Fall Out Boy: Thnks Fr Th Mmrs Meaning
Song Released: 2007
Thnks Fr Th Mmrs Lyrics
(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...
-
The title is supposed to look like a text message....
and it's about his girlfriend and Chris having a one night stand! -

This song is actually about how when you stop going out with someone and you are still obsessed with them.

"I'm gonna make you bend and break"- possibly a euphemism- "Say a prayer, but let the good times roll, in case God doesn't show"- hope for the best and have sex, I guess- "And I want these words to make things right, but it's the wrongs that make the words come to life"- he knows he shouldn't be sleeping with her- "'Who does he think he is?' (If that's the worst you got, better put your fingers back to the keys)"- either the girl is bitter about being used purely for sex, or it's that Chris guy- "One night and one more time, thanks for the memories, even though they weren't so great"- yep, he's just using her, so it's a one night stand- "'He tastes like you, only sweeter'"- don't think I need to explain this one- "Been looking forward to the future, but my eyesight is going bad"- looking forward to what might happen next, but it's hard to tell- "And this crystal ball is always cloudy, except for when you look into the past"- he can see what he's done wrong, but not what he'll do next- "One night stand (one night stand-off)"- there'll be a confrontation about the one night stand he had, possibly ending a friendship/relationship- "They say I only think in the form of crunching numbers, in hotel rooms, collecting page-six lovers"- everyone thinks he just sits in hotel rooms and calls up more and more slutty girls, and he doesn't seem happy about the accusation, even though he doesn't deny it; in fact, the next line confirms it- "Get me out of my mind, get you out of those clothes"- make him stop thinking and just undress- "I'm a line away from getting you into the mood"- erm, might not be a drug reference like some of you seem to think... It could just mean pick-up lines.

It's about Pete and his past. which was not very good..... (Those pictures, the girl who cheated on him, suicide....) So you know that has to be really hard on a guy...

Well, If what the earlier poster said about Panic!'s song that has a line in it from closer, that could be FOB's way of addressing the point that people call them Panic! wannabees.
The text messaging theory and the panic! reference are both supported by the music video, although videos aren't the most accurate way of interpreting the song. I do however think it's actually directed against the fans and media, who turned their backs on FOB for Panic! -
It's about 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. NOT ABOUT PETE AND HIS ATTEMPT TO COMMIT SUICIDE.
the title is referring to a part of a text message. -
I really don't care what the song means. Its a song and its catchy. Nor am I a FOB fan, but I had to post on the meaning of the song title because frankly your guys text messaging theory was really annoying. funny but annoying. The reason they wrote the title like that is because their label had been complaining how their song titles were always so long. So, they decided to go ahead and remove the vowels, thus shortening the name! funny guys. Anyway I saw that Pete guy on fuse, explaining the whole deal. So yeah that's the real reason for the title. not text messaging a girl.

Leave hockey dude alone, peeps. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. And I, for one, enjoyed reading it; much like I enjoyed reading some of the others. :] I do agree that FOB songs, as was stated earlier, are purposely ambiguous and open-ended to allow individual interpretation. For example, "Say a prayer but let the good times roll, in case God doesn't show." What if it's a throwback to that whole Y2K thing where everyone was so sure that judgement day was upon us? Just an example.
