Lyric discussion by songs4aburningcity 

When I was a young boy, my Father took me into the city, to see a marching band.

reflection on childhood past with father (a heroic like figure)

He said "Son when, you grow up, will you be, the savior of the broken, the beaten and the damned."He said "will you defeat them, your demons and all the non-believers, the plans they have made."

A message for the youth of today - unite. live together nd not seperated by pain nd oppression. do it 4 ur father. the man who raised u 2 be brave in a world of whimps

Because one day I'll leave you, A phantom to lead you in the summer, To join the black parade."

phantom: ghost, hidden demon or pain mayb. the death of his father will go with him 2 tha grave. black parade nd summer? death nd joy? mayb the black parade r tha courageous human beings that break away from tha bullshit that surrounds them "carry on" living their own life.

Sometimes I get the feeling she's watching over me. And other times I feel like I should go.

she = god. unconventional - if u believe in god, "it" is not the judge of moral gud nd evil or tha powerful vision of masculinity. god is the mother - the caring, compassionate, woman who gives all her children unconditional love - sumtyms he thinks she doesnt exist so he doesnt care about tha world or neone around him

Through it all, the rise and fall, the bodies in the streets.

thru tha shit , tha ones who wasted their lives nd ended up in shit places

When you're gone we want you all to know We'll Carry on, We'll Carry on Though your dead and gone believe me Your memory will carry on We'll carry on

though the father has died - he realises he shuldnt waste his life bitching about how bad it is - he shud make tha best of it - there is no reason 4 all tha shit that happens it just does - just make tha world a better place - wat his father told him 2 do - carry on

And in my heart I cant contain it The anthem wont explain it.

i have 2 help ppl - u cant understand it - u have 2 already kno it 2 understand the anthem

and we will send you reeling from decimated dreams Your misery and hate will kill us all

fuck ur bitching 2 put it bluntly - dont hate try 2 understand other ppl nd help them

So paint it black and take it back Lets shout it loud and clear do you fight it to the end

the modern day pop image took "the beautiful life" nd made it look gud nd crystal clear - nothing is perfect, say it for what it is - its not pure white so paint it black- take back the image we shud strive for. r u strong enuff 2 fight it out?

we hear the call to to carry on etc...

...and though you're broken and defeated you're wiery widow marches on and on we carry through the fears

reference 2 the mother. the fears: failing

dissapointed faces of your peers take a look at me cuz i could not care at all

u fail tha ppl around u by doing nothing. but i dont care about u if u make no effort 2 change tha world

do or die you'll never make me cos the world, will never take my heart though you try, you'll never break me

it doesnt matter if i fail -il die a happier man. i wont be seduced by the evils of the world

we want it all, we wanna play this part wont explain or say i'm sorry im not ashamed, i'm gonna show my scar

we want 2 tha whole world 2 listen - im not saying soz 4 bein different - i wont show how it hurts

Give a cheer for all the broken

the ones who tried nd were crushed by the world around them

listen here, because it's only.. i'm just a man, i'm not a hero just a boy, whos meant to sing this song just a man, i'm not a hero i, don't, care

im not doing this cus i feel im special or its m,y duty - i do it bcos i want 2 - bcos i have 2 - its a drive that was instilled by the father - he just kinda worked it all out

beautiful song - thnx 4 readin

@songs4aburningcity I would gladly have upvoted this, because you have a solid and good meaning, however your english is so extremely bad that I simply can't get myself to do it.
