Demolition Lovers Lyrics
And then I'd say to you we could take to the highway
With this trunk of ammunition too
I'd end my days with you in a hail of bullets
To let you know just how much you mean to me
And after all the things we put each other through
A liquor store or two keeps the gas tank full
And I feel like there's nothing left to do
But prove myself to you and we'll keep it running
I'll let you know just how much you mean to me
As snow falls on desert sky
Until the end of everything
I'm trying, I'm trying
To let you know how much you mean
As days fade, and nights grow
And we go cold
Until this, I mean this, I mean this
Until the end of...
To let you know how much you mean
As days fade, and nights grow
And we go cold
We'll show them all how much we mean
As snow falls on desert sky
Until the end of every...
Is bullets I mean this
All we are, all we are
Is bullets I mean this
All we are, all we are
Is bullets I mean this
All we are, all we are
Is bullets I mean this
Like scarecrows that fuel this flame we're burning
Forever, and ever
Know how much I want to show you you're the only one
Like a bed of roses there's a dozen reasons in this gun
And as we're touching hands, and as we're falling down
And in this pool of blood, and as we're falling down
I'll see your eyes, and in this pool of blood
I'll meet your eyes, I mean this forever
i think gerard way's a brilliant lyricist and this song is a pure example of his lyrical prowess. his muse surely was influenced by today's artistic culture of vampire, horror, and romantic/violent cult classics, and his metaphors are twisted beautifully into his landscapes resulting in near perfection interperting today's society with his own relationship experiences. bullets are the nasty words and things we say to each other to shoot each other down, in anger and hate. shot down until the relationship is dead. how smart we think we are by our relationship dialogue, always having a sharp, snappy comeback, put down artistry, verbal abuse, just plain hate that eventually replaces the love and caring you show each other in the beginning. that's the trunk of ammunition. the beginning is the feeling of the relationship in the beginning. the end of the song is when the relationship dies. i love his reference to scarecrows, because anger is an emotion that stems from fear. and though the relationship dies, he will always love her.
the way gerard sings this song is so amazing. it's my favorite. it's so dramatic and powerful in it's own unique way. to me this song is about him and a girl, and all he wants to do is prove himself to her (and i feel like there's nothing left to do but prove myself to you) even if it means dying (i'd end my days with you in a hail of bullets; and we go cold)
great song.
Greatest song...anyways... i think that this song is about a relationship that never works out. He is obsessed so much with this love, that he would do anything for her to show his devotion, even if it means death. "We'll show them all how much we mean, as snow falls on desert sky"-this shows that he knows the relationship will not work, just as snow cannot fall in the desert.
Great song..fits rite in with my life.
P.S. Thrice is the best band ever.
All we are is bullets, I mean this... all we are is to be used up and thrown away, maybe...
if we are all bullets, then who holds the gun?

haha ya but actually sillen he also gerard admitted that he wrote it to the girl but also as an ode to those who would die for each other those who would risk life and limb for thier love even if it was just to die with them...and yes its a mix of influence from bonnie and clyde, natural born killers, and a really underground flick called married by bloodshed its fucking amazing...gerard is nutz and awesome
p.s. thrice sux
ha yea, i had to see thrice when they were playing with say anyhting and they played for like 2 friggin hours!!!!!!!!!

To me, this song is abt a man who would kinda do anything for a girl that he loves..and if it means running away from every thing he knew just to be with her he would..And not even death would separate them cause they would die together.. Kinda reminds me of Romeo && Juliet ... But MCR is the effing bomb....One of the BEST THERE IS!!!
This song has always brought back memories of an ex of mine. She and I had split up and gotten back together about 3 or 4 times. Although we had never physically hurt each other, we've left each other very emotionally scarred. To me this song is about a relationship like that, where all they do if fight, hurt each other, and leave, only to stick with it more again. I do believe the song meant that the man would undoubtedly die with or for this girl, and I would've for her, no matter how bad things got.
Without any frame of reference or connection to this song, I don't think anyone could adequately interpret its meaning. You gotta live this in order to fully appreciate its depth and emotional tidal waves.
this song is so beautiful, I love the demolition lovers lore
I think you kids read too much into songs. This song - like Early Sunsets Over Monroeville - is probably about a movie. Natural Born Killers, Kalifornia or something along those lines. I haven't seen either in awhile so I can't be certain.
Its about Bonnie and Clyde.

At first I thought this was about Bonnie and Clyde, but if you read the credits in the cd, it's actually to some girl to make up for all the songs he wrote about killing her hehe..
