Camisado Lyrics

The I.V. and your hospital bed
This was no accident
This was a therapeutic chain of events

This is the scent of dead skin on a linoleum floor
This is the scent of quarantine wings in a hospital
It's not so pleasant
And it's not so...

    This song's about Ryan Ross' alcoholic father.

    I think most of the song is pretty self-explanatory but I'd a theory, it'd be cool if others would lemme know what they think!

    You're a regular decorated emergency
    Regular emergency= Ryan's dad's always in and out of the hospital, quite obvious

    But decorated confused me a bit then I thought could this mean that Ryan's dad fell around a lot when he he was drunk, meaning he was decorated, i.e., cut and bloody!

    It's about Ryan's dad's alcoholism and Ryan's abuse.

    "Can't take the kid from the fight, take the fight from the kid"

    Get it?

    The part where he says "The anesthetic never set in and I'm wondering where the apathy and urgency is that I thought I phoned in" because I mean if your doing an opperation you used anesthetic but if it didn't set in then well he probably would die. The reason I think is interesting is because one of the guitarists in the band, Ryan, who wrote this song, his dad died a little bit after it came out. So its like this little line almost predicted his death. without trying.
    I know it's about his dads alcholism but I don't think his dad abused him. Though the part where it says "The bruises and contusions will remind me what you did when you wake" makes it sound like he was abusing him. But that's just my thought. I think its an exageration.

    My original interpretation was like the 6th link at first cause the songs do tell a story
    but also I didn't know about his dad so I'm now siding with that
    but this song may just have a double meaning keeping with that pattern of the relationship
    but the
    "This was no accident
    This was a therapeutic chain of events" doesn't really fit with the relationship story cause it's referring to the chain of comfort and the repercussions that were Inevitable (addictions and becoming ill)

    Fight club.

    The camera caught you causing a commotion on the gurney again - that's when brad pitt aka tyler durden was beating edward norton's unnamed narrator character. The camera was shooting the narrator, because tyler is only his imagination.

    can't take the kid from the fight, take the fight from the kid - self explanatory. Tyler said "how much can you know about yourself if you've never been in a fight?"

    just guessing.

    Go read Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk and you'll have "interpreted" this song.

    Okay the song camisado is about cutting, which I personally heard from ryan."the iv and your hospital bed this was no accident, this was a theraputic chain of event." "it's not so pleasant and its not so conventional it sure ain't normal,but we deal." "your a regular decorated emegency"(the cuts) It's so obvious. It's about howing ending up in the ICU comes from a chain of cutting. "you can't take the kid out of the fight,take the fight out of the kid." You can't make someone stop cutting."just sit back relapse again" It's an addiction.
    IT SURE AS HELL AIN"T NORMAL, BUT WE DEAL, WE DEAL

    The song is about Ryan's dad but also the person who said this:

    Well, before I read this I had some idea of what it was about, but now I'm just confused.

    My initial thought was that it was the sixth part of the Panic! story. ['But its better if you do' is the stag party, "I write sins..." is the wedding where he finds out his fiance is cheating, "Lying is as much fun..." is where he's thinking about the affair, "There's a good reason these..." is where he goes to a party and is getting a lot of attention and his ex-partner is not, and then in time to dance his ex-partner tries to kill herself] So I thought that Camisado is where she is in hopstital {:S}

    is right. 6 of the Panic! songs tell a story if you listen carefully

    The song is about being gay, cause they're all gay!

    "It's not so pleasant
    And it's not so conventional
    It sure as hell ain't normal
    But we deal, we deal"
    Clearly gay!
    The also sing, that they can't have kids!!

    the song is an intense portrayal of a child having to take on the responsibility of caring for a parent that knows better but is still unable to help themselves or their family. It seems as if the song is a way of expressing the huge pressures ryan's dad put him under and how he was the one left to clean up the mess and how he always kept going even though it was hard and not a lot of people would be able to even start to comprehend how that would feel-"it sure as hell aint normal, but we deal, we deal."
    "can't the kid from the fight, can't take the fight from the kid" refers to how he would always do it and never collapse under the weight, even though many people probably told him it wasn't his responsibility and to just walk away, he knew that walking away wasn't even an option. It's a sad song that really makes the listener feel for him, but a story of how even though ryan resented his dad's alcoholism, as the language of this song clearly portrays, and even though it was hard- he still loved him and was still there to pick up the pieces even though he should never have been put in that position.

    panic! said that this song was about ryan's dad, as is "nails for breakfast, tacks for snacks". and "time to dance" is based on the book "invisible monsters" by chuck palahniuk, which, if you read, has many MANY things that "time to dance" alludes to.

    Cant take the kid from the fight
    take the fight from the kid

    i think that that means, at least in this position, that you can't take ryans dad from the alcohol, so you have to take the alcohol away from ryans dad.

    You're a regular decorated emergency

    i think that means, his dad is always going to be a emergency, no matter what.

    The bruises and contusions will remind me what you did when you wake
    -to me it sounds like when ryans dad was drunk, that he might have hit ryan a few times. Or something like that.

    You've earned a place atop the icu's hall of fame
    his dad has been in the icu so many times, that he has earned his own little place there.

    I think that this song is about ryans dad, going through the hospital and everything. How it wasn't normal that ryan had to go through something like that. He also describes the hospital and how he wishes things would just hurry up and get better.

    I think this song's about a kid that continually gets into fights. My point is backed by the "can't take the kid from the fight take the fight from the kid" part of the song.

    anyway, just an idea.
