This song sounds great, but the lyrics are pretty sad.
The first thing I thought of when I heard the lyrics of the first verse is 9/11. It's obviously something that has affected Gerard a lot - after all, it indirectly led to the creation of MCR - and it's interesting that he's chosen to weave it into this song, condsidering how many years have now passed since the bombing.
It's the chorus that really sounds sad. The lines, "If there's a place that I could be / Then I'd be another memory," tied in with what's said in the verses ... he's essentially saying that he wishes he were dead, that he had died with his friends. It's very depressing.
I hope the band will reveal more about their characters for this album. This storyline already seems infinitely more interesting than that of The Black Parade.
I don't think that it's necessarily saying he wishes he was dead, but rather that he was anywhere else. He doesn't like what he has to do, but he has to do it and fight through it with his friends.

And yeah, I see the imagery of 9/11. I think it's a reference to 9/11 but that he put it in because it also ties into the post-apocalyptic world where the story takes place.

Yeah "covered in all my friends" reminds me of this show/movie where a woman in the military was talking to her fellow soldier. There was an attack and he friend blew up all over her. She was later having flashbacks in the shower. While she was washing shampoo out of her hair, she thought she was wiping the gore off her face
