I think Konstantine is right on. This song is about the band getting old. Also I would add that they feel they are losing their message in the modern world, and they are trying to put together a final plea. I think they are trying to establish what the band was about; their message wrapped up in a song. They don't want to be remembered for eyeliner and makeup, but as a righteous alternative to pop culture. I try to avoid using these famous last words, but, I've been a fan from the beginning; and this song really shakes me. It shows their willingness to admit the dawn of their career. In simple terms I think this song is MCR's way of saying 'it was a good run, thank you.' I just hope there are kids practicing that are ambitious as this group, playing in basements, defying the norms, and blowing people's minds. I feel a 'passing of the torch' feeling to this song, and I hope there are succesors.
