Well I'm not very sure how this would help or contradict your interpretation, but the song title means : Gay Is Not A Synonym For Sh*tty.

I think its like how guys share rooms and like the dude shares a room with his best friend and when he leaves he thinks he likes him and misses him a lot and walks around in his clothes and stuff. It's probably wrong but it makes sense because the title is gay is not a synonym for shitty. And he says it's strange that he loves him so he's kinda weirded out and stuff. And I think he's turning gay because it says trade baby blues (girls) for wide eyed browns (guys). But its probably wrong because Pete is married to Ashlee.

AGREED. This is EXACTLY what the song is about.

Hey even if he is married...I said once that he still thinks that it's not bad to kiss with men...the source of this is wikipedia..there is written that Pete admitted that he has kissed men but he never had sex with them..because he is not a penis fan

I used to think the title had nothing to do with the actual lyrics (which is common in fall out boy songs), but well, regardless of Pete's sexual preferences, I think the song's about Patrick (true blue anyone?)
not saying they're "omg in looove", but they're best friends and they do love each other, even if it's not in "that" way.

so basically, I think the song is about how Patrick is the only one who gets Pete, after all he's been turning Pete's nonsense into hit singles for quite a while ("I was born under a bad sign, you saved my life"). So maybe somewhere along the way Pete got confused and thought that maybe he's "supposed" to be in love with Patrick. like, they're soul mates except for the fact they're both not attracted to guys.

'i love everything that hurts' is said by clive owen, who plays 'Larry' in the movie 'closer', and the woman who he says it to says to him ' lying is the most fun a girl can have without taking her clothes off, but its better if you do' - the first thing larry says is in this song, and the bits that the girl says are name of panic at the disco's songs? i don't really know if there is a connection between the two, if you havent seen it you should watch it on this internet site called watch-movies or something. i'm sorry if this is confusing, i'm stupid loll (:

check out the film "closer"..with Jude Law and you will find that this song, has many quotes from the film.. along with the song "thxs fr the mmrs".

''I've loved everything about you that hurts so let me see your moves let me see your moves'. I think this is one of the most simple FOB songs. It's about someone who loves someone that's all wrong for him or causes him pain or something negative but he either likes it or doesn't care.

Lol I thought it just meant how everyone uses the word "gay" instead of shitty like this:
printer: hey paper, wanna go out for lunch later?
paper: nah sorry busy, got a lot of stuff to do
printer: oh that's gay, maybe another time

I think the song is about a relationship is about to end... That's wat 'Prince of any failing empire' means. When it says 'Everybody wants, to drive on through the night if it's a drive back home', i reckon its they want to get the big break up fight over and done with just so they can put it behind them.. 'Things aren't the same anymore, Some nights it gets so bad that you almost pick up the phone' He's alone and is trying to resist ringing his ex just to here her voice.. 'I sleep with your old shirts' He wants to stay close to her when she's gone. 'And walk through this house in your shoes' You know the saying "dont judge someone until you walk a mile in their shoes"? Well he's trying to see her point of view in everything.. 'It's a strange way of saying that I know I'm supposed to love you I'm supposed to love you' That they've been in a relationship for a long time n that maybe from what he's heard from other couples he should love her by now.. 'Photo-proofed kisses I remember so well' Maybe that there are so many pictures of them kissing but he knows its just an act put on for photo's because he's not in it 10O percent!! You no like wen someone wants to take a picture and your in a bad mood but you have to smile anyway!! This is just my take on it!! I could be very far off..but it doesnt matter what the true interpretation is..its only what you take from a song thats important!!

i think the title means that just because something or someone sounds bad or whatever, it doesnt mean its gay. okay, let me out it simpler, whenever i walk around with a fall out boy poster in my binder or im talking about them, someone will ALWAYS go, "ew they are so gay" or "they are faggots, their music sucks" i'll be like, just because you dont like their music, it doesnt mean they are gay or they are faggots, so quit gay and just say sh*tty! okay!?! sorry bout that

I think it's about a failed relationship, where he really loves her but it's hard for him to express his love in a way for her to understand. They broke up but he still loves her and sometimes he misses her so much that he almost calls her. He wears her old things because they remind him of her and he can't get over her. They're relationship hurt them both because she could never understand. The rest of the lyrics like the shadow on the wall are all things about how he doesn't want to let her go and he loves her still. The line about throwing caution to the wind with a lousy arm simply means he took a chance but he's very unlucky.
