Fall Out Boy: Grenade Jumper Meaning

Grenade Jumper Lyrics

My heart ticks in beat with these kids that I grew up with
living like life's going out of styl
You came to watch us play
like a "Big shot talent"
but at the end of the day
you know where we come from and where we call home

Hey...

   This song was written by Pete Wentz about a friend named Christopher Gutierrez. Chris was in a band with Pete, Joe, and Andy called Arma Angelus before Pete decided to make Fall Out Boy. Obviously the song is dedicated to and about Chris. He adopted the nickname "HeyChris" after the song came out. Many people for some reason assume that Chris is dead. He's not. He is a writer who lives in Chicago. He is internet famous for his livejournal, www.askheychris.livejournal.com. The lyrics that begin the song are very appropriate if you know Chris. He lives with a "living like lifes going out of style" attitude.

   This song is about there friend chris, who was there only fan when they started playing. So they were joking around one day and said they should write a "fan appreciation" song. And one of them was just like, yeah it would be like, hey chris you were are only fan. And thats how it started. Dont believe me? Look up take this to your grave directors cut on youtube

   Actually, this song is about a friend of their who in the beginning, was the only one who believed that they'd make it big and he supported them and came to their shows like they already were rockstars.
   
   Duh.
