turn off the lights lyrics panic at the disco

He (like most of us) sets his expectations high and because of that he always failsīecause of this he stops caring, he'll take all the chances he wants (like being with this girl:Īnd by the line: 'like the man I know I'm not'Ī 'man' in his view would take these chances. His consequences are literally worse than his ego because his ego got him there and the consequence is affecting things now. He's at one point so desperately alone he turns to 'the devil'. My InterpretationI believe this song (in general) is about being alone. Shooting stars watch me fall apart tonight, woah Once it falls apart my heads in the cloudsĪ heavy heart on the boulevard tonight, oh I think I'll figure it out with a little more time Better now then never.Our consciences are always so much heavier than our egos That that would be the only thing to fix it. TL DR: Brendon felt as if he was alone, with many mistakes, and that he was worth nothing, and that having someone there would make the best of it.

The lyrics saying that the hard past is where his mistakes were, that the lights are watching him fall apart.Īnd the rest of the lyrics are 'Oh-woahs' or repeats of the ones above. That he isn't worthless.Ī heavy heart on the boulevard tonight, ohh/ Shooting stars watch me fall apart tonight, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh I need a little sympathy/ To sore my insecurities 'So I'm taking every chance I got/ like the man I know I'm not' he doesn't really believe in himself, but he wants to make himself better. distract me.' 'Heavy heart to hold me down/ once it falls apart my heads in the clouds' saying that it would be hard to do it, but once it was done, it would be as if he was free.

I've got my heavy heart to hold me down/ Once it falls apart my head's in the clouds/ So I'm taking every chance I got/ Like the man I know I'm not/Ĭould be interpreted to mean 'I don't want to remember, black these things out for me. Taken alone, these would probably mean sex. Turn off the lights, turn off the lights/ Turn on the show for me tonight or that you should stay in the moment, not worrying about the past (the devil won't leave him alone, remember?) I think I'll figure it out with a little more time/ But who needs time. Presuming it's the same Boulevard that ( ) refers to, it COULD mean, 'It's a long hard path, and so sometimes you have to light the way.' That if you expect too much, nothing will ever work. I set my expectations high/ So nothing ever comes out rightĪre rather self explanatory. That his mistakes are holding him back, instead of his opinion of himself. That what he does is more important than what he thinks of himself, and it weighs down on him. Says that things ARE haunting him, and have more worth than his self image. Our consciences are always so much heavier than our egos I'm always going to have to live with them. they're NEVER going to let me be in peace. It's almost like I found a friend/ Who's in it for the bitter end 'I got so sick of being on my own/ Now the devil won't leave me alone'Ĭould have a meaning of, 'I was tired of being alone, and made a couple of bad mistakes'.
