The Academy Is... – I'm Yours Tonight Lyrics 16 years ago
"Oh, but when the sun
Exposes all my demons
Will you stay around for us?"

I believe this song is about how William obviously has had many girls, and that he sees how that might scare this girl off that the song is written to. When she discovers his past, will she stay with him, trust in him? Sometimes when people start talking, it's hard to defend your decisions.

"My good intentions
Can leave the hardest hearts
The harshest scars you've ever seen
My bad impressions
They will follow me
Makin' enemies that I can't see"

It's not that he wants to be a player, he has good intentions, but even though girls are left with broken hearts. This follows him, cos people often dislike you if you've had many partners. That's how it is with him. But so he continues to explain that he was alone until he found her. It wasn't love with the other girls, this time it is different. He promises to "help you find your way every moment you're awake", and that's one hell of a big promise.

He's serious this time, and hopes that she'll see how him having had a lot of partners has nothing to do with his situation with her now.

Love the meaning. I think it's very true.

The Killers – Joy Ride Lyrics 17 years ago
I've got this one.
I believe it's about him picking up a prostitute aswell, it makes all the sense in the world.

He's driving along the highway, filled to the top with lust, and he picks up a girl. He takes her to a small motel, and finds comfort in her presence this night.
--
Loving Mona Lisa
Dreaming of the free world
Lipstick on the nightstand
And demons at the door
--
He dreams of being free, probably from a relationship he's in, his girlfriend is the demon at the door, her face is hunting him.
--
When your hopes and dreams
Lose the will to go
Joyride
Reaching for the light
Knowing we can't win
--
His dream of losing his girlfriend won't go away, so he takes a joyride. The joyride is his light right now, but he knows it won't do him any good in a long term perspektive, and definitely not for his one-night stand. They can't win.
--
Theres something in the distance
A glorious existance
A simple celebration
A place you've never been before
Tell me that you wanna go
--
He wants to think that she's not just in it for the money, can't she act like this is a whole different experience to her? Can't he take her to an unfamiliar place with his sex, be a hero for her?
He knows he can't.

Along with the tune this fits a lot.

The Academy Is... – After the Last Midtown Show Lyrics 17 years ago
This song obviously has a connection to 'Beware! Cougar!' from the lines
"When we met I was on my back.
I swear we spent most afternoons
Somewhere in the act."
Hmm.. It doesn't really seem that it's the same girl as in the other song though. There she's too old for him, and here he's keeping a watchful eye out for her parents.
This seems to be just a simple and fun relationship with no worries, in contrast to the one i mentioned with the older woman. This one comes with no obligations. And he would like it to stay that way forever.

There may just be a connection from song to song on this record. I dont really know yet but i cant wait to find out first thing when it's released! This may lead over to the Summer Hair = Forever Young one.

William just realized he's growing older you people :)

The Academy Is... – Beware! Cougar! Lyrics 17 years ago
I cant WAIT to hear this effing song in a few days!

From the lyrics it seems this song is about a relationship built on sex (has never been anything else), which this young boy, appearantly william since he's twenty three this year, has been dragged into. And it seems to him that the older woman underestimates him and she doesn't believe in the relationship at all. She's just in it for the sex and doesn't picture a future where he is involved.

He feels betrayed, even if he doesn't manage to convince himself that he regrets it. But still he sees where this is all going, she'll just continue to benefit on it while there is nothing in it for him, she takes him for granted and suddenly he's aware that she has had no reason not to until now. So he leaves without a scene. He will not reply to her if she tries to contact him. He's done wasting time, now moving on with his young life.

Envy on the Coast – Tell Them That She's Not Scared Lyrics 17 years ago
I think the songs tells the story of his mom fighting cancer, and his way of keeping the faith is kind of just to not realize the fact that she could actually die. Instead he says that, no,

"Wake the angels
Tell them that she's not scared
She won't be taking the next flight out of here"

She's not going to go with the angels to heaven for a long time yet.

"The angels dressed for the wake
But she sent them home
She sent them home"

And so she sent the angels home cos she survived and fought the cancer. They were waking beside her to bring her with them every minute, but she stayed stong and was not afraid.

The Academy Is... – About a Girl Lyrics 17 years ago
He appreciates this girl so much in everything she does, but she doesn't pay any attention to him at all or to what he has to say, as if he doesn't exist.

So he tries to convince himself that he doesn't love her, she's just a girl that he's not gonna honour with her own song. So he basically writes a song about not writing about her instead.

submissions
The Academy Is... – His Girl Friday Lyrics 17 years ago
I can't wait for the new album! I already like this song a lot.

To me it seems that this song is about a boy who's cheating with this girl behind her boyfriend's and everyone else's back.
He doesn't feel bad about it cos it feels so right for both of them, even if he knows that the tension because of the risk is a big part of it.

Her boyfriend probably works all week or something so he doesn't have time for her then, but when he returns to her every friday she'll always be there to greet him cos when it all comes down to it she loves him, and this is the situation both the boy and the girl wants to be in.

'You know you're gonna miss this
As long as you live
When you were mine...'

Probably the boy who's cheating saying that even if she leaves him to stay faithful to her boyfriend, she'll always remember and miss the excitement of being with this boy, breaking the rules, feeling the adrenaline, the spiced up sex.

Mayday Parade – I'd Hate to Be You When People Find Out What This Song Is About Lyrics 18 years ago
God, this song is beauty.
It's so emotional and catchy! I've had this song stuck in my head for the last coupla days. Having a guitar solo in this song is so perfect.. It's really not something you'd expect for a song like this. But it does have quite some energy though!

My Chemical Romance – Drowning Lessons Lyrics 18 years ago
This song is nothing less but A-MA-ZING.

It's hard to tell the exact story, but it does sound like a relationship that Gerard's in with this girl, but it just won't work, and one of the two is interested in getting more involved, while the other isn't.

They fight all the time, and he knows that he really loves her but there is no way things will be okay. But neither of them has the courage to leave the other one back alone, so they'll just do the same thing tomorrow.

This is what he can't take anymore.
So if she wants him to stay, all she needs to do is pile up 1000 dead bodies. (= it's impossible, it'll never work out).
But if she won't stay he'll kill her or both of them, cause eventually he loves her so he doesn't really want to be without her.
He wants to celebrate the end of things when it comes to an end, cause it's causing them both pain.

Hence the title Drowning Lessons, the relationship drags them both down.

Without a sound he wishes her away. No feelings back, no memory to suffer from.

My Chemical Romance – Demolition Lovers Lyrics 18 years ago
This song is unlike any other song out there. It's so complete - so beautiful. It's like, when the song is finished, I just have to stop and think. How can someone make that? Write that, sing that, play that? And what makes it so unbelievable powerful is the fact that it's so damn real. Gerard wrote that stuff from the bottom of his heart, hence the note in the booklet.

"To K: I'm sorry I wrote all that stuff about killing you, I hope the last song makes up for it."

The deal where you love someone so much that - if they had to die, and you couldn't save them - you would die with them.

It's too great for my brain.

The Used – Pretty Handsome Awkward Lyrics 18 years ago
Okay. So, someone says Gerard wrote I'm not Okay about Bert, well that's obviously wrong since in the song before it on the album Bert has a guest appearance;)
Okay, enough with that.

Bert needs to get over this fight that they had.
He always talks about it in interviews, he is mean to MCR-fans, he changes the words in old songs which he back then wrote about his friends in MCR ("I've lost my doubt in a chemical romance >> I've lost my faith in a chemical romance"), and he needs to fucking buy some shampoo.

Funeral for a Friend – Into Oblivion (Reunion) Lyrics 18 years ago
I have to disagree. I know it's a concept album and that what you said is true, but it could of course have a deeper meaning!

And it does. I read a long interview with Matt Davies, singer, and he is obviously quite unhappy with his situation in life. Like, being in a rock band is not the best thing in the world, but it's his job.
Matt misses his wife and wants to have kids in the future, and so he doesn't want to do this touring all the time. But as a frontman of a rock band, he "has" to.
He actually said something like touring, i.e. being away from his home, his wife and his town, have almost ruined his love for music, and during the making of TDTT, he could spend so much time at home that he can't imagine what it would be like to miss all of that.
Though, he says he loves to be onstage and stuff, but there are so many things he can't have.

I feel sorry for Matt.. But it's his choice and FFAF make beautiful music, and I LOVE this song!!

The concept of the album has to do with his angst for water, he does not come close to the beach and is almost frightened to death with the thought of having his head under water.

Three Days Grace – Over and Over Lyrics 18 years ago
I can relate to this, but I am actually on the other side of the story here.. It is really sad though.
A boy sent me parts of these lyrics a while ago.

"Over and over, over and over
I fall for you
Over and over, over and over
I try not to
Over and over, over and over
You make me fall for you
Over and over, over and over
You don't even try

So many thoughts that I can't get out of my head
I try to live without you, every time I do I feel dead
I know what's best for me
But I want you instead
I'll keep on wasting all my time"
This part he sent

I liked him before too, but after a while I realized it just couldn't work between us, we are too different. I want him to feel well though, which he ocviously does not...
He keeps telling me stuff like he's heard that somebody else has said that I said that I liked him, and so he "just had to check".

I don't want pain for him.. And so I try to let him have time to "get over me", not trying to sound bitchy but like seriously. But he just does not..

The Academy Is... – We've Got a Big Mess on Our Hands Lyrics 18 years ago
This song is kinda different from their other stuff, and the video does explain a lot of the lyrics.

He doesn't know himself anymore, and has to stand up against himself being some shitty ass rock dude.

In the video the 'other him' comes out of the mirror, and he watches the other himself being really rude and cheap.

And then, in the end, he ends up discovering the whole thing was on in his head.

Agree about the drug addiction thing.. This is really not one of those songs where you can't tell the meaning, it has to be drugs.

Great song!

Though, I wish Billy Talent's songs wouldn't sound that much alike as I think they do..

There's always this cathcy chorus with the title in it and then they repeate it time after time..

Just a personal thought, and they are one of my favourite bands, so nobody should take this as an offense:)

My Chemical Romance – Vampires Will Never Hurt You Lyrics 19 years ago
Great song, so direct and.. Yeah, it's really good and one of their first songs.. Gerard was in really great pain as he sang the song on the record, some guy working for the record company (Eyeball) had to punch him in the face to make him concentrate, according to Kerrang!. Then he did it all the first time they tried.

One day i WILL figure out the whispering.. Seriously. And it can't be many of the things that have been said here, cause everyone can hear how he says "...like ghost in the snow" at the end, you see? Then he'll at least have to repeat the sentences.. But whatever, great song!!

Ohwhocares said:

And no, everyone CANNOT relate to "like a blade you stain" only melodramatic idiot teenagers.

It's a decent song, but stop acting like it's the best that ever was. You're just embarrassing yourselves, TEENIES."


That's great. Sofisticated. Intelligent. I guess you're some kind of genius that is a much better person than the rest of the people you know.
Please, why don't all the rest of the people on this site stop commenting on the songs? You could just state your opinion and everybody could agree.

My Chemical Romance – Skylines And Turnstiles Lyrics 19 years ago
I hope you feel really good about yourself after writing that wackus. Hope you meant it, that it wasn't meant to sound as idiotiq as it did to the rest of us. You shouldn't feel like you're welcome to make this song about something it's not. Everybody here knows it's about 9-11, dude. Gerard has said it. There's no doubt. Got it?

On the other hand, I believe we find some of My Chem's all-time most amazing lyrics on this song, and it's their first one!! That is almost hard to believe if you are a random person, but Gerard is such and admirable human being.
"It reaches in and tears your flesh apart
like ice cold hands rip into your heart!
That's if you still got one that's left inside that cave you call a chest"
Those three lines. After my opinion the best lines MCR has ever done, maybe next to Gerard's own favourites which are from Out lady of sorrows.
"Oh how wrong we were to think that immortality meant never dying"
Also amazing. It feels like he's almost making up new words. He's giving them a whole new meaning. They make sense.
Love it with all of my body.

My Chemical Romance – Bury Me In Black Lyrics 19 years ago
Good song, but I don't see how everybody has such big problems finding/downloading it. I just found it on Limewire. I have both Three Cheers and The Black Parade, so don't worry I don't only download. And so you know, I'm VERY very happy with both of them.

This may be a little hard to understand, but I can easily feel how incredible much more My Chem means to me than all the other bands I have been listening to. My taste of music has developed from when I started loving it with Coldplay, but my travel has ended here. I just ain't looking for new music anymore! Ok almost not. My Chem is an amazing band, and by far my favourite one. I can never pick a favourite out of their songs.

Wish I had something to add to the discussion about the meaning of this song, but I only learn from these interpretations.. I didn't have much of a clue myself before I started reading these.

I think the deal about the fans makes a whole lot of sense, but since Gerard has said it is about pregnancy I guess that has to be it.

Love the beat of the song and also the lyrics. Took me a while, actually, before I discovered how amazing the song is..

The way he screams "you're beautiful!" is just so incredible. Can make anybody's heart do a double-beat... XD

My Chemical Romance – Helena Lyrics 19 years ago
I can say I'm a fan, and I don't think anything in the world would make me more proud right now but confirming that to anybody who wonders and cares. Because Gerard Way is such a talented man, I admire him so much not just because he's beautiful, but for his awesome work.. But I am not trying to give him all the honour, I know especially Frank and Ray makes a great difference to his lyrics and the melodies he wants to use. I am sure the band will keep going further and higher as I grow older. I just know, they are so different, they mean so incredible much to so many people, included me.
Helena is not a new song anymore, but such a beautiful and moving one, I love it, love it so much. And they are anything but zombies... They just dare so much more than any of us probably have ever done or will ever do.. God, I wish I could go to a concert tomorrow and live life the way Gerard tells us to in Famous Last Words.. Enjoy every day as if it was your last. C'mon, I know i hit you with some of this. Loose your pride, and see it from a different point of view people... This song hits EVERONE because EVERYONE can relate to it.

My Chemical Romance – Famous Last Words Lyrics 19 years ago
Sorry about that first chorus there, it was supposed to be "Honey if YOU stay" like in the other ones.

I always thought they sang "Awake and done afraid", like if he wouldn't even say the words if he was afriad of someone that perhaps threatened him. Well well, they don't.

I have to say this is an amazing song, and the last few lines when you only hear Gerards voice... My heart bumps fast, I'll tell you. And when he finishes the whole masterpiece of a record with "HOME" I feel like wanting to FLY, he is such an admirable person...

And to those wondering, this WILL be the next single off the cd!!:D:D
And then again Disenchanted for some reason, good song but personally I find many of the songs on The Black Parade way better.

These aren't correct lyrics!
Here they are, the actual words that are inside the cd:

Now I know...
That I can't make you stay
But where's your heart
But where's your heart
But where's your...

And I know
There's nothing I can say
To change that part
To change that part
To change...

So many
Bright lights they cast a shadow
But can I speak
Is it hard understanding
I'm incomplete

A life that's so demanding
I get so weak
A love that's so demanding
I can't speak

Chorus:
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you'll stay I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home

Can you see?
My eyes are shining bright
'Cause I'm out here on the other side
Of a jet black hotel mirror
And I'm so weak

Is it hard understanding
I'm incomplete
A love that's so demanding
I get weak

Chorus:
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
[x2]

These bright lights have always blinded me
These bright lights have always blinded me
I said

I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid
Asleep or dead

Cause I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid
Asleep or dead
[x3]

Chorus:
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home

My Chemical Romance – Disenchanted Lyrics 19 years ago
When I read these lyrics, I somehow get the feeling that The Patient is like talking to himself.. He firstly tells og thinks of his childhood, and then he reconsiders it by himself, wondering why he tells lies.. Or even if it's the truth, he wonders why he and other people even bothers to listen to him, because he thinks he is "just a sad song with nothing to say".. I actually think that makes sense, something I don't always do after I've thought about the meaning of a song.

My Chemical Romance – Cancer Lyrics 19 years ago
I can see a lot of people had to comment before we finally got the right lyrics in here, but why doesn't deathb4birth cange them? The ones over here are all wrong... When he says "Cause I'm awful just to see", he means like he is awful to look at, so that there is no doubt about that.. There is no way it could've been "I'm awful just to think".

On the other hand, I LOVE the song... So brutal in one way, but so tender in another... Gerard Way IS a genius. There is no recycling here, only his intelligent mind that wants to do something to people in the world, make it a better place.. If I die from cancer, it will be great if I can look down from heaven and see people listening to this song in my funeral!

You sound very intelligent, grunge_girl! Thanks for the genius post.

I love the song, and the music video is really awesome, it fills out all the parts where you start to doubt what he means during the song. Gerard is just the best, he explains P E R F E C T L Y how it is to NOT feel okay... Aargh, it's so good when he at the end says that: Now, now he's okay. When he has told her all the bitchy things she has done to him, he can like relax. He's okay now... She knows now, he has let it all out...

LOVE IT
