![]() "I set my expectations high, so nothing ever comes out right." His "I'm being an asshole but I won't stop" feeling, is out weighing his "I'm so smooth no lady can resist me" feeling. "Our consciences are always so much heavier than our egos." He knows that his mind won't leave him alone until this stops, and he knows it going to end badly. "It's almost lke I've found a friend who's in it for the bitter end." The "devil" is his conscience which is telling him that this is a really asshole-y thing to do. This guy was tired of being single, so he started to bounce around women sleeping with one one night, another the next. "I got so sick of being on my own, Now the devil won't leave me alone." Here's what I think, though I could be completely wrong: The last chorus probably means that he isn’t giving up quite yet, leaving the song with a rather ambiguous ending. “Shooting stars watch me fall apart tonight” probably points to the fact that this conflict between himself is stressing him out and tearing him up inside. “A heavy heart on the boulevard tonight” probably symbolizes him considering giving up, and that’s making him melancholic. The lines before the chorus and the chorus itself still mean the same thing. “I need a little sympathy to sore my insecurities” references the fact that he’s hoping for outside help because he feels helpless. “So sick of wasting all my time, how in God’s name did I survive” probably references the fact that he knows he needs to get out of his friend group, and him wondering why they haven’t done anything troublesome yet. The chorus as a whole probably symbolizes his desire for real friends, and his daydream of leaving his old friends behind to spare himself from trouble. “But who needs time” may symbolize how he knows he may not have that much time before his friend group does something wrong. “So shoot a star on the boulevard tonight, I think I’ll figure it out with a little more time” may symbolize his wish for being better, and that he is trying his hardest to break away from the friend group. “I set my expectations high, so nothing ever comes out right” may mean that he expected better out of his friends and out of himself. “Our consciences are always so much heavier than our egos” may signify that he feels guilty for joining the wrong group of friends, but it feels crushing to know that he was wrong. “It’s almost like I found a friend who’s in it for the bitter end” may symbolize how if those people he made friends with get in trouble, then he will too. ![]() “I got so sick of being on my own, now the devil won’t leave me alone” may be a hint towards the fact that the singer made friends with the wrong crowd because he was desperate just to have a friend. By the end of the Brendan Walter-directed video, four kids stand in front of a cardboard car engulfed in fake flames, departing one by one until a dejected young boy is left standing on his own.I interpret this as a song about how it may be better to be alone. Meanwhile, a masked figure is lingering outside the car door. Suddenly, Urie flashes back to shared laughter on late-night drives that descend into arguments before they’ve ever arrived. “Any beat from your heart gets me through the night/You’re my love, you’re my death, you’re my alibi/Say this isn’t goodbye.” “A lady comes and tells me that I’ve got to leave/Right away everybody is the enemy/Deep breaths from the room where I watch you lie,” he sings on the Seventies-channeling soft rock track. While Urie tries to keep his focus on the road while driving, his mind won’t stop conjuring the image of a woman in the backseat of his car who fades as quickly as she arrives. In the music video for their latest single, “Don’t Let The Light Go Out,” Panic! at the Disco’s Brendon Urie is haunted by the looming presence of grief stemming from a relationship that hasn’t yet died. ![]()
