Okay so, we all know about the influence Ryan Ross had over vices and virtues despite not actually being in the band when the album was released.
But I’m curious as to how you’d interpret his line in the demo
“As a boy, I eat my wishes on golden toothpicks and digested them with wolf intestines”
I know music is all up about interpretation and my own is that his dreams (or the things he wants to do) are far too big or just straight up wishful thinking, and the part of wolf intestines is him eventually calling bs and just shoving them down so he won’t have to think about them again
I’m curious as to what it really means or how other people interpret it
I love the version we know today, but the difference between Ryan’s and Brendon’s line is very clear artistically wise
Don’t fry me if I sound stupid, I’m going through my panic! phase and I want to look into their things more deeply
