Lying is the Most Fun...

Lying is the Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off by Panic! At The Disco. Or more appropriately titled: "This song title is way to fucking long." This one I'm going to go more into detail with the music video and what it means more so than the actual lyrics. But first, let's start with the song title alone.
For this song, we were watching that movie The Closer with Natalie Portman and Clive Owen. Natalie Portman was so sexy, she plays a stripper, and wears this pink wig. Her and Clive Owen have a couple of lines that they share. We thought that was so cool. Clive’s character says “tell me something true, and she says to him "lying is the most fun a girl can have without taking her clothes off.” Then she says “But It’s Better If You Do.” -Brendon Urie
So that's a little excerpt from GeniusLyrics that I'm using. This like that contributes to the title of this song the leads to the title of the obvious song, "But it's better if you do." 

All of the songs on Panic!'s first album, A Fever You Can't Sweat Out, combine together to form one story, which many people typically overlook. Hence how "Lying is the Most Fun...' and "But It's Better If You Do" are two separate songs but come from the same thing and are on the same album. I'm not going to get too into this though, I'll make a separate blog post going more into this. 

Now onto the actual point of the post. The interpretation of the Lyrics/Video.

A lot of people have troubles seeing how the music video/the lyrics/the title all link together and have anything to do with one another. 
The title has to do with hot Natalie Portman. That's already been established. But the line itself has to do with how women sleep around. Saying the only way women can have fun without having sex is to lie. So that's got girls sleeping around. Then the lyrics are obviously about a girl who cheats on her boyfriend. 

Is it still me that makes you sweat?
Am I who you think about in bed?
When the lights are dim and your hands are shaking as you're sliding off your dress?
Well, then think of what you did
And how I hope to God he was worth it
When the lights are dim and your heart is racing as your fingers touch your skin

Like, come on. You can't be more obvious. He's saying yeah, you had fun with your little fling, don't come back to me though. 

I've got more wit
A better kiss
A hotter touch a better fuck
Than any boy, you'll ever meet
Sweetie, you had me
Girl, I was it, look past the sweat
A better love deserving of
Exchanging body heat in the passenger seat
No, no, no, you know it will always just be me

Then he gets a bit full of it in the part and goes more into detail. He's way better than that guy could ever be. "Why trade a diamond for a pebble?" type of thought pretty much. 

Anyway now let's get to the music video. You start with a pretty normal looking girl. Except for one thing. She has a fish tank on her head. With the lyrics that are playing in my head, she's walking home from her one night stand. This is her walk of shame. More people then start showing up in the camera and it's shown that all of them have fish tanks, so it's just the reality where everyone has a fish tank on their heads. Well if you pay more attention one might notice that there are orange and gray fish in everyone's tank. This isn't made clear but they represent sexual partners. The gray fish are long, forgotten about partners. The orange fish are new, recent partners. If you notice our main character has several orange fish, so she has been sleeping about quite a bit. 

She then comes up to a spill of water that trails to her feet, and she follows it. She then picks up an orange fish, which is basically saying she just had sex with one more new dude. Then pan to the guy dead on the street. His tank is broken, his water is spread out all over the street, his fish are all flopping about. He's dead. This guy is then made out to be the boyfriend as she later falls to her feet and kills herself as well by pouring out her water and then the ambulance takes them to the ocean and dumps them off. 
It then starts having flashbacks of them and showing that she realizes she loves him which is why she killed herself. It also shows a particular scene that I don't know about you, but to me kinda looks like a wedding scene. So this couple might even be married, but she still sleeps around. 
Then the both of them die and are thrown into the ocean to 'live happily ever after?" I see this more as the death of their relationship, not actually them. That's more metaphor. Because after they're thrown into the ocean it then shows them moving around underwater which I never really understood at first. Like why are they moving? I thought they were dead? But that's why I see it as their relationship is actually the only thing that's dead and so in the ocean, it's still alive. 
But onto something else, I'm really concerned with the fact that how this fake fish tank world deals with their dead, is just to throw them in the ocean. Like wouldn't the ocean get a bit cramped? How awkward would it be if you were swimming in the ocean and all of a sudden a dead body touches you? Would it be the equivalent of playing in a graveyard? Do these people just not swim unless you're morbid? Do they go to the ocean to mourn their loved ones? So many unanswered questions that will never be answered because most normal people probably never even wondered about in the first place.
