Hallelujah by Panic! At The Disco

"Then the time for being sad is over

And you miss 'em like you miss no other

And being blue is better than being over it

No one wants you when you have no heart and

I'm sitting pretty in my brand new scars and

You'll never know if you don't ever try again"

Much of these lines consist of metaphors, particularly metaphors involving emotions. For example, being blue is a metaphor for being sad or depressed. The repetition of the emotions such as being sad, being blue, being over it, follows a sense of timeline as one processes said feelings. The next few lines jumps to explaining no one wants you when you have no heart, a metaphor for having no feelings or emotions. The phrase "sitting pretty" seems like a metaphor but in this usage it is more of pun when paired with "in my brand new scars," seeings as scars are considered to be ugly especially if new. It ends with an aphorism of "you'll never know if you don't ever try again," suggesting the writer speaks from previous knowledge.
