Fall Out Boy - From Now On We Are Enemies Lyrics

Artist: Fall Out Boy

Album: Believers Never Die: Greatest Hits

Genre: Rock

  • Songwriters: Patrick Stump, Pete Wentz

I just want to be better
Than your head's only medicine

A downward spiral just a pirouette
Getting worse 'til there's nothing left
What good comes of something
When I'm just the ghost of nothing?

I'm just the man on the balcony singing
Nobody will ever remember me
Rejoice, rejoice and fall to your knees
(For a)

Lunatic of a God or a God of a lunatic?
Oh, their faces are dancing
They're dancing 'til, 'til they can't stand it

A composer but never composed
Singing the symphonies of the overdosed
A composer but never composed, singing
I only want what I can't have

Heralded as a king before I had a birthday
With double digits
Fit the crown to my head but I was only a kid

I'm just the man on the balcony singing
Nobody will ever remember me
Rejoice, rejoice and fall to your knees
(For a)

Lunatic of a God or a God of a lunatic?
Oh, their faces are dancing
They're dancing 'til, 'til they can't stand it

A composer but never composed
Singing the symphonies of the overdosed
A composer but never composed
Singing, I only want what I can't have

I just want to be better
Than your head's only medicine

I'm just the man on the balcony singing
Nobody will ever remember me
Rejoice, rejoice and fall to your knees
(For a)

Lunatic of a God or a God of a lunatic?
Oh, their faces are dancing
They're dancing 'til, 'til they can't stand it

A composer but never composed
Singing the symphonies of the overdosed
A composer but never composed
Singing, I only want what I can't have

    even if they are breaking up,they're music kind of eased into it. i'm not dissing theyre new stuff im just saying what do you expect; petes got a kid. anyways, this is my favorite of their newest songs.

    there not breaking up they are just simply taking a break Pete addressed it. they are just i guess trying to keep fresh for us fans so they are taking a small break for that. nothing is going between the band.

    More specifically, a conversation between Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Antonio Salieri, like the movie Amadeus, which is where the title is taken from. "features lyrics that act as a conversation between Salieri and Mozart"-from the wikipedia page for that movie.

    To me, looking at the lyrics, it looks like they're talking about Jesus and Pontius Pilate. Maybe a discussion between them. But think about it, "Heralded as a king before I had a birthday with double digits", and Pilate's the man on the balcony. Or at least that seems like part of it. There is all the talk of God and rejoicing, too. Or maybe they're comparing something to that.

    its been confirmed by pete wentz that this is not about him and patrick, its not about panic at the disco and its not about michael jackson, it's simply about two people having a back and forth conversation.
