Q: what's it like when people tell you that fall out boy saved their life?
A: burden. relief. humbled. like this whole stupid glossy thing actually meant something. i think of these people when we have to do b.s. radio stuff and our music is played in cruddy movies. it helps me hope that it is all really worth it.

“you guys”

totally didn't saved my life. but you make it a whoooole lot better.

“Fixed”

You probably heard that a lot...but you saved my life too. For a long time you were the therapist pumping through my speakers...delivering just what I needed...And I'll never be thankful enough. I wear The BatH'art everyday of my life and am so greatful of living..partly because of your music. Thanks for everything.

“You havnt saved me...your helping make me.”

I have aspirations of being a professional soccer player. Your song thriller gets me through all the tough training and bull shit coaches. cry on the couch watch the poets come to life...I wanna be the poet.

“wow...just wow”

you HAVE saved my life..if my life was somehow in danger...o.O but your lyrics really help me if i'm feeling unhappy, they just speak to me, you know? they explain the way i feel and they have a great meaning to me... please keep writing your songs. please. :)

“For what it's worth”

We love fall out boy, more than chocolate... more than boyfriends and more than anything else...

“yeah, so”

you didnt literally save my life, but you sure helped me. your lyrics really do mean a lot to me. its like you actually understand things no one else does or seems to get. and your songs have the right ammount of everything in them. they do have soem more serius lines that make you say they toatlly get how i feel, but theres also the little funny hidden meassages in them. i mean if you pick up one of your lyric books and actually read it good, you can find that one line thata just makes your day because its either funny or soemthing about it. and if i have one of those days that you just dont see the point of anything and feel like crying, i just listen toa asong of yours and its like i found teh cure. i know it might sound weird but its true

“But it is true”

You really did save my life...If it weren't for you I'd be stuck in a depression...I won't be the person I am now...Your the one who makes me smile when I'm down...And remember if you're sad, don't worry your fans are here for you...

“I'm me and you're you; and that's all we'll ever be.”

You've changed me, Panic has changed me, i've changed. It's funny to look back on the old me and think how boring that person was, but then i think, i was young. I don't care about the hate you guys get, even though i don't see what you've done to deserve it. In my eyes, you're a bunch of average guys who like to be themselves, not someone else. You don't follow a path, you just roll with the wind and wherever it takes you. Maybe in your own eyes you're something different, but either way, i wouldn't wish it any different. You guys haven't saved me, but if i need it, i'll know where to call. You guys have changed me, made me see the positive, made me see new bands i never would've taken a second glance at and you've given me a piece of your soul in a song which i can share with those closest to me. I won't care for haters but, i'll stand for what i believe in, because my spirit will never die. That's what you've taught me.

“fob might not have saved my life,”

but they sure gave me a reason to. I'm pretty sure that sounds really emo right now, but I'm not. i'm just aregular person that makes mistakes and that just happens to love Fall Out Boy and the way that they can reach out and touch fans' emotions like they do with their music. they're an inspiration. and as long as you, and Patrick, and Andy, and Joe are in it, you're an inspiration too.

“I guess”

if you want to get technical about it, you haven't saved my life, but you have definitely kept it from ending certain days. They sound like the same thing, but it's not. Like, I'll go through these periods of time when I'm depressed for one reason or another, and everyday just feels like one big attempt at breathing underwater, and after awhile when I start to feel like "Fuck this." and I want to give up because no one really cares but me, or understands, I think about you guys. I really, really do, and it feels like a breathe of fresh air after being underwater for a few years because I listen to your songs and I just know you understand. Or at least you did at the time. And as stupid as it may sound, it makes me feel not so all by myself, and that's just one of those things that hits me in the right spot. [I'm one of those kids whose deathly afraid of dieing alone, and you guys make me worry a little less about that, as weird as it may sound] Pete you pretty much said what I want to tell you guys everyday; "If you know me you know how uncool I am. I stutter, wear bad clothes, make bad jokes, make conversation uncomfortable, the list goes on. Thank you for making me feel okay." So, thanks. Thanks a lot.

“Oh”

I guess that's why you're always so serious during interviews and stuff. But it's really good to know that you think about them like that and hope that your music worth it for us.

“Thx”

That's truth. Ur music usually helps me, when i'm down.

“Well, sometimes”

your music actually does mean something,Pete.

“uh huh ;]”

T'iz worth it Pete ;] you guys, My Chemical Romance and Panic! At The Disco have really helped me ... love you guys ;]

“Stick It!”

Haha my friends think that I'm "too" obsessed with Fall Out Boy (whatever that means lol). We were watching a movie called Stick It and in the beginning I SWEAR that they were playing I Slept With Someone In Fall Out Boy And All I Got Was This Stupid Song Written About Me, but without the lyrics so I just HAD to go get my ipod an listen to it to make sure. I was right :) And that totally made my day/night! Oh, and there was this one time where I went to a baseball game and we had box seats and they were playing Nine In The Afternoon by Panic at the Disco in there. That made my day too.

“..”

When i say that fob music keeps me at life or saved me i really mean this . 'cause since i bought folie a deux and infinity on high i was very depressed . maybe some ppl outta there know how it is to feel in every single breath how heavy your heart is . And i got nobody to speak about 'cause my best friend turned away from me and i didn't knew the reason . that was another point that made me sad . at this time i listened almost the whole day to fob and this got me healing . Maybe I'm just stupid to think that fob saved my life , but i really really think it was soh .

“-”

thanks for answering (:

“Hmm,”

Well, I guess that you haven't really 'saved' my life, but you've definitely 'changed' it - for the better. If I'm having a really bad/depressing day, I know that listening to Fall Out Boy will make it like heaps better. I know heaps of people who listen to music coz of the beat, or if the singer/band is hot, etc., and not really coz of the lyrics. Fall Out Boy's lyrics are absolutely amazing. Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, etc. - they're lyrics aren't as meaningful as yours. All I can say is thanks, thanks for your amazing lyrics that have helped me and many other people through all the bad times. x

“you know...”

i dont think fall out boy have saved my life...because ive never had a stage in my life where ive been depressed. but fall out boy has improved my life so much. fall out boy has changed my life. for the better. i wouldnt be the person i am today if it wasnt for fall out boy. i wouldnt be straight edge ( i found out about straight edge from andy), i wouldnt know about invisible children (and i think inivisble children has also changed my life for the better), there are so many bands i love that i wouldnt know about if it wasnt for you guys. there are people i wouldnt even know if it wasnt for fall out boy. and there is so much more. my life is so much better because of you guys. thank you.

“you kno...”

i always tell people fall out boy has saved my life and they go well how can a band save your life and you kno what they just can. fall out boy's music really helped me during a depressing time for me. everyday these boys can make me smile or laugh even if its a crumy tweet they make my day i love all 4 of these boys so much id do anything for them. id take my life for them <3
