At The Disco hmh the meaning? | Reviewer: annonymusssss | 10/23/09 PLEASE READ IF YOU WANT TO KNOW! Ok people, the motel is run down because its the kind of place that condones prostitution but that night is different because the girl is not a prostitute but a good little catholic virgin who is forced to screw her boss (the attorney) because she needs the job at his firm. She needs the job because she desperately needs the money from the job, not prostitution. The lawyers wife has no idea or is blinded by his money that her husband is forcing his employees to have sex with him. He just tells her its "strictly business". After the deed is done the lawyer leaves and she is cleaning herself up when police raid the room, breaking down the door("there was a terrible crash"). She drops her things in shock but she holds a different "purse"(a baby in her womb). "What a wonderful caricature of intimacy" talking about the the conditions of how this poor baby was concieved. Thank you people I rock! only natural | Reviewer: aznriku | 10/19/09 It's only natural we discuss the lyrics because it's written unlike some other songs with simple interpretation and a few meanings. simple is good sometimes...but in this case the poetry skills involved in writing this songs + the musical skills really makes this song as unique as it should be. Oh Ryan. We miss you already. <3 And Brendon hun no one can beat your quick paced singing styles~ Easy Review, lol | Reviewer: Kasey x | 10/3/09 I think it's pretty obvious if you just look at it without reading to much into it. First section is just explaining about the motel and how it's a seedy place, the sort of places you'd find prostitution, etc. The chorus is just what has been said before, a sarcastic rendition of sex these days. The third is explaining the little 'triangle' between the lawyer (attorney), his wife and the girl(virgin). I think the virgin is maybe a prostitute who's being blackmailed by the constable and she's sleeping with the lawyer so the copper can get him done for sleeping with someone who was soliciting or whatever. I reckon that he's blackmailing her with something he found in her purse in the past, and that is the reference to the thing in her purse. When it says "The Mrs. will stay wisay to the cheating attorney moonlighting aside, she really needs his money." it's just saying how the wife knows that her husband is cheating, "The Mrs. will stay wisay to the cheating attorney" meaning that she's wise to the fact, and "moonlighting aside, she really needs his money" is just saying that she's only staying with him because he's an attorney and he earns major cash. The second one is about the constable (police officer) who has made a 'proposition' to the girl. I reckon he's got something on her, as I mentioned earlier, and he's blackmailing her and he's telling his wife about what he's doing to the lawyer and the 'terrible crash' is about the future confrontation between the police dude an the lawyer. When he probably bursts in on the two of them and arrests the lawyer for whatever charges he'd later come up with. After this is just the chorus again and then it's "There are no raindrops on roses and girls in white dresses. It's sleeping with the roaches and taking best guesses , so shed off the sheets and before all the stains and a few more of your least favourite things." The raindrops and roses refer to blood, as you bleed when you loose your virginity and the girls in white dresses symbolise a 'pure' virgin, and by saying that here are none of these virgins (in the song), sleeping with roaches is a substitute for sleeping with dirty men, and taking best guesses is who the prostitutes will accept an offer to sleep with them off of and sort of hoping for the best. Shed off the sheets before all the shades is get rid of the sheets and get rid of any evidence, and the second version of that verse in the last bit says at the shade of the sheets, showing that she maybe is revolted by what she is doing and recoils from it. The last line in the song says "and a few more of your least favourite things" shows that the girl really doesn't like doing what she does and in reference to starting the job on Monday, maybe that is the last time she'll have to do it, or maybe that line means about the lawyers wife getting the job and being able to leave her husband, I’m not really sure which. This line also quotes the sound of music, obviously a happy, and everything’s perfect kind of film; only by adding the word least they've changed the line into something darker, which confirms that this is quite a sinister song. The fixing of her face in a compact is just a metaphor for putting a face on, or changing who you are to suit other people and explaining that whatever happens to the girl can all be 'fixed' just by reverting back to how you were before, therefore putting her makeup back on, or by covering your problems, which is exactly what she is doing, just covering everything up. This was supposed to be a brief explanation but I really got into it, if anyone actually bothers to read this it is just my interpretation of it and is not necessarily right. It could be right or maybe it is just a song and people are reading into the lyrics way too much... Lol, x Finally | Reviewer: Mark | 9/20/09 I have looked at this thread a few times, and I agree with Sam 100% it is a sarcastic commentary/critique of the modern understanding of sex in my opinion. The virgin is using sex as a tool to get to the top, the wife only stays with her husband for money and none of it has to do with love. Thanks for the wise comment Sam. The Real Meaning Of The Song | Reviewer: Sam | 9/5/09 All these reviews are ridiculous. You guys are reading waaaay too much into this song. While it tells a story of a cheating lawyer, his wife, and the girl who he cheats with, it's really all about the moral of the story. The phrase "what a wonderful caricature of intimacy" is repeated throughout the song. Its a phrase of sarcasm, meaning that sex nowadays is just sex and nothing more. Panic is trying to send out a message to you guys, and a good one if i may add, that you shouldn't be fucking someone for just the fun of it. After all, it's called "making love" isn't it? ;) Hmmm.. | Reviewer: Kt | 8/2/09 Animerox111 Seemed to be wise on a few things. But it was saying that the wife knows, shes only staying with him because he makes the money. And then, about the whole police thing, the guy set her up. The constable wanted to nail her for something, and the lawyer helped him out. The "terrible crash" is not literal, it means there was a confrontation. Probably drugs. Not prostitution...(LOL carrying condoms in no way proves you're a hooker...HAHA) stop explainin | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/14/09 ok i rele dont care whats this songs about i just rele like it sooo all u ppl who r explainin it i mean it helps but u dont need to explain anymore uless u thought of the song as wayyyy different tht other ppl thought of it as.......cause seriously there r a lot of explanitions and im gettin confuzzled!!!! so not tooo b rude but dont explain it anymore please! cause i rele dont care whats it about its just mi all time favorite songggg! and im smart in schhol but not smart in this stuff if u explain it use words a not so smart ppl can understand please!!!!!!! awesome song. | Reviewer: amanda | 6/10/09 everyones on the right track really. except wtf is this "notebook" business "the people inside" is referring to the people in the motel not people in some "notebook" thats never once mentioned? also i always thought he said "its sleeping with roaches and taking bad pills" thats what it sounds like to me anyways. A (not so brief) Analysis | Reviewer: animerox111 | 6/7/09 The first verse before the chorus is (I think) in the woman's pov and she's complaining about the hotel because it's a stinky joint and the people in there are horrible and rotten ("decomposing right before your very (lalalala) eyes/ Along with the people inside") But then in the verse after the chorus she seems to be staying there. Along with the lawyer (another term for which is attorney). The rosary in her lingerie represents the sins (sluttish probably no choice though) she just committed because she slept with him to get the job at the firm. "The Mrs. will stay wisay to the cheating attorney" mean that the girl that he's actually married to is unaware that he cheated. But she really needs his money either suggest that she's a prostitute or that she plans to marry him after he divorces his wife or something (but she doesn't want to). As for the third verse ""on strictly business" as he said to the mrs. only hours before" means that he told his wife a lie and that he actually cheated on her. "she was fixing her face with a compact" this means she was unaware that he had switched or added stuff to her purse. The constable (police) is on to her because the lawyer ratted. He crashes into her car (purposely) and proposes that she empty her purse for a search (maybe on the grounds that she's high). She has nothing to worry about so she empties it only to find "a 'purse' of a different kind" which means its not her stuff it's stuff like condoms or something a prostitute would carry (such as a book to keep tabs). Then "There are no raindrops on roses and girls in white dresses" means that the world isn't made up of 'favorite things' like the movies but is made up of "sleeping with roaches and taking best guesses" meaning do what you have to do (like be a prostitute)the rest(life) is a mystery. "So shed off the sheets before all the stains" here she is talking to the lawyer to wash the sheets (get rid of evidence) and is cut off. Presumably she's murdered or the police come in. "And a few more of your least favorite things" means that since the roaches it was listing least favorite things apposed to the 'favorite things' reference (to The Sound of Music). And finally for the actual chorus: "What a wonderful caricature of intimacy" is sarcasm its like saying their so intimate and bonded but that's only outside. Presumably, this refers to the rest of the world also. Thank You for reading, I hope this is acurate. PS - and I'm only 14!! hahahahahaha! XD Where do you get that she's a hooker? | Reviewer: Trinyan | 5/29/09 The part about the lawyer and the virgin specifically says, "She's getting a job at the firm come Monday." That says to me not that she's a hooker, but that she's sleeping with him so that he'll hire her at the law firm. Not sure about the bit with the constable. It does sound like he's propositioning the "virgin" only a few hours after the lawyer was with her, and that she fixed her make-up after the lawyer left so that she'd look good again for the constable. I guess that might imply she is a hooker, so maybe she's sleeping with the lawyer to try and get a better job so she doesn't have to be a hooker any more. Maybe the terrible crash meant that she bumped into him and dropped her purse and everything spilled out, and he saw something she didn't want him to. The "purse" of a different kind is probably not a literal purse, since it's in quotations like that. Maybe referring to a certain part of the constable's anatomy, and she's doing a "favor" for him to keep him from arresting her for what he saw in her purse.
