| My Chemical Romance – Famous Last Words Lyrics | 11 years ago |

In "life on the murder scene," MCR said that Gerard wrote this song for Mikey. When they were all writing The Black Parade they were pretty much holed up in this hotel in the middle of nowhere and didn't leave at all, and Mikey was struggling with serious depression and eventually had to take a break for a while because his mental health was getting really bad being stuck there. Gerard wrote this song for Mikey as a way to say that he could make it, and he was gonna be okay. Mikey said that when he returned a few months later, he was walking down the hall to the studio and heard the band playing a song he'd never heard before (Famous Last Words), and it was completely amazed and he just stopped in his tracks right there in the hall. He said he was completely stunned, and that the song was not only beautiful, but touching. Definitely one of my favorites in the album :) |

to me, I think this song is about not only a girl vic was romantically involved with but also about the girl having an eating disorder. "don't ruin a perfect thing" could mean he's telling the girl over and over that she's fine the way she is, she's perfect, stop hurting herself because she's beautiful already ("I swear to god I did what I could, I practically begged you, everything was fine.") "Everything was fine" could refer (again) to him trying to tell her she's beautiful as she is. "I'll bet you money as you're running to the bathroom, you barely started drinking but your beauty never stopped you" could mean in a literal sense that she was drinking but she's bulimic and she goes to purge the alcohol (I don't really think she got sick because of the alcohol itself, because she "barely started drinking" and I think vic purposely said that to show that the vomiting wasn't because of alcohol) "you died in california by the sulfur and the sea" means just that, she died, and it could've been from suicide or from her eating disorder (because the medical complications from eating disorders are really serious). also, a side note, of all the people with eating disorders who die, 50% of those deaths are suicide and not medical. (at least, I think it's 50%, don't quote me directly. the point is the number is really high.) so yeah, I like to interpret this song as someone vic was romantically involved with who had an eating disorder and died, and it was really painful for him during and after the relationship because she kept hurting herself until she died and he can never quite get over it because he loved her, and she loved him back. |
