This song, written after Fall Out Boy first played South by Southwest, is about how people expect too much of the bands, and how too much pressure is placed on them to sucessed. These bands are expected to do what the people in the suits are telling them to, but they don't nessicarily want to. This is Fall Out Boy's way of telling us what happens to these bands that end up on MTV. Someone along the line told them that "this and this" is going to be the next big thing, so the band makes it their thing, and like that, they are the new it band. They have all girls, the press, and the money. Yet, as soon as whatever was their thing is no longer cool, they drop ("I will die without all this attention")

I think the song means that pretty boys have a girlfriend that they keep from their parents..(Every pretty boy has a secret girl) or the boys like a certain girl a lot but they keep it a secret because they know they never would have a chance with that girl.

We're pretty boys For secret girls Who never stood a chance in the world these lyrics mean that they are attractive to girls who they imagine and make up how their ideal girl would be I'm not ready for sincerity I'd tell any lie to keep you listening this part is about how they don't want pity from girls, they want them to like them, so they tell lies because they want them in their lives. that should start you off...
