:^) im back
i told u i have more to say ~
i have more songs to show you so strap in
i could walk this fine line between elation and success
we all know which way im going, strike the stake between my chest
a failure at everything- 18 going on extinct, i know my place is nowhere you should roam
fun fact: the little dog yapping at the very last second of this song is joe trohman’s old family dog, who apparently used to bite patrick’s ankles every time they would go over. (joe trohman=lead guitarist)
sometimes i wanna quit this all and become an account now. but im no good at math, and besides the dollar is down
^^i feel like you’ll relate to that lyric lmao
plant palm trees on lake michigan before it gets cold. i gotta feel that windchill again before i get old
the time my dad caught me a horseshoe crab, and i asked him if throwing it back into the sea will bring our luck back
^that lyric leads me DIRECTLY into my next song!
so i told my best friend haley that i was writing you that long ass letter about fall out boy, and she asked me if i had a favorite fall out boy music video. it took me a minute honestly, but i decided eventually on america’s suitehearts because i think the concept is So cool.
https://youtu.be/kzddyeXvbSE
you could’ve knocked me out with a feather
^i dont know why i find this lyric so romantic lol something’s wrong with me
down-set-one, hut-hut-hike, media blitz
time, time, time hasnt told anyone else yet. (yea, sorry, i just) let my love loose again
this brings in the whole “suitehearts universe” stuff that they. never ever did anything with which im PISSED about bc its so cool.
the characters are names/references that are seen throughout the entire folie á deux album.
so the characters are in the video but its-
•patrick stump: dr. benzedrine (his evil shadow is mr. benzedrine, who is referenced in 20 dollar nosebleed)
•pete wentz: mr. sandman (referenced in headfirst slide into cooperstown on a bad bet)
•joe trohman: h. shoe crab, the luckiest man alive (referenced in the (shipped) gold standard)
•andy hurley: donnie the world’s greatest catcher (referenced in what a catch, donnie)
i actually did pete’s sandman face makeup for halloween in college. yes i have a picture No i will not be showing you. i might end up doing it again for halloween this year now that im a little bit better at makeup ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ive been going back and forth between him and the good doctor (<- thats what pete called dr benzedrine lmfao so thats what i call him) but i feel like sandman is easier since i. pretty much already dress like that LOL.
someday i’ll appreciate in value, get off my ass and call you. in the meantime i’ll sport my brand new fashion of waking up with pants off at 4 in the afternoon
^ relatable.
i have 2 facts about this song- on the way to shoot the music video for this song they got in a van accident (black ice 😖😖😖😖 so scary), which they actually use a picture of for the black clouds and underdogs version of from under the cork tree [the black clouds and underdogs version is the name of the deluxe edition- they released it when they were on the black clouds and underdogs tour. [on streaming services its just called the limited tour edition]
the second fun fact is that when they used to perform this live pete would say “please stand for your national anthem” and everyone would do a like. hand thing. hold on lemme find a screenshot, i would do it myself but my dumb broken finger is still ugly looking.
this is the best i got LMAO its supposed to be a keyhole. like from the song XO:
to the “love”, i left my conscience pressed, thru the keyhole as i watched you dress- kiss and tell. “loose lips sink ships”
ok anyways LMFAO
this city says “come, hell or high water”, when im feeling hot and wet
i can’t commit to a thing, be it heart or hospital
and i cast a spell over the west to make you think of me the same way i think of you. this is a love song in my own way- happily ever after below the waist
this song is about mikey way, the bassist of my chemical romance. no i will not elaborate, NOR do you want me to, thats a WHOLLEEEEEEEEE ‘nother ball game. its a long, LOOOOOOONG story.
i’m boring, but overcompensate with headlines and flash-flash-flash photography
^during that part in concert u do a little flashing motion with ur hands its from the mv its Very fun
wouldn’t you rather be a widow, or a divorcee? style your wake for fashion magazines
people will dissect us ‘til this doesn’t mean a thing anymore
we do it in the dark with smiles on our faces. we’re trapped and well concealed in secret places
this song just has personal sentimental meaning to me- the very first time i saw fall out boy i was at the barricade (literally so insane. it was the oncenter war memorial arena in syracuse ny, which is an ice rink, so i was FREEZING my ASS off before the show started but it was still so amazing. still the best day of my life), and the literal first .2 milliseconds of this song started and i went ABSOLUTELY APESHIT BANANAS, and patrick saw me and laughed at me going ham. im pretty sure i was the first person to recognize what song it was. i was Very excited lol.
also pete’s old dog hemingway stars in this music video :^)
me and you, setting: in a honeymoon (if i woke up next to you)
out of the woods, but i love a tree we used to lay beneath, kissed tear-stained red from a sour bottle baby girl with eyes the size of baby worlds
^this lyric is so dreamy to me
the best way to make it through with hearts and wrists in tact is to realize 2 out of 3 ain’t bad
this music video was shot in uganda. they shot the mv on lower quality cameras, and donated the rest of the budget they would have used on the mv to the invisible children project. its a beautiful music video, if you ever get the chance to watch it.
https://youtu.be/FAgbZdrWiN4
side note it took me a VERY long time to realize what the title of this song means. 😏😏
pete and i attack the lost astoria with promise and precision, and a mess of youthful innocence- and i read about the afterlife, but i never really lived more than an hour
two more weeks, my foot is in the door. me and pete in the wake of saturday
^i just wanted to use this song to tell you a fun fact- the use of “pete” in these lyrics was actually just filler, and pete was gonna change it later to something else that rhymed but he ended up actually liking it like that, so they kept it.
they end every concert with saturday :’) its super cool and fun and stuff and yea LOL i just wanted to tell u that cuz i think its interesting
mr. sandman showing his beam, when he walks into the room the walls lean in to listen
^literally just showing this song as an excuse to talk about this lyric because my GOD, its my absolute FAVORITE. its so good, i love the imagery of it.
surfed-out brain waves click back and forth like old headlights sniffing model glue again
tempest in a teacup- get unique. a peroxide princess shine like shark teeth
i know i mentioned this before but this song is just too good. its TEW good.
this is the story of how they met- her picture was on the back of a pack of cigarettes-and when she touched him, he turned ruby red. a story that they’ll never forget
you know i only wanted fun then you got me all f*cked up on love
i hoped for your name on the ouija board, and your naked magic, oh dear lord. you and me are the difference between real love and the love on tv
all the boys were smoking menthols, girls were getting back rubs. i will drift to you if you make yourself shake fast enough
we were the kids who screamed “we weren’t the same” in sweaty rooms, now we’re doomed to organizing walk-in closets like tombs. silent film stars stuck in talking cinema life, so lets fade away together one dream at a time
this song went viral on tiktok, i hope that means they’ll start playing it live again bc i missed my chance the first time 💫💫
my insides are copper- i’d kill to make them gold
i’ve seen sinking ships go down with more grace than you
turn this up, i’ll tune you out. another night alone in the city- fake it like you matter, thats a lie we can both keep
i just like the lyrics of this song, i dont know why. i used to write “my insides are copper i’d kill to make them gold” ALLLLLLLLL OVER my notebooks in school. true emo kid right here.
i should also say Clearly old fall out boy lyrics were toxic, it was a different time yadda yadda whatever. i like male manipulator music, sue me. i also listen to real friends and neck deep and stuff so. that shows my taste in music HAHAHAHA
SPEAKING of toxic lyrics
light that smoke, yea one for giving up on me- and one just cuz they’ll kill you sooner than my expectations
i could have died with you
let’s play this game called “when you catch fire, i wouldn’t piss to put you out”. stop burning bridges and drive off of them, so i can forget about you
… they were young it was 2003 LOL THATS MY DEFENSE. i used that lyric a LOT as vague statuses when i would argue with people 🥲 teenage angst lol
breaking hearts has never looked so cool as when you wrapped your car around that tree, your makeup looks so great next to his teeth
i ate that UPPPPP as an angry 13 year old
brothers and sisters put this record down. take my advice ‘cuz we are bad news
its just past 8 and im feeling young and restless. the ribbon on my wrist says “do not open before christmas”
brothers and sisters, yea put these words down into your notebook [spit lines like these]
we’re friends when your on your knees, make them dance like we were shooting your feet
so the title is a true story. the originally were going to call this song “i’m david ruffin and these are the temptations” but due to (american ? idk if this is global) copywrite laws you cant reference an artist in a title without directly talking about them in the song. thats why they can get away with “uma thurman” because shes referenced in the lyrics (“she wants to dance like uma thurman, bury me ‘til i confess”). so they had to change it and this is what they chose 🥲
you are a brick tied to me thats dragging me down. strike a match and i’ll burn you to the ground.
put on your war paint
crosswalks and crossed hearts and “hope-to-die”s, silver clouds with grey lining
time crawls on while you’re waiting for the song to start, so dance alone to the beat of your heart
hey youngblood, doesn’t it feel like our time is running out?
wearing our vintage misery, no, i think it looked a little better on me
bring home the boys in scraps, scrap metal the tanks. get hitched, make a career out of robbing banks. because the world is just a teller and we are wearing black masks- “you broke our spirit” says the note we passed
the war is won before its begun, release the doves, surrender love
“wave the white flag, wave the white flag”
sorry. thats a lot of quotes. i just love the lyrics of this song. its so good LOL
i got a pocketfull of deadliness, opium denmother forget my head. at the deadend called unsteadiness- boxed blondes have less fun
boomerang my head, back to the city i grew up in. again and again, forever a lake effect kid
i just wanna come back to life, spark my crazy head to keep you warm at night
*cracks knuckles* ALRIGHT, SO
the demo of this song originally appreared on the welcome to the new administration mixtape that was used to promote the release of folie á deux. folie was ORIGINALLY meant to drop on election day (whatever that day is im sorry im a fake american i just know its in november), but they pushed it back a month bc they felt it was more important to focus on the election [EXTRA FUN FACT: fall out boy performed at president obama’s inagural ball AND president obama likes shinee. that last part is unrelated i just think its really funny]. thats why its called “welcome to the new administration”.
the name “lake effect kid” comes from lake effect snow, which chicago gets a lot of ((fall out boy are from chicago and they will make DAMN SURE YOU KNOW THAT)) ((((does vancouver get lake effect snow?? plz respond)))). syracuse ALSO gets an UNGODLY amount of lake effect snow. and normal snow. and hail and sleet and black ice. extra unrelated fun fact- syracuse new york gets the award for snowiest city in the US almost every year. we get BEATTTTTTTT bro we get ANNIHILATED with snow.
“lake effect kid” is also one of the many fan names fall out boy has had over the years. others include:
-overcast kids
-car crash hearts
-believers
-youngbloods
-“”””the kids”””” (thank you pete)
i personally claim “overcast kid” as the fandom name but every fob fan will call themselves something different
I SAW THIS SONG LIVE I SAW IT WITH MY VERY OWN TWO HUMAN EYEBALLS IN 2018 I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD EVER GET TO SEE LAKE EFFECT KID AND I DID AND NOW I CAN DIE CONTENT
i’m ‘bout to go tonya harding on the whole world’s knee
^this is the single most BRUTAL lyric ever written. when i first heard it my face was legit like
are you smelling that shit? are you smelling that shit- eau du résistance
i testify if i die in my sleep then know that my life was just a killer dream
do not ask me what that title means. i dont know. something is wrong with pete.
WELL “stay frosty” is a term used in the military that means like. stay vigilant or stay aware. royal milk tea is. yea LMFAO IDK MAN
ALSO ALSO omg, okay so here comes my other weird niche special interest. so i LOVE animatronics, like i LOOOOOOVE them i think they are so so cool and fun to look at and i am just fascinated by them. so there was this pizza chain restaurant called showbiz pizza (think of it as the precursor to chuck e cheese, chuck e cheese bought them out), and they had their own animatronic band- the rockafire explosion band
SO some dude bought this entire band and refurbed them and programs them performing different songs. WELL he did a show program of them performing stay frosty and they played it behind them during the concert in 2018 AND IT WAS THE SINGLE BEST MOMENT OF MY ENTIRE LIFE TO DATE. it was so cool i was so happy. i was the only person who was excited about this HHAAHAHAH
take the pain, make it billboard big and swallow it for me
^ i know ive said like 8 times that so-and-so is my favorite lyric but THIS???? CHEF’S KISS 🤌🤌🤌🤌 SO good
time capsule for the future, trust me, thats what i will be
oh, the things that you do in the name of what you love. you are doomed, but just enough
i love the world, but i just dont love the way it makes me feel, got a few more fake friends and its gettin hard to tell whats real
and if death is the last appointment, then we’re all just sittin in the waiting room ((mr stump?))
^that voice that says “mr. stump” is their producer, butch walker
i am just a human trying to avoid my certain doom
they posted the preview snippets for this album on itunes like maybe a week before the album officially dropped and i had this 15 second preview on CONSTANT repeat. ALSO THE TIME SIGNATURE CHANGE IN THE BEGINNING???? UGH, ART. ITS JUST. ART.
if you were church, i’d get on my knees
waggles my eyebrows 😏😏😏😏
there’s nothing more cruel than to be loved by everybody but you
if i could get my shit togther, i’m gonna run away and never see any of you again
i hope the roof flies off and we get blown up into space, i always make such expensive mistakes. i know its just a number but you’re my eighth wonder. i’ll stop wearing black when they make a darker colour.
(so the lyric is “*the* eighth wonder” but patrick always sings “my eighth wonder” live so thats what i always sing LOL)
woke up on the wrong side of paradise
if we hadnt done this thing, i think i’d be a medicine man and get high on my own supply whenever i can
i cried my eyes out when i saw this live in 2017. i literally dont even know why. this song doesnt hold and significant sentimental value to me, i was just too excited to hear new music from them.
also HEY WILSON LOL ISNT THAT COOL
i’ve cried tears you’ll never see, so f*ck you, you can go cry me an ocean and leave me be
^that is so cathartic to scream live.
you are what you love, not who loves you. in a world full of the word “yes”, im here to scream “no”. wherever i go, trouble seems to follow. i only plugged in to save rock and roll
how’d it get to be only me? like im the last damn kid still kickin? that still believes?
i will defend the faith goin down swingin, i will save the songs that we cant stop singing
oh no, we won’t go, cuz we dont know when to quit
i think ive showed you this song before actually. very beautiful, especially live. patrick does an impression of elton john during his parts live LOL ITS REALLY GOOD TBH ITS A GOOD IMPRESSION
i’ve got troubled thought and the self esteem to match- what a catch
they say “the captain goes down with the ship”, so when the world ends, will god go down with it?
so i saved this for last for a reason.
pete wentz wrote what a catch donnie as a promise to patrick to stick around for the long run, and to not try and. do anything dumb. again. in the music video its just patrick alone for the majority of it on a ship, and then he eventually finds the rest of their band and their friends and they’re celabrating after patrick had saved them, and at the end we see a sinking ship in the distance and a figure standing on top waving as it sinks. pete is the only member not present so we assume its him whos going down with the ship. basically sacrificing himself in a way.
this is my brother and i’s song. we’re gonna get matching tattoos that say “what a catch” over our hearts in each other’s handwriting. basically promising each other to stick around and be together forever. im VERY close with my older brother, he’s only 15 months older than me so we were always in the same school growing up. all our lives we only had each other, and we intend on keeping it that way. he’s truly the one person in this world that i am the closest to. through all of the moves, our father leaving, all of the heartache and heartbreak we’ve always had each other and i know that i would do absolutely anything for him, and he would do the same in a heartbeat. i wont die for him but i Will live for him.
anyways. emo time over LOL
thats all i got for now. i promise im done bugging you about fall out boy- im sure u straight do NAWT care at all but its something im very passionate about and i like sharing stuff with you.
talk soon ~
