Fueled By Ramen
Panic! at the Disco Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I think we have an emergency
I think we have an emergency
If you thought I'd leave, then you were wrong
'Cause I won't stop holding on

So are you listening?
So are you watching me?
If you thought I'd leave, then you were wrong
'Cause I won't stop holding on

This is an emergency
So are you listening?
And I can't pretend that I don't see this
But it's really not your fault
That no one cares to talk about it, to talk about it

'Cause I've seen love die way too many times
When it deserved to be alive (when it deserved to be alive)
And I've seen you cry way too many times
When you deserved to be alive, alive

So you give up every chance you get
Just to feel new again

I think we have an emergency
I think we have an emergency
And you do your best to show me love
But you don't know what love is

So are you listening?
So are you watching me?
Well, I can't pretend that I don't see this
But it's really not your fault
That no one cares to talk about it, to talk about it

'Cause I've seen love die way too many times
When it deserved to be alive (when it deserved to be alive)
And I've seen you cry way too many times
When you deserved to be alive, alive

The scars, they will not fade away

And no one cares to talk about it, to talk about it

'Cause I've seen love die way too many times
When it deserved to be alive (when it deserved to be alive)




And I've seen you cry way too many times
When you deserved to be alive, alive

Overall Meaning

The song “Emergency” by Panic! at the Disco is a powerful and emotional track that is full of meaning. The song is about love and the many ways that it can be taken for granted or lost. It speaks to the pain and sadness that can happen when love is lost, and the need for people to talk about their feelings and emotions.


The song starts off with the lyrics “I think we have an emergency,” which sets the tone for the rest of the song. The lead singer is telling his partner that there is something wrong and that they need to take action. He talks about how he won't stop holding on even though it may seem like he's leaving. He then asks if she is listening or watching because he needs her to understand the urgency of the situation.


The chorus is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing how important the message is. The verse about the scars not fading away suggests that the pain and hurt caused by losing love is something that stays with a person for a long time. The song is an emotional plea for people to talk about their feelings and not let love die.

[Intro]
(Double-double-double down, pushing it all in)
Finders keepers, losers weepers
(Double-double-double down, pushing it all in)

[Verse 1]
Welcome to the end of eras, ice has melted back to life
Done my time and served my sentence
Dress me up and watch me die
If it feels good, tastes good, it must be mine
Dynasty decapitated, you just might see a ghost tonight

[Pre-Chorus]
(Double-double-double down, pushing it all in)
And if you don't know, now you know

[Chorus]
I'm taking back the crown
I'm all dressed up and naked
I see what's mine and take it
(Finders keepers, losers weepers), oh yeah
The crown, so close, I can taste it
I see what's mine and take it
(Finders keepers, losers weepers), oh yeah
(Double-double-double down, pushing it all in)

[Verse 2]
Sycophants on velvet sofas, lavish mansions, vintage wine
I am so much more than royal
Snatch your chain and mace your eyes
If it feels good, tastes good, it must be mine
Heroes always get remembered, but you know legends never die

[Pre-Chorus]
(Double-double-double down, pushing it all in)
And if you don't know, now you know

[Chorus]
I'm taking back the crown
I'm all dressed up and naked
I see what's mine and take it
(Finders keepers, losers weepers), oh, yeah
The crown, so close, I can taste it
I see what's mine and take it
(Finders keepers, losers weepers), oh, yeah

[Bridge]
Mortal kings are ruling castles
Welcome to my world of fun
Liars settle into sockets
Flip the switch and watch them run
Oh, yeah, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
(Finders keepers, losers weepers)

[Chorus]
I'm taking back, back, taking back, back the crown
I'm all dressed up and naked
I see what's mine and take it
(Finders keepers, losers weepers), oh, yeah
The crown, so close, I can taste it
I see what's mine and take it
(Finders keepers, losers weepers), oh, yeah

[Outro]
Finders keepers, losers weepers
(Double-double-double down, pushing it all in)
Finders keepers, losers weepers
(Double-double-double down, pushing it all in)

They probably wanted “ME!” Brendon.

@nobodycaresaboutthis9736

Such a shame. It doesn't take away from his singing skills, but when your in a song where an official line is "Spelling is fun!", that is when you know your falling off a bit.
