| Mae – All Deliberate Speed Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This song is about civil rights I'm pretty sure. He's talking about activists meeting, probably for a sit in? I get that because the term "all deliberate speed" is a famous line from the Brown vs. Board trial where the courts wanted the schools to integrate education to include black people in white only schools but the schools took it to mean they were to act as slowly as possible. Also the whole "we can change the world" line seems to promote this idea of activism. |

| Mickey Avalon – Friends And Lovers Lyrics | 19 years ago |

Basically. This song is about how hard core Mickey Avalon is. And how much of a gangster he can be. He's great in that "better-than-you" way But he's lived a hard life So it's justifiable. |

| My Chemical Romance – Famous Last Words Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I see this whole album as another way than most. I see tracks one and two being him in the hospital dying, one being where he believes he'll make it and two being where the black parade comes to take him away. Track three I see as him crying out to those around him in a vain attempt to save himself. He's trying to deny he's dead. From here, the procession carries him off into the streets where he walks in the rain (track 4). Track five is where he remembers his father bringing him to see the marching band, and realizes this is his own form of "death". Now knowing what he needs to to survive, he tries to get back. I see track 6 as being his lover and family grieving for him, and slowly leaving. During this, his funeral is occuring. Track seven involves two parties, one in the underworld, and his funeral party. At the dead party the procession is embracing their death at the house of wolves. This serves as the halfway reststop for the parade as they make it to the actual afterlife with the patient. Meanwhile at the patient's funeral party, his loved ones discuss their opinions of the patient, most of them being negative. After the funeral party, the patient's lover goes back home and has a flashback to his final days. This is when track eight, "Cancer" occurs. The lover is feeling guilt towards the patient's death. Somewhere between tracks seven and nine the patient learns that the key to him returning to the world of the living is in the hands of Mother War. The rest of the black parade aside from Mother War and her troop of dead soldiers leaves here, and they continue on their path. During track nine, we hear Mother War explain that she is indeed the concept of death itself. She made the dead soldiers "famous" in the sense that they were remembered by fighting in her battles. The patient, knowing she's the key to him returning to his lover- decides to trick her. So, he engages in a relationship with her as to gain her favor. When Mother Death realizes this, she becomes violently angry and expells him to walk the road to the afterlife alone. Distressed by being left alone at hell's door, the patient attempts to reach his lover, who out of saddness and exhaustion has fallen asleep. In a sort of Six Sense scene, the patient's ghost talks to his lover at her bed. He feels bad at what he's put her through and all of the nightmares she's having. Here, he decides that he has to indeed, with the line "the hardest part is letting go ...of your dreams". Comforted by this, his lover is able to finally sleep in peace. I see track eleven, "Teenagers" as a sort of side-plot involving one of the soldiers in Mother War's army, who in life- was extremely afraid of children. The patient- who is now following the army, hears this and has flashbacks to his own childhood. Now, he becomes angry at everything. Track twelve is all about the patient standing at the gates of hell and evaluating his life. He flashes back through everything, in front of Mother War and her army. Still in her sleep, his lover yells through the afterlife that he shouldn't be so hard on himself, and the patient decides for her sake to try and return to the world of the living after all. Mother War is now franticly trying to keep the patient to stay, and the whole black parade confronts the patient on his decision to go back, and tries to force him to stay. Meanwhile, he faces both Mother War and his Lover's cries for him to stay with each of them respectively. Mother War is in trouble for leaving him and for everything she's done, and believes if he stays in hell, she'll be forgiven. Meanwhile, his lover still believes she's the cause of his death and believes if he comes back, she'll be able to forgive herself. Now, the patient turns to Mother War and tells her that he's made up his mind and nothing she says will be able to change it. "These bright lights have always blinded me", means he's woken up to the light of Earth. "I see you lying next to me ...with words I thought I'd never speak, awake and unafraid, asleep or dead." Means that he's woken up, and the whole ordeal has been changed to seem like a nightmare and he is with his lover once more. Even if she's still angered by the things he's done, he's ready to live on. |
