Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And 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 and?
Please, leave all over coats, canes and top hats with the doorman
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 and?
When you're in black slacks with accentuating off-white pin-stripes whoa oh
Everything goes according to plan
I'm the new cancer, never looked better, you can't stand it
Because you say so under your breath
You're reading lips, when did he get all confident?
Haven't you heard that I'm the new cancer
Never looked better and you can't stand it
Next is a trip to the, the ladies room in vain
And I bet you just can't keep up (keep up) with, withthese fashionistas
And tonight, tonight you are the whispering campaign
I bet to them your name is cheap, I bet to them you look like shh
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
I'm the new cancer, never looked better you can't stand it
Because you say so under your breath
You're reading lips, when did he get all confident?
Haven't you heard that I'm the new cancer
Never looked better and you can't stand it
Haven't you heard that I'm the new cancer?
I've never looked better and you can't stand it
Haven't you heard that I'm the new cancer?
I've never looked better and you can't stand it
And I know, and I know it just doesn't feel like a night out
With no one sizing you up
I've never been so surreptitious
So of course I'll be distracted when I spike the punch
And I know, and I know it just doesn't feel like a night out
With no one sizing you up
I've never been so surreptitious
So of course I'll be distracted when I spike the punch
And I know, and I know it just doesn't feel like a night out
With no one sizing you up
I've never been so surreptitious
So of course I'll be distracted when I spike the punch
The lyrics to Panic! at the Disco's song There's a Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey You Just... are about a person at a fancy banquet who is reveling in their own destruction of the event. They tell everyone to leave their coats, canes, and top hats with the doorman, making them feel underdressed as they are dressed in black slacks with off-white pin-stripes. The person is ruining the banquet and loving every minute of it, and they are referred to as the new cancer, never looking better, and confident.
The person sings about how they are the center of attention in the ladies' room and that people talk behind their back about them. They smoke cigarettes laced with nitroglycerin and are proud of being the new cancer. The line "And I know it just doesn't feel like a night out, with no one sizing you up" suggests that the person is seeking attention and drama at the event, to the point of spiking the punch.
Overall, the song portrays a character who is destructive, narcissistic, and seeking attention. The lyrics are ironic in that they juxtapose the elegant setting of a banquet with the chaotic and destructive behavior of the person.
Line by Line Meaning
Please, leave all over coats, canes and top hats with the doorman
Let go of all your pretensions and facade before entering, we don't need that here.
And from that moment, you'll be out of place and underdressed
Once you enter, it's either you keep up or you get left behind.
I'm wrecking this evening already and loving every minute of it
I'm causing chaos, and I'm having the time of my life doing it.
Ruining this banquet for the mildly inspiring and?
I'm destroying this event for the unimaginative and mediocre people who attend.
When you're in black slacks with accentuating off-white pin-stripes whoa oh
Everything goes according to plan
When you're perfectly dressed to impress, everything will fall into place.
I'm the new cancer, never looked better, you can't stand it
Because you say so under your breath
You're reading lips, when did he get all confident?
I'm a destructive force but an irresistible one who's unapologetically confident.
Haven't you heard that I'm the new cancer
Never looked better and you can't stand it
I am a disease taking over the industry and the world, and you hate how good I look while doing it.
Next is a trip to the, the ladies room in vain
And I bet you just can't keep up (keep up) with, with these fashionistas
And tonight, tonight you are the whispering campaign
I bet to them your name is cheap, I bet to them you look like shh
You can't even keep up with us, and tonight we're talking about how inferior you are because you just can't compare to our fabulousness.
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
You can't handle me, so you resort to talking to yourself in the mirror. Also, watch out, those cigarettes are dangerous.
And I know, and I know it just doesn't feel like a night out
With no one sizing you up
I've never been so surreptitious
So of course I'll be distracted when I spike the punch
It's not a proper night out if nobody is judging you. And just to spice things up, I spiked the punch with my surreptitious ways.
Haven't you heard that I'm the new cancer?
I've never looked better and you can't stand it
I am a rising threat, and you hate how irresistibly attractive and powerful I am becoming.
