Nearly Witches (Demo) - Panic! At The Disco

Music is not mine. Pictures are not mine, except for the shittily edited last one. English captions are available.
The demo is on loop, extended for your ears pleasure. ;)
Yes this was written by Ryan Ross but rerecorded by post split Panic! for Vices & Virtues.

[@Chop_Suey22]

I watched 4 minutes of " Ifell from the heavens as a fetish blessed with an operatic skeleton and as the stars watched me descend I cracked the family tree and chopped off all the branches" and it was so worth it

[@prettylittlepsycho1073]

Chop Suey Boi same my dude. FRIEKN worth it

[@robocop8569]

You mean drink

[@kalclark2703]

Yes

[@hannahlewis2283]

The lyrics aren't really that weird if you use the Ryan Ross translator to figure it out. I think these lyrics mean there's this kid who destroyed his dreams and he's a disgrace to his family.

[@gugutenberg]

I know this was three moths ago and now is probably irrelevant but I'm just gonna say agreed and I love that you wrote 'Ryan Ross translator' ok bye

[@Issyboo1313]

Where can I find a Ryan Ross translator? I lost mine

[@babytoe9214]

@@Issyboo1313 same, I need another one now!

[@vixsteriaz]

someone should make a website called www.ryanrosstranslator that just translates his lyrics..

[@kaitlynnmoran5755]

tori 13567 yo someone get working on this.... like now.

[@evegeorgiamusic]

[@Arrandir]

I think it’s Spencer

[@lilowloveschickens]

I watched 5 minutes of "I fell from the heavens, as the fetish blessed with and operatic skeleton, and as the stars watched me descend I cracked the family tree and chopped off all of the branches" I think I lost half my brain cells tbh.

[@Chop_Suey22]

But was it worth it

[@amayarios1006]

lilow chicken I don't get it can someone please explain?

[@lilowloveschickens]

Amaya Rios im literally just saying I've probably lost some brain cells.

Ryan was such a good lyricist, come back ryro please

[@robotcann1bal]

i don't see why people don't love this. i personally like it more than the final version. to be completely honest, the lyrics and tune match the song much more.

[@juliaburnside8529]

lucy and diamonds agreed

[@hypereags1412]

[@Ash-gc9rx]

but are you a fetish blessed with operatic skeleton?

[@mndznchl]

I descended from hell.

[@tophermkr2159]

THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING THIS COULD HAVE FIT IN WITH V&V SO WELL BUT YEAH SURE IT WAS "CREATIVE DIFFERENCES"

[@maxduvall9055]

it is in V&V.. its just a different version

[@tianig1181]

I spent some time trying to figure out what the lyrics meant (too much time…) and came up with this - the interpreted meanings are in brackets and the lyrics aren't [Verse:] Here I am, composing a burlesque (A dramatic/absurd retelling of events - sets the scene) Out of where they rest their necks, sunken in their splintered cradles and ramshackle heads (The nearly-witch has escaped/left his family home, as the family as so stuck in their ways or not willing to discover new things as the nearly-witch is) They asked for it, as a boy (They supported him leaving) As a boy, I eat my wishes on golden toothpicks and digested them with wolf intestines (Since youth, the nearly-witch has been able to perform magic, as his normal-witch family can, but it's absurd or twisted, using odd ingredients/objects. wolf intestines also hints at the nearly-witch's odd nature/composition) [Chorus:] [x2] I fell from the heavens as a fetish (The nearly-witch was an inanimate object/powerful being (second definition of 'fetish') in 'the heavens', and left/fell) blessed with an operatic skeleton (Given a body to command, as opposed to being an object, and is now capable of dramatics) And as the stars watched me descend (Implying literally falling from 'the heavens') I cracked the family tree (The birth/appearance of the nearly-witch into the family split them, making them pick sides; those who supported the nearly-witch and those that did not) and chopped off all of the branches (Destroying connections between family members that chose different sides)

[@cleo9400]

"I fell from the heavens as a fetish blessed with an operatic skeleton. And as the Stars watched me descend, I cracked the family tree and chopped off all of the branches." I looked and no one really mentioned what this means. Everyone heard it but didn't *listen* to it. He literally reduces himself to a fetish with a operatic skeleton (operatic- extravagantly theatrical; overly dramatic). Ryan descending, referencing his birth, before he cracks and chops the branches off the family tree. He's saying his birth destroyed his family. *He feels that he destroyed his family* and honestly, if that doesn't keep you up at night, I don't know what will

[@shaesolomon4242]

ortolan him leaving keeps me up at night

[@lunarlakes]

and it goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on

HOLY CRAP THIS IS FREAKING ME OUT FOR SOME REASON

So different from the normal!

[@layan3680]

much better than the album version in my opinion

Same

[@le-vd6sp]

HELLO PERSON WITH ALMOST THE SAME NAME AS ME OMG

[@layan3680]

Leighann Howell AMAZING

[@kam731]

leighanne eljaouhari I agree though, I like how Ryan's lyrics are perfectly gruesome

why am I obsessed and why have I only just came across this

[@ellie-ng6nr]

i couldn't help myself

[@mykie9991]

Same! :-P

[@Maya-pi3yf]

emo jungkook dude same. I shout the lyrics (of this demo)and my mom gives me weird looks.

[@tylerbogey]

I can tell you were looping it but I kinda liked it

[@mr.fahrenheit347]

but you gotta respect ryan's writing, it's so unique and beautiful, i love it sm, one of my favorite songwriters

[@estelle6197]

Thanks for all the likes and views guys!!!

[@michealmichealaftonafton]

I can't tell if I like the Ryan written or the rewritten Brendon one because the Ryan written as I can tell is very much Ryan. And the Brendon rewritten is very Brendon and i love them both but I can't choose which one I like more

[@haileyyy9506]

AS A BOY WJAT

[@wynncityco]

I CRY BC THIS IS BEAUTIFUL I feel Ryan and Brendon have two completely different writing styles, so that's why I love them both. But personally, I choose Ryan's music over Brendon's half the time. It's like poetry but with a tune. But you can also relate to it. Bless.

[@maggymc11]

THIS IS SO GOOD

[@juliaburnside8529]

Jazmyn Powers I-/ agreed

[@meg3577]

im crying tears of jesus oh my god

[@essence6569]

this is literally brainwashing me and hey I ain't complaining :,)

[@jacksliney1004]

HE SAID HE FELL FROM THE HEAVENS, I KNEW IT!

[@jozard2108]

This version makes more sense for a song named nearly witches

[@allison8387]

All of those 4 dislikes are from Ryan, Jon, Ryan's dog, and the ryhawk.

[@Lexi-rg6cg]

cAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW ATTRACTIVE THEY ALL LOOK

*ITS 3 AM AND I HAVE NO WORDS*

[@panicattheupsidedown5385]

Why do I like this better than the other one

[@panicattheupsidedown5385]

Oh I know its cause Ryan Ross duh.

[@frida2342]

i love ryan’s lyrics

[@kianalaurilla9571]

this is why Ryan is my favorite lyricist

[@cici6194]

I said this on a different video but I've had this demo stuck in my head all day and thought I'd share again "I cracked the family tree and chopped off all of the branches." it sounds like he (Ryan technically) is confessing to a murder lmao but this whole thing sounds like some cult ritual or some satanic shit

[@shaesolomon4242]

nami biased I'm pretty sure it means he split his family apart

[@cgrap02]

I honestly love this so much

[@kylezsmilez563]

I love how this is extended

[@majkencederholm]

this is all over the place holy shIT I LOVE IT

[@uwuhotcheeto]

[@wookizwrld]

I FUCKING LOVE THIS HOLY SHIT ITS BEAUTIFUL

[@cheyennet218]

I loooove the demo so much 😭

[@hanak5909]

this is terrifying

[@str4ng3rd4nger]

Why are the pictures from vices era and some of dallon?This demo was released before Pretty.Odd

[@condrrone]

Κωνσταντινα Μπουργουτζανη it's because this was meant for the album that was going to be released before Pretty. Odd but never was

[@annacarwash]

tweety bird ...called Crickets and Clovers

[@pndazlina1786]

Κωνσταντινα Μπουργουτζανη because Dallon is great

[@annacarwash]

rainydreaming oH fUck mY mIstAKE

[@hi-vj9dy]

Apparently this is about Ryan's relationship with his family and if this doesn't make so much more sense now

[@amarissortuno5002]

I love this more than I should

[@mokocchitl]

Beautiful, my song

[@gabbyr8215]

Spencer's face @ 1:51😂 he's like "imma leave soon" lol

[@couchtimewithcora7680]

that moment when you think you’ll never hear brendon urie sing the words “wolf intestines” but then this video pops up

[@malloreewolf7768]

I love it as much as the original! !!

[@kitkat-yw6dc]

to the people saying they like the album version better: of course you're going to like it better, you've been listening to that one, everyone has, we know it as the "official" version and deem anything else odd. dare i say... pretty odd. also if you're calling this version "satanic and cult-like" then stop because ryan is the opposite (and we should know he's a lyrical genius and it doesn't make sense all the time *cough* behind the sea)

[@Anna-kd6ff]

I like this version better.....maybe I like Ryan better :/

[@BeccaBearSc]

how can you not.. the man is beautiful, talented, and smart. Sure hes made a few mistakes but havent we all.

[@theawkwardlifeoffish2266]

Same

[@cjwebb1273]

Anna tea☕

[@des.9831]

girl same

[@audhp]

Can we just appreciate the meaning behind the chorus though? Love it so much!

[@jumpstreetdepp]

I MISS SPENCER AND RYAN SO MUCH AHHHH 😭

[@betzabesuazo2067]

I actually love it

[@kylo1061]

The 8 dislikes were Ryan’s 8 different accounts

[@wilhelminagarcia4830]

*CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW ADORABLE SPENCER IS?!?!*

[@michaeljackson1706]

No

[@dimana-rosbelcheva3405]

THIS IS AWESOME

[@overmatter111]

THE ENDING IS A SONG CALLED "WHEN DID YOUR HEART GO MISSING?" BY A BAND CALLED ROONEY. I FREAKED OUT BECAUSE THAT'S MY FAVORITE SONG EVER.

[@dddayla364]

I really hate the 'WHOO's in the background😂😂 other than that HOW COME THIS VERSION ISNT ON THE ALBUM TOO😂

[@dizzyhopper9486]

d a y l a Because Ryan wrote it and never finished it

[@condrrone]

I'm blessed

[@miac7161]

I FELL FROM THE HEAVENS AS A FETISH BLESSED WITH AN OPERATIC SKELETON AND AS THE STARS WATCH ME DECEND I CRACK THE FAMILY TREE AND CHOPPED OFF ALL OF THE BRANCHESSS

[@vanessavalentin2536]

Im in love

[@vumulostratus]

"as a boy I ate my wishes on golden toothpicks and digested them with wolf intestine" i love it

[@strs1nmyeyes]

I love this Sm Wtf

[@rydenross1058]

I like this a lot better than the version used in the album.

[@rominab6718]

It sounds like the backward version of the album version (?) Also, it makes me anxious. I just really want to cry right now.

[@georgechronas]

this version could be one of the song listed in the death of a bachelor, as a "back to the roots" track ,just right before emperors new clothes. Everyone feel free listen to the mashup panic/bruno mars song I ve uploaded.

[@maxx4017]

Now when someone asks me what my favorite food is I'm gonna casually say "wolf intestines" and WhaTA DrUG WerE YOu On RYrO¿

[@gracie_hannah_banana]

So I'm in my kitchen and my dad is only a few steps away from walking in to his daughter dancing to a song talking about wolf intestines.

[@prettylady9906]

these are the same exact "artistic differences" they were talking about

[@ryanthompson9156]

"as a boy i eat my wing chips"

[@mouse8709]

Finger chips.

[@isla2464]

I'm actually screaming

[@zenosgalvus1183]

"I eat my wishes on golden toothpicks and i just sip them with wolf intestines" Wtf Ryan? And let Breadbin sing this? But srsly.. you eat you're wishes on golden toothpicks? And sip them with wolf intestines? You use wolf intestines as straws? **Uses Daniel Howell's voice** Me: HOW HIGH ARE YOU!?

[@freezyreef]

The original is about him feeling like a horrid human who destroyed him family (as the star watch me descend, I crack a family tree and chop of all the branches)

[@syke3873]

In love how yo only put pictures on Brendon and Spencer even thou Ryan Ross wrote this song and they made this demo before Jon and Ryan left
