FallOutBoy Young Blood Chronicles part 5: The Mighty Fall ft Big Sean

Part 5 of the falloutboy young blood chronicles has been released, I've analysed all of the parts so far so if you want to know what happened before or what I thought about the other videos here are the links:
    


The events of The Mighty Fall takes place after the events of my songs know what you did in the dark.




 the video starts off with 2 chainz torching the van before cutting away to kids riding bikes in the dark, I have come to the conclusion that kids are meant to represent fans, (as in many interviews fan are referred to as kids and also because how they react to the band.)

I have a theory that each video represents things that happened to FallOutBoy before and after they split up, the Phoenix is about getting their music out using the briefcase as as symbolism  for their work probably their first or previous  album, young volcanoes is about celebrity habits and life style; drugs, drink and sex are shown in  that video, it shows how people blissfully unaware about the terrible things that are currently happening to them shown by the eating Patrick's organs (they are unaware they are actually destroying him, almost like the lifestyle is eating away at him and he doesn't realize.)

Alone together symbolizes the leads up to the split, each band member has their own problems to deal with like harsh criticism, invasion of privacy ect and they could all be real factors that contributed to the bands split whilst my Songs know what you did in the dark is the split it's self, almost like the band has been destroyed, all of the albums, memorabilia and instruments were destroyed and the band members them selves were nearly killed off so I guess this makes the mighty fall the after math of the split everyone goes there separate ways and in doing so made them selves more vulnerable which I guess is pretty much what happened.

The creepy kid from the phoenix is back I didn't like this kid, I think that boy and the other kids are meant to be the kinds of fans that stop being fans and get angry with artist and bands that they were fans of. (I'll try and explain this concept.)

Take Taylor swift for example, her music used to be sort of country but her more recent music has been more slightly more pop and some people didn't like it and I think those kids are meant to represent that the creepy boy from the phoenix is like a really obsessive, vicious hater.

The fact that the kids seem to be heading some where and the fact that FallOutBoy escape pretty easily means that the captors intended for them to escape and are teasing them ( like a game of cat an mouse) and they are probably still one step ahead of the band.

In the previous episode Alone together Pete Wentz had freed Big Sean but failed to free him self or the other members of FallOutBoy and Big Sean followed the van in what is assumed to be a rescue attempt, Patrick Stump frees everyone using the hook hand that he acquired in the previous video only to be greeted with the gang of children holding make-shift weapons and a cassette player.

I think the reason they have make-shift weapons like chains, bicycle handles, baseball bats ect when they are clearly working for some greater organization that could give them better weapons is because it's more angry, it's not like the kids were given weapons and orders to follow blindly, these children made weapons out of things they own or could find, I think the Young Blood Chronicles are about what happened to FallOutBoy and because the song is called the might fall I believe this Video/song is about the harsh abuse "fans" can throw at artists, the might fall has two meanings:

The mighty fall could describe an event in which things end terribly like a really big downfall.

The Mighty fall could be describing a kind of person, so someone who was "mighty"  (I.E high status, wealthly, respected ect) and that person has suffered a blow.

Both meaning could apply to FallOutBoy the event being the split and the fact that they split because they suffered when their music became less relevant.

The band splits up heading off into different directions and are chased by the kids and beaten ( symbolizing the split and how each member of the band suffered.) each member has two kids attacking them apart from Patrick who only has one child pursuing him and poor Patrick has the creepy kid from the Phoenix with the cassette player.

The cassette player when turned on gives Patrick the yellow demon eyes from alone together I don't understand why at the moment just that the music on that tape seems to be the trigger, I don't really know what it means is he meant to be a different person or something? and why does this organization want to turn his eyes yellow? I'm confident that they will explain in another video.

Any way Big Sean who has been watching the pair through the bushes runs out and breaks the boys neck (it's a pretty impressive shot, other than being a bit violent and gross it was really well done and I'm interested in seeing how it was made.) Big Sean turns of the tape player and Patricks eyes turn back to normal, the confused expression on his face implies that he has no memory of what happens after the tape plays and that his no longer in control when his eyes turn yellow but I guess that is pretty obvious.

Patrick runs in fear which is understandable seeing as he hasn't met Big Sean before and didn't know what had just happened, presuming that Patrick isn't aware that there is a tape that can change him the tape will probably make a reappearance and cause problems for an unsuspecting FallOutBoy at some point in the future.

Big Sean tries to run after Patrick Stump but the women emerge out of the woods and throw an axe into his back, what I like the most out of the Young Blood chronicles (second to seeing what the next video in the story will bring) is the way that who ever is singing/rapping does it while running, being attacked, being tortured ect and they pull the expressions that react to the situation while they sing/rap and poor Big Sean raps about what is essentially sex while being chopped with an axe.

The band members are let go by their child captors at different parts of the wood, clearly the people/person behind this has other plans for them now they are alone and Big Sean is killed which furthers the point that they are being teased, if they wanted them the women would have gone to get them or they would have been killed already (Although they should all be technically dead by now.) 


Someone said on youtube that this was the worst track on the album but they really liked the video and I agree this wasn't my favorite song but I didn't dislike it either but I enjoyed this video, not as much as I enjoyed the Phoenix, As much as I didn't like the creepy boy it's kind of sad he died, same with Big Sean they could have had a bigger part in the story but never mind.

I think the next song will either be Where did the Party go  or Miss Missing You as I don't think they would have another duet for a while at least and because I think they could fit where I believe the story could go.

  1. As you know Elton john will make an appearance in one of the videos as he is the main singer in save rock and roll but what i want to know is how will this fit in with the story. has Elton been captured by those weird woman then rescued by a member of fall out boy then return the favor and save rock and roll as i think its clear that fall out boy are rock and roll.

    1. I'm wondering the same thing, I think the saving rock and roll song will be near the end though, if you listen to the lyrics they are talking about having over came something so I guess it'll be near/at the end and I do think he will "save" them because the song is called saving rock and roll, it seems obvious but I still want to know how he fits in? where will he come from?
      I think the same thing about Foxes and Courtney Love where will they fit in?
      maybe they will be evil because they are women? who knows.
