| My Chemical Romance – To The End Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
If you notice, the first entire verse is of Edgar Allen Poe references {These are not quotes from his works, they are the line in the song to the short story/poem I believe they are refering to} "He calls the mansion not a house but a tomb, he's always choking from the stench and the fume." The Fall of the house of Usher "Lost in the Coma...Increase The medication"-Fall of the House Of User "The wedding party all collapsed in the room"-The Masque Of The Red Death "The parties fade, the choice you made."-The Masque of the Read Death It also says "..He dosn't have many friends" and "All the Cyanide you drank" could be referring to Poe's drug and alcohol addiction. "If you marry me, will you bury me." -Annabell Lee, because he was married to a woman whom he then burried and (metaphorically) "slept by her grave" Adding in "would you carry me to the end" would make it a slight reference to his work "The Premature Burial". "From the money she spends", Poe often made reference that he or the one in his storied/poems was rich by using the color purple. (There is also a drug trace on crushed diamonds so "All the diamonds you ate" could be another reference to his drug problem, a little far fetched,but still) |
