I kind of feel like part of these lyrics were fans demanding more music and FoB is just like, "Hold ooooooooooon, hold ooooooooooon, hold ooooooooooooooon, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold oooo..."
Alright, I've got an odd theory: Twin Skeleton's is about a murder, particularly a murder inside of a relationship gone sour. First off, there's a shit ton of deathly iconography in this song: jet black crows, skeletons, and two outright mentions of death: "Just die laughing on your spiral of shame" and "a birth and a death on the same day." That sets the foundation that something really rather horrific is going on in this song. We can extrapolate that that something isn't entirely love- the lyrics aren't written like "Fourth of July" or "Favorite Record," which both instantly reek of love with lines talking of confession, beauty, and romantic regret. No; something worse is happening here, and I think it's a murder. Let's look at a few lines: "There's a room in a hotel in NYC/That shares our fate and deserves our pity." Buildings that play host to murder are often condemned (catch the pun?) to be terrifying places, the kind you'd see in a Ray Bradbury short. Dwellings where murders have taken place have their lives, if you will, cut short. They share the fate, in a way, of those who die there. "I don't want to remember at all/The promises I made if you just hold on." The promises in mention could very well be the promises of the honeymoon period of an abusive relationship- it will never happen again, I didn't mean it, it's all going to be okay. The murder at the heart of the song is, I believe, the culmination of one too many of these broken promises. "Till we're saints just swimming in our sins again." Murderers often believe they are saints. They aggrandize their self image into almost godlike proportions. More over, they often believe themselves- if you get into the especially sinister murderers- to be on missions from God or that they are messiahs, which this verse could be referencing. "And there's a jet black crow droning on and on and on." Any good history buff knows that crows are more often than not seen as harbingers of death, as ominous omens that something bad- I mean really fucking bad- is about to happen. See Julius Caesar by Shakespeare for evidence. "A birth and a death on the same day." While the person dies, a reputation- that of a violent, fanatical murderer- is born. There is a birth of newfound fame, of newfound recognition; perhaps, this is what our murderer sought all along. There you have it, folks. Thoughts from my head at 1:30 AM.
This song is so sad. As someone who suffers from depression I can understand some of what Pete was going through at the time they broke up. This song is so powerful. Patrick's vocals are haunting and convey the helplessness, grief and pain that Pete felt at the time. Definitely my fave song from AB/AP :)
GUYS This connects to GINASFS "I was born under a bad sign / But you saved my life / That night on the roof of your hotel" ~ GINASFS "There's a room in a hotel in New York City/ That shares our fate and deserves our pity / I don't want to remember the promises I made if you'll just hold on" It's about Pete's suicide attempt Holy shit
this song could be about petes suicide attempt yeah but i think it deals with the hiatus: pete wrote this to pre-hiatus patrick. *"a birth and death on the same day"* is referring to the death of fob and birth of soul punk. patrick was the one who offered that the band go on hiatus and pete opposed it at first. *"i dont want to remember it all the promises i made if you just hold on"* pete was trying to convince patrick to not go on hiatus. im pretty sure the last show they played before the hiatus was in nyc too (but idk for sure) *"i need a new partner in crime"* and *"till we're twins again"* show how close patrick and pete were and still are. for the latter, pete even said on twitter that he and patrick have a bad case of cryptophasia (the language shared by twins) *"keep making trouble till you find what you love"* but in the end pete just wanted patrick to be happy and if going on hiatus and doing soul punk is "what patrick loved" pete wouldnt stop him
So I saw a comment down here that's no longer here, but it was an interesting theory on what the song was about. Now I don't mean to come under fire from this but I liked the idea. The lyrics "and I just did enough of you to dull the pain. Just enough to get me through the night 'til we're twins again. 'Til we're stripped down to our skeletons again. 'Til we're saints just swimming in our sins again" could be something about who the band is in front of the media/press vs. who they are when they get back home or are in the hotel room. Meaning "ok we need to be these people out in front of everyone" vs. "ok, we're back in the hotel, let's screw around and be ourselves." Just a thought. Like I said this idea isn't mine and I think the comment has been deleted since I saw it but it was a good idea and I liked it. You don't have to agree with it but please don't attack me for it.
It's about fobs breakup. 'A birth and a death on the same day' death of fob birth of soul punk and all the other things done during the hiatus. They also broke up in a hotel in nyc. Pete has also said it's a love song (most likely for Patrick, Andy, and Joe)
Chris Cammidge after seeing fob 10 times and meeting them twice I know that. But I mean let's look at their other titles. How much sense do they really make (look at futct haha)? I'm still pretty sure its about the break up tho
This song is sad, but beautiful, not to mention they rock pretty hard on it as well. Does anybody else think Patrick and Amy Lee from Evanescence should do a duet? They both have fantastic voices. I would love to hear them do a love ballad.
Am I the only one that thinks the instrumental in the beginning sounds like the part from Miss Jackson by P!ATD with the 'Heyy, heyy, heyahahey' part? Yes, no? Okay. *scuttles away and hides in corner*
*skeleton twins (hotel in NYC) comes on while in Hot Topic) Me: *stops everything* Me: *starts dancing like a lunatic* People: *stares at me like they just saw a demon* Me: HOLD ON HOLD ON HOLD ON HOLD ON!!!!
FOB never cease to amaze me and here's another example of greatness. The tone and the pitch in the vocals are off the chart. These guys are getting better & better
I also thought it was "there's a jet black crow CALLING on and on and on" and I used to think it was "the chairs are fake" instead of "that shares our fate" LOLOLOL makes so much more sense now
Man, I really love this song! *waits for the stream of undertale comments that somehow follows me everywhere no matter where I go even if it's something irrelevant because you can never escape the undertale fandom*
the little pause during "I need a new partner and crime and...your shotgun" reminds me of swallowing spittle, lips quivering as your heart leaps into your throat and you ask for something that you are 100% ashamed to ask for, why are they looking at you like that? why are you buckling under their gaze as you ask for that? why would anyone ask for that? it breaks my heart
Chesca Lilly It's actually "and you shrug," it's kinda hard to differentiate but there's definitely only one syllable there, and most websites say "shrug" (sorry for pointing this out, your analysis of it was pretty damn cool though. Also sorry for posting on a thread this old)
I'm obsessing over the heroes of Olympus series and I'm listening to fobs old songs and they all remind me of characters. For example the title just screams NICO DI ANGELO!!
Half of the comments is Undertale related... The rest is about how their authors are pissed of Undertale comments, so summing it up: all comments are about Undertale
XxARIbandsDOEXx this isn't about 9/11... its one of the love songs that sounds like its to a girl, but really pete is writing it for patrick. "i just need enough of you to dull the pain, just to get me through the night till we're twins again, till we're stripped down to our skeletons again, till we're saints just swimmin in our sins again." "i sometimes hate the act we have to put on on stage. tonight i just want to get back to the hotel room so we can act like kids and say stupid shit like we used to."
when u realize that this song is about the twin towers it gets a lot deeper damn. like, imagine how many people were in that building calling 911 and were told to just hold on. damn
Seth Rollins no it's not. It's about when they broke up. Before jumping to conclusions and being to literal with the lyrics, look it up like I did. They say so themselves that it's NOT about the twin towers.
Everyone is freaking out about Undertale, but honestly, the only connection is the name of the song. Undertale fandom, chill out. You guys are acting crazy. And I love Undertale! I'm in the fandom! But I completely understand why pretty much everyone hates us. So guys, please, let's salvage our already-dwindling reputation and just keep it to ourselves.
I love how everyone's like "IT'S ABOUT THE TWIN TOWERS!" The everyone else is like "IT'S ABOUT A BREAK UP!" And im just over here like: "All of you SHUT. THE. F. UP. AND JUST LISTEN TO THE SONG AND STOP ARGUING."
+Sketch girl I believe everyone interprets lyrics differently. Music is an art, so the message is subjective. What the artist felt when creating the piece isn't necessarily what fans will take away with the song, and that is fine. It's how it should be...but......WHO THE FUCK IS SAYING THIS IS ABOUT THE TWIN TOWERS??? O.o
It's incredible how much the refrain sticks. I'm usually one for music that's a tad heavier than this, but this song, man, that one's stuck in my ear for at least a week now. Wow.
Guys, the game in general isn't cancer. The game is very heartwarming and hilarious. It's the fucking fandom that makes the game tainted. SO please, just shut up with all of these Undertale comments and just enjoy the music. I am fine with all of the comments that say, "Who else thought of Undertale?" Okay, those are fine because, let's be honest, we all thought of it. But all of those comments that are like, "OMG UNDERTALE!!!! SANS AND PAPYRUs M8888" Like holy crap we get it.
KellyT The Shadow Queen i agree, and i'd like to add, the lyrics that one would associate with sans and papyrus don't even appear throughout the entire thing. It's like, yes, those couple lines remind you of sans and papyrus, but what about the rest of the song and the meaning it's trying to convey? it takes all the enjoyment out of that.
+RayQuan Wannamaker No, you misunderstood. Friends can hate whatever they want, but if their friend loves it, then its not a good idea to make it known you hate the thing because it might hurt their feelings.
+Nathalie A. What's wrong with hurting your friends feelings? You can't sugar coat things all the time. Being a friend is all but honesty for me. So if you don't like something, tell me so I don't talk about it all the time. I really want soup. don't know why I told you that, but I did. xD
Every time it says "I don't want to remember it all, the promises I made" I get shivers because I just imagine how they would tell them stuff like "it's okay people are coming to rescue you" etc
here are some connections that help my point: patrick confirmed *"a birth and death on the same day"* is referring to the death of fob and birth of soul punk. patrick was the one who offered that the band go on hiatus and pete opposed it at first. *"i dont want to remember it all the promises i made if you just hold on"* pete was trying to convince patrick to not go on hiatus. im pretty sure the last show they played before the hiatus was in nyc too (but idk for sure) *"i need a new partner in crime"* and *"till we're twins again"* show how close patrick and pete were and still are. for the latter, pete even said on twitter that he and patrick have a bad case of cryptophasia (the language shared by twins) *"keep making trouble till you find what you love"* but in the end pete just wanted patrick to be happy and if going on hiatus and doing soul punk is "what patrick loved" pete wouldnt stop him
'there is a room in a hotel in new York city...' me: 'IS IT A SUITE? IS IT FANCY????' 'that shares a fate and deserves are pity...' me: 'ohhhhh fancy! how much does it cost?' 'I don't want to remember it all...' me: awwww, so you don't remember the price? )':' ''if you just hold on...' me: ok ok, sorry I'm in a rush, but dis place sounds fancy! *random cliff comes out of no where* me: OK NOW I GET WHY I SHOULD HOLD ON
Stop with the undertale comments. Literally just because it has twin skeletons in the name could mean anything I mean like I like undertale but I don't like it where I have to comment " oh it reminds me papyrus and sans anybody else? " sorrynotsorry
Just by going through the comments I saw 3 different interpretation. My own interpretation is 4-- this is why I like FOB. It's crazy how the song can differ person to person.
OH MY GOD GUYS! STOP FIGHTING ABOUT IT! YOU THINK ITS ABOUT THE BREAKUP? COOL! YOU THINK ITS ABOUT THE TWIN TOWERS? COOL! ITS JUST A SONG IT DOESN'T MATTER SO JUST LISTEN TO THE DAMN SONG AND ENJOY IT
Well if it doesn't matter, then the whole purpose of writing the song just goes down the trash? The people who complain about other people fighting is even worse. Fucking hell.
Here's my two-cents on the meaning of the song: It's about two taken/married people having an affair and one left the other. "I don't want to remember it all the promises I made if you just hold on" - There's a promise he doesn't want to remember everytime they're together and he doesn't want her to leave because he's fallen for her. "There's a room in a hotel in new york city that shares our fate and deserves our pity" - A room that doesn't get occupied has no meaning for existence(pitiful). Sharing their fate with an unoccupied room would mean they feel there is no purpose to their existence if they're not together. "And I just need enough of you to dull the pain" - He got addicted to her(He fell for her). If that ain't a perfect description of an addiction then I don't know what is. "Just to get me through the night till we're twins again" - Again addiction right here but the 'till we're twins again' part makes it sound like one party doesn't think like the other anymore. "Till we're stripped down to our skeletons again, till we're saints just swimming in our sins again" - First part is about their lust for each other that it's how they feel about each other. Second part describes that this might be adultery and that they look like a saint at first glance. "And there's a jet black crow droning on and on and on" - Jet Black Crow(Death) of a marriage hanging above their heads. "Keep making trouble till you find what you love" - She got bored of him and left to find another lover. "I need a new partner in crime and you shrug" - describes how he searched for another lover and went back to the old one but got rejected. "A birth and a death on the same day" - The birth of an affair, The death of a marriage. A new lover. "And honey I only appeared so I can fade away" - He doesn't want to get attached to her and get hurt like the last time. "I wanna throw my hands in the air and scream and I could just die laughing on your spiral of shame" - Walk of shame? "Hit it never quit it I have been through the wreck, but I can string enough to show my face in the light again" - He's suggesting that they keep their affair going and he's a better liar if they're ever found out. After this stanza it goes back to the first part which hints that he's fallen for her like his other lover who left him and he doesn't want her to leave him. Repeat.
Ms. Penguin Actually, the fans do not get to decide what the sing is really about. The writers of the song, who understand the lyrics fully, decide what the song is about. And it is not about the twin towers. They have said that.
i have really bad anxiety and after I listen to this song I feel like a new person thank you fall out boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Am I the only one who thinks this song is about the titanic? It was: 1. Going to New York 2. "If you just *hold on* 3 The Titanic sunk on it's first trip ("A birth and a death on the same day") MAybe it's just me.
A birth and a death refers to the dying of their fake outer personality and the birth of their genuine inner personality. This happens out of public view, and they put on their fakeness before going back. They hold on until the next time they can be alone together. No towers, no tragedies. It's all depression and identity confusion.
If you lied about the band and said it was Billy Talent, I would have fell for it. I wouldn't even be surprised if the two bands knew each other well enough to have toured together.
I have a feeling this song is about an actual Hotel in New York City that has had a rather shady history. There is a hotel there where many people committed suicide and murder. It is being changed up for the third or fourth time in its history, basically trying to kill the bad omens associated with it. Hence the song saying there's 'a room in a hotel in new york city, that shares our fate and deserves our pity' because its about bad things happening and yet trying to change them. I might be reading too much into this but I am telling the truth about this hotel.

There you have it, folks. Thoughts from my head at 1:30 AM.
holy fuck go write a book bruh that was awesome
Thanks!
+Jerry Robins good theory. too bad the song's confirmed to be about the break up of the band
Brandon Thompson Seriously? That's interesting, I would have never called that. Can you like me to where tehy say that?
Jerry Robins i dont have a link myself, but i know for a fact Pete and Patrick have both said that it's about the break up
This song is so sad. As someone who suffers from depression I can understand some of what Pete was going through at the time they broke up. This song is so powerful. Patrick's vocals are haunting and convey the helplessness, grief and pain that Pete felt at the time.
Definitely my fave song from AB/AP :)
Am I the only one who thinks this song is about a depressed person wanting to end thier life but Patrick's telling them to hold on and keep going?
+Puppy Klove FOB is hero anyways
Marjella Harlaar I know, thats why I luv them and their songs. Theyre the best band ever in my opinion
+Puppy Klove Yeah, they're a great band. TØP and FOB both inspire me to keep going through the darkness.
aww, thats awesome! I do that too. :-)
I never thought of it as that way!!!
FOB has its unique style of rhyming!
S.Naseem Ad there older stuff is better but still love them
S.Naseem Ad yeah
+Trifecta Elite eww hippy
Really? I always thought they were one of those rare bands that hasn't really changed.
Anna Montague is this song about 9/11 or no
if you ever feel sad just remember I'm shorter than Patrick Stump
That does make me feel better, thank you
😂
It's okay I'm shorter then him too he 5'5 I'm 5'2 but I'm 12 XD
I'm taller then all of y'all. I'm 5'9
Ur a miget
Ahh the harmonizing at the end is my favorite part! It's so eerie and haunting yet oddly peaceful at the same time!
Yes, it’s my favorite part!

This connects to GINASFS
"I was born under a bad sign / But you saved my life / That night on the roof of your hotel" ~ GINASFS
"There's a room in a hotel in New York City/ That shares our fate and deserves our pity / I don't want to remember the promises I made if you'll just hold on"
It's about Pete's suicide attempt
Holy shit
this song could be about petes suicide attempt yeah but i think it deals with the hiatus:
pete wrote this to pre-hiatus patrick. *"a birth and death on the same day"* is referring to the death of fob and birth of soul punk.
patrick was the one who offered that the band go on hiatus and pete opposed it at first. *"i dont want to remember it all the promises i made if you just hold on"* pete was trying to convince patrick to not go on hiatus.
im pretty sure the last show they played before the hiatus was in nyc too (but idk for sure)
*"i need a new partner in crime"* and *"till we're twins again"* show how close patrick and pete were and still are. for the latter, pete even said on twitter that he and patrick have a bad case of cryptophasia (the language shared by twins)
*"keep making trouble till you find what you love"* but in the end pete just wanted patrick to be happy and if going on hiatus and doing soul punk is "what patrick loved" pete wouldnt stop him

The lyrics "and I just did enough of you to dull the pain. Just enough to get me through the night 'til we're twins again. 'Til we're stripped down to our skeletons again.

Like I said this idea isn't mine and I think the comment has been deleted since I saw it but it was a good idea and I liked it. You don't have to agree with it but please don't attack me for it.
no its actually a good idea
I think it's about 9/11
I feel like it might have been sex related
Just did enough to dull the pain are the same exact words Pete used to describe his struggle with anti depressants, if that helps 🤷♀️
There’s a comment right above you that is a theory of the what the song is about, idk if it’s the same one but maybe you want to read it?
It's about fobs breakup. 'A birth and a death on the same day' death of fob birth of soul punk and all the other things done during the hiatus. They also broke up in a hotel in nyc. Pete has also said it's a love song (most likely for Patrick, Andy, and Joe)
You are right now that I think about it
Plus they would've said in interviews and stuff if the song was actually based on 9/11.
+violet flores There are more than two people in fall out boy. It's not called Quadruplet skeletons.
Chris Cammidge after seeing fob 10 times and meeting them twice I know that. But I mean let's look at their other titles. How much sense do they really make (look at futct haha)? I'm still pretty sure its about the break up tho
out it's about mikey way like everything else
At around 2:01, did anyone else hear P!ATD's Let's Kill Tonight?
YES.
i thought i was the only one
Oh my god, when I first heard this I knew that part sounded like Panic! but I couldn't place what song it sounded like!
Me! I totally did. Oml my favorite band is P!ATD
I'm in a actual haunted house HELP ME OR DIE :!
This song is sad, but beautiful, not to mention they rock pretty hard on it as well. Does anybody else think Patrick and Amy Lee from Evanescence should do a duet? They both have fantastic voices. I would love to hear them do a love ballad.
Am I the only one that thinks the instrumental in the beginning sounds like the part from Miss Jackson by P!ATD with the 'Heyy, heyy, heyahahey' part? Yes, no? Okay. *scuttles away and hides in corner*

FOB never cease to amaze me and here's another example of greatness. The tone and the pitch in the vocals are off the chart. These guys are getting better & better
Idk how to explain it but this song sounds so haunting and foreboding…
I love it
I also thought it was "there's a jet black crow CALLING on and on and on" and I used to think it was "the chairs are fake" instead of "that shares our fate" LOLOLOL makes so much more sense now
I thought it was the chairs are fake too 😂
if the chairs are fake, that hotel in NYC must be pretty low quality

Yup, welcome to my world.
I've seen more people complaining about the undertale comments and I have actual undertale comments
the little pause during "I need a new partner and crime and...your shotgun" reminds me of swallowing spittle, lips quivering as your heart leaps into your throat and you ask for something that you are 100% ashamed to ask for, why are they looking at you like that? why are you buckling under their gaze as you ask for that? why would anyone ask for that?

RIP to the ones who died and lost someone from 9/11. This is one reason i love FOB. They are all just kind men.
Alejandra Martinez Some of the lines don't make sense for that. Apparently Pete and Patrick or someone said it was about the breakup.
XxARIbandsDOEXx this isn't about 9/11... its one of the love songs that sounds like its to a girl, but really pete is writing it for patrick. "i just need enough of you to dull the pain, just to get me through the night till we're twins again, till we're stripped down to our skeletons again, till we're saints just swimmin in our sins again." "i sometimes hate the act we have to put on on stage. tonight i just want to get back to the hotel room so we can act like kids and say stupid shit like we used to."
Its not about the twin towers
why would you type this in a music Video!?
Thanks, but this song is not about 9/11
when u realize that this song is about the twin towers it gets a lot deeper damn. like, imagine how many people were in that building calling 911 and were told to just hold on. damn
It's not about the twin towers.
Ashe Whitley it is
Seth Rollins no it's not. It's about when they broke up. Before jumping to conclusions and being to literal with the lyrics, look it up like I did. They say so themselves that it's NOT about the twin towers.
Ashe Whitley Let's just make it the listener's idea on what it's about? It's better than just arguing.
I agree with jazz it don't matter who is right and who is wrong
Does anybody else get Nico di Angelo vibes from this song...?
No?
Just me?
Okay... *huddles in corner with books*
it OK. me does too

Hello fellow halfblood! :)
Every songs of Fall Out Boy has hidden meanings to it. I love how their soundtracks and songs go along with it
*heard the instrumental part*
first though: MISS JACKSON BY PANIC! AT THE DISCO
Ohmigoshhh yessss!!! Love that song
Exactly Ashley yess
***** yup
tHE MASHUP IS GOLD OF THE TWO
Azzie Marino OMG THERE'S A MASHUP
Everyone is freaking out about Undertale, but honestly, the only connection is the name of the song. Undertale fandom, chill out. You guys are acting crazy. And I love Undertale! I'm in the fandom! But I completely understand why pretty much everyone hates us. So guys, please, let's salvage our already-dwindling reputation and just keep it to ourselves.
Melon The Amazing omg I agree.
Melon The Amazing I AGREE UNDERTALE FANDOM FOR EVER!!!
Melon The Amazing i've seen more comments about people complaining about undertale then I have actual fucking undertale
comments
CandyVan oh my bad 😂
I knew that when I clicked on this video, I would see a comment section with a ton of Undertale comments.
A SKELE-ton.
That tickled my funny bone
Very humerus.
.................................................
goddamnit...
Wow.
Omg! I've listened to this song a thousand times and didn't realize it was about the twin towers till I read the comments.
same here
Lia Vallejo Same.
Lia Vallejo same
Me too! (Is your profile pic Percabeth?)
Mia F Yes it is! They're so cute!
I love how everyone's like "IT'S ABOUT THE TWIN TOWERS!" The everyone else is like "IT'S ABOUT A BREAK UP!" And im just over here like: "All of you SHUT. THE. F. UP. AND JUST LISTEN TO THE SONG AND STOP ARGUING."
Agreed 100% some people don't get
+Sketch girl I believe everyone interprets lyrics differently. Music is an art, so the message is subjective. What the artist felt when creating the piece isn't necessarily what fans will take away with the song, and that is fine. It's how it should be...but......WHO THE FUCK IS SAYING THIS IS ABOUT THE TWIN TOWERS??? O.o
But how can you like a song if you don't know what it's about 😒
What !?!!?!
ikr
It's incredible how much the refrain sticks. I'm usually one for music that's a tad heavier than this, but this song, man, that one's stuck in my ear for at least a week now. Wow.
Guys, the game in general isn't cancer. The game is very heartwarming and hilarious. It's the fucking fandom that makes the game tainted. SO please, just shut up with all of these Undertale comments and just enjoy the music.
I am fine with all of the comments that say, "Who else thought of Undertale?" Okay, those are fine because, let's be honest, we all thought of it. But all of those comments that are like, "OMG UNDERTALE!!!! SANS AND PAPYRUs M8888" Like holy crap we get it.
KellyT The Shadow Queen i agree, and i'd like to add, the lyrics that one would associate with sans and papyrus don't even appear throughout the entire thing. It's like, yes, those couple lines remind you of sans and papyrus, but what about the rest of the song and the meaning it's trying to convey? it takes all the enjoyment out of that.
I know! There's more meaning to the song than just those couple lines!
I introduced my friend to Fall Out Boy and she didn't like it so long story short we're not friends anymore. :)
Honestly if you are serious that is just sad. Why does a friend have to like what you like?
+Shiny Sylveon Bruh.... Its a joke. But besides that, friends should have common interests... And not hate on what the other likes... :p
+Nathalie A. That's not true at all. xD They can "hate" on whatever they want. You can't tell me all your friends love everything you love. x)
+RayQuan Wannamaker No, you misunderstood. Friends can hate whatever they want, but if their friend loves it, then its not a good idea to make it known you hate the thing because it might hurt their feelings.
+Nathalie A. What's wrong with hurting your friends feelings? You can't sugar coat things all the time. Being a friend is all but honesty for me. So if you don't like something, tell me so I don't talk about it all the time. I really want soup. don't know why I told you that, but I did. xD
I love the way he says "just" in "Untill we are saint just swimming in our sins again.." I smile everytime 😁 I don't know why...
I like the part "ON and ON and ON..."
It's "hold on.. hold on."
clancy It's probably "droning on and on and on"
Same I love the way he sings that bit.
Am I the only one that thinks this is the best FOB song?
Sam Phillips this is my second favorite behind Fourth of July
I like that song to!
Been hardcore bopping to this for like an hour. And it hasn’t got old yet. I have found a godly song.
That ending though... Patrick Stump is perfect in all the right ways... ;)
FoB is just the best
Ikr
2019?
Also am I the only one who gets chills down the spine every time he goes "Oooooooohh" at the end?
ArtGirl Speedart yes and me
There's a room in a hotel in new York city the cheese are feet and desserts are pity" am I the only one who hears this
+rose rodriguez OMG OMG I CAN'T UNHEAR IT CHEESE WITH FEET OMG
You ruined the song for me 😓 😭
same lol
i fuckin' hate u
+Daniel Caswell ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh this was my favorite song till you ruined it all😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Every time it says "I don't want to remember it all, the promises I made" I get shivers because I just imagine how they would tell them stuff like "it's okay people are coming to rescue you" etc
First comment yay by the way good job on this I subscribed I love this song you make good vids
i love how the puppet is subscribed and likes fall out boy i didnt know
The Puppet I have a channel called Amethyst Puppet. FNAF rocks!
Am I the only one bothered by "Twin Skeleton's" because of the apostrophe? It's plural, not possessive. Just me? Okay.
Yes
+Makenzie Wilson That bothers me too.
Bothers me too
*beams
N o t just you.
knowing pete wrote it to pre-hiatus patrick makes me love it so much more
here are some connections that help my point:
patrick confirmed *"a birth and death on the same day"* is referring to the death of fob and birth of soul punk.
patrick was the one who offered that the band go on hiatus and pete opposed it at first. *"i dont want to remember it all the promises i made if you just hold on"* pete was trying to convince patrick to not go on hiatus.
im pretty sure the last show they played before the hiatus was in nyc too (but idk for sure)
*"i need a new partner in crime"* and *"till we're twins again"* show how close patrick and pete were and still are. for the latter, pete even said on twitter that he and patrick have a bad case of cryptophasia (the language shared by twins)
*"keep making trouble till you find what you love"* but in the end pete just wanted patrick to be happy and if going on hiatus and doing soul punk is "what patrick loved" pete wouldnt stop him
you are genius !!
you are amazing
this song hits different 4 years later and idk why
hi past me
This hits different 7 years later as well!
8 years later
@@regen3128 time flies!
DUDE THIS SONG SCHLAPS AND I'M LIVING FOR IT
3:13 I love that chorus that Patrick did on his G2 low note
(If you listen very carefully)
Note: it feels like Halloween vibes in this video
'there is a room in a hotel in new York city...'
me: 'IS IT A SUITE? IS IT FANCY????'
'that shares a fate and deserves are pity...'
me: 'ohhhhh fancy! how much does it cost?'
'I don't want to remember it all...'
me: awwww, so you don't remember the price? )':'
''if you just hold on...'
me: ok ok, sorry I'm in a rush, but dis place sounds fancy! *random cliff comes out of no where* me: OK NOW I GET WHY I SHOULD HOLD ON
i know it's not about 9/11 but it sure as hell sounds like it tbh
+Alyers I agree, it kinda does remind me of it. Scarry to think of D:
yes
...
omg your right...
no
I LUV THIS SONG!! :) Hooray for the Fall Out boy!!
I'm listening to this while drawing Grell...well, I'm trying to draw Grell
From Black Butler? Nice.
Grell Sutcliffe?
Grell as in Grell Stutcliff? As in Sebastian obsessed Grell from black butler? We're best friends now.
I TOOK A WHOLE DAY OFF TI FIGURE OUT WHAT THIS IS SONG WAS AND I FINALLY FOUND IT THIS IS PERFECT AHDHSMBDHDKSKA
Stop with the undertale comments. Literally just because it has twin skeletons in the name could mean anything I mean like I like undertale but I don't like it where I have to comment " oh it reminds me papyrus and sans anybody else? " sorrynotsorry
I didn't know they were twins XD
Deenie Watson They aren't through lol
Oh good, I thought I was being stupid again XD
Deenie Watson Don't worry :P.
same, i also hate the dan and phil peeps that does this shit with this song
Just by going through the comments I saw 3 different interpretation. My own interpretation is 4-- this is why I like FOB. It's crazy how the song can differ person to person.
OH MY GOD GUYS! STOP FIGHTING ABOUT IT! YOU THINK ITS ABOUT THE BREAKUP? COOL! YOU THINK ITS ABOUT THE TWIN TOWERS? COOL! ITS JUST A SONG IT DOESN'T MATTER SO JUST LISTEN TO THE DAMN SONG AND ENJOY IT
Well if it doesn't matter, then the whole purpose of writing the song just goes down the trash? The people who complain about other people fighting is even worse. Fucking hell.
+Hayley M . . . if it doesn't matter what it means, then why would they write and sing it? There's a meaning and reason for everything.
It matters what it *can* mean. But, what a song means is open for interpretation. For each listener, one or maybe more meanings to the song.
well now that you mention Twin Towers and 9-11 if you listen to the lyrics close enough it sounds like they're singing about 911
Just enjoy the song people it's not hard when it's a good song
wow this song is gr8 just listened to it once and now i'm in love
The first time I listened to this song I immediately fell in love with it
Here's my two-cents on the meaning of the song: It's about two taken/married people having an affair and one left the other.
"I don't want to remember it all the promises I made if you just hold on" - There's a promise he doesn't want to remember everytime they're together and he doesn't want her to leave because he's fallen for her.
"There's a room in a hotel in new york city that shares our fate and deserves our pity" - A room that doesn't get occupied has no meaning for existence(pitiful). Sharing their fate with an unoccupied room would mean they feel there is no purpose to their existence if they're not together.
"And I just need enough of you to dull the pain" - He got addicted to her(He fell for her). If that ain't a perfect description of an addiction then I don't know what is.
"Just to get me through the night till we're twins again" - Again addiction right here but the 'till we're twins again' part makes it sound like one party doesn't think like the other anymore.
"Till we're stripped down to our skeletons again, till we're saints just swimming in our sins again" - First part is about their lust for each other that it's how they feel about each other. Second part describes that this might be adultery and that they look like a saint at first glance.
"And there's a jet black crow droning on and on and on" - Jet Black Crow(Death) of a marriage hanging above their heads.
"Keep making trouble till you find what you love" - She got bored of him and left to find another lover.
"I need a new partner in crime and you shrug" - describes how he searched for another lover and went back to the old one but got rejected.
"A birth and a death on the same day" - The birth of an affair, The death of a marriage. A new lover.
"And honey I only appeared so I can fade away" - He doesn't want to get attached to her and get hurt like the last time.
"I wanna throw my hands in the air and scream and I could just die laughing on your spiral of shame" - Walk of shame?
"Hit it never quit it I have been through the wreck, but I can string enough to show my face in the light again" - He's suggesting that they keep their affair going and he's a better liar if they're ever found out. After this stanza it goes back to the first part which hints that he's fallen for her like his other lover who left him and he doesn't want her to leave him. Repeat.
+xirruz There we go! Only explanation thus far that has made sense.
When I first heard this song I thought it was about Halloween... Well, I feel kind of embarrassed now...
I thought so to
I said I didn't like Fall Out Boy and now look at me. My girlfriend has gotten me into them! XD Thank you very much!
I love how if you listen closely, during the chorus you can hear Patrick's shaky breaths :)
I haven't found a song that I don't like yet by these guys!!!
i got a distinctly stan pines twins feel from this huh
+sire411 thanks
this is the greatest song of all time
Im so late and realised that its about the twin towers. :I
Its not about the twin towers.
Ms. Penguin Actually, the fans do not get to decide what the sing is really about. The writers of the song, who understand the lyrics fully, decide what the song is about. And it is not about the twin towers. They have said that.
Alex Motzko re-read my comment. The fans can decide what it means TO THEM. If they think it's about the twin towers then let them.
My ears have been blessed
XD
Can't sleep so here I am getting myself addicted to fall out boy
mom: Stop listening to music and come eat dinner!
me: *plays the Hold on part of this song*
Ok I haven't heard this song in years but here I am mouthing practically every word
i have really bad anxiety and after I listen to this song I feel like a new person thank you fall out boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FoB: *makes a good song*
Fans: *doesn't pay attention to song*
Fans: OMG TH3 TITL3 IS LICK SANS N PAPRYRUS!1!!!1!
I actually love this song. it's one of my personal favourites of their songs. Sans and Papyrus aren't twins anyway.
+Maggie Wright they don't have to be identical to be twins...
+EnderHayley But there's an age difference..
i am in love with this song
did Patrick hve a twin that died and he was telling them to hold on so that they dont die?
WOW, MIND BLOWN
No, this was about Pete’s attempt at suicide. Patrick helped him out of it.
When he hits that high note in the end I get shivers.
Which is your favorite of their songs?
Really.. I can't decide...
Probably all the songs on Infitnity On High. Personally, I'm not a fan of AB\AP except for this song.
Patrick is saying hold on because he is a puppy and hes like, hold on, ill make this basket this time! he fails but hes so adorable while doing it
???????????
(*cough*nico di angelo*cough)
*cough* NICO DI ANGELO *cough*
Oh my gods yes
oh my gods yasss
No di angelo duh
"The chairs are fake and deserves our pity..."
Am I the only one who thinks this song is about the titanic? It was:
1. Going to New York
2. "If you just *hold on*
3 The Titanic sunk on it's first trip ("A birth and a death on the same day")
MAybe it's just me.
Good theory, but the titanic ship wasn't made the same day it sank if that's what you meant, I could be wrong😜
A birth and a death refers to the dying of their fake outer personality and the birth of their genuine inner personality. This happens out of public view, and they put on their fakeness before going back. They hold on until the next time they can be alone together. No towers, no tragedies. It's all depression and identity confusion.
The undertale AMV that had to do with sans and pap is what led me to find this song
I am obsessed with the ending of this song...Anyone else? Just me? Ok gtggtggtggtg
If you lied about the band and said it was Billy Talent, I would have fell for it. I wouldn't even be surprised if the two bands knew each other well enough to have toured together.
Nico di Angelo anybody?
YES OMG YES
omg yes
yaaaas
*sees this while listening to the song in Nico di Angelo cosplay* Bruh
Yussssss
I clicked on this by accident. What a wonderful accident!!! I LOVE FALL OUT BOY!!!!!!
2:01 sounds like Let's Kill Tonight by Panic! At The Disco
+Alx Armstrong agreed
So Halloween. Much spoopy.
I have a feeling this song is about an actual Hotel in New York City that has had a rather shady history. There is a hotel there where many people committed suicide and murder. It is being changed up for the third or fourth time in its history, basically trying to kill the bad omens associated with it. Hence the song saying there's 'a room in a hotel in new york city, that shares our fate and deserves our pity' because its about bad things happening and yet trying to change them. I might be reading too much into this but I am telling the truth about this hotel.
what is the hotel called?
It's the songs like this that make me think, "What was my life before these bands?"
Is it weird I can't stop listing to this?
Don't argue. A song is about whatever you believe it to be about. What it means to you.
some parts sound like let's kill tonight
same, esp at 2:01
Did anyone else notice how his voice shook when he said "on and on"?
There's a hotel room in NYC
The chairs are feet
And deserves our pity.
