Some of their lyrics are whiny emo, but they have some pretty good stuff going on as well, such as Goodbye Agony and Heart on Fire.
Just cringe worthy lyrics, yet people put in the f-ing "This band saved my life" claim.
I don't like these lyrics much nor the music at all
4 Panic! at the Disco

Panic! at the Disco was an American pop rock band from Las Vegas, Nevada, formed in 2004 and featuring the current lineup of vocalist Brendon Urie, accompanied on tour by bassist Dallon Weekes, guitarist Kenneth Harris, and drummer Dan Pawlovich. Honestly if you look at the first three albums and some songs on the fifth album they used to be good at writing lyrics. And this is coming from a P! ATD fan. But the newer songs that have come out do not have the greatest ones in my opinion. But looking back to the first album they do have some lyrics that are very descriptive and a lot of lyrics pre-split tell a story. But I will agree that in more recent years, the quality of lyrics has gone down
5 Five Finger Death Punch

To be honest, as much as I like Ben Burnley’s vocals and the guitar riffs, they try way too hard with the lyrics in my opinion.
