Fall Out Boy: Thnks Fr Th Mmrs Meaning

Song Released: 2007

Thnks Fr Th Mmrs Lyrics

I'm gonna make you bend and break
(It sent you to me without wait)
Say a prayer but let the good times roll
In case god doesn't show
(Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll)

And I want these words to make things right
But it's...

   This song could be about a drug addict trying to give up his addiction. Here's my analysis of the parts of the song that relate to this theory: "I'm gonna make you bend and break" - Drugs made him bend and break; "Say a prayer, but let the good times roll, In case God doesn't show" - Pray you don't OD but have fun if you don't (if God doesn't take you); "And I want these words to make things right, but it's the wrongs that make the words come to life" - He's telling people he'll quit doing drugs, but the fact he's doing them is what gives the words meaning. "Who does he think he is" - Perhaps about a father figure or someone else who is telling him not to do drugs. As for the chorus, "One night and one more time" - He's telling himself this will be the LAST night he'll do drugs (e.g. "I can quit whenever I want."); "Thanks for the memories, even though they weren't so great" - He's telling the drug goodbye, but reminding himself the effects were dangerous; "He tastes like you, only sweeter" - Freedom tastes like drugs only sweeter. The second part of the chorus is identical to the first, but he repeats "Thanks for the memories," possibly to firmly tell himself the drugs are gone. "Looking forward to the future, But my eyesight is going bad" - He's thinking of what he wants to do with his life but is losing sight of his goals because of the drugs; "And this crystal ball, Is always cloudy except for when you look into the past" - You never know the drug's true consequences until after the fact. "One-night stand...One-night stand off" - His addiction leads him into a one-night stand, after which he battles himself about quitting drugs. "I only think in the form of crunching numbers" - Refers to either a.) Losing money to support his habit or b.) Actually weighing drugs and dealing with the money; "In hotel rooms" - Doing drugs in hotel rooms to sort of cover his tracks; "Collecting Page Six lovers" - Reference to using rolled-up magazine pages to snort cocaine through. The drug references go away in the end of the breakdown, but come back in the repeated choruses, which are sung with a feeling of force and anguish, and the final power chord, which sounds like he's giving up. It's one of my favorite Fall Out Boy songs. I've always loved the band for their deep lyrics.

   The title has no vowels. If you look on the FOB website Pete says the record company told them to shorten their song's names. So they were just being smart asses. They thought it was funny.

   Well, my interpretation was that, well, obviously, he had a one night stand with this girl.
   the lyrics are just text message conversations. (hence why the title is in chat speak)
   "he tastes like you, only sweeter" is what the girl texted to him, meaning her new boyfriend/sex partner/whatever you interpret is better than him, etc.
   
   thats just what my friends and I think, and it seems to make a lot more sense to me than pete sleeping with his friends girlfriend; I could be wrong, but it makes sense to me (:

   This song is about loving a girl so much but being so jealous of her that you want to cut her up into little pieces and eater and she tastes like you only sweeter.

   "This song is about loving a girl so much and being so jealous of her that you just want to cut her up into pieces and eat her"
   As said by Pete on the Live in Phoenix album

   On the song name,it was named "thnks fr the mmrs" as sarcastic reply to the record company,who wanted Fall Out Boy to shorten the names of their songs.

   For those guessing about why the title has no vowels in it, its not a symbol for anything. I don't remember exactly who, but someone wasn't going to let FOB title the song Thanks For The Memories, because they thought it was too long. So to mock them, they removed all the vowels to shorten it, but still have the title they wanted.

    "He Tastes Like You Only Sweeter" Is a line from the movie "closer" from which lines seem to appear in a great deal of FOB songs i've noticed.

    "The song, according to bassist Pete Wentz in an interview with Kerrang!, refers to a romantic relationship in which the initial sentiments have perished, but both lovers continue to "sleep with each other" to appease their physical and mental desires. The title, "Thnks fr th Mmrs" is the words "thanks for the memories" after having been disemvowelled, much like it would be written as part of a text message." -Wikipedia
    Don't belive me? Look it up.

    I think it is about a prostitute because of the line I only think in the world of crunching numbers. I'm probably wrong but hey

    I think the whole song is about the cellphone incident that happened to pete _the music video. Apparently he wanted to impress this girl and showed pics of himself but then obviously it didn't turn out the way he wanted it to so he's saying "thanks for the memories even though they weren't so good"

    I think that "I only think in the form of crunching numbers .. In hotel rooms.." means that he only thinks about the number of girls he sleeps with, the girl is irrelevant, he just wants to like 'keep the numbers up'. Anyone agree?
