Panic! At The Disco: Dying In LA Meaning
Song Released: 2018
Dying In LA Lyrics
They built you up
The sun was in your eyes
You couldn't believe it
Riches all around
You're walking
Stars are on the ground
You start to believe it
Every face along the boulevard is a dreamer just like you
You...

1TOP RATED
#1 top rated interpretation:This is quite simple. Dying in LA is taking about the first time being famous or rich. How people raise you up and make you think you are on top of the world. Until you are brought into a whole new world of fame that is not the most pleasant. Therefore you are first brought up in LA you will die in LA.
-
You become famous in L.A. Then you become popular and rich. Nobody owes you and you become spoiled.
-
I believe that it is about cancer, no one knows that you know that your dying in LA. Everyone treated you like you were on top of the world, when in reality your dying of cancer so everyone treated top amazingly.
-
I believe that it is talking about Brendon Urie’s first time going to LA and seeing the beautiful city and not believing that he is truly there because of his success and he is talking about having his goals met, even though people in his past may have tried to discourage him from being successful.He is taking in the beauty of his achievements and the great city/people he has met over the years.

I believe that this song is about someone who was diagnosed with a illness that is fatal but they're in the early stages and can still live life ordinarily... For a bit. Their last days they want to be in LA, to see it and get caught up in it because nobody knows you know that they're dying in LA, maybe because that fact is erased from your minds because they can barely believe it and they're so happy.
"Death" in a tarot deck usually means an end to something; depending which way it is it can also mean an upcoming serious illness. -
I thing this song is about not getting caught up in the fame... Then when you get struck down suicide may be an option
-
Personally, I think the meaning of it is suicide. On January 29th, 2019 I went to a Panic! At The Disco show and Brendon Urie played Dying in LA and before the show we were given colored slips of paper to hold over our flashlights on our phones during the song (Same goes for Girls/Girls/Boys). On the front of it, it had the suicide prevention hotline and it said to hold it over the flashlight to raise awareness for suicide.

To me, the message of the song is quite simple. I believe it to be a way to let people know they should not get caught up in the success of their lives. It's always okay to celebrate but you have to understand in a world of people who want to be where you are, they will do anything to get there and not look back. In other words, do not get caught up in your success because you can become someone who was once at the top to someone who has nothing is such a short period of time. To quote the song, singer-songwriter for the band, Brendon Urie, says, “Every face along the boulevard is a dreamer just like you. You looked at death in a tarot card and you saw what you had to do. But nobody knows you now. When you're dying in LA”. I believe this portion of the song exemplifies the exact message of the song itself.

A great song with a story, this is about being brought up in LA, facing great moments of fame, but getting to the realization that fame isn't all good.

suuuuuuper simple. fame gets into your head and all of the sudden, someone new comes up and you're struck down to the has-beens
