From a Mountain In the Middle of the Cabins by Panic! At the Disco Song Info
“From A Mountain In The Middle Of The Cabins” is notoriously difficult to decode, partially thanks to the fact that the band was high while writing the Pretty. Odd. album. The title itself seems to be a mixed-up reference to the cabin where the band wrote Cricket and Clover, a scrapped record that was meant to be the group’s sophomore album. While “From a Cabin in the Middle of the Mountains” paints a realistic picture, reversing “mountains” and “cabins” makes little sense, unless there’s somehow a circle of cabins around a mountain. Jon Walker, Panic!’s then-bassist, explained to MTV: “It’s kinda like an outro to the whole theme of the record, um, but it isn’t the last song… so in my eyes, it kinda feels like an ending, a winding down.“ In another track-by-track explanation, Brendon Urie stated: “It’s like that cartoon of Mickey and Minnie from like, the 30’s or 40’s, where they’re walking on the beach with the umbrella in between the fountains and stuff, and he’s like, feeding her chocolate cherries… Oh, and then they die at the end of the cartoon. That’s what this song is.“
