#i've got a dark alley and a bad idea that says you should shut your mouth
Text
i'm watching the medley on loop and, as @pixelatedquarter pointed out, you can barely tell if patrick sings "trust and love and--"
and, like:
of course he's the safe place for pete's words, he sings this line hopelessly hopeful, like, literally sonically, it's hard to be sure if he leaves hope out or includes it (and patrick stump loves through music)
and, also, isn't that what hope is? the echo of a word as yet unsung? the space in the music where you can write yourself in, the incomplete art, the 'surely i must stay, if only to see what i can make'
#i've got a dark alley and a bad idea that says you should shut your mouth#so much (for) tour dust#lyrics medley#fob#tourdust spoilers

I tried to be very good and not spam this playlist with Fall Out Boy, since I put so much into the Rock On playlist, so I will just go with one that didn't make it onto that one.

What are some of your favorite aro-/ace-coded fob lyrics?
oh fuck yes a little bowl of seeds just for me
boycott love from disloyal order of water buffaloes is a personal favorite of mine. its a lyric i really really want tattooed at some point. that's not the only lyric i latch onto from an aro perspective but it's probably the biggest one
basically the entirety of it's hard to say "i do" when i don't but a special mention goes to you are appealing to emotions that i simply do not have as well as the only ring i want buried with me are the ones around my eyes
it's true romance is dead / i shot it in the chest and in the head from the music or the misery is also a favorite of mine, also just that whole song in general
i thought i loved you but it was just how you looked in the light in hum hallelujah resonates with a lot of queer folks i've found, and it's no different for me
same goes for it's a strange way of saying that i know i'm supposed to love you from g.i.n.a.s.f.s.
i'm outside the door, invite me in / so we can go back and play pretend from alone together brings me back to when i was trying to perform heteronormativity/amatonormativity even if it was making me miserable
i also hold to a very similar vibe with she said "i love you 'till i don't" / i am just playing house, no idea what i'm doing now from sunshine riptide and also most of burna boy's verse, frankly. i fell in love but i didn't fall down and feel like i'm bulletproof, baby in particular
american beauty/american psycho, particularly the first verse. i think i fell in love again / maybe i just took too much cough medicine
golden is a big one for queer folks in general i've found. the chorus especially hits hard from an aro and/or ace reading. and i saw god cry in the reflection of my enemies / and all the lovers with no time for me
i've got a dark alley and a bad idea that says you should shut your mouth is a heavy song no matter how you slice it. but that chorus gets to me in particular: we can fake it for the airwaves / force our smiles, baby, half-dead / from comparing myself to everyone else around me
the kids aren't alright reads to me as one big anthem for platonic love above anything romantic, which resonates super hard with me. the second verse has a lot of good lines that i latch onto from an aroace lens too. your love is anemic and i can't believe / that you couldn't see it coming from me
pretty much the whole chorus of HOLD ME TIGHT OR DON'T does it for me, and those verses have got some good aroallo vibes too! i never really feel a thing... confidants but never friends...
the whole of fake out is a gimme. that chorus rings real true. starts with love is in the air, i just gotta find a window to break out and finishing with but it was all a fake-out
i've got all this ringing in my ears and none on my fingers is one that has another highly applicable title but the whole refrain of the truth hurts worse / than anything i could bring myself to do to you paired with the one-two punch of that second verse REALLY gets under my skin
and of course, the culminating one: you are what you love, not who loves you from save rock and roll. obviously there are a LOT of ways to read that line
there are a couple other songs i latch onto - wilson (expensive mistakes); a little less "sixteen candles", a little more "touch me"; the (after) life of the party to name a few - but the ones listed above are the big lyrics that resonate with me on a personal level
just in general i have a shitton of fob over on my aro playlist (which doubles as a general aroace/queer playlist but has a lot of emphasis on aromanticism) in case i forgot to mention anything but like i said those are the big ones
#askin hours#anon#happy aro awareness week lol ive had this in my drafts for mONTHS and forgot about it#sorry it took so long to answer i have a million asks in my inbox and just do not have time most days#go listen to aromanticism by moses sumney for black history month and aro awareness week btw#now THAT there is an album that rewrote my neural chemistry

What Do You Need To Let Go Of?
Hello !! I am Sierra an intuitive tarot reader. I hope you enjoy this reading and gain some insight from it. Please remember that YOU are the master of your destiny and have the power to change and overcome any obstacles in your way. If the reading resonated and you would like a private reading please message me !!
pile 1
pile 2
pile 3
───────────────.₊˚⊹.──────────────
Pile 1
King of Pentacles (r), The Hierophant (r), The Moon
Pile 1, you like to look at the bigger picture and see how things look in broader, general terms. But this could be preventing you from seeing the smaller victories in your life. Spirit calls you to leave some stones unturned and enjoy the journey. With the Hierophant in reverse, you might feel stuck in pursuing a traditional path, try and let go of this expectation. With two major arcana cards here, I feel like something major wants to come through but requires you to just live in the smaller moments and try and take life at a slower pace. This may seem antithetical but slowing down and appreciating the small things, or stepping out of routine could help speed up your manifestations !! That will help you step into the abundance of the King of Pentacles.
With the moon, the sense that you need to let go and let the universe do its thing is really strong. Some things you just don't need to know.
If ur anything like me this can be really frustrating because I just really want to know and be in control so letting go seems so hard.
Advice:
ask spirit for help -- i just got on my knees and surrendered my desires, maybe you can try something similar if you feel called to
Be spontaneous -- I did this today and just explored my city after my lecture, it is sooo unlike me to be spontaneous but it was so fun !!
Other messages/ confirmation:
citrine crystals, sunny skies, Pisces, INFJ or INTP personality types, summer, Tokyo, lemons
Song:
I've Got a Dark Alley and a Bad Idea That Says You Should Shut Your Mouth (Summer Song) By Fall Out Boy
Thank you, Pile 1. Please take whatever resonated and leave what did not. Message me for private readings !!
───────────────.₊˚⊹.──────────────
Pile 2
8 of pentacles, 9 of Cups, 9 of Swords (r)
Pile 2, you are working towards building your self-concept with this 9 of Cups. But with the 9 of Swords, I can sense that it may be bringing on more insecurity than positivity. My face got really flushed all of a sudden so I think it could be making you feel kind of out of place or shy because you want to stand out and be a badass but you are finding it to be outside of your nature.
Pile 2 Spirit wants to tell you to be that badass !!! You might find it hard but I think you are going to find that nobody is judging you and that you are in a safe place to explore who you are and what style you want to adopt. Also, being basic is not a bad thing. You do not need to conform to trends to be perceived as a badass/ queen/ whatever term makes you feel confident. Also, do not conform to whatever people or society tell you is right. On days you want to be more revealing, do it and if not then don't. You will rock it either way
The 8 of Pentacles is telling me that you just need to let go of the need to be instantly good at something. This could be school work, a skill or even finding your sense of style. Take your time to explore and work at it.
Being patient and kind to yourself will help with the insecurity and anxiety you may be feeling.
This was lots of advice, so I will skip to additional messages:
red cheeks, amethyst, poodles, bows, Pinterest, Scorpio
Songs:
Lady Gaga - Free Woman (Rina Sawayama & Clarence Clarity Remix) & Celebrity Skin by Hole
Thank you, Pile 2. Please take whatever resonated and leave what did not. Message me for private readings !!
───────────────.₊˚⊹.──────────────
Pile 3
4 of pentacles (r), ace of cups (r), 8 of wands
Pile 3, why are you so scared? What is the worst that can happen?
I feel like I need to reassure you that everything will be okay. I sense a new beginning or a desire for one. Maybe you want a fresh start or are being thrust into something new that you didn't want. I sense a great fear and a clutching of the past. This could be deliberate or not. Either way, let go !! The fear is in your mind, it is an illusion. What you want or what you are getting may not happen how you envisioned, with the reversal of the ace of cups but that is not a bad thing. The universe knows better and will lead you to your best path. Once you release your fear, things will start happening and you are going to be so blessed !!
This group does not struggle with letting go so much as fearing what is coming. Some advice is to explore the feeling. If you can't journal, just speak to yourself or whatever comes naturally. Explore the fear and try to find its roots. This may take some time but stick with it.
That is the main thing you need to let go of honestly. I don't see too many blockages here. Go you !!
Other messages/ confirmation: (these are cloud readings, I felt called to read the clouds,, this may mean something to you or Spirit could encourage you to do the same !!)
dog chasing a ball, scurrying rats, guinea pig sleeping, goldfish, dolphin
-> not sure why they are ALL animals, but pets or animals could be significant to you
Song:
Linger by The Cranberries
Thank you, Pile 3. Please take whatever resonated and leave what did not. Message me for private readings !!

do you have a playlist of peterick songs 🩷
I don't actually have a playlist (my playlist is All Fall Out Boy Songs in one massive jumble lolol and MAYBE THAT IS THE PETERICK PLAYLIST) and I don't think I've really been asked this question before, but here's what I would say are my top Peterick songs:
Saturday: This is for obvious reasons for anyone who's been around, but if you're brand new here, the lyrics are Saturday are explicitly about the Patrick-and-Pete relationship ("Pete and I attacked the Lost Astoria with promise and precision and a mess of youthful innocence" / "Me and Pete, in the wake of Saturday"). They've said it's the first song they felt like they successfully collaborated on without throwing punches at each other lol. They play it at the end of almost every single concert and Pete abandons his bass to stand right by Patrick before he wanders out into the crowd. Sometimes he puts his elbow on Patrick's shoulder and shimmies his hip. They also, when they perform it, make sure to shout "more than an hour" at each other, no matter where they are on stage (and they are COMMITTED to this bit, we've seen them almost miss it on this tour and scramble to make the eye contact). Patrick also always points to Pete wherever he is on the stage when he sings "Pete and I," so we're clear who he's singing about. It's charming. Also, in the video, Pete and Patrick turn out to be the same person, and...let's just leave that there for now.
It's Not a Side Effect of the Cocaine, I Am Thinking It Must Be Love: The lyrics of this song are absolutely wild. "Why can you read me like no one else? I hide behind these words, but I'm coming out." For real, Pete Wentz? "We'll make them so jealous, we'll make them hate us." REPEATED MANY TIMES. Ugh. "Think of all the places where you've been lost and found...out." REPEATED TWICE. With so much emphasis on being found out. Not just found, the word always hangs as the would-be conclusion, and then the out is such a definitive stamp at the end. I don't know what these lyrics are other than wrestling with the fact that you're in love with your best friend and wondering about your sexuality, just saying lol
I've Got a Dark Alley and a Bad Idea That Says You Should Shut Your Mouth (Summer Song): I know that other people have other interpretations of this song, but to me "joke me something awful just like kisses on the necks of 'best friends'" is super Peterick-coded. Also the parenthetical of "Summer Song," again, I know other people have other interpretations but to me Patrick is always represented by summer in Pete's lyrics (the way he is also sunshine and golden).
7 Minutes in Heaven (Atavan Halen): I have an interpretation in this song that Patrick is the "you" in it. Patrick is the star he's trying to fixate on while his world is falling apart, Patrick is the one thing he wants to focus on to keep everything else out. Trying to forget everything that isn't Patrick, only it's not-working-not-working-not-working. "The only thing worse than not knowing is you thinking that I don't know": The way that Pete thought he had to be the Leader of this band, take care of this kid he'd forced into being the singer, and so even when he's a complete mess he's got to hold it together so Patrick doesn't realize it.
The (After) Life of the Party: I know what the official lyrics say but I've never heard Patrick sing that refrain clearly enough to convince me he's saying "cut it loose" instead of "could it last," and to me this song is the quintessential social butterfly / favorite dynamic, which is the Pete&Patrick dynamic. "Watch you work the room / could it last." Watch you blossom, will I lose you?
Disloyal Order of Water Buffaloes: In Pete's own words, this is a song about anyone you feel close to. Sometimes for him it was a girl, but honestly, sometimes it's Patrick. So. Here's a song about Patrick, according to Pete Wentz. I'm half-doomed and you're semi-sweet.
What a Catch, Donnie: The song Pete explicitly wrote for Patrick. "All I can think of is the way I'm the one who charmed the one who gave up on you." In my head, this convoluted sentence is Patrick struck by how much Pete is charmed by him, and how much Pete gives up on himself. Also, the video has Pete putting himself on a sinking ship and leaving Patrick with all their friends as they shove off into the hiatus and whatever, I can't deal with any of this hahaha. THE SONG ENDS WITH A MEDLEY OF THEIR GREATEST HITS TOGETHER, whatever, this stupid song, I honestly thought the fact that this was the last single before hiatus had to be made up lol
"From Now On, We Are Enemies": A hiatus-era release titled for a movie about an intense artistic relationship. A refrain that's about the composer who's never composed who has to sing the symphonies of the overdosed. And the problem is they only want what they can't have.
Miss Missing You: The song in which Patrick sings about being saved by hot whiskey eyes. Please Google "hot whiskey," and then take a look at Pete Wentz's eyes. This is another thing I can't deal with lol. Also, the "miss missing you" is an explicit response to a poem Pete wrote to Patrick before the hiatus, in which Pete said, "I miss you missing me." Patrick responds with the song, "I miss missing you." THESE TWO.
The Kids Aren't Alright: First of all, they very frequently and consistently have referred to their fans as "the kids" since day one, so there's that. Which kids aren't alright? Ours. Shut up. "And in the end, I'd do it all again, I think you're my best friend." WHATEVER.
Fourth of July: Again, I know other people have different interpretations of this song, but for me this song is soooo Peterick. It's the summer reference again, but it's also hiatus-y to me. "We were fireworks that went off too soon." "I said I'd never miss you but I guess you never know." Pete got vicious and angry heading into hiatus and burned everything down, but you know what? "May the bridges I have burned light my way back home." "Oh, I'm sorry I didn't mean any of it." I could go on and on about this song, I love the words to this song, but I just want to say, "I'm sorry every song's about you," is just...a lot. And then followed by "the torture of small talk with someone you used to love," and if that doesn't smack of the awkward end of the hiatus, Idk.
Twin Skeleton's (Hotel in NYC): There is a LOT in AB/AP, a LOT that these boys seem to be working through, and it's a lot of hiatus feelings, and this song always makes me think of everything breaking down. "I need a new partner in crime, and you -- you shrug"????? THIS LINE KILLS ME EVERY SINGLE TIME. And it's really a song about trying to hold everything together ("hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on," it says over and over) but everything is still falling apart into dramatics ("I can just die laughing on your spiral of shame" is another line that hits like a slap in the face).
Bishops Knife Trick: Pete Wentz in the early 2000s, famously: I'm only gay from the waist up. Pete Wentz in the late 2010s, in a lyric: I'm in spiritual revolt from the waist down. Honestly, enough said.
Hold Me Like a Grudge: With that "thaw out my freezer-burn feelings from 20 summers" early on, this song is setting us up for being a song at least about Fall Out Boy, but "part-time soulmate, full-time problem" sounds like it's probably just about one person lol.
Heaven, Iowa: This song is a love song and to me it's their love song and that's just all I have to say actually hahahaha.
Okay, this was quick, I'm sure people have more! The joy is how ambiguously the lyrics can all be interpreted.
