The Phoenix

The lyric, "I'll raise you like a phoenix," is a reference to the mythical bird of ancient times that burned itself to death on a pyre every 500 years and rose rejuvenated from the ashes. The phoenix was subsequently adopted as a symbol of resurrection in early Christianity.

The video sees each band member being taken hostage by a handful of female kidnappers, while frontman Patrick Stump is seen being tortured. It serves as a prequel to the "My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light Em Up)" clip, explaining how the band ended up blindfolded in the back of the black van.

The song samples the 1941 classical work "Allegro Non Troppo," which was composed by Dmitri Shostakovich. Vocalist Patrick Stump told Kerrang! magazine he was inspired by "the creepiness" of the strings and "really wanted to build something around those."
