“Dead on Arrival” is the 2nd track off their 1st studio album entitled “Take This To Your Grave”. This was also Fall Out Boy’s 1st commercial single released on May 6th, 2003.

The lyrics of “Dead on Arrival” tell a story of a guy who seems to be interested in a girl. The girl is using him and his feelings for her as a way to get things or just to have someone to hold even if she doesn’t care about him.^[1]
