I Write Sins Not Tragedies Lyrics
as I'm pacing the pews in a church corridor,
and I can't help but to hear, no I can't help but to hear an exchanging of words.
(I love you, I love you too)
"What a beautiful wedding!",
"What a beautiful wedding! says a...

This song isn't to hard to understand if you see the music video. As the wedding begins, you see that the groom's side of guests is empty and the bride's side is filled with "masked" people. As obvious, the bride is secretly cheating on her fiance. The masked people are caricatures of the bride, for the like them the bride is wearing a "mask" herself by concieling truth of her affair. Since the groom's side is empty it shows that he has nothing but his fiance. This adds to the emotion of the heart break when the groom realizes the truth, because without his fiance he will have nothing and nobody left.
The narrator does however summon his circus gang and they sit on the groom's side of the church. The circus merely represents naivity(this is appropriate since the circus is usually meant for entertaining little kids, and kids are naive), and that is indeed what the groom is for not knowing his fiance's secret. Hence when he finds out the "marriage is saved" since the narrator stopped him from making a terrible mistake.
If you look, after the groom goes outside and finds the bride cheating on him, time is sped up and its night and the church has decayed, but yet the circus and narrator remain. What this implies is that whores will always exist, as they do now and they will in future, and that regardless of what era or time we're in there will always be naivity in similar situation( as represented by the circus). This makes the message that without truth, love is meaningless. -

Okay? Because all the people that are saying that the bride's family is the clowns and entertainers, they're not right. So sorry.

I think that in the beggining of the song he hears someone saying, "too bad the bride is a whore." so he bursts in kind of awkwardly and then he says," haven't heard of closing the door and tells them how it is better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationaltity." all of this is happening before the wedding starts. Then I think that his concience starts to bug him and tells him this is bad but he decides not to listen decides that because he choose this side and disagrees with his concience the marriage is saved. But this war in his head is still going and thinks if that was the right decision so he repeats what just happened in his head even through the wedding. And sometimes his concience breaks through and stops his thoughts. Then in the end finally his concience wins this war in his head and in the end (in my opinion)is up to you whether he stopped the wedding and did or didn't say I do. At least this is what I think even though there are other songs that add a story this is what I got. And thank you for the other interpretations because they helped.

The song was written by the guitar player. It is loosely based off of a relationship he had where the girl he was dating cheated on him. He came up with the concept of "what if my experiences happened to a couple just about to get married".

Definitely the groom's interpretation. "our marriage is saved."
Not sure if the bride cheated on him prior to the ceremony, but he definitely stumbled upon the conversation with the bridesmaid and the waiter. The bridesmaid (being that she would know the bride) was telling the waiter that the soon-to-be-wife was a whore . . . That she had cheated on him in the past.
He's toasting the fact that the marriage was saved because it never happened. The chorus is the split between living a sweet lie and finding the bitter truth. Close the door so I can live my lie, but no, it's better to deal with the truth. -
This is what I think:
The singer is some kind of circus freak and he somehow knows that the bride is a whore. When he hears the bridesmaid and waiter" what a shame the poor grooms bride is a whore" he says "....Closing the goddamn door" because he doesn't think its right for them to try and ruin someones wedding. But then he stops and thinks"its much better to face these kinds of things with a sence of poise and rationality" meaning that because she's a whore and everyone knows it but the groom, then he should show the groom.
So then he calls all his circus friends to mess up the wedding because he knows that she's uptight and will leave. So when the groom goes after her he sees her "hidden" infedelity. And "technically our marriage is saved" because he figured her out. Then the circus guy persuades him to take over his job and help the other clueless grooms. :) -

I agree it is groom, I think the groom is pacing before his wedding and overhears this conversation between bridesmaide and waiter. After he hears that someone called his wife a whore he gets angry n says "haven't you ever heard of...." but deep inside him he faces a battle to calm down n think about this situation. Then the next verse talks about the marriage being saved. I think it means he must have thought about it rationally and because he did the wedding went through. Also since the title is I write sins not tragedies I think that means that talking about someone is a sin but the wedding wasn't called off so it wasn't a tragedy!! W

It's a pretty easy song to understand. And if the lyrics aren't clear if you watch the music video then you should be able to get it.
A guys getting married but he finds out on his wedding day that his bride is cheating on him. -
The first time I listened to this song it was just.. Wow.. That makes no sence at all! But after listening to it some more I figure::
the speaker is the groom
"what a shame, the poor groom's bride is a whore." kk I figure that the bride is cheating on the speaker/groom right?
"haven't you people ever heard of closing the god damn door?!" well the speaker/groom walks in on the bride cheating on him. So obviously that is quite shocking but the groom says:
"no, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality." poise means: 'freedom from affectation or embarrassment' obviously a situation like that would be extremly embarrasing! And to be rational means 'having reason or understanding' so he's trying to understand y in gods name is my to-be wife screwing this other guy??!! So to cover this up he says:
"well I'll look at it this way, I mean technically our marriage is saved." better to find out about this before they got married right?
Yea I donno if that is like totally out there to you.. But that's what I got out of the song. :) I'll come on back and read what other people have got to say later
peace out! -
I think the singer is just a guest at the wedding and he overhears the waiter and bridesmaid saying that the bride is a whore and he says to close the door beacause he doesn't want to hear it and realizes that maybe he d should stop denying it and maybe just accept it when he says ''its much better to face these kinds of things with a snese of poise and rationality'' and maybe once he realizes that ''his marriage is saved''
