best of the time you have with the people you know you'll never see again
Honestly, this might be my favorite song off the album, definitely one of my favorite Fall Out Boy songs in general. It's just so... powerful and meaningful, even though it's one of the more mellow (?) songs on Mania. It reminds me of jet pack blues, one of my other favorites. Both songs really grow on you; I've probably listened to Jet Pack Blues more than most of the hit songs on AB/AP and I expect the same will happen with this one
It suggests regret and resignation. The third verse in particular gets me. "I'm sifting through the sand, sand, sand/Looking through pieces of broken hourglass/Trying to get it all back/Put it back together/As if the time had never passed"
when patrick said the glow of the cities below lead us back to the places that we never should have left i think that means that the happines of the fans when it comes to their old pop punk sound makes them realise they never should have left it in the first place BTW 1-800 SAVE RYAN ROSS
*I'm sifting through the sand sand sand, looking for pieces of broken hourglass. Trying to get it all back, put it back together as if the time has never passed* That speaks to me
I just googled Bishop knife trick hoping to find the clip from the Aliens 2 movie. I had no idea about this, this definitely came as a great shock to me since FOB is one of my favorite bands and Bishop is my favorite character from Aliens XD FOB, bless you
I remember when I first discovered this song several years ago. I wasn't in a good place, I felt unsafe where I was, I had anxiety attacks every night and I just felt useless and worthless. There's always that little voice that tells you all the dark shit, pushing you towards doing the worst thing possible. Though I was peppy and cheerful on the outside, on the inside I was a different person. Videogames didn't make me feel better, television didn't make me feel better, even writing, one of my passions, didn't make me feel better. In fact everything I wrote during that time was just awful, and I touted myself and claimed it was my greatest work. There came I time where I asked myself why I was even here, it just wasn't worth it anymore. But then I discovered this song, and the lyrics just spoke to me in a way most music that I listened to didn't. I heard it the first few times and liked it but I didn't fall in love with it until I listened to it. I'll admit, this song made me cry unlike many things in this world, but it made me realize that there was so much more to live for. So I got up, dusted myself off, acknowledged my problems and got better, and to this day I am happy that I discovered this song. I still listened to it, and when it gets to the final verse I can't help but start to sing, because that part speaks to me the most. This also got me to listen to some of FOB's older albums where I fell in love with Saving Rock and Roll again, and my favorite lyric from the whole album happens to be "You are what you love, not who loves you." and it's true, if you don't love yourself you don't deserve to be loved. So thanks Fallout Boy for making so many good songs. Those were indeed the last blues I ever had, and if I hadn't discovered this song, I doubt I would have recovered.
"I'm struggling to exist with you, and without you" No truer words have ever been spoken
Isabel W. They put that feeling into words. I’m shook.
@@wheezie5263 kool
It has some kind of nostalgia that reminds me of "4th of July" and "Jet Pack Blues"
I got a jet pack blues feel from it.
SAME AND ITS MAKES ME SO EMOTIONAL
The beginning up to 0:18 kind of reminds me of end of all things by p!atd
roxipeter I get that feel too
Omg same i thought I'm the only one
Dammit Pete! You made me cry again!

I think that’s why I just love them so fucking much, all the references in pretty much every song 😍😍😍😍 lsbflaks shslnanevel so awesome
I'm dumb. Please explain.
Or the where it's like 'I'm searching through the sand...looking for pieces of broken hourglass' as a reference to immortals like fuck man
I just made the 500th like. 2006, hey? mmmm.

The title is a reference to a scene in Alien. FOB names a lot of songs after movie references when they don't have an otherwise meaningful title.
Isn't Bishops knife trick also something in chess?
@Hairiv i love your interpretation but something i'd like to point out is that blues can also be used to refer to antideppresants, it's possible it could refer to the time before pete's attempted suicide and the planning and buildup to it
@@anevenbluerjay or like a full album
Hearing him say 'the last' always freaks me out like
"IF THIS IS THE LAST ALBUM I'LL CRY"
Shit I'm not the only one then
When I listened to this song I was really scared that this may be their last album and I SWEAR I cried until my head hurt and I couldn't breathe anymore
doggos not druggos Everyone's always like "I'll we waiting for MCR to pull a FOB!" I'm like "....we all know that FOB will pull an MCR"
For so long I thought he was saying go us
idk i personally think this/the lake effect kid ep would be a lovely way to end off things if they were going to. but hopefully not because i want to look at joe trohman for as long as possible lmao
SAME OMG I'M GLAD I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO PANICKS
"Bishops Knife Trick" is probably the coolest title to a song I've ever heard.
Nekrotix a reference to the movie aliens
BloodyBatons I know, I know. Still a cool title though.
Right after Kitchen Sink

I feel that this is one of the most underrated tracks on the album tbh
Anathema ___ I love this song. Wut u talking bout. Lol maybe. I haven’t really listened to “Sunshine Riptide” a lot. Ik it’s good tho. I remember it being good.
Its the "the kids aren't alright" of Mania
I feel like the whole album is underrated...

For infinity on high the most underrated song is Me and you.
One of the most underrated on this album. Amazing!
Lyrically, this is definitely one of Fall Out Boy’s best written songs.

This song makes me so sad...
THIS SONG IS SO UNDERRATED
Aren't we gonna talk about 'looking through pieces of broken hourglass, trying to put it all back, put it back together,as if the time had never passed...'? It's such a beautiful line!

Honestly, this might be my favorite song off the album, definitely one of my favorite Fall Out Boy songs in general. It's just so... powerful and meaningful, even though it's one of the more mellow (?) songs on Mania. It reminds me of jet pack blues, one of my other favorites.
Both songs really grow on you; I've probably listened to Jet Pack Blues more than most of the hit songs on AB/AP and I expect the same will happen with this one
I got chills
Fall Out Boy snatched Melanies "Pity Party" weave
Honestly tho
This song makes me cry for some reason
It suggests regret and resignation. The third verse in particular gets me. "I'm sifting through the sand, sand, sand/Looking through pieces of broken hourglass/Trying to get it all back/Put it back together/As if the time had never passed"
Erline Andrews that part really gets to me too, relates to my life so much right now 😱
This song makes me feel empty, not in a bad way just empty of certainty, I don’t know, but I love it

im not crying, you are
By far the best on the album.
this is so soothing
Some people say "I'm crying" but they are just dramatic, yet there's me asking my mom to bring me more tissues
I hope that these are the last blues they're ever gonna have. That would mean that they never are unhappy again. They deserve that.
when patrick said the glow of the cities below lead us back to the places that we never should have left i think that means that the happines of the fans when it comes to their old pop punk sound makes them realise they never should have left it in the first place BTW 1-800 SAVE RYAN ROSS

my favorite song of 2018 it's so uplifting and makes me feel better no matter what
The last blues we're ever gonna have
Lets see how deep we get.
Didn’t expect this to be my favourite off Mania but I think it is at this point
I remember when I first discovered this song several years ago. I wasn't in a good place, I felt unsafe where I was, I had anxiety attacks every night and I just felt useless and worthless. There's always that little voice that tells you all the dark shit, pushing you towards doing the worst thing possible. Though I was peppy and cheerful on the outside, on the inside I was a different person. Videogames didn't make me feel better, television didn't make me feel better, even writing, one of my passions, didn't make me feel better. In fact everything I wrote during that time was just awful, and I touted myself and claimed it was my greatest work. There came I time where I asked myself why I was even here, it just wasn't worth it anymore. But then I discovered this song, and the lyrics just spoke to me in a way most music that I listened to didn't. I heard it the first few times and liked it but I didn't fall in love with it until I listened to it. I'll admit, this song made me cry unlike many things in this world, but it made me realize that there was so much more to live for. So I got up, dusted myself off, acknowledged my problems and got better, and to this day I am happy that I discovered this song. I still listened to it, and when it gets to the final verse I can't help but start to sing, because that part speaks to me the most. This also got me to listen to some of FOB's older albums where I fell in love with Saving Rock and Roll again, and my favorite lyric from the whole album happens to be "You are what you love, not who loves you." and it's true, if you don't love yourself you don't deserve to be loved. So thanks Fallout Boy for making so many good songs. Those were indeed the last blues I ever had, and if I hadn't discovered this song, I doubt I would have recovered.
This song kicks ass!
