It is totally impossible for me to pick my favorite song off Folie a Deux.
Disloyal Order of Water Buffalo starts out like church music (which they call Intro.After that, it gets intense. Or, intense for the pop music listeners. "Nobody wants to hear you sing about tragedy" is my new favorite line.
I Don't Care is exactly like the title. I love the message it conveys: the fact that nobody *cough cough the paparazzi* care about nothing but the stars. "I don't care what you think, As long as it's about me". Duh.
She's My Winona is all about life and death and how life is less diligent that death. "Life's just a pay stub on death Only less diligent" and "Then came a baby boy with long eyelashes Daddy said, "You gotta show the world the thunder!" The thunder, the thunder, the thunder" are the two best lines.
America's Suitehearts is stating how everyone is just in it for the glory, and not actually in it so they can do their best, but so they can just say how cool they are. (or at least I think.) "Down, set, one, hut, hut, hike Media blitz"
Headfirst Slide Into Cooperstown on a Bad Bet is saying 'does your husband actually know you or what he thinks is you? And did he fall in love with you for the illusion of you or you actually?' It also says that he's not going to be that guy. "Does your husband know the way that
the sunshine gleams from your wedding band?"
The (Shipped) Gold Standard is loverly. He's just saying how much he LOVESLOVESLOVES Ashlee. Even though we don't. But he's happy, so whatever. Other than that, it says "You can only blame your problems on the world for so long Before it all becomes the same song."
(Coffee's for Closers) is one of the best. It just basically says that change happens and not believing what the media tells you. "Oh change will come I will never believe in anything again" It's also got some awesome strings at the end. :)
What A Catch, Donnie is one of the most poetic songs on the entire album. It almost sounds like they're saying goodbye, but they aren't. He's saying how he can hurt someone's feelings by just giving up on them, like they can't be fixed. "I've got troubled thoughts and the self esteem to match" is an amazing line.
27 is hard to decipher, but is generally saying how love is unending. It's got amazing metaphors in it too. "You're a bottled star The planets align Just like Mars you shine in the sky you shine in the sky" is just one stanza. Go look up the lyrics or something to hear all the real metaphors.
Tiffany Blews is saying how boring normality is. "Oh, baby you're a classic
like a little black dress
you're a faded moon
stuck on a little hot mess (little hot mess)
and oh, baby your'e a classic
like a little black dress
but you'll be faded soon
stuck on a little hot mess (little hot mess)" is the chorus. One of the better songs.
w.a.m.s. wonders why you are so special and are more important than that other person.
"Hurry, hurry
You put my head in such a flurry, flurry
What makes you so special?
What makes you so special?
I'm gonna leave you
I'm gonna teach you
How we're all alone" is just the chorus.
Then it's got the Interlude attached. Weird.
20 Dollar Nose Bleed is awesome firstly because it's got Brendon Urie in it playing piano and singing and we all know what a fantastic singer Brendon is. Right? Anyway, its another song about drugs.
"Call me Mr. Benzedrine
But don't let the doctor in
I wanna blow off steam and "
Then Pete speaks. : "It's not me, it's you
Actually, it's the taxidermy of you and me
Untie the balloons from around my neck and ground me
I'm just a racehorse on the track
Send me back to the glue factory
Always thought I'd float away
And never come back
But I've got enough miles on my card
to fly the boys home on my own
But you know me: I like being all alone
And keeping you all alone
And the charts are boring
And the kids are snoring
And the eagles in a sling
You say you're not listening
And I said I'm wishing
And I said...I said"
West Coast Smoker is another song about drugs.
"I'm a nervous wreck
(Oh hell yes)
The drugs just make me reset "
My favorite line is "Knock once for the Father Twice for the Son Three times for the Holy Ghost"
And that's the album. A poetic masterpiece (with some songs about drugs, but every album has a song about drugs on it. It's a fact of life.) Anyway, I wish I could actually get into his head.
But they don't like it when people try to interpret their songs. So I didn't. :D I guessed. I didn't make any real answers, just questions.
