Ladies and gentlemen, due to circumstances beyond our control
We are unable to continue our broadcast of dance music
We shall continue now with our piano instrumental




Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Panic! At The Disco's song Intermission are quite self-explanatory. The song is a brief instrumental interlude that lasts just over one minute and consists solely of piano music. The lyrics themselves are a spoken-word introduction to the song, announcing that there is a problem preventing the broadcast of dance music and informing the listener that instead, they will hear a piano instrumental.


However, the actual meaning behind these lyrics is open to interpretation. Some might view it as a humorous break in the album's intense tracklist, while others might read deeper into the notion of circumstances beyond one's control preventing the continuation of something. It could even symbolize the idea that sometimes in life, we must take a break from the fast-paced dance of life and slow down to appreciate the beauty of something as simple as piano music.


Overall, "Intermission" can be seen as a palate cleanser for Panic! At The Disco's album, a brief moment between songs where the listener can catch their breath and prepare for what's coming next. It might not be the most profound track on the album, but it serves an important purpose in creating an overall listening experience that is both enjoyable and well thought out.

"You don't love me anymore"

"Stop with that babe, you're paranoid"

"Well what am I supposed to think? Every night you go out with your friends to those.... illegal strip clubs!"

"I told you before babe, I ain't going to no illegal clubs. I gotta go to work to pay for this dumpy apartment. Now stop your complaining cause I gotta go."

"No, don't go"

"I gotta go"

First time I listened to this I gotta say I got a little freaked/creeped out when the piano bit speeds up and the background instruments get more intense cos it sounded like horror movie atmospheric music.

@allyrenn
