  • This song... I don't know how to describe what this does to me. But somewhere inside me, it pulls me. I don't know where, why, or how. But this song is working in me.

  • Let's ask Wes Eisold what it's about, shall we?

  • This song always makes me want to cry.</3

  • This song is way too short.

  • I wanna cry.

  • miss them so much </3

  • It's about religion... He doesn't believe in God and he's talking about how society as a whole doesn't appreciate him. Why else would God be crying? Why would moms raise their babies to stay away from him? How cruel is the Golden Rule? It means Religion.

  • @BishopsCovers No it does mean about being gay. Parents (most being Catholic or Christian) raise there kids to be the same and praise god. God cries because of how cruel society is hurtful to people who are differant. Parents raise there babies to stay away from gays so they know they have a future without being ridiculed. The golden rule is "Treat others the way you want to be treated". Not religion.

  • @MichaelEllisViola how do you explain the line " and though I carried Karrots for everyone to see"?

  • @Manicisthehobo what is "karrots" supposed to be, man? think... gold! and even in the lyrics of the video, it says "karats". but it's actually spelled "carats". he is talking about how people are treating him bad, even though it should be obvious that he just tries to be nice to everybody - carrying carats for everyone to see.

  • @MichaelEllisViola love ur comment!

  • @MichaelEllisViola the way you describe it sounds a lot like it's about gay people after all. but i think the part about parents raising their babies is not about gays but about the golden rule. they don't want their kids to stick around people who adhere to the golden rule. because such idealists give much and get little in return. because the truth is (the lights that are too heavy for him, the lovers with no time) that you're fucked if you live by the golden rule.

  • @MichaelEllisViola oh and (this is just my opinion though) - parents don't do it out of pure altruism either. they just want their children to succeed at life. because they want to be able to brag about them or at least not be ashamed of them. and in our society, success is all about the superficial. he who has the most money and the prettiest girlfriend is considered a winner. not the one trying to lead an honorable life.

  • At first I thought it was talking about a dog. You know, those dogs that live in the streets or got lost. Now I'm just trying to find a personal meaning.

  • Comment removed

  • this is my sad song :(

    

  • Too all of you debating as to if this is about gay marriage, you're reading much too far into this.

    It's about changing a lightbulb. Sorry to short socket you.

  • @Shashanyaara short circuit* :D

  • This song is way too short...but still very good.

  • fall out boy will never die and nor will its believers!!!!!!thunbs up 4 the truth :)

  • Anyone else think petes and asshole for leaving..... but we forgive you please call patrick and give him a hug and get the band back together

  • I've already decided when I was 15 that this song is going to be played at my funeral. It's the perfect song for me. I don't really like slow songs, but this ones my absolute favorite <3

  • 1 of the most timelessly beautiful songs... makes you think... makes you cry... && makes you wanna be a better you!!!

  • @AKASharDonnay Makes me want revenge.

  • Infinity on high is probably my favorite FOB album because of this song. Just saying.

  • Guys! It's not about gay people! It's about a crazy horse lady, cuz she carries carrots for the world to see! :D

  • @VeritasSeek Karats, as in diamonds.

  • @Animefestify >.< I know, I'm just being a smartass.

  • @VeritasSeek It wasn't smart. You were just being an ass.

  • @Animefestify or gold...

  • shivers!

  • Homophobia is gay.

  • @MuffinBracelet frank iero quote <3

  • OMFG EVERYONE JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP AND ENJOY THE MUSIC. PLEASE.

  • at the end its: and pray they dont growp up to be "me"

  • This song is obviously about the grinch, K? Sorted.

  • @DudeOfTheState182 That made my dad. Lmfao.

  • Ok, i think we should ask FOB. this argument is ridiculous!

  • I said *think. That was just my first impression of the song. I believe everyone can have their own interpretations and no one's is more right than anyone else's. I was just typing my thoughts and that was all. But it could very well be about society in general, I just stay open-minded.

  • I totally agree with RavenxRobin. this song isn't just about gay pple, but all the oucasted pple in general. ^^

  • I don't think it's just about this, but I relate it to prostitutes. Just makes sense to me. :/

  • Did'nt i tell you fuck's to jump off a bridge already fucks sake and get your friend's to upload the video just add it on here as a video response :P

  • @13Marto I hope to God you're joking. If you aren't, you obviously have never lost anyone close to you.

  • @13Marto I hope to God you're joking. If you aren't, you obviously have never lost anyone close to you.

  • @Throughthegates1 listen to some mettalica or acdc cheer up life is worth living not sittin over your computer crying to a song made for gay people and there struggle to love COCK

  • @13Marto Actually, Metallica or ACDC doesn't make me cheer up as much as this band does. They're still awesome, don't get me wrong, but still...

    And this song isn't about gay people, to me. It's about their lives.... After all, no mother wants their kids to grow up to be the stereotypical rockstar- a slobby asshole.

  • @Whiteguysable ...I get the point you're defending this song and all...but what in the fuck?!?!?...This song's supposed to be depressing, it doesn't have a beat (Piano doesn't have a beat, dammit), he does need to calm down, and yes- the world is round, but music...does not make it that way, unfortunately...Better spelling would be nice, too. Otherwise, yeah: FOB rules.

  • @About10minuteshere you can take this song however you please. I love the sound of the piano, it makes me happy. FOB does rule and thanks for the corrections. Not to be rude but if you read it over a couple times and went through it, it would make sense. Music helps the worlds be round, it changes personalitys and lifes, and people is what makes the world round and go around.

  • @777Harlequin Agreed.

  • Pete's a pretty underwhelming bass player, but I think he's a severely underrated poet.

  • @13Marto Pat Love's You LmaO Bless u child... GREAT SONG! DON'T CRY THOUGH He Means Alot to Me DON'T DISS HIM OR ANY OF FOB'S MUSIC I'LL CUT YOUR ETHERNET LMaO

  • @13Marto come at me bro...

  • @piscaloni i dont want your come on me thanks

  • @13Marto vice versa if your looking at it that way.

  • @13Marto well one, you must have anger problems or you r very narrowminded. This song isn't depressing, clean your ears. I for one like it because of the beat. You need to calm down and get over yourself. The word "pussy" is very degrading it doesnt reflect good on u to use it. You obvisouly arent getting of that. And tellng someone to kill themself is very heartless and cruel, You should'nt with death upon anyone. And world is round, not straight, all personality and music make it that way. sry

  • @13Marto Shut up and enjoy the music, if you haven't read overly copied Youtube messages.

  • i think its funny how he says "prey tehre kids wont grow up to be like me" yes who would want their child to be a rockstar anyway? overrated! xD lol jk love dis song.

  • beautiful

  • And only fools follow Golden Rules.

  • Suddenly, I'm in the mood to cry my eyes out.

  • this song is rated number 18 all time on the top songs list

    it should have been number 2 (number 1 is stairway to heaven)

  • is the golden rule really that cruel.?

  • Infinity on High was the first Fall Out Boy album I ever listened to, and this was the song which made me love them.

  • @MissGreyDay Me too. I'm going to See Patrick in Charlotte in a few weeks YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • on the contrary to comments that there does not come because you say what it means and what it means for you this masterpiece

  • This song and Patrick's voice makes me get the chills♥

  • u dont come across beautiful songs anymore like some songs are just beautiful they mean something like swan lake by the agonist is a beautiful song too

  • i understand this deep but what does it mean????

  • This is one of my favorites. This song speaks to me in volumes! Love the harmony!

  • omg luv this song fob i sawesome FTW cause here comes FOB!!!!

  • A song powerful enough to make even the strongest of men feel depressed and then start to cry . The same way this song made me feel

  • [eyes darken as head tilts] this song is kinda like life its their version their life their world they invited us with this song...its a good song [sniffle]

  • my band does a good cover of this <3

  • Written by Wes Eisold.

  • I cried at this song a little. So sad they broke up

  • @HeeOck fob didnt break up!!!!!!

  • @tiediecupcake yes they did break up they broke up the same time cinema bizarre did i remember because i like broke down over two of my favorite bands quitting

  • @campbelljordanable That's not relevant to the song. XD It's ok that you hate that boy, but keep the hate to his music please.

  • @JonahMightDie Just tryin' to spread the good word.

  • I remember when infinity On High came out, and I bought the CD and I had this song on repeat for like a week straight.

  • love this song xxx

  • 3 people will never have golden

  • 3 dislikes...

    there's only one explanation i have for this. these three people were crying because they love this song and missed the like button through their tears.

  • Can we just enjoy this amazing song?

  • Opening chords remind anyone of enterlude by Killers?

  • Comment removed

  • @sweeneytoddissexy ...this song isn't about God, but that's cool and stuff.

  • @ChildrenOfInfidelity Yeah, I know. It's kinda about a lot of things.

  • Seriously. Look at yourselves for a moment. You all think your so right. Gays are stupid! God doesn't exist! Your retarded! It's the same shit from greedy, over fed egos. Why can't you just accept that others opinions will not change? Get over the fact that someone doesn't like your views, and sally forth. Whats even sadder is that you are arguing in a comments feed of a very beautiful song, very well written, and very well sung. So get over it, you panzys. This is we can't have nice things.

  • @aldenhate U're sayin that everyone who believes in got is retarded? I could say evolution is bullshit and prowe me wrong

  • @Faggydoo I never said that. I said: "Gays are stupid! God doesn't exist! Your retarded! It's the same shit from greedy, over fed egos." Note that last bit. That last bit shows that I'm saying that everyone says all these things. We all have out opinions, and try to force them onto others. And we never get over it.

    As for you my friend. Stop typing like an uneducated 5 year old who can barely see the keyboard.

  • @Faggydoo I do believe in God, and i am very open-hearted for those who love who they love, gay, straight, bi, doesn't matter. I think, if there is a God, he'll love everyone. And there are a lot of hypocrites out there who will say terrible things about people who believe in god, and about people who believe in loving whom you choose. I think that was what @aldenhate was trying to say, not that people who believe in God are stupid, but that people will say things just as harsh

  • @aldenhate although I do agree that people can be extremely immature and will always have hateful, close-minded opinions, You have to admit, that was a bit harsh. I would take your comment more seriously if you hadn't used unnecessary insults such as "panzys." perhaps you should share your opinion using a tone that would be taken more seriously by a majority of people so you can help end some people's close-mindedness?

  • @jeanyrios Well said, it's people like you who'll go to heaven (if it exists, i'm not a believer but it could happen); all these heartless people hating for no reason, but have the audacity to say they'll go to heaven because they're "normal".... they won't. They'll burn in hell for their selfishness.

  • three people have made god cry at their reflection !

  • This song is about how Fall Out Boy dropped out of high school and started drinking and being a punk kid and how hes trying to change but no one will accept it.

  • I think this song is about gay people. of course parents are going to keep their kids away from gays and pray to god they don't end up that way. also most "loverrs" aren't gay. "How cruel is the Golden Rule.." the golden rule is to treat others the way you want to be treated and ost people discriminate against gays.

  • @JamieMonreal You might be on to something but i think this song is about suicide. The golden rule being cruel is now living up to "Society's standards." And the karats for everyone to see is like saying he just wants to be noticed. And the hook is like him cursing society and the mothers distancing them away from the reject which is below the golden rule. That is my hypothesis.

  • @JamieMonreal lol the reason that gays are discriminated against is because what their doing is unnatural.. its disgusting.. and if ur straight and u support gays then ur either extremely insecure or u really dont no what u believe.. u live what u believe.. if u believe in gays then ur gay.. fact of life..

  • @yourmomsalesbo

    It's closed-minded, intolerant fuckers like you that cause suicides in the community. As long as people love eachother, sincerely and with their whole heart, who cares what gender they are?

  • @ThePatchworkPossum love.. true love is not a feeling.. lol and truth is closed-minded.. open-minded people are just ignorant and incredibly stupid

  • @yourmomsalesbo  Love is a true feeling. I imagine you to be a very damaged, sad person, if you don't believe in love. I'm really sorry for whatever has hurt you; I have friends whom love has harmed, and it's very easy to leave it behind and pretend it doesn't exist...but it does.

    Open minded people, ignorant? The very expression of being 'Open-Minded' is the opposite of being ignorant. Stupid? Maybe. But a lot happier than people who close themselves off.

  • @ThePatchworkPossum obviously what i said to u went way over ur head lol.. i cant have a good argument with someone who doesnt even no what he/she is talking about.. maybe thats why u support gays cause ur too stupid to no better..

  • @yourmomsalesbo How am I stupid? I replied to you with a very strong, efficient argument. You don't know how to reply or fight back, so you're pretending I'm the stupid one. Also, I might add, I can type with corect grammar and spelling. That alone puts me ahead of you.

    Explain how I don't know what I'm talking about. Humor me. Because all of my responses have been direct and forward to yours.

    Supporting gays isn't stupid. Fighting something that will happen no matter how you feel IS stupid.

  • @yourmomsalesbo wow your username just says how intelligent you are. stop trying to pick a fight with people that are wayyyy smarter than you are!

  • @yourmomsalesbo I feel sorry for you.

  • @JamieMonreal i disagree

  • @JamieMonreal i dont think its just about gay people, its about everyone.

  • @JamieMonreal What does everyone else believe it's about? Opinions are widely excepted.

  • Comment removed

  • @JamieMonreal I think that's lame. xD To write about one issue is to boil the very idea of music down into propaganda. I don't think you recognize the progression the gay community's made over the last several decades. At this point, they'll get what they want (and more, Jesus, a Netflix section?) in the next couple, no matter what. So...I mean, to me, that's a very one-dimensional way of looking at it, lol. Why can't it just be about being outcast in general? Gays aren't the only ones.

  • @JamieMonreal Dont like this. Hes being homophobic....

  • @JamieMonreal Idk if that's quite what the song was about, but it's always great to connect amazing music to such important topics like that.

    I myself think this song was just more about being the outcasted type in general, not just gays.

  • This song is.. scary. But I can't stop listening to it!

  • my all time favourite song.!

  • i THINK i see the meaning, when he says "all the mothers raise their babies to stay away from me" i keep thinking of fall out boys' music coz my mum doesn't like me listening to greenday, my chemical romance, etc she kept making me listen to "everyday music" which is shit tbh with u. i dunno if thts the real meaning but its how i see it.

  • This is one of those few songs that touch you really deep in your heart <3

  • I love this song and Patrick's voice is wonderful but I don't understand the meaning... :S Can someone explain it to me, pleaseee!

  • @Meredith846 I think this song's about suicide. That may actually explain the abrupt ending.

  • @13mgirl13 thank you! 

  • @dangitstwang the lyrics do have meaning, if you have an open mind

  • who plays the piano this? i know its either pete or patrick because they can both play it...

  • @Niasaur do you hav the sheet music i really wana learn how to play it

  • I love this song so muuuch. It had gotten me past these past few weeks, they've been so tough. I think It's the best Fall Out Boy song, I truly do. I do love their usual too, but this is just... the most... amazing <3 :/

  • How is the Golden Rule cruel?

    I don't understand this song.

  • Every time i hear this song i think of "the hunchback of notre dame"...

  • @Pritigal3

    Good example.

  • @AllconceptsTaken19 well it's true i believe in God and I see it that some people know that the rules and stuff are so simple but some people just don't want to take responsibility for their sins<(if you will) like not wanting to admit there wrong in that way(I'm not perfect so I'm not preaching believe me) just saying that I get what you mean I think

  • This is a beautiful song. Everytime I hear it again, I see a new meaning in some of the words. It's wonderful and emotional.

  • i love this song soo much :) <3

  • This song express what I feel sometimes thats why I love it it´s awesome and like PATDRyanRBrendonU said words can´t express how much I love this song... I love it.

  • It touched me 'coz that's my life and that's why I grew emotionally. :(
