starlightgirl Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 (edited) I can not figure out the meaning to this one. Does anyone know? "The Take Over, The Breaks Over" By Fall Out Boy Baby, seasons change but people don't. And I'll always be waiting in the back room. I'm boring but overcompensate with Headlines and flash, flash, flash photography. But don't pretend you ever forgot about me. Don't pretend you ever forgot about me. Wouldn't you rather be a widow than a divorcee? Style your wake for fashion magazines. Widow or a divorcee? Don't pretend, d-d-d-don't pretend. We don't fight fair. We don't fight fair. They say your head can be a prison. Then these are just conjugal visits. People will dissect us till This doesn't mean a thing anymore. Don't pretend you ever forgot about me. Don't pretend you ever forgot about me. Wouldn't you rather be a widow than a divorcee? Style your wake for fashion magazines, ohhh. Widow or a divorcee? Don't pretend, d-d-d-don't pretend. We do it in the dark with smiles on our faces. We're dropped and well concealed in secret places, woah. We do it in the dark with smiles on our faces. We're dropped and well concealed in secret places We don't fight fair. We don't fight fair. We don't fight fair. We don't fight fair. We don't fight fair. We do it in the dark with smiles on our faces. We're dropped and well concealed in secret places, woah. We do it in the dark with smiles on our faces. We're dropped and well concealed in secret places. We don't fight fair. With smiles on our faces. We're dropped and well concealed in secret places. We don't fight fair. Don't pretend you ever forgot about me. We don't fight fair. Don't pretend you ever forgot about me. We don't fight fair.

Farin Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 okay, here's just my first thoughts: he's famous ("I'm boring but overcompensate with Headlines and flash, flash, flash photography."), his wife/girlfriend (who knew him before), wants to leave him, and as I see it, he blackmails her to stay with him... maybe he threatenes to hurt or kill himself should she leave ("Wouldn't you rather be a widow than a divorcee?" and "We don't fight fair.") as I said, just my first thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 my first thoughts are it's about living in the industry. They can't ever get together without people taking their pictures, they are subject to whatever stories are printed about them that people believe, so she's a "widow" because she's never able to be with him in private (I used to call myself a golf widow because my [now ex-] husband was always golfing), but it's better to be a paparazzi widow than a real divorcee. "We don't fight fair with smiles on our faces" is them smiling for the photogs all the time, not letting them see how things really are, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
