Cover art for Mama lyrics by My Chemical Romance

I absolutely love this song. I thought it was awesome how at the very beginning, as the record cracks are heard, you can hear bombs dropping. Very nice addition.

My favorite part, of course, is Liza's part, and then all that follows after it.

As for its meaning...well, I'm sure it goes off of the concept when the Patient goes to war. Maybe Mama has two meanings...like the meaning of his mother, who sort of disowned him, and as Mother War, which, of course, represents the Great War (WWI). The mother disowns him for being sinful or ungrateful, and then he got drafted and the war became his mother--feeding him, clothing him, etc.

@loverly23 Oh, lol, they were bombs. Had no idea what that was meant to be, just kinda liked how they sound
