| keep on living. Shotgun Sinner  Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 9913 | Wow. I love this song  But that goes without saying. I mean, just look at my av  So. Moving on the the meaning behind this song. I think it's pretty obvious that this song is about a murderer speaking out about his crimes. What with the concept of Three Cheers, it only makes sense. This is the man, mourning his lover, and doing what he has to do to get back to her; bringing the devil the souls of "a thousand evil men". philosopher of mcr replied to this thread saying that he believed the man does get reunited with his lover, and I agree. I think this song, as a whole, is about the man finally getting reunited with his lover, only to kill her as well in the end, and then, realizing what he's done, killing himself. Lets take a look at some lyrics ... Stay out of the light Or the photograph that I gave you You can say a prayer if you need to Or just get in line and I'll grieve you ... I think with this line, the man is with his lover, reunited at last. I think he's worried that, since he's become so accustomed to the life of killing he's been living to get back to her, that in the end he'll end up killing her as well; " ... just get in line and i'll grieve you ... Can I meet you, alone Another night and I'll see you Another night and I'll be you Some other way to continue To hide my face He wants to be with her, but, again, I think he's afraid he'll end up killing her as well. This life is the only life he's got now, and he doesn't know how to stop this urge to kill. Another knife in my hands A stain that never comes off the sheets Clean me off I'm so dirty babe The kind of dirty where the water never cleans off the clothes I keep a book of the names and those Only go so far 'til you bury them So deep and down we go Obviously, talking about the lives he's taken and how he'll live with the memory of what he's done forever (" the kind of dirty where the water never cleans off the clothes "). It ain't the money and it sure as hell ain't just for the fame It's for the bodies I claim and lose When the chorus repeats and he says these lines, the man is explaining that the only reason he killed all those people is to get back to her. He claimed the bodies as his own, then lost their souls to the devil. ...And down we go And we all fall down I tried I tried ... And we'll all dance alone to the tune of your death We'll love again, we'll laugh again And it's better off this way I think, with those two words - "i tried" - the man finally loses it and kills the woman he's been missing all this time. He tried to resist this urge to kill, but finally couldn't take it anymore. Now he's alone, "dancing" to "the tune of her death". In this psychotic state, the man believe it's better off that his lover is dead after all. And never again, and never again They gave us two shots to the back of the head And we're all dead now Well I tried One more night One more night Well I'm laughin' out, cryin' out, laughin' out loud I tried, well I tried, well I tried, 'Cause I tried, but I lied I lied I tried ... He'll never see his lover again, and how he's slowly realizing the horror of what he's done. He tried to resist killing her, and when he told her he wouldn't, he lied. Now he's going into a whole other state of mental instabilities, going crazy over taking the life of his lover (" I'm laughin' out, cryin' out, laughin' out loud ... "). And we'll love again, we'll laugh again We'll cry again and we'll dance again And it's better off this way So much better off this way I can't clean the blood off the sheets in my bed And never again, and never again They gave us two shots to the back of the head And we're all dead now The man feels the only way to make up for what he's done is to kill himself as well. He knows he can't take back what he's done (" I can't clean the blood off the sheets in my bed ") and that if he dies as well, they can be together again ( "We'll love again, we'll laugh again, we'll cry again, and we'll dance again ". Finally, he shoots himself because he can't stand the though of living without her ( " And we're all dead now. "). ... So that's my opinion of what this song means. Beautiful, beautiful song. I thought it was the perfect track to wrap up Three Cheers. Bravo, boys!  |

| Lustful Blood Killjoy Age: 32 Gender: - Posts: 8 | I do not know about everyone else, But this is my personal opinion. I believe he is a murderer because he cannot stand his victim, But when he actually kills her, He feels regret and guilt. Judging by the lines of : And we'll love again, we'll laugh again We'll cry again and we'll dance again And it's better off this way So much better off this way. But eventually I think he remember's how much he couldn't stand her and forgets his redempt. Just my opinion |

| roosje212 Killjoy Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 5 | (srry for my english)i think that this song is (according to the story of the album where everyone is talkin about of killing those 1000 man) about killing the last of those 1000. "Another night and ill see you." it seems that this is the last one and the next day he will see her again. he is very excited, if u listne to the first part of the song, it sounds like he is excited. in the next part, after the first verse something goes wrong("i fall out of grace" ) ...he sounds mad.. he promised her to be with her again, and to succeed in his task, but he fails("i tried, but i lied" )he get killed probably, but he finds out that it's maybe better to be dead with his girlfriend (ion heaven or hell) then alive without her, because he failed to kill the men. my personal opnion is different but it's difficult to explain  |
