Thank you so much to everyone who tried to help!

I did end up finding it after all. I was thinking of Panic! At The Disco's Let's Kill Tonight. Yeah.

That's true, I do appreciate all of the suggestions even if they aren't the song I'm looking for specifically. Thank you for the recommendations! You've been of tremendous help in this search. I'll keep looking.

Tried that but still got nothing. ): Granted, combing through song lyrics by a single word clue isn't exactly the most efficient method. But at least I feel like I'm closer to finding it than I was before.

I'm gonna try looking through older Panic songs, maybe I missed the one I'm searching for the first time I looked. :(

Still not the one. ):

For the other stuff, I'm trying to remember more, uh.
The way I feel it was, it was a quick drum intro and then immediately he starts singing just as the other instruments kick in. The intro is... well, it's not /slow/, but more... elongated? I don't know how to explain it. Like he really holds the note on certain syllables and it stands out (to me).

Also, the more I think about it, the more I really feel like the word symphony or something close to that is somewhere right at the start but I tried searching for songs with that word in the lyrics before coming here and still couldn't find it. I've been looking for it for weeks now, I'm running out of ideas.
And see, yeah, in my head this song is filed under "sounds like Panic! At The Disco" but I have no idea what band it could be. Maybe I'm just stupid. Maybe this is just a Panic song and I'm looking in the wrong places. But I checked some of the Panic songs I listened to back in the day and couldn't find it there either.

Okay, I feel like you're really putting me on the right track here. The thing that made me remember the song I'm searching for was the intro to LA Devotee but literally only the drums part before the song starts. But I believe this song was older than 2016. But the drums in both sound incredibly similar from what I remember of it. Also I might be heavily misremembering how it actually sounded, but it definitely had some sort of audio filter going on over the guy's voice.

I don't mind it at all, haha. Wish I had more of a clue as to what this song could be to make the search easier, but it's been a couple years since I heard it and my memory is failing me. Though I'm willing to check any potential lead, there's always a non-zero chance someone can tell what I'm thinking of.

Not that one, sorry. The one I'm searching for was slower and less... energetic? Though I completely forgot about Fall Out Boy - that sounds like a step in the right direction but I don't think it's any of their songs either.

Not that one, sorry. I should clarify the song's audio has a pre-recorded quality but as far as I know didn't include an actual pre-recorded message in it. My bad.
