"Dying In LA" lyrics
"Dying In LA"
The moment you arrived
They built you up
The sun was in your eyes
You couldn't believe it
Riches all around
You're walking
Stars are on the ground
You start to believe it
Every face along the boulevard is a dreamer just like you
You looked at death in a tarot card and you saw what you had to do
But nobody knows you now
When you're dying in LA
And nobody owes you now
When you're dying in LA
When you're dying in LA
When you're dying in LA
The power, the power, the power
Oh the power, the power, the power
Of LA
Nights at the chateau
Trapped in your sunset bungalow
You couldn't escape it
Yeah
Drink of paradise
They told you put your blood on ice
You're not gonna make it
Every face along the boulevard is a dreamer just like you
You looked at death in a tarot card and you saw what you had to do
But nobody knows you now
When you're dying in LA
And nobody owes you now
When you're dying in LA
When you're dying in LA
When you're dying in LA
The power, the power, the power
Oh the power, the power, the power
Of LA

Brendon Urie said about this song to The Independent, "...that's a little sombre note to the end of the album which I love, because the rest of the album is so high energy, and it's good to have that juxtaposition."
The singer's opinion about Los Angeles in this song is like,
"It's a very seductive town, you get here with hopes and dreams, see the stars on the boulevard... But I don't want to rely on a town. I want to bring something to the table that actually matters." There is a song
"LA Devotee" written previously by Brendon Urie. That song, in contrary, is a love letter to the city.
The birds' chirping at the end of "Dying In LA" were recorded just outside Brendon Urie's home studio, according to road manager Zack Cloud Hall.
