| Bowling for Soup – 99 Biker Friends Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
yeah the lyrics are easy enough to understand what i love about this song is they way he implies things by stopping and saying something else like Such a big man, such a little chick. I think it all goes back to your tiny (dick) or Tell her that you're sorry. Blame it on the beer. Your dad was mean to you. Your friends think you're (queer) |

| Darren Hayes – The Future Holds a Lion's Heart Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Well, apparently in this one Darren Hayes is on another time traveling adventure. This time back to Victorian England, to visit some lover, and this song really gets across to the listener that Darren is now openly gay. That is of course if you know where to look. The Picture of Dorian Gray is a 1891 book published by Oscar Wilde. The book has a strong homosexuality theme. The lines after it are a reference to "Love that dare not speak it's name" a phrase from the 1894 poem "Two Loves" by Lord Alfred Douglas, generally used as a euphemism for homosexuality. This phrase was also mentioned at Oscar Wilde's gross indecency trial. And guess what, both were published during the reign of Queen Victoria. Coincidence...I think not! | |
| Darren Hayes – How to Build a Time Machine Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Part two (see Waking the Monster for part one) of Darren Hayes' trip through time. Here, after having killed the professor he reads over the professors notes and wants to go back in time to be with his lover. He starts the machine, but someone is trying to stop. As he goes back he ends up when his love was only five years old, when she moved away. Pained by the experience and not wanting to go through it again he travels forward a few years, and again someone is chasing him. This time however he ditches the time machine and runs through familiar places including his old home. When he loses them he finds his nine year old self getting bullied by someone. He steps in and helps himself. He then has some sort of epiphany and decides to use his time machine to change the future. | |
| Darren Hayes – Waking the Monster Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
First of all, great song by Darren Hayes of his astounding new album This Delicate Thing We've Made. Go check it out if you haven't already. This song is part one of a trip that Darren takes, with Time Machine being the second part. Here, Darren is the apprentice of a professor, who is working feverishly on a new invention. Only problem is that the professor is leaving Darren in the dark about it. Darren misses spending time with his professor, and eventually his curiosity gets the best of him and he confronts the professor with a gun, and presumably shoots the professor. Then Time Machine picks up the story from there. |

| My Chemical Romance – Cancer Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| The Patient slows down from his rampaging attitude from "House of Wolves" and goes through a series of chemos. He softens up and prepares everyone for his death, setting up everything accepting defeat. The chemo has taken all his hair, and he looks like a mess due to the cancer. He tells them that he will not kiss them because leaving them is the hardest part and he can't bring himself to do it. | |
| My Chemical Romance – House Of Wolves Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| The Patient is accepting the fact that he's doomed to hell and is playing with several religious ideas(Contrition, ashes to ashes, hallelujah, praise etc.) Walk like the devil means he needs to know how to act like a demon because he's going to hell, if he acts like an angel he won't be left alone by hell. Hiding in the alley is telling him to leave, he'll never get home. The blood and the halls is a reference to a hospital. | |
| My Chemical Romance – I Don't Love You (Like I Did Yesterday) Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| The Patient feels that his lover is going to leave him. Believing that she is, he asks her that when she leaves would she even say she didn't love him like before. He tells her she'd better get up and leave him while she can...soon he won't be there. | |
| My Chemical Romance – This Is How I Disappear Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| The Patient tells in the first verse that he's done something terrible, something he doesn't want his significant other to know. Presumably, his service in the Great War and the people he killed. He tries a seance to converse with someone who died(see my take on Dead!). He tells them that without them he will disappear. But apparently the spirit can't talk back, and the Patient says "tell if it's so that all the good girls go to heaven" obviously hoping that's where this person went and where he wants to go. He finds it easier to say these things now that this person's dead and says that he can't hurt that person anymore(saying "I'm just a ghost" revolving aruond the lines that he's disappearing without this person). | |
| My Chemical Romance – The End. Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| A narrator for the story comes in and welcomes everybody to watch the show that's going to unfold. The Patient and this narrator seem to switch off frequently, with the narator telling them to wipe off the make-up (a reference to all the fans who wear make-up) and join the lot of people dressed in black, the Black Parade. While the Patient tells them of his despair, he also tells them that he doesn't like who he's become and asks someone to save him. That someone dies at the beginning of Dead! (the flatlining of the ECG machine). | |
| My Chemical Romance – Dead! Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Dead! opens the story of the Black Parade up(The End. was more of a song to prepare the audience). Someone important to the patient dies, and is talking to him. The someone asks the Patient have you heard the news that you're dead, to which the Patient asks to be taken from hospital bed. The Patient learns that he has two weeks to live until his heart cancer kills him to which he says "is that the most the both of you(doctor and nurse) can give?" meaning is that all the time he has left. This sudden horror makes the Patient say that life is just a joke. Stating that if it weren't a joke then he would still be alive(he's feeling dead having been handed a two week estimate of how much time he's got left). | |
| My Chemical Romance – Welcome To The Black Parade Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| In the intro of the song, he and his father are in a city watching a parade. His father then lays upon him a heavy burden. Later his father dies and the Patient is left alone. The subsequent verses are the arrival of death for the Patient and his stating that he is unable to fulfill his father's burden (he can't be the savior of the broken). The Patient nears death and the Black Parade (the embodiment of death, chosen as the Patient's strongest memory) comes for him. He says that he's just a man...he can't be a hero. And the Black Parade tell hims "We'll carry on", meaning that there's somewhere he'll go and carry on; Death isn't the end. The images of bodies and killing represents the city, now a blackened memory from death's embodiment, the Parade. | |
