I like how brendon urie has deep meanings in his songs and lyrics, he thinks very deep, and good. Im very curious about songs even im 9
That’s awesome! Keep looking for deep stuff in life.
How’s 12 treating u

You’re 15 now cool
could you do an explanation of nails for breakfast, tacks for snacks by p!atd pls
lanaisalonelyfren That song is officially about Ryan Ross’ father dealing with alcoholism
Brendon Urie ik but I want an in depth lyrical analysis because there’s some lines I still don’t get after years of listening to it. Plus it’s one of my favs.
Oh and hi beebo 😝
is it just me that's bothered by that reflection behind him?
themartinezshow Nah
The back of my head is still beautiful. :)
The Pop Song Professor true dat
it didn't bother me till you mentioned it GREAT THANKS
triangle! haha I'm dragging everyone down with me
I actually couldn't figure out the meaning before.
Btw, I just noticed I have the same haircut. Just a tip: use the teeth of a comb to split the spikes of your hair.
Thanks for the tip. :)
build god and then we’ll talk???????????????
i need an explanationzzzzzzzzzz
yikes m8 not the music video tho right, I still can't unsee it
frrrrrrrrrr like im still in need of some holy water for my eyes even tho it came out 10 years ago
This song is a masterpiece.
They build up, level up...so they can be gods (little gods)
Please do one of the new FOB songs off of Mania (maybe Church)???
Julia C YESSS I love Fall Out Boy. But I know the meaning lf church.
Thanks, I frickin' love Brendon Urie and his songs, and I always sense there's a deeper meaning behind the songs but I never really got the full, exact meaning of them. Thanks for making these!
I write sins and Mona Lisa were directed by the same person.
At the end of Mona Lisa there are flames in his eyes because they are burning the witch (Mary).
Hahahahaha. They make weird symbolic music. T H E Y
Aaron Leeman Fucc off you had no permission
I love songs that can have a lot of meanings! To me when I first heard this song I interpreted that the person singing is singing about his relationship with a woman who abuses alcohol and it has gone as far as she is an alcoholic. And he tries to see the good in her and wants to help her out of it but she keeps going back to alcohol.
YES I love this song
Damn I love Panic!
“Wo wo wo wo wo wo”
You know it.
The flames in his eyes was reflecting the towns people burning Mary
"I'm not as think as you drunk I am". so deep, very abstract.
What I got from the song, (if it had anything to do with the music video) is that Mary (girl dressed in black) is the woman that killed brendon. She did it for money but later found that he had nothing after she had already killed him. She did her best to cover it up, referencing the Mona Lisa bit. She quite literally got a taste of what she paid for at the end when the little girl called her out with the note that said “Mary did it”. The money part explained this lyric very well “if she had the proper words to say she would tell him but she’d have nothing left to sell him”
Do "Mad as Rabbits" by Panic! at the disco please!
this is what I think the story is about
as you said the theme is about the battle of good and evil in ones nature and Brandon is trying to help Mary however she kills him. the line (she would tell him that she has nothing left to sell him), means shes done with him. so he loses hope of her changing and gets help from the little girl to get revenge and justice, the line (there is nothing wrong with just a taste of what you payed for) in in my opinion means a lot of things like the line (he starts to notices empty bottles of gin) so she poisons the gin and he drinks it. then there is the ghost were Mary pays the sin by killing him so she gets a taste of revenge and punishment. and the fire means his revenge is done and he delved into his dark side
Do you think you could explain any songs from MANIA, fall out boy’s new album?
América Ávila YES
WE shall see!!!
Don’t you mean *M E M E I A ?*
Boong Tran I like the way you think, Boong
The Anime Potato that likes Fall Out Boy Why thank you,fellow Anime fanatic.
I’m so glad your doing this song. It’s so good!
Penguin Guy then do yourself a favor and watch this th-cam.com/video/OJR4b8ipJRY/w-d-xo.html
This guy obviously didn't and therefore everything he told us was inaccurate.
Sincerely
-Mary/Misty Rose from the video
Misty rose o thanks.
Thank you I️ really love this song
Just discovered your channel, and thus far love it. I feel the Ballad of Mona Lisa is the fallout from I Write Sins Not Tragedies. Mona Lisa/Mary is the bride, and the narrator and the body represent the death of that relationship due to her cheating. The lyrics "There's nothing wrong with just a taste of what you've paid for" suggests facing the repercussions of her actions, in a similar sense to "you reap what you sow".
You *neeeeeed* to look into Mitski's lyrics. You would LOVE "Because Dreaming Costs Money, My Dear" in particular but literally every single song is on par with the lyricism there so its a great place to start
Twenty one pilots, mcr, Panic! at the Disco, He is we, and also a lot of other peeps and there songs...i love music!
(Sorry i had to say this for some reason);)
HAVE A GREAT DAY/NIGHT PEEPS!!!!
More Vices & Virtues and A fever you can't sweat out please!!!!! 😅
Do sunshine riptide by fall out boy
Emperor's New Clothes, as the music video suggests a follow up to This Is Gospel
Yus!!!
can you explain church by fall out boy?
Can you do more panic
I think the flames are "Mary" being burned for her sin in murdering the suggested Brendon Urie
I thought the flames in his eyes in the video were because they were burning Mary at the stake outside?
That's the actual reason. He should probably stick to interpreting lyrics, and not the music videos that accompany the songs. I was interested in looking up more videos from this guy til he said that about the flames in his eyes...lol, it made him look dumb to me.
You're correct!
Thank you. He needs to leave the videos out of it
I'm Mary from the video. Watch this and the video is explained

Uh oh.. I’m addicted to P!ATD now
Most wonderful band to ever exist 💞
Its about a girl Brendon met many years ago on a Halloween night.
He was 15, she was 16, & she was a virgin playing a hooker, he was a boy from Vegas, & she called herself Mona Lisa, he never knew her real name.
She even had put a tattoo on her chest of a purple flower with paint.
The connection they made it felt to both as if they have known each other for centuries.
Beautifully enough, she was still a virgin when they parted ways.
*Truth*
Not even at all what people may have thought, but still truth none the less.
Have a beautiful night or day everyone.
wow. you took what I thought and brought it to a whole new level.
“They”
my name's blurryface and i care what you think well, there were two people in Panic! during the time of Vices and Virtues so yes, they

Sunshine riptide - fall out boy
Can you explain literally all their songs from panic at the discos vice and virtues album
I was kind of expecting a little bit more, probably figured it out already, wanted to hear there's more
Can you explain Girls/Girls/ boys by p!atd?
I had always had a theory surrounding the music videos which basically goes like this:
-I Write Sins Not Tragedies: Brendon exposes that the bride (who I’m going to call Mary) was cheating on her husband (“what a shame the poor groom’s bride is a whore”)
-Say Amen: Mary sends assassins after Brendon, but when they can’t kill him Mona tricks him into having an affair with her and kills him out of revenge for exposing her.
-This Is Gospel: Doctors try to revive Brendon to no avail.
-The Ballad Of Mona Lisa: Brendon’s ghost helps a young girl expose Mary as his killer.
-Emperor’s New Clothes: Brendon’s killer has been served justice so now his ghost can leave the mortal world, which ends up with him descending into hell.
Girl You Love, Casual Affair, and That Green Gentleman
I thought flames in his eyes meant that she was burned as a witch.
Yellowwolley 123 Not a witch. But I did kill him.

“MARY DID IT”

ines castro yup
You're correct

Sincerely,
Mary/Misty Rose
this was uploaded on my birthday :D IM SO HAPPY I LOVE P!ATD
Happy freakin birthday!
The Pop Song Professor thanks 😁
I always thought the flames where reflections of flames they where burning her outside as a taste of the sin she paid for.
Wow the woah woah woah killed me 😂 but I'm so glad I watched this I've been curious about this for years now and now I got some insight
pls do an explanation on "build God then we'll talk"
Sarah smiles from patd vice and virtues album
I FINALLY UNDERSTAND THIS SONG.
Yay!
regarding the video to the song, i thought that Mary was being punished for killing Brendon by being burned and the flames in Brendon's eyes were the reflection of the fire when he looks out the window. At least thats what came to my mind. Also with the fact that the little girl is the only one that can see Brendon mabye that indicates some kind of sixth sense...? These are just my theories

I'm glad you appreciate them. I'm not a very expressive person, so it's always a struggle.
Please explain Master of Puppets by Metallica

Can you explain “Good old days” by Macklemore feat. Kesha
