Bang The Doldrums lyrics

I'm not saying that anyone in the band is a sexual failure! I'm pretty sure they get laid plenty. haha. It's just a song, they're just weaving a story for us. It's not a given that they are talking about themselves! haha. Plus they always sing songs that hint at their own insecurity like What a catch Donnie's "I've got troubled thoughts and the self esteem to match" Just wanted to add that. I just realized that about their songs and wanted to work it out by writing about it. haha

its about him falling for his best friend. and his best friend rejecting him, and ending the friendship. "Best friends, Ex friends till the end, Better off as lovers, not the other way around." The first verse is him repeating what she said. "I wrote a goodbye note in lipstick on your arm when you passed out" (A guy wouldn't have lipstick. His best friend however would have had some.) "I couldn't bring myself to call except to call it quits" that was the note. She was calling it quits. Now he's a wreck and that's why he can't commit to anything. He's a wreck because he's still in love with her even if she left him. "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." Beautiful line. He still hopes that she will come back to him. Then the last line of the bridge is "Happily ever after below the waist" a masturbation reference. He was only happy below the waist. Not content all over as love would make him. This is a recurring theme in FOB songs. How the girl always doesn't like him back. Hence he's left to.. masturbate. Refer to Grand theft autumn and Nobody puts baby in the corner. In Nobody puts, there is a line that says "the hand behind this pen relieves a failure each day" take note. "Relieves" his sexual "failure". That song was basically about how he wants to be together with a girl. That's my interpretation. And definitely, Fall Out Boy's lyrics make sense. That's the beautiful thing about them, they invite you to think about what it really means. The subtext behind the words. At first glance they make no sense, but upon deeper analysis, the word play weaves a beautiful subtext. Thanks. I was just threshing out my own ideas by writing this. Nobody has to read it =>

bang the doldrums...with your doldrumsticks. I love this song. Its about how the guy cant commit to anything, even a relationship, so hes leaving the girl. in a taxi "racing through the city windows down in the back of yellow checkered cars"

oh, how i love FOB--their songs make no sense but complete sense all at once♪

this song rocks i love fallout boy
