They were dating but they're just friends not. Yeah he said he's single but why does it matter?

anonymous June 9th, 2007 02:46AM  

Um, we're not here to talk about if Pete is getting married.

DiSeNcHaNtEd_DrEaMeR June 10th, 2007 01:39PM  

This was meant to be an interpretation of the song but it turned out to be a short discussion on whether Pete is single or not!! typical!

The part towards the end where they start shouting is really weird, but I love it. And the lines where they say they're so miserable and cunning and stunning or whatever. Also, the part about throwing stones at a glass moon. They are all so beatiful.

anonymous June 26th, 2007 06:10PM  

The part at the end when pete speaks his mind
he is saying

:It was ice cream headaches and sweet avalanche
When the pearls in our shells got up to dance
You call me a bad tipper of the cradle
But I'm just tired yawns for fawns on hunter's lawns
We're the has-beens of husbands
Sharpening the knives of young wives
Take two years and call me when you're better
Take tears of mine, find yourself wetter...

and what that's is supposed to mean is
:yea I'm no good atleast I addmit it, and no matter how bad I am you will always be worse

I guess I should submit a real interpretation, so here it is: I think this song talks about lies. To me "we're throwing stones at a glass moon" says they are trying to stop the lies. And "we bullet the words at the mockingbird's singing" says the lies are destroying the innocent

anonymous August 18th, 2007 02:55AM  

I do think that this song is about lies, but I don't think that "We bullet the words at the mockingbirds, singing" has to with lies destroying the innocent. That doesn't make sense, since "We" refers to Fall Out Boy. It means that Fall Out Boy exposes the lies that naive people are easily convinced into believing. And this song doesn't have anything to do with Pete's girlfriend, by the way. It is more about the band, as a whole, and the message they try to convey through their music.

"We Take sour sips from life's lush lips

And we shake, shake, shake the hips in relationships"

Means that they enjoy their lives

"Stomp out this disaster town

You put your eyes to the sun and say 'I know you're only

blinding to keep back what the clouds are hiding'

And we might have started singing just a little soon

We're throwing stones at a glass room"

Means that they might have conveyed their message too soon

for some people, and that they try to expose lies.

"Woah, We're so miserable and stunning

Woah, Love songs from the genuinely cunning"

Means that Pete Wentz is an egomaniac.

And its 3 a.m. and I don't feel like writing anymore.

anonymous August 31st, 2007 11:59AM  

Duuude, I love this song, but y'all shouldn't take up space conversing... just sayin'. >.>;; Anyway, I guess to me it's like they're tired of rumors and lies and want people to realize things... I dunno. I'm not good at this stuff. xD

anonymous September 30th, 2007 01:23AM  

This song is about how they think life sucks because when ever there is love they find love hurts like in the disturbing music video

and by the way pete's dateing ashlee simpson!!

anonymous November 10th, 2007 10:44AM  

It's

"woah it's a MISERABLE STORY

woah FAR FROM THE GENUINE BECOMING"

damn those wrong fob lyrics..

anonymous December 24th, 2007 01:24AM  

First off, enough with the Pete wentz dating thing. It's his buisness and this forum is not exactly "ilovepetewentz4evr.com" okay?We have priorities, like informing those who seek Lyric Interpretations... Anyway, the song has many motifs and contrasting images of things that are "lovely" and things that are not. The song also describes how desensitized people are by throwing in, "yawning at [dead] fawns on lawns". But all this comes down to a song that's mostly about Love and how hard relationships are. If you look at the lyrics it makes sense. at least, that's one way to look at it, but then again, there is no wrong or right interpretation is there?I agree with the "Anonymous"(that actally wrote something related to the song) and his/her interpretation as well.So yeah, that's my 2 cents. Keep giving this song more...

anonymous January 5th, 2008 11:18PM  

Actually in the beginning when he sings "we're throwing stones in a glass room,"
he is saying that whatever he's doing, it's bound not to work out. It's like a plan waiting to fail.

tradebabybluesx January 9th, 2008 03:47PM  

We take sour sips from life's lush lips
And we shake, shake, shake the hips
In relationships

[they live life to the fullest. pretty self explanatory]

Stomp out this disaster town
You'll put your eyes to the sun and say,
"I know you're only blinding to keep back
What the clouds are hiding."
[this could be either that their fame is distracting fans from other issues or something like that, or about people acting fake]

And we might've started singing just a little soon
We're throwing stones in at a glass moon.
[they got famous really quick, and now that they are where they are, they can take risks(throwing stones at a glass moon)]


Slept through the weekend and dreamed
Of sinking with the melody of the cliffs of eternity
Got postcards from my former self saying:
"How've you been?"
[ saying that the person he used to be would hate the person he has become]

For those of you who didn't know the carpal tunnel is actually the larger veins in your wrists.

anonymous June 22nd, 2008 05:08AM  

What I got from this is yes, it is a song about lies and how love sucks basically.

When they say "You'll out your eyes to the sun and say I know your only blinding to keep back what the clouds are hiding" they are saying that they (meaning either Pete since he writes the songs, or Fall Out Boy) are using their music as a distraction because they are hiding something.

"We keep the beat with our blistered feet" means that they keep on telling their lies even if it hurts. I agree with whoever said "We bullet the words at the mockingbirds singing" means their lies hurt the innocent or get people involved that didn't have to be.

Oh and last obviously it should be "robbing banks and kissing lips" not "robbing lips and kissing banks". Petey loves to mess with out heads :-)

Well that's all I am capable or figuring out at five in the morning. 'Night.
-A

anonymous September 21st, 2008 12:56PM  

It's "throwing stones in a glass room". Not "throwing stones at a glass moon". Listen to it, you can hear what I mean.

anonymous September 21st, 2008 10:02PM  

We take sour sips from life's lush lips
(We're living life, but we aren't enjoying it)


Stomp out this disaster town
(They are getting tired of this world)

You'll put your eyes to the sun and say, "I know
you're only blinding to keep back what the clouds are hiding."
(Life seems to be concealing its purpose)

And we might've started singing just a little soon
We're throwing stones in a glass room
(They should be pointing this all out, because they make a living by having all these fans who look to them for meaning)

Whoa oh, we're so miserable and stunning
(They look good, but they aren't happy)


Got postcards from my former selves saying: "How've you been?"
(They've changed since they became famous)

We might've said goodbyes just a little soon
Robbing lips, kissing banks under this moon
(They are using girl and obsessing over money)

Veinless November 23rd, 2008 06:20AM  

Are you all stupid

i think it's about how emos make things bad and look worse

We take sour sips from life's lush lips
-it feels bad but we do it

And we shake shake shake the hips
In relationships
-We do everything for love

Stomp out this disaster town
-dont do it

You'll put your eyes to the sun and say "I know."
-finaly feel good

You're only blinding to keep back what the clouds are hiding
-its there even if you don't see it

And we might have started singing just a little soon
-dont know that line

We're throwing stones at a glass moon
-We break the things we need

We're so miserable and stunning
-were so bad

songs for the genuinely cunning
-dont know

We keep the beat,
With your blistered feet,
-We hide the pain behind musik

We bullet the words at the mockingbirds, singing
-We hate the nice sounds like a bird singing

Slept through the weekend
-just trying to get it other with

And dreaming , of sinking with the melody of the cliffs of eternity
-we wanna die so they don't forget us

Got postcards from my former selves saying; "How've you been?"
-were all alone

We might have said goobye just a little soon
-were already dead

(stomp out this disaster town) whoa whoa whoa!
-just go out of all this

Robbing lips, kissing banks under this moon
-No idea

(oh-wooh-oh)We're so miserable and stunning
-were so bad
(oh-wooh-oh)songs for the genuinely cunning
-dont know
(oh-wooh-oh)We're so miserable and stunning
-were so bad
(oh-wooh-oh)far from the genuinely cunning
-dont know

It was ice cream headaches and sweet avalanche
-the feeling that's so soft but cold and hurts
When the pearls in our shells came out to dance
-when our inside broke out

You call me a bad tipper of the cradle
-no idea

But I’m tired yawns for fawns on hunter’s lawns
We’re the has-beens of husbands
-nope

Sharpening the knives of young wives
-makeing them agressiv

Take two years and call me when you're better
-take you're time I'm here

Take tears of mine, find yourself wetter
-its not you that had the bad live

We're so miserable and stunning
love songs for the genuinely cunning
We're so miserable and stunning
love songs for the genuinely cunning
-already had that



thats just guesing but it does make since to me that its kind of about emos
im not sure
but I know this are deeper lines as stupid as they may sound

Veinless November 23rd, 2008 06:36AM  

Forget what I said
the lines arent to anbigious (is that the right word?)
you could interpret them as

i could interpret the whole song as

onece how we make live look bad
then that we all should kill ourselves
how stupid we are
That love makes ous blind

i mean first line

we take sour sips from live slush lip

It could mean
we pick the bad ones
we do it even if it hurts
even how god it seems in the end its bad (sour


then

take my tears
and you will feel yourself wetter

I feel worse than you
We all feel bad
Its just water
start to see tha pain of other


i think they meant to make so nobody can really tell the meaning but don't just say they don't make any sense

Just on the title, the carpel tunnel is a part of the arm that connects the palm of the hand and the arm. It is associated with Carpel Tunnel Syndrone which is when you overuse the carpel tunnel from repeating an action a number of times, such as typing, using a mouse or writing.
