Awesomest song ever. Though the first time I heard it, I thought he said, "Jesus was an archetype." I'm a dumb-ass cunt. |

How does this song not have any comments? It's actually, "why am I always messing with the bug guns," not "missing the big guns." Aaaanyway... "Well, you praise him Then you thank him 'Til you reach the by-and-by And I've won hundreds at the track But I'm not betting on the afterlife Then you kiss his lips He forgives you for it He forgives you for all you've done But not me I'm still angry" Now, you'd think that was about God, but it could easily be about a lover. Or maybe both, in the way that some particularly fanatical religious sects view him (e.g., the idea that Catholic nuns are 'married' to God, to the extent that nuns would wear wedding dresses and gold bands). Meh. |

I always thought this song was from a female point of view... I mean, Gerard Way might very well walk round in dresses, but it's a CONCEPT album. As in, not literal to the singer. Most songwriters (and writers/performers in general) take on personas, or characters that are a mix of themselves and their inventions. Honestly, I don't have much of a clue about this song. The entire album hints at an "underworld" type of business; the mob, perhaps. It seems like the girl (perhaps "Helena") is watching the male protagonist (yknow, the one who makes the deal, has to kill the guys, the one in "You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison," etc.) as he tries to get her back from the dead. Maybe she's looking down at him from wherever she is and talking about being shot full of ephedrine (in a hospital, perhaps, where she was taken before she died), and is talking about the "mess you made' in regards to this insane deal he's keeping up. Just my interpretation... |
