Fall Out Boy - You're Crashing, But You're No Wave Song Meanings

About a guy going to court
and its like a story following it...
"Case open, case shut. but you can pay it close like a casket."

And eventually found guilty, guilty, guilty.

This song is obviously about people refusing to serve on a jury. Thus United States versus disbelief. And every one's looking for relief, relief from serving on a jury. He glances at his peers sitting seven to twelve stacked. Seven to twelve, on the to row.

who posted these lyrics?

anyways I thought it was about celebrities who get off on crimes because they can pay "pay to close it like a casket". I think it's about celebrities in general, but especially perhaps micheal jackson ("the cause the KID the charm and the curse")

This song has some connections to the book To Kill A Mockingbird.
The D.A. (dressed to the nines) practices his lines.
"To the closing arguement 12 hearts beat in favor" (Scout, Jem, Calpurnia, Zeebo, Dill, Mrs. Robinson, Link Deas, Mr. Cunningham, Heck Tate, Dolphus Raymond, Miss Maudie, and Reverend Sykes.)

The most important connections are:
"They find the defendent guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty."
And especially: "Unimpressed birds sing and die."

The lesson of the book is about the mockingbird. How it only sings sweetly but people harm it anyway.

I already liked this song to begin with. But I just had to finish reading To Kill A Mockingbird in school and I really got into this song. Love it. It's so sad! (Don't you dare backtalk me!)

I think the song is about the war in Iraq and how Bush should be prosecuted. basically its how the trial would play out it it ever happened sadly it won't =[.

The line a bidding war for an old flames grief is the reason we are fighting the war were in Iraq right now because the first president Bush had some unfinished business there...so now his son is out to finish it.

Probably refers to saddam husein as he hangs and it says "the the man hangs but the jury doesn't" like the jury won't be prosecuted for finding the ex-leader of the country or it might be I'm not sure...

It's about some court case about a guy who was convicted of murdering someone but quite a lot of America believed he was innocent. I can't remember the name of the guy but its on wikepedia.

It's actually about the trial of Fred Hampton, Jr.

Some sort of crime happened and there is this huge trial and like it had to have been some sort of murder or something because the song talks about to mothers in different aisle crying. The dead and the murderer. In the end all rings out Guilty!!
