Panic! At The Disco: There's A Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven't Thought of It Yet Meaning
There's A Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven't Thought of It Yet Lyrics
From that moment you'll be out of place and underdressed.
I'm wrecking this evening already and loving every minute of it.
Ruining this banquet for the mildly inspiring...

I'm thinking maybe this could be the 4th song of the story in this Cd Lying is the most fun.... Is when the girl he is with cheats on him ect ect and then in the 4th song (Theres a reason these tables are numbered) he see's her again and she is suprised he is happy (when did you get all confident) and he is the center of attention therefore she wishes she hadnt left him in the first place

I could be oversimplifying things but I think that the song is basically a story about someone who isn't particular a new person in town but a person who has re-invented themselves to "fit in".
"I'm the new cancer. Never looked better and you can't stand it.":
-or- "Look at me, I'm the new hot "It" person. Don't you hate me? :D"
"When you're in black slacks with accentuating, off-white, pinstripes, woah-oh. Everything goes according to plan.":
I originally ignored the slacks line. Now, noticing the "when did HE get all confident," I think this person is a crossdreser. It's definitely a he but he did make a trip to the ladies room. o_o Also, he has a plan up his sleeve..(cigarettes)
"Tonight tonight, you are you are a whispering campaign." - Basically, everyone is talking about you.
"Talk to the mirror, oh, choke back tears.
And keep telling yourself that,"I'm a diva"
Oh and the smokes in that cigarette box
On the table, they just so happen to be laced with
Nitroglycerin.":
Although he has entered the event confident and has re-invented himself, he still feel insecure so he can't help but cry and reassure himself that he's a "diva". And hey, he has poisoned cigarettes to give out to everyone he's trying to get back at. :) -
I think the whole part about the girl in the bathroom screaming I'm a diva is to try to tell herself that she's better then him even though he's getting most of the attention.

In the beginning of the song "please leave all overcoats, canes, and tophats with the doorman, from that moment youll be out of place and underdressed" it is basically saying undress the liar and the lies and it will ruin everything.
The part where he says he's the new cancer its meaning he's the cancer of lies and it destroys lives of liars. In the next verse, it's talking about his ex who hurt him and him getting back at her with all this and she has to tell herself not to listen to the rumors and I'm not sure about the cigs part but I know one of them is trying to kill her and as I write this I am starting to think that maybe the I Write Sins Not Tragedies may actually have four parts, this being the latest one. -
I think this song has to do with not one person being fake but with social groups and the pressure of being in them. In this song there's two personalities featured in a special way. The person who realizes that everyone in there depends on the other's acceptance, that behind the clothes and the poise there's insecurity, then there's the insecure girl, prey of other more popular, rich, special women. Therefore "I bet you just can't keep up (keep up) with these fashionistas, and/Tonight, tonight you are, you are a whispering campaign. I bet to them your name is "Cheap", I bet to them you look like shh... "
It's all about the girls insecurity, and the person who tells the story seemes to be feeding them. The whole "I'm the new cancer and you can't stand it" is about this man realizing everything and snapping, he (I think its a he)crashes the party, poisons the cigars and acts in a "shameless inappropiate matter" or in other words different than everyone else. To further prove that this song is about social pressure " And I know, and I know, it just doesn't feel like a night out with no one sizing you up."
At least this is what I think...:) -
Hey Sian from England. I think 'I'm the new cancer means like everyones addicted to him. and he's talkin about his ex girlfriend and how she's so jeloud that he's so cheerful and happy even though she dumped him. So she runs off to the bathroom in vain and its like oh no you didn't and talking about how he isn't attracted to her and whatnot.. Thts what I think.
-
Ok, the beginning "please leave all overcoats cains and tophats with the doorman from that moment you'll be out of place and underdressed" is talking about someone who is really fake that's hiding behind all this talk, but he's exposing them by taking all the rumors and stuff away. The other stuff is adding to the extended metaphor of a fake person being revealed at a public place. as said earlier, the part about cancer is how he is being a cancer to the fake person...
-
I think that its talking about how the new cancer is rumors, and that people of lesser statuse are the butt of jokes and have to keep them selfs up. They have to tell them selfs that there worth it and the the rumors can't hurt them
-
This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

I believe this song may be relating to more than that. It sounds like it's about someone who was shunned by the "in crowd". The girl in the ladie's room is a person who had recently been upstaged by the new face, she's no longer the center of attention. I originally thought that there was a newer, prettier girl in town, but I believe now, it is a man. (the reference to black slacks).this newcomer is a guy who she had shot down, or an ex-boyfriend. He's a "cancer" on her very existence. Soon, the party begins to pay more attention to him than her. She is whispered about behind her back, people start looking at her differently, but in her mind she deserves to be in the limelight. the "shunned" person goes to this soiree, with no other plans than to get revenge on the very people who had not accepted him, but recently had allowed him into the crowd. He returns to let the backstabbers have it. maybe I'm wrong, but this sounds pretty good to me.

This song is about casually crashing a formal banquet by poisoning the cigarettes, (they happened to be laced with nitroglycerin) insulting people, and acting weird.
"I'm the new cancer" means that he is going around and slowly ruining the party.
