It’s been eleven years,damn!

Looking into it now into my formative adult years, the message seems more clear now that I've decided to break it down and think about it some more.---It's easy to get lost in the story isn't it? There's tragedy, but it isn't about one person. It's about the cyclic nature of hypocrisy & condemnation that follows societal nature. It's about everyone. The enemy, the lover, the mother & child .. even you."Do as I say, but not as I do." That's the golden plated mantel most of us wear. How the young are taught 'good values' by people who do not practice such things. How those same people who preach will damn each other all the same. Hate is taught. Enemies are made because you are told they are enemies. You do them wrong because they are enemies. How desirable are those who are considered people pleasers?Opinions of the masses are considered more important than the people closest to you? More than yourself?and so the cycle continues. Those who have gone through the motions realize things far too late. Long after things are said and done. Long after you've lived a life that isn't really one you've decided for yourself, but one you've let yourself become a host to the ideals of others. This is what I believe the song to truly represent.

2019 still here...💘

this is the kind of song that makes you cry out of happiness, but it’s also sad sobbing at the same time??

I just heard I carried carrots for everybody to see and I don't want to know the real lyrics or the lyrics of the whole song because this came on thanks to 'my mix' and I don't want to cry

No talk english

"I saw God cry in the reflection of my enemies" this hits me so F-U-C-K-I-N-G hard it's crazy

When I heard the intro to the song for the first time, I said “oh no... I’m gonna need tissues”

I just bursted into tears wow

*who hurt him?*

then stay gone

Are you afraid of the dark?

i criii very bittersweet,,, i love it when lyrics contrast with the overall vibe

Maybe I'm mixing my scene gods here but there are sections that sound like Brendon Urie. Is Brendon featured on this track? This album?

I gotta learn the harmonies.

2018. C’mon. Welcome back.

Why does this song remind me of the first time I ride a ferris wheel with my grandma

I’m crying❤️😫😭

I used to listen to this when I was 5 not knowing what band it was and later I became a fan of fob and when I heard this song I was flipping wOw

That song actually made me cry so bad.

i dont even know what this song is about im just crying

Mom: *walks into my room and sees me crying*Mom: ARE YOU OKMe: NO, ummm... My eyes are sweating Mom: *slowly backs away*

Why it isnt available now?? Like this is one of my fav song from the fob's music

I'm not a FOB fan, but I love the fuck out of this song.

whats the song about?

I drowned in my tears

this is painful. i'm in pain. send help.

God this is so sad, I love this so much...

how cruel is the golden rule🎤

trying to be real in a world full of fakes, learning to let go of the past when your best memories are your darkest days, and knowing that you can lead an example of character you yourself once misinterpreted. live by that golden rule before your life is a shell of what it could have been.... just my thought listening to many fob songs

"And I saw God cry in the reflection of my enemies"every time, that line hits me like a brick in the face

Reminds me of the outsiders

i seem to have a vastly different interpretation of this song than some of the comments section o.o

wen tha lives we live are only golden plated

How cruel is the golden rule? More like, how cruel is Fall Out Boy for making me cry so much. I've lost like 90% of the water in my body from all this crying.

how to make me cry 101:

..feels 2016

beautiful Patrick has so much emotion to his voice

I'm obsessed w this song

ghey

This song can make me feel pretty much every emotion ive ever felt all together in just 2 and a half minutes

HECK

And people are just sitting there listening to 'my songs know what you did in the dark'. Listen to this!

Plus... i think i will cry T^^^^T

i... idk how many times i watch this video... T^T

Despite the other too-much-emo songs, that's the only thing of the band I can bear today.Piano and voice sounds old but good still. That's the best underrated song imo.

How cruel is the golden rule?

Fob sucks and this song is ok

Any TMI fans out there? I imagine this song is what Jonathan is singing at the very end of the book when the demon was burned out of him and he had green eyes, and he was talking about how he was when he was "Sebastian" "and all of the mothers raise their babies, to stay away from me... and pray they don't grow up to be" gets me every time

damn.

I'm crafting right now.

I don't understand the meaning of this song. Can anyone tell me?

💋👌

I don't really begin to cry until I hear "all of the mothers raise their babies to stay away from me" because that's how my parents raised me. my mom wanted for me to listen to mainstream pop or and my dad wanted classic rock, not this. but if it weren't for music like this I'm not sure I'd even be alive. fall out boy means so much to me. they are one of the things keeping me alive.

It's crazy how I don't know the meaning behind the lyrics, but I do know that the true meaning will make me cry if I knew

what I'm not crying. my eyes are sweating.... ╥﹏╥

This song is about being different and misunderstood. Somebody could be golden and amazing but others do not see it and do not appreciate it. I didn't understand this as a child about 8 years ago, but now the lyrics finally have meaning to me after being a teen.

I didn't realise I was crying until I opened my eyes

this is the kind of song you just have to sit back and let the music seep through your soul.

These lyrics are so profound, and they could probably be interpreted eleventeendy-seven different ways at least..... I'm learning to sing this X3

This is actually a good song. Crazy that today is the first day I heard it. It has a John Legend feel to it, weird I know.

I've always maybe understood only half of this. And just considered it "beautiful" and that was it. But while I was lying awake yesterday night, a thought struck me that I think makes me understand what they mean. At least now more of these lyrics mean something to me. And it's not pretty. Because it means I am somebody people pray not to become and stay away from, even though I always try to do good by everyone.

This song, in my opinion, sounds better live.

this is one off my favourites

This song is so good.

My favorite song by them. It's a shame it's not more popular...

maan.. i really don't understand... but i think that it's so cooool
