Apologies, ran out of letters. As I was saying, before he pulled the trigger on her, the point when he's screaming 'I mean this! Forever!', and then the song cuts out. I know I'm getting really in-depth here, it's just my nature to. I like whoever said that the drumming sounded like automatic weapon fire, I wouldn't have thought of that. This song also ties into the whole 'Man in purgatory, woman in hell' theme of Three Cheers because of the idea of suicides going to purgatory, while those whom are evil, either by actions or intrinsically (vampires are automatically evil by being what they are), go to hell. The lines about the bed of roses and the dozen reasons in the gun point to him killing them both for their own good, and the bit 'and in this pool of blood, and as we're touching hands', now I think about it, makes me think that they may have gotten hurt in their flight, and are dying anyway, or maybe it's from her bite. Anyway, it's my new favorite MCR song, the end of a touching macabre romantic tragedy. |

What people seem to miss is the fact that this whole album was a prequal to Three Cheers, and that there's a big vampire theme here. My impression is that the album is about the two demolition lovers,a la Bonnie and Clyde, and that they basically find themselves in a city of vampires, who they anger, and go on the run. Somewhere in the craziness, though, she gets bitten, but they still try to get away before sunset, so they can have a little time before she turns. This songs strikes me as being about their final dash out of the city and across the desert or something, as the sun nears setting. The song's about how, although the enemy tried so hard to put them down, they'd managed to stay together, yet he's about to lose her... I think they decide that, before she turns and tries to kill him, he should kill her, and, because he loves her so and can't be without her, will finish himself off too. The lyrics are like his last loving words to her and sort of recapping their time, before he pulls the trigger on her |

Great song, it grows on you. From what I read, the concept album is about how the man and woman from 'Bullets' end up dead, with the man in purgatory, but his love is hell-bound, and he thus makes a deal with satan to save her soul in return for a thousand evil men's corpses. This song seems to me like he failed in the bargain, that Satan gave the man a set amount of time to gather the corpses, but he failed. The beginning is, to me, about how the killing has affected him, making him 'dirty'. The second half seems to be his final failing, from how he says things like 'I tried', 'one more night', which definately sounds like he's apologizing to her and pleading for a little more time, and 'it's better off this way', because at least they'll be together in Hell. The part about 'we'll love again, we'll laugh again...' could be his last hopeful thoughts, and the two shots to the back of the head could be what happened that got them killed in the first place, or could mean that he's used up his second chance. |

A great song. Only song I've personally heard where zombies get a chorus. I love the last bit, with the boy speaking out to the people from the ledge, though the bit with the bells and such at the very end makes me think they fail shortly after, like each chime is the death of some of the remaining citizens... |

I agree with mysteryxsk8r, it is sorta sad in a way, if there's a particular person you're thinking of... =/ I love this song, though. |

I agree on the police bit, and that it's the lake itself which is evil, because of the "everything the water can be" line. The crawfish are just pawns (or is it prawns?? sorry...) Also it *is* Nolan, not Noland or OWen, so says the album's lyrics book |
