Dead!

i think he is talking about wat it would be like to be dead, just finding out, and not knowing wat love is like. or he might be also saying how much more easier it would be to be dead.

Maybe the guy that picked on Gerard, he wants him Dead!
"Did you get what you deserve?
The end, and if your life won't wait
Then your heart can't take this"
So maybe the guy from "I'm not okay" that stole his girl.

Meh, I see this as a metaphorically dead song. Like, the person feels dead inside, depression or something else, which makes them feel dead. That's how I see it, but that's just me, I come up with my own song meanings, helps.

i think its kind of playing 2 sides of people...
you have the person who has no choice but to die... the cancer patient... their life is being cut short against their will...

and then those who want to die for the silliest of reasons... reasons that maybe aren't stupid to them... they dwell on it... they feel like they have to find a way out - dying... these reasons aren't much in the grand scheme of things
"tongue-tied and oh so squeamish, you never fell in love... did you get what you deserve... the ending of your life"

............................................................................................................

ok... no i don't, i see it differently now...
still brief though

but to me its about finding out you're going to die... and you don't have a choice...
and you're looking back over your life and thinking "what could i have done to deserve this?... did i not love enough?... what did i do wrong?..."they take every negative thing thats happened and concentrate on it... and thats just killing them more...
they don't want to die but they're sliding

and i guess in the end they realise how short life is and that they were never able to do all the things they wanted to do... it was just taken from them... there's always something you could say from a little point "oh i wish i'd done that better..."
and in those last few weeks they come to the conclusion that you live to die... (or something along those lines)

"if life ain't just a joke then why are we laughing... if life ain't just a joke then why am i dead"

i think the head is talking to the body about life and death.

i think that this song has a different meaning in evryones eyes, only the same. i feel that its about someone dying (obviously)and regretting their life and all the things they did (or sooner all the things they didnt do)

I don't know if anyone has already posted this, but I think mabye the song could be about someone who came down with a fatal illness but started to think back on their life and believed that dying could bring them to a happier place, because their life on earth was miserable, and their friend/lover is thinking about that person's past and how that person never truly lived life. The friend/lover didn't want that person to die, but now, they're wondering if that person found happiness after death.

Sorry if that doesn't make alot of sense ha ha :>

well i kinda thought it was like an enemy in one part kinda with the did you get what you deserve but i dont know the ones below make alot sense too

I think its about the Pationt dying and entering this land similar to "A" Parade not "THE"Parade!
Not the actual parade (because thats on W.T.T.B.P) but the grounds on wich its put!

i was never really sure wat they were talking about in this song

Well as far as the story-line of the patient goes, I always thought this was right before he died, when the doctor is telling him that he's gunna die in a few hours or something.

I think it;s the Patient learning that he has a deadly disease like cancer or something and he's reflecting on his life thinking if he dies did he do everything he wanted to do. He still isn't dead, as stated in "Famous Last
Words", but he has a good chance of dying.

Its about the Patient who has weeks to live and he Is a bad man and he thinks he didn't got what he deserved In his whole life. I know more about the song but I don't feel like writing it write now!

i think it means life is a serious thing and dont kill yourself 4 no reason

Call me crazy but I think it is the people of the Black Parade singing this song. As in it represents all of them. It's like their cantor-call. They're coming for the patient, and they're sort of having this big party. They are a bit condescending at times like "No one ever had much nice to say, I think they never liked you anyway." Which is kind of saying "well, you sure blew it, but you're dead now so who gives a shit?"
I always envisioned Gerard as the parade conductor, sort of this somewhat insane grim reaper guy, who's not really a bad dude, he's just the host. and he's guiding the patient through this journey, and introducing him to certain members of the parade.

this is just my modest opinion, but this song could be about euthanasia
just my opinion

i think it is about the guys who said that they [MCR] will never be going to make it...

remember the line in THE END w/c is before DEAD!!: 'When i grow-up I want to be nothing at all'-the band's 'F*** you' line for the people who believed they are not going to make it....

so, i believe DEAD! is the sequesl for the end....

like a revenge without the physical hurting..(does that make sense???) LMAO

I have a theory on the Black parade, that some of the songs are more personal, and some a more to do with the story. This is one to do with the story.

Lets say the Patient is called Billy.

The lyrics And in my honest observation.., that is a flashback on what the doctor says to Billy. And the "You're dead! Is his family/friend/lover saying that he's died.

The end.
