Fall Out Boy: Nobody Puts Baby In The Corner Meaning
Nobody Puts Baby In The Corner Lyrics
And come spit off bridges with me,
Just to keep us warm.
Light a match to leave me be.
Light a match to leave me.
I'll keep my jealousy close,
'Cause it's all mine.
And if you say this makes you...

The people above have interpreted the song well, but there was a question about the song title and its relevance to the song. "Nobody puts baby in a corner" is a quote from the movie Dirty Dancing. Baby (Frances) kept Johnny a secret from everyone because she wasn't supposed to have anything to do with him. "I'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake" is a line with much relevance to the movie.

I think this song has a lot to do with Hey Kate, I don't know, I might be completely wrong. But with all the stuff that has been going on between them lately, it made me think of this song.

Ok guys... your interpretations on the "So wear me like a locket around your throat..." part are completely different from what I came up with.
"So wear me like a locket around your throat
I'll weigh you down,
I'll watch you choke
You look so good in blue
You look so good in blue."
I think it has something to do with the girl showing off the boy to everyone ("so wear me like a locket around your throat"), like maybe a lot of girls were after him, but she got him. The boy did not like this and maybe the girl never really loved him; maybe she oly wanted him because everyone else did. The boy realized that their relationship would never work out.
So, the girl was wearing the boy like a locket by showing him off, but not really loving him. So the boy was unhappy because he really loved the girl and wished that she would just leave (I really liked that other person's "burning bridges" theory, and I agree with it). That would be "I'll weigh you down, I'll watch you choke". Perhaps it has something to do with the girl choking on her words later.
But the last lines:
"You look so good in blue.
You look so good in blue."
I think that the boy still loved the girl with all his heart, even though she didn't feel that way about him. So he thought she was beautiful, even though he hated her at the same time. Its hard to explain.
I'm horrible with words. -
Well, I'm not sure what to think about these lyrics especially since my ex-boyfriend said that this song reminded him of me, and I never cheated on him
I have just always wondered the what the relationship between the dirty dancing quote as the title is to the meaning of the rest of the song...does anyone have any ideas? -
This song is about the girl Pete was in love with for two years. He was away on tour and she slept with two of his best friends over the same weekend and the songs about getting revenge over that girl.
-
My interpretation of the Wear me like a locket around your throat/I'll way you down/I'll watch you choke/You look so good in blue is, the guy gave her locket with his picture in it, and he believes, if she wants to prove she still loves him, she has to wear it, but she feels smothered by it, like proving her commitment to a ship she thinks has already sunk beyond comprehension. Her boyfriend is watching her be smothered without trying to help her, telling her she looks good with her spirit being slowly crushed.
-
I suppose it might be about a relationship that isn't working out right. Yet the two "lovers" continue to trying and mend some of the shattered parts of it. I also think that the guy in the song might feel a bit guilty for the demise of the relationship. (Like the fact that he tried, but couldn't save it?)

I think loonylovegood was right on a few things, but she seemed to have trouble with the chorus, and I think I can clarify a bit.
"Keep quiet.
Nothing comes as easy as you."
Now, I always thought that the narrator (wether it's Pete or not is another debate)was stillin love with the girl, even though she created on him or broke his heart in some other way. With that thought in mind, the "Keep quiet" is his way of saying that he already knows what she did, but dosn't care. "Nothing comes as easy as you" is talking about how he feels that the only thing that comes natural to him is loving her, so it doesn't really matter if she's a good girlfriend or not
"Can I lay in your bed all day?"
This line is about how he loves her still, so he still wants to be with her in ever sense.
"I'll be your best kept secret
And your biggest mistake."
HE realizes that she's not the best girlfriend, and he's probably feeling a little down if she's been with other guys. He may be feeling that if she felt the need to go be with someone else, he's failing at being a good boyfriend. She may be ashamed because he's such a bad lover, which explains why she wants to keep him a secret. He's a mistake because she could do so much better. -
This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway
-
The "you look so good in blue part" is definitely about choking her.
"Wear me like a locket around your throat/I'll weigh you down, I'll watch you choke"
It is a song about revenge. The girl he wants/wanted/has/had is a slut bag. "Nothing comes as EASY as you," but he still wants her.
He hates her though.. gin and kerosene.. basically he wants her dead and quiet. -
The intro lines to this song are what I interpret to be more straight edge subtlety. Gin is equated with kerosene, and if a match is lit, the person who drank the gin/kerosene would metaphorically catch fire or explode, and Pete would be left alone as he wishes.

I agree that he wants to be with this girl, but can't be. I think they are friends though, and he wants to be more than friends, but she doesn't. I love this song and I love the acoustic version too from Chloe X.
-
This song is based on a boy (again) desperate to have this girl be in love with him, but it's not happening.
"And I'll keep my jealousy close,
'Cause it's all mine.
And if you say this makes you happy,
Then I'm not the only one lying." (because there's proof)
