Hmm... this doesn't relate to the song titles so much as the band's name: "Panic!" was also the name of a great 80s song by The Smiths. Some of the lyrics go:
"But there's Panic on the streets of Carlisle
Dublin, Dundee, Humberside
I wonder to myself
Burn down the disco
Hang the blessed DJ
Because the music that they constantly play
It says nothing to me about my life"
It has to be some kind of Smiths reference.

Each song has to do with what inspired them to write that song. When you think about it, it's kinda a sign of the times because Fall Out Boys' songs have nothing to do with their title's or videos either. All of Panic!'s songs do have some symbols placed in them throughout the song or video that relate back to the title if you go through them carefully.
Every band try's to make itself unique... look at Pink Floyd and their whole Wizard of Oz thing. It's just Panic!'s way of standing out among the crowd.

It's not just Panic! at the Disco. Selecting titles that don't directly relate to the wording or message of the song is becoming fairly widespread. I think it has something with wanting to appear clever, random, and a bit obscure rather than obvious and superficial. Either that or else the titles are just something they wanted to say and didn't now where else to say it.

Lucky Bear,
Panic At The Disco Does not make songs to do with the group name because the group name was made to be something way out there that no one else has or thought of!! The songs are based on there feelings and life!!

I'm a bit of a music afficionado, and I can honestly say I can't figure it out. I'm not particular fond of the new wave of pop-punk, and I sadly _think_ that the reason for it is image. It seems clever, offbeat, and definitely iconoclastic to give a song a long, sentence-structured, hip name, but whomever pioneered the technique should feel ripped off by, pardon my high school speak, poseurs.
I apologize for that huge run-on sentence. Keep on rockin'.

well, i it's another way they add to their songs.....some are just a quote they liked from a book or a movie.....but look again at the title 'i write sins not tragedies', in my opinion it goes along with the song very well

I ponder the same thing with a lot of bands

so your imagination can soar like it is now...wondering, when it probably does have something to do with it... Music is poetry, meaning it's a type of art...art always have something in it that will make u think like that...

No clue, but i'd also like to ask why they sound like sh*t in concert?? I'm a HUGE fan, but it's true.
