This is the ACTUAL interpretation...

God complex means when someone believes they are better than everyone else. They pretty much think they're God. And the loaded God complex means the person is at full force.

I'll be your number one with a bullet refers to pop charts, how on the Billboard 100 the number one spot doesn't get a bullet next to it but every other song does. This line pretty much means "I'll be your everything."

The "Am I more than you bargained for yet? I've been dying to tell you anything you want to hear cause that's just who I am this week" part refers to fans. How fans expect so much out of a band and expect them to be a certain way. Pete (the writer) is basically saying that he sometimes feels like he's forced into saying things that you want to hear.

The rest of the song is about a STRAIGHT relationship. Not a homosexual one. The 'watching you two in the closet' is meant to be taken as he's hiding in the closet watching the girl he loves and some guy wishing he could be him.

'Sugar, we're going down swinging' isn't meant to be sexual either. It's meant to be that he's fighting to the death for this girl.

It's about Pete being unsure of himself and the epidemic that is Fall Out Boy. "Am I more then you bargained for yet?" he doesn't know if hes good enough for his fans yet and he's asking you that.

I think this song is basically about a boy who is into a girl but she doesn't really take much notice, its like she knows he's into her but doesnt act upon it. She's fooling around with other guys and he wishes he was the one that was with her.

And for you who don't believe Martini Kiss on the Hard Rock Live, Pete said this is what boys do when they are at home thinking about you. He addressed that to the girls and Pete has said more than once it's about masturbation.

You understood it wrong, xOBreak..etc. He meant "this is what guys do when they think about you in bed" for when he licked his bass, not the song. It's an opening. And who says everything Pete says is TOTALLY SERIOUS?

Ok, there's like a million interpretations for this song, but I'll put my 2 cents in just because.

This song is the first one I had heard by Fall Out Boy when I first saw the video. It grew on me and I really got into it, so the Sugar We're Goin Down interpretation is coming easy for me. I'll do the whole song, why not?

"am I more than you bargained for yet?
i been dying to tell you
anything, you wanna hear
cause that's just who I am this week"
^
That, in my opinion, means that this guy would tell this girl anything she wants to hear just so she'll love him too, but that's just the way he's feeling at the moment.

"lie in the grass
next to the mausoleum
i'm just a notch in your bedpost
but you're just a line in a song"
^
He's sitting back and thinking about the situation next to a mausoleum, perhaps thinking about death and hurting. and for the "notch in your bedpost" part, it means that they had slept together and she wrote him off afterwards, but he wants her back. he wants it to seem as if she doesn't mean anything to him anymore, though she means the world.

"drop a heart, break a name
we're always sleeping in, and sleeping, for the wrong team
we're goin down, down in an earlier round
and sugar we're goin down swinging
i'll be your number one with a bullet
a loaded god complex cock it and pull it"

Peterpan switched the words around to mess with our pretty little minds, it should be "drop a name, break a heart" obviously. he's always with the wrong person, for the "we're always sleeping in, and sleeping, for the wrong team" part. he's diving off the wrong end and going down swinging (not literally of course, dur) and he knows it's wrong but he can't quit hurting himself this way. i'm not sure about the loaded god complex part, but the "cock it and pull it" part means to just shoot himself or her, because anyone who saw the video would know that when Patrick and Peter sang that part, the girl's father was about to shoot him.

"is this more than you bargained for yet?
oh, don't mind me
I'm watching you two from the closet
wishing to be the friction in your jeans
isn't it messed up?
how i'm just dying to be him
i'm just a notch in your bedpost
but you're just a line in a song
we're going down, down...
take aim at myself, take back what you said"(background)
^
This is where they're at the point to face up to a decision on what to do. and how he's secretly observing her relationship with another guy and how it's killing him inside. he wants to be her guy, but he can't. I explained the "notch in your bedpost" part earlier. and when he says "take aim at myself, take back what you said" he wants to kill himself over her and he wants her to take back what she said so that everything will return to normal. they're both in so far in the deep end that he can't let her go and clearly he doesn't want to. he loves her and it's killing him inside that she doesn't love him back and that she's with another guy.

Ok, that's my personal take on the whole song (which is my favorite band and song) so anyone crazy enough to read my entire review can email me (KTRocks05@yahoo.com) about your opinions and thoughts because the more I learn about fall out boy, the more I grow to respect and like the band. Thanks for your time people!

KATIE! at the disco...lol :D

The band have said themselves it's 'a loaded god complex.'

I forgot to mention this in my last post...
but when he says "we're going down down in an earlier round" this could ONLY mean that the protagonist is in a boxing match and he is losing sooner than he expected because it is only round one. I don't know where you guys got all those other bogus "ideas" from as to what this line could mean.


sorry kids...the truth hurts....

Alright, NONE of you guys know what you're talking about, and OBVIOUSLY none of you love fall out boy as much as you say you do because any TRUE fan would know EXACTLY what they're talking about and what they mean. So I guess because I'm the ONLY one who's a true fan, I'll tell you what it all means.

Whis guy is TOTALLY messing with you and wanting you to get confused... but seriously... when he sings "we're going down, down" what he REALLY is saying is:
"We're going UP UP MY NOSE!" I mean, SERIOUSLY! LOOK AT HIS NOSTRILS! THEY'RE THUMBSIZED! THIS GUY DEFINITELY HAS A PROBLEM W/ NOSE PICKING!

And then, this whole "loaded god complex, cock it and pull it" he is SUCH a chicken slayer! He cuts off their heads!!! Hence the word, COCK! Then once he realizes that those chickens aren't going "down, down" that easy, he pulls out their tailfeathers ( ....and pull it) it's all a metaphor of how he used to be an all time champion boxer whose name was "the Almighty" (ahem... god complex anyone?) but had a horrible match w/ a guy whose fighter name was "Chicken X"... and he lost in round one! hence "we're going down, down in an EARLIER ROUND!" he thought he was going to beat this guy, but then got his butt kicked, so in return, plagued his revenge on his enemies alias! (a chicken)!

Okay, all of you are WRONG about "drop a heart..." it is SO "TRABAJAR!" LISTEN TO IT! he's singing.. WORK! IN SPANISH!

And "we're always sleeping in, and sleeping for the wrong team" that's all about how he goes to bed too late and sleeps in all the time because he hasn't invested in a good alarm clock, AND he keeps rooting for the wrong team! (i.e. Chicken X) and when it comes to rooting for the right team, he's always sleeping! Again, no alarm clock!

"I'll be your number one with a bullet" is him trying to boost his ego about his horrible loss to Chicken X, so basically he's trying to talk smack, saying that the NEXT round, he'll be swinging so fast that his fists will be like bullets and he'll win! Number 1!

So honestly guys, I know that you think life is about love and jealousy and relationships and all greasy things like that, but seriously... It's not. It's about boxing! Simply put. ALL of it. life is just one big boxing match!

And that's the rest of the story...

Urm, this has been done to death, but I thought I'd voice my opinion anyway.
"Loaded god complex, cock it and pull it" - I kind of thought he was referring to how detrimental having a God complex can be. Thinking you're above everyone else, etc. For instance, if the general consensus of opinion is true, and it's about a guy wanting to be with someone he can't be with, because they're supposed to have a strictly 'no strings' sexually based relationship, then he could be thinking how his arrogance in this situation (thinking he could hack it when he cant) has led to his downfall, and him being in love with the girl.

Reading through, doesn't make sense really, but sending anyway...

xxxmisspiggyxxx must have been high when she wrote Her interpretation. There is nothing about a chicken in this song, and I don't know where she got that from.

The whole song is a metaphore and you can take it any way you want to. It could be about a girl or about how Pete feels about the band's success. Take it however you want. Plus Pete is insane (in a good way).

This song is definetly about masturbation. Having heard Pete Wentz himself say it twice, there's no need for more interpretation.

I think this is a song about a guy that realizes he's gay (i.e. always been sleeping for the wrong team) because of a fling in the grass by the mausoleum with another guy. The main character is in love/obsessed with the other guy (i.e. line in a song), however, the other guy thinks of the main character as just another meaningless fling (i.e. notch in the bedpost). Well, now it's gotten to the point where the main character tries to say anything to get into the other guy's pants but it doesn't work. When that doesn't work, he resorts to spying on the guy who happens to be getting it on with some other guy at a party or something. You can tell that the main character's love interest is a guy because women don't get "friction in their jeans,"...guys get "friction in their jeans".

I'm guessing that the voyeur was spotted in the closet (i.e. Is this more than you bargained for yet?) Well, due to the main character's god complex and the fact that the love interest wants nothing to do with him, the main character decides that if he can't have his true love, no one can. So he plans on blowing away his love interest and himself with a gun (Sugar, we're going down).

I think that the song is about a guy who is in love with this girl's boyfriend, because he says first off that he sleeps for the wrong team!

I think that this song is about a guy and girl who broke up. I think that he is still in love with her, via the masturbation. You guys are overlooking the line "a loaded god complex cock and pull it" This meaning that she has to live her life the way she wants to and when she feels like she is on top of the world go with it. So he basically realizing that if he loves her he will set her free... even if that means her dating someone else.

I agree with blnt_ with everything. I think this song is about a boy in love with a girl, but that girl has a boy friend and he's stalking her. Hence, the "I'm watching you two from the closet". The "we're always sleeping in and sleeping for the wrong team" means they are sleeping with the wrong people and should be with each other. As someone mentioned the "god complex" is the boy thinking he has the right to kill for what he wants.

Okay, first of all xxmisspiggyxx is a real loser. This song is about a guy and a girl. I really think whoever thinks that is it about gays they is incrediably wrong. I have nothing against gay people, but honestly, in the music video, do they have two gay people? I didn't think so.

It is about this guy (who is totally different from everybody else hence the antlers) and he loves this one girl who had (probably a one night stand), but she likes this other guy so he talks about how he wishes he can be him, or it can be interpreted by the pop charts.

Whoever thought it was about gays and chickens (what a loser) really didn't know what they are talking about and should go listen to some other band that they can at least understand the words!

LMAO. I think xxmisspiggyxx is awesome and that person is hilarious.

But I think it's about a boy and a girl that just use each other for sex. They don't mean anything to each other and they have their own love partners.
