| Cloud Cult – Take Your Medicine Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
This song is about depression, confronting demons you've never been able to face. "You can take it strides, or you can take it right between the eyes. Suck up, suck up and take your medicine. It's a good day, it's a good day to face the hard things." |

The band has actually stated that this album is not really a concept album like The Black Parade. NaNaNa is the only song that really touches the story line, the rest are actually political statements. Even Save Yourself, I'll Hold Them Back is about Gerard's daughter. That being said, 9/11 definitely could've been touched on in this song. |

This song, to me, is speaking up for all the people that cannot speak up for themselves. There is a great deal of injustice and genocide going on in the world today, and this song speaks to having the courage and strength to make a noise about it as long as there is not justice. "And raise your voice every single time they try to shut your mouth." Brilliant. |

I heard somewhere that the Jenny and Johnny are referencing "Jenny was a Friend of Mine" by The Killers.. not sure how accurate... Regardless, to me it's a song about undying faith in survival. Regardless of how deep they are in trouble, as long as they keep fighting the good fight and not losing that passion, they will persevere. "Tell the truth and God will save you", meaning as long as you stick to what you know is good and right and just, you will succeed in fighting for your cause. |

| My Chemical Romance – DESTROYA Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
So.. song meaning time.. According to an interview I saw, this song was inspired by the Holi Festival in India (hence the drum beats). Its partially a commentary on the cast system, with lines like, "Its' unbelievable see we're dead flies in the summer time" labeling the worth of the bottom of the cast system. Also, comparing themselves again to insects in the second verse, lessening the worth of the person by what they own.. a modern version of today's cast system within America. It begs the question, what would you become if you lost everything? Just another rat on the street. The "duct tape scars" is another poverty reference. Duct tape, the versatile gift from the gods, can be used as sutures if nothing else is available. The bottom of the cast system cannot afford hospitals, so their scars are made up of duct tape sutures. Regardless of meaning, this song very powerful, probably my favorite off the album. If nothing else, I feel like it's calling to not destroy the corporation, the government, "the man" as many punk songs call for, but to destroy the cast system, this system that backs us into an economic hole, regardless of social status, making it nearly impossible to break from. Destroy the labels, destroy the discrimination against poverty. Rebuild to become a stronger and more unified humanity. |
