The song "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" by Panic! at the Disco talks about a scene at a wedding where the singer happens to be present. As he paces up and down the church corridor, he overhears a conversation between a bridesmaid and a waiter. The bridesmaid remarks about how beautiful the wedding is, but expresses her disappointment that the poor groom's bride is a whore. The singer chimes in with "Haven't you people ever heard of closing the goddamn door?", suggesting that the conversation shouldn't have been taking place in the open. He then advises that it is better to handle such situations calmly and rationally.
The song then goes on to talk about how the singer looks at the situation from a different perspective. He implies that the wedding was almost destroyed because of the news about the bride's infidelity, but now, with the guests unaware of it, the marriage can be saved. He calls for a toast in celebration of this.
The song highlights the singer's calm and rational approach towards difficult situations. He believes that it is better to avoid making a scene and reacting impulsively, and instead, confront challenges with a sense of poise and reason.
