Panic at the Disco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We are unable to continue our broadcast of dance music
We shall continue now with our piano instrumental
The lyrics of Panic at the Disco's song Intermission are a literal announcement that was once commonly made on the radio when there were technical issues that interrupted the broadcasting of music. The announcement explains that the issue which prevents the radio station from continuing playing dance music is out of their control. In this context, it’s a metaphor for the struggles that anyone can go through in their lives that may impact their ability to continue with what they love doing or even living a normal life. The announcement may be a message of hope that even though the station is unable to continue with the dance music, they will not give up and will continue with their instrumentals. It’s a message of resilience that even though circumstances beyond our control may interrupt us it is important to keep going and doing what we can.
Overall, the lyrics of Intermission are simple yet powerful. They can be interpreted in different ways by different people, but they are undoubtedly thought-provoking. They remind us that we have to keep going no matter what we are going through because life goes on.

"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"
*Brendon kisses the girls cheek*
"And don't wait up for me"

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.
