Throw Your Cameras In The Air, And Wave 'em Like You Just Don't Care

Alright. The post Keltie-Ryan break up has got me seriously freaking out, because I listened to Folkin' Around today...and if Ryan was cheating on Keltie with who I think he was....*coughbrendoncough*, then this will make perfect sense. Everyone remember that Folkin' Around was written by Brendon? So here's my interpetation of the lyrics.

Allow me to exaggerate a memory or two
Where summers lasted longer than
Longer than we do
Where nothing really mattered except for me to be with you

When all of the boys went up to the mountains, they didn't bring anybody with them, they didn't go anywhere. They stayed hold up in there, where nothing mattered except for the music and each other. It also seemed to be forever until they came back, and they left in July. In the summer.

But in time, we all forgot, and we all grew.

Panic "grew up", in their own words. They dropped the eyeliner and skinny jeans and band tees and Converse for a more hippie/country style. Many of us still mourn the Ryliner....*tear* They seemed to forget who they started out to be. Which isn't a bad thing...

Your melody sounds as sweet
As the first time it was sung
With a little bit more charecter for show

Ryan keeps on telling people he's happy with Keltie, he's happy with his band, he's happy, he's happy, he's happy. He was happy before, too, it's just now there's more behind it.

And by the time your father's heard of all the wrong you've done
Well, I'm putting out the lantern, find your own way back home.

Ryan's dead father has got a pretty long list, apparently, to hear about everything Ryan's done, good and bad. So Brendon's saying, "You're going to have to choose eventually between me and her. I won't help you, I won't rush you, but you've got to pick."

If I've forgotten how to sing before I've sung this song
I'll write it all across the wall before my job is done

Brendon's telling Ryan, "Hey, if you don't ever pick, I'll tell everyone before we leave the scene, before we go out of style. Everyone will know everything before the end."

And I'll even have the courtesy of admitting I was wrong
As the final words before I'm dead and gone.

Brendon doesn't think he'll have to go to that extreme to get Ryan to choose, but if he does, he'll admit he was wrong before they leave.

You've never been so divine
In accepting your defeat
And I've never been more scared to be alone

Ryan knows he's wrong. He's told Brendon plenty of times, and he's perfected how he's done it now so Brendon feels for him every time. Brendon's scared to be without Ryan, and he can't help that he loves him. He just can't help it.

If love is not enough to put my enemies to sleep
Well, I'm putting out the lantern, find your own way back home.

This is Brendon saying, "Ryan, you're going to have to eventually pick me or her. Make up your mind, I'm not helping you, but you have to pick." He never did seem to like Keltie much...

THAT'S JUST MY INTERPETATION. If you think I'm a complete wack-job and that this makes NO SENSE, that's okay.

I'm a die-hard Rydon lover, mkay? My fantasy is finally coming true. Maybe. I mean, who else would it be?
