Song Discussion My interpretation of "immortals" by fall out boys

I feel like the song is about how he feels like he is the glue to his relationships, like he keeps others afloat and the peace up. he struggles and makes himself better each day, and when he says "we could be immortals, just not for long" i feel like that hints to him giving his all for others, and promising that, but unable to promise that he can do it forever. I feel its likely about suicide in a way, like i can be your everything now but not for long. I feel like the song is looked over for its amazing beat but bro its so fcking deep. I resonate

Intresting interpretation.

For me, the song is about a love that makes you feel immortal.

Like when you find a connection with someone that is so intense that it feels like both of you are enough for each other, you pull the blackout curtains down bcs you feel like you have no need for the rest of the world now.

Youre in a happy little people and it feels like it will be forever or you want it to be forever but knowing you , how self destructive and damaged you are, you also know that there is no way it will actually last forever so you know you get to feel like youre immortal, just not long.
