Girls/Girls/Boys

Panic! At The Disco's 'Girls/Girls/Boys' is a song that delves into the complexities of sexual identity and the fluidity of attraction. The lyrics, penned by lead singer Brendon Urie, who has been open about his own fluid sexuality, challenge the conventional understanding of love and attraction, emphasizing that love is not a choice but a natural, uncontrollable force.

The song's chorus, 'Girls love girls and boys / And love is not a choice,' serves as a powerful anthem for the LGBTQ+ community, asserting that attraction is not limited by gender and that people should be free to love whomever they choose. The repetition of 'sophisticated, manipulated' hints at the societal pressures and manipulation that often complicate personal and sexual identities. The song suggests that these constructs are artificial and that true sophistication lies in understanding and accepting the fluid nature of love.

The narrative of the song revolves around a love triangle where the protagonist is vying for the attention of someone who is already in a relationship. The lines 'I don't wanna hear you've got a boyfriend' and 'I don't ever wanna be your boyfriend' indicate a rejection of traditional relationship roles and labels. The protagonist is portrayed as a 'villain' not because of their desires, but because they challenge societal norms. The song ultimately advocates for the freedom to love without constraints, encouraging listeners to embrace their identities and the complexities of their attractions.
