Deadnought Killjoy Age: 32 Gender: Male Posts: 53 | ..Hmmm I think it means that the guy/girl wants his/her loved one to die... |
Attack.Kill.Bury. Jazz Hands Age: 33 Gender: - Posts: 288 | I believe it is about The Patient and the woman he loved and how he died with a broken heart |
Feel What You Feel. Bleeding on the Floor Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 1422 | I think it may be about how The Patient is learning that he's dying. It sounds like a doctor is telling him he's dying. "And in my honest observation During this operation Found a complication In your heart, so long Cause now you've got Maybe just two weeks to live" Although it could also be that the woman The Patient loved doesn't love him anymore and is slightly mocking him about his death in a way. |
ByeHalyconDays Bleeding on the Floor Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 1251 | Asleep Or Dead: "So tired and oh so squeamish You never fell in love Did you get what you deserve?" I think this could either be the women talking to the Patient or the Patient talking about himself. They person was too scared and never fell in love, now that they are dying they are regetting it. |
Need to know. Salute You in Your Grave Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 3052 | Asleep Or Dead: I agree with you. And in that paragraph it's what the doctor told him before he died. I think the whole song is about when the patient is dead and now reflecting on his life. "Did you get what you deserve? The ending of your life" That part is about if he lived his life to the full. "Have you heard the news that you're dead? No one ever had much nice to say I think I never liked you anyway You're dead Free from the hospital bed" And that part is what people thought of the patient now that he is dead. 'Free from the hospital bed' is pretty much self-explainetory(sp?) He's not at the hospital anymore (because he's dead). Rock'n'rollSuicide: And I totally agree with you on that one. Whoah long post, sorry |
br00tal. Salute You in Your Grave Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 3547 | Asleep Or Dead: I think it's a bit of both. The woman The Patient loved is mocking him, And the "And in my honest observation" part, it must be the doctor speaking. Because Gerard changes his voice a bit. Also, like others have said, it may also be the Patient telling himself that he never fell in love because he was scared. So personally, I think the song is in three points of view. Also, in "The End" you can hear the heart monitor beeping. And in the beginning of "Dead!", you hear the monitor have the continuous beep. Signifying the Patient is dead. So maybe it's him reflecting on what was said as he was told he was dying. |
Tickle Me Sara Salute You in Your Grave Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 3394 | I basically think this is like the patient it now dead, and someone is asking, have you heard you're dead? do you know you're dead? is this fare that you died? and how it might feel to be informed that you're not dying, but that you're actually dead. and how life isn't funny, you shouldn't take it for granted, and for all those people who do take it for granted how can they just sit their and laugh life away when this character is dead, and he had no choice, and how their are thousands of others out there dying who are asking/thinking the same thing. |
XxMeAnt-4-tHeFliEsxX Joining The Black Parade Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 196 | I think this song may be about someone the Patient may have known and while The Patient is dying the person is there thinking ("If your heart stops beating i'll be here wondering did you get what you deserve" ) and then like the person is seeing that The Patient really was kinda a bad person (No one ever had much nice to say I think they never liked you anyway) And then the doctor comes in and tells the patient about his condition (And in my honest observation, during this operation found a complication in your heart so long. cause now youve got maybe just two weeks to live) and then the doctor sees that both the patient and his friend don't do much to help the patient out and says (is that the most the both of you can give?). I think that is why when Gerard starts to say "And in my hinest observation" He says it in a different voive. this is what i think..... ::JuDy Vengeance:: |
Mosty alive Killjoy Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 18 | You can tell that when he begins singing "And in my observation..." That is the doctor speaking. I think the songs is talking about how The Patient has been living his life and now is coming to the fact that he is dying. There isn't anything he can do abou it. |
ByeHalyconDays Bleeding on the Floor Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 1251 | Rock'n'rollSuicide: I was looking at the cd booklet and its 'tounge-tied and oh so squeamish' |
dreamerforever Salute You in Your Grave Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 4287 | ummm...i agree with everyone actually. |
Need to know. Salute You in Your Grave Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 3052 | I was thinking about it some more and just like 'mama' is about Mother War, this song could be about Regret. 'And if you get to Heaven I'll be here waiting, baby' And that's Regret saying she'll be waiting for him. |
live.love.burn.die Killjoy Age: 32 Gender: Male Posts: 93 | "Dead!" is the song that really begins this epic tragedy that surrounds "The Patient". In the song, the Patient receives the tragic news that they've "found a complication in your heart", and he's "got maybe just two weeks to live." The lines "no one ever had much nice to say, I think I never liked you anyway" suggest that the Patient is not a very loved person, and has few friends and family. The line "And if you get to heaven, I'll be there waiting" suggests that there's someone "up there" who hated him in life, sort of a narrator from above. By the end of the song "The Patient" sees life in a totally new light, ending with "If life ain't just a joke then why are we laughing?" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead%21 |
DeadlyPoisoned Bleeding on the Floor Age: 39 Gender: Female Posts: 1633 | I think its about revenge!.. Cause he says you get what you deserve.. Somebody wanting someone Dead I don tknow thats the best I can do with Explanation. |
xAsleep Or Deadx Banned Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 1482 | i think it's about the woman that the Patient love..asking if he really deserved to die? why did he die? and/or someone's making the Patient realize that he's already dead..cause in some cases, souls have no idea that their already dead.. |
insane clown posse. In The Murder Scene Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 21349 | I don't know were to report an error in the lyrics so I'm just going to do it here. In the song Dead! it says "So tired and oh so squeamish" it's supposed to be "Tonge-tied and oh so squeamish" I have the CD lyrics infront of me. |
madame angst Salute You in Your Grave Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 4551 | "Have you heard the news that you're dead? No one ever had much nice to say, I think they never liked you anyway." I would just like to know, who the heck is telling him that?!?!? T_T What else...erm..oh yeah. The Patient apparently didn't like his life and wished himself to be dead...as a reminder that if he's dead now, that he actually wanted it in the first place. "Did you get what you deserve?" >.> What is up with that one? I dunno... |
Mother War Banned Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 1470 | i think "Did you get what you deserve" maybe thats the patien thinking his life wasn't what he should have gotten like it wasn't fair for him to die just like that. How he didn't get to live a full, happy life. i dont know *shrugs* maybe this song is also about regret? EDIT: 300th post yay; thats not a lot... |
Marmalade Joining The Black Parade Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 239 | I think the song is about the moment when the patient dies, that first instant of death and the moments leading up to and just following that movement from life to death. The way the heart monitor flat-lines as the song begins suggests that when the patient is thinking/saying these things he is just dead or dieing. “No one ever had much nice to say” He thinks on how much he stayed away from people, maybe how distant he was for some reason. “I think they never liked you anyway” He regards how little friends he has by the end of his life, and how mean he might have been to them. “Oh take me from the hospital bed” He wants to die; perhaps he thinks the world would be a better place without him? “Tongue-tied and oh so squeamish You never fell in love Did you get what you deserve?” He is talking to himself in third person -or perhaps Gerard is talking to him- telling him that he could have found love and suggesting that he ought to have gotten more out of life. “Motherfucker If life ain't just a joke Then why are we laughing?” He is saying that he realizes how little he made of his life, how much more he could have done if he’d been given the chance, and asking himself how everyone can go around ignoring all the bad things so much, and be ignorant to things like murder, cancer, still-birth, rape, ect. He’s saying how much he wants something to be done to improve the bad things in life, rather than being ignorant to the ‘dark side’ of life. This is just what I think the song is about, please don’t eat me! (I taste emo!) |
