Summary Of Disloyal Order Of Water Buffaloes By Pete Wentz

Decent Essays

Pete Wentz’s songs are full of allusions, irony, connotations, and metaphors tell stories and views. The lyrics often are hard to understand, but if one looks into the lyrics, there are different meanings and interpretations.

For example, in “Disloyal Order of Water Buffaloes”, the lines “So boycott love / Detox just to retox” could have many different meanings. The first line may when looked at may have two different meanings. Many people boycott things because they think it may be bad for them and other people and love isn’t the kindest of things. Though, there may be a second meaning. Think about how someone feels after their heart is broken; quite often they don’t want to fall in love again. So maybe they are boycotting love just to keep themselves safe? And if you look at the second line, “Detox just to retox” could also have different meanings. It could be about some addicts: they may just abstain from something just to retox, or go back to it again. But, also it could be about how people aren’t perfect and they try to detox only to go back to it. And, when you look at both lines it could be someone trying to “boycott love” or leave a person and boycott their love. And people detox to rid themselves of something toxic, and love can be toxic in the case of toxic relationships. And quite often, many go back to their abusers which could be what “Detox just to retox” could allude to. This is just the writer’s take, it could mean something else to someone else.
