Ryan Ross - Where I Belong

Lyrics:
If you wanna see the sun
You're gonna have to dig your way out
This war ain't gonna fix itself
Don't need to fear a hand for help
I know I've fallen down a well
And I can't get out by myself
I'm cold, I'm hungry, but I'm bored
I'm in a rut but still adored
Although I know it's not
Where I belong
The glitter is gone
I'm done with the dark
I know I've been wrong
And I hope
It's where I belong
I know I should've never left
I'd gotten tired being buried
Resting my head on broken stones
In the cave that was my home
I've fallen sick but getting well
I hope that I've still got your help
I'm hungry just to prove myself
To myself and nowhere else
Could I have figured out
Where I belong
The glitter is gone
I'm done with the dark
I know I've been wrong
And I hope
It's where I belong
Where I belong
The glitter is gone
I'm done with the dark
I know I've been wrong
(And I hope) Where I belong
The glitter is gone
I'm done with the dark
I know I've been wrong
(I know)

*s t o p*

[@jasminerees9171]

I always thought he felt buried in Panic! At the Disco. Especially if you watch the old interviews, he always got interrupted. And he does say "I shouldn't ever have left" but he's also saying "I'm where I belong" so calm yourself children and let him be happy

[@jasminerees9171]

Moonlight Panic! Phan then why did he leave?

[@reinventlove1866]

Jasmine Rees obviously he's regretting his decisions he made. Listen to his other songs and you'll hear it

[@jasminerees9171]

Moonlight Panic! Phan actually no, I don't think so. I've been listening to his songs for years and never got that vibe. And he did have a chance to at least work with Brendon again. Shane tried to get them to work together back in like 2013/2014. He didn't want to so I doubt he regrets anything

[@Casaphor]

Jasmine Rees if you're saying Ryan didn't want to work with Brendon during the time Shane wrote those tweets, then that's incorrect b/c during that time, Ryan tweeted that he is "not against it [working w/ Brendon again]" twitter.com/thisisryanross/status/533331515946442752

[@jasminerees9171]

***** yeah, you're right but I still dont think that he's crying about leaving Panic! In all of his songs like everyone keeps saying

"I know I never should've left" WELL NO SHIT

[@marissafedor]

Exactly. Dude, it doesn't matter where they are, Brendon and Ryan always find a way to make me cry though.

[@thathamiltonobsessedbean5808]

If Ryan is happy he said " I'm were I belong" which means he is happy so be grateful he didn't kill himself becuase he said " I love someone who loves someone else"

[@deidaraakun]

Mei Zhou Excuse you. Ryan literally MADE panic into what they were. Were as in past tense because let's be honest, their albums are getting worse and worse since vices and virtues. Ryan is a creative and lyrical genius. You need to educate yourself lol.

[@deidaraakun]

I'll defend this man til I die, not even sorry lol. And I do love him in panic. It's where i discovered him. But Ryan is way more than the band he made as a teenager. He's a grown, talented man and he has moved on. Let's move on too.

[@redhotchilipepper432]

I feel like this is Ryan talking to himself. He's trying to talk himself out of a hard time but it's not working. I'm not ok.

[@thewolf12399]

ah you know that feeling, like when you hear a song, and you listened to it only in a very specific time in your life, and then you hear like 2 years later and you get that nostalgia, and it makes you wanna cry, wanna dance, wanna scream, you just want it back, but you have so much more for you where you are now, but if you could just go back to that moment for just one minute, because you took it for granted. god sorry im rambling

[@n0wh3r3mann]

Usually Ryan doesn't sing his thoughts straight out, and you need to figure out what his songs mean because he uses metaphors and stuff, but this song is just so obviously about panic! :( :(

Dear Ryan, why aren't those incredible good songs in an album?!?!?!?!

[@splanktonspunch5494]

can we just talk about how sad this song actualy is. he's saying he's tired of being forgotten. no one really likes him anymore (I knoe everybody here does and I love him, but you know what I mean) when he says "i know I never should have left, I was just tired of being in the dark" he's saying how in panic, he was never really reconized among as many people, rather than how everybody knows brendon. there are just so many lines that say.... he regrets it. he wishes he never left. he misses everything. his band friends, the fame, and now he is pretty much at his lowest. he feels like............. he's gone.

The guitar solo sounds a lot like depeche modes Enjoy The Silence. Both songs are pure poetry. God bless him.

[@MoonlightBun]

I believe this song is about Panic! Ryden and all that conspiracy bullshit aside. My interpretation of the song is that it's about his experiences in Panic!, the spilt, and where he is at that present time (2013). These are probably the most raw honest lyrics about the experience that we will ever get from Ryan's point of view of everything. I miss his music so much, I understand if he just wants to write for himself now, but I would love to hear more music from him because he is a true artist with his words.

Part of me is yelling that if Ryan doesn't start being a little less depressing and perhaps go back to writing his smart-assy lyrics then I'm gonna be a little ticked off.
