Early Sunsets Over Monroeville

I feel like I have to add to this because I just listened to this song for around the 100th time and it really clicked. I'm going through a bad breakup and I feel like this was written for me.

This song is based off of Dawn of the Dead but it is so much more than that. In the beginning Gerard was in a happy relationship. "We're holding hands and life was perfect". He thought they would be together forever and that she was so different than everyone else. But then she turned out to be just the same. "Not knowing you'd change from just one bite." She was no different than anyone else, and he realized that she didn't change. She was always that person. Already a 'zombie' "But would anything matter, if you're already dead?". Also their relationship ended
roughly. "Should I be shocked now, by the last thing you said?".


This song is one of my favorites and i hope I helped.

I know that officially this song is about the movie Dawn of the Dead, but i kind of see a simpler meaning that can be related to.

In the beginning the lyrics mention every day things, like escalators and elevators, and it seems as if all is well. [they're holding hands and life was perfect].

But then, something really bad and/ or life changing happens [ not necessarily having to do with zombies] and everything goes wrong. This is shown in lines like your eyes vacant and stained and should i be shocked now by the last thing you said.

Does anyone else see it like that?

I think that this song is based on Dawn of the Dead, was it not. The movie is set in Monroeville about zombies. The lyric "Not knowing you change from just one bite" Screams zombies to me...

DaWn Of THe DEAd! My fav. movie of all time. When I first heard this song I CRiEd. I think it's 1 of the best songs on that album!

wow this song is like my 2nd favorite song from MCR {#1 is The Ghost of You}

but the song is so sad....
my ex-love used to sing it to me all the at so i would fall asleep when i was restless..

Oh I don't think it's all right then.

He's looking back to all the good times and jumping around from memory to memory

I think that this song is about two lovers but one of them is about to die and so the other one is goiing through all their memories with them before they pass away. During the last moments of the first one, the other gets really angry and is yelling through his tears about how hard it is and is trying to somehow revive the other. When they finally die, they other finally stops yelling and crying and sinks onto the floor, their head on the others shoulder.

Essa é uma das minhas musicas preferidas do MCR *-*
eu tentei por muito tempo entende lá... e cheguei a essa conclusão: um casal feliz que vai passar dias em uma cidade com zumbis, ela é mordida, e ele tem que atirar nela para livra lá da maldição talvez ... parece simples escrevendo , mais acho essa musica perfeita , começa tão leve e termina tão pesada...adoro isso!

vou escrever em Português ( minha língua ) e em inglês... por que sei que a maioria das pessoas do site falam inglês...


This is one of my favorite songs of MCR *-*
I tried for a long time means there ... and came to this conclusion: a happy couple who will spend days in a town with zombies, she is bitten, and he has to shoot her for free ... maybe there's a curse seems simple writing, but I think this song is perfect, so light begins and ends so heavy ... I love it!

I write in Portuguese (my language) and English ... because I know that most people speak English site ...

Just a song about dawn of the dead... "half price sales... escalators... fountains". All references to the mall they're in. The bed was in the furniture store.

i think all of the explanations above sum it up, the song makes me cry when he breaks into the 'but does anyone notice'

It's funny how the movie dawn of the dead is about zombies, and the album " i brought you my bullets you brought me your love" is about vampires, but both can relate to this song.

This is one of my all time favourite songs.
I know it's about Dawn of the Dead cause Gerard said it himself.
But the way i think it is, and this is just a personal interpretation, is that it's about a guy and a girl who are in love and happy and everything, but the girl gets some sort of terminal illness or becomes suicidal and wants to die, and asks the man she loves to help her. He obviously doesn't want to do this as he loves her, but as she is suffering so much he has to do it to end her pain and misery, as she is 'already dead' from this.
Kind of depressing but yeah, that's what i personally take from the song!

I feel this song is about to people who are forbidden to be together, but their love is so passionate they cannot resist the fact they HAVE to be together. Sort of like Romeo And Juliet.

But then, one of them finds out that the other is betraying them. And so the one goes crazy, and tries to bubble it up inside.

This is about the Movie Dawn of The Dead that takes place in Monroeville. Their is a couple and they are deeply in love, but the chick gets bitten by a vampire and the guy has to shoot her to save her

I think it's about a guy breaking up with a girl and not getting over her...


...What?
It's my way of thinking.

This song is about the Dawn of the Dead movie, but I also think there is a deeper meaning.
"But does anyone notice? But does anyone care? And if I had the guts, to put this to your head? But does anything matter, if you're already dead?"
These lines sort of described how I felt when I was considering suicide (don't worry, MCR helped me through that struggle). When I first heard the song I misheard one line as "And if I had the guts, to put this to MY head?" and all that stuff just sort of described how desperate and lonely and unnoticed I felt. IDK.

Vampires. It's gotta be vampires. In some way, at least.
This and Demolition Lovers are my favorite songs, so after even just a few times of really listening to this song, it sounds like it's about vampires.
