All he wants is to be with her, hense the lyrics "I will avenge my ghost with every breath I take" near the end of the song, the lyrics basically give a message saying that you should live your life to the fullest because "in the end we fall apart just like the leaves changing color" and I guess in a way the man realizes that he will just have to watch over the woman until the day she dies "and then I will be with you" |
| Gerard_Madd Killjoy Age: - Gender: - Posts: 2 | i think its about someone backstabbing you or using you. it seems as if he is trying to tell the person that he will forever hold a grudge, even after death hence the lyrics: I'm comming back from the dead. And I'll take you home with me. I'm taking back the life you stole. Its about how nothing can stop you getting revenge on those who wronged you. this song teaches you never to let anyone take you for granted. Ever. xxx |
| high drama. Awake and Unafraid Age: - Gender: - Posts: 14569 | I've just been playing with the thought of that the name of this song might releate (sorry, I'm not too good at english >< ) to the whole "emo"-thing. People are going on about this whole "trend" to be depressed and hurt yourself when you're what they call "emo". Maybe the title would be about that it's not like that. That the "emokids" who hurt themself really does it because they ARE depressed, not because it's a fucking trend. It's not a fashion statement, it's a fucking deathwish" Does somebody get what I mean, even tho I suck at explaining in english? Anyway, just a thought.. |
| IXWantXYourXBleeders Banned  Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 12 | when i first heard this song, i thought it was a love song, but as i listened to it again and again, i realized it's more along the lines of betrayal. this hole you put me in wasn't deep enough... and i'm climbing out right now this lyric is possibly about two really close friends, possibly two lovers. one of them betrays tha other and kills him/her to cover up some dark secret, and buries hom/her in a secret place. the person who is killed comes back for revenge, and to show that he/she still loves him/her and wants to be with him/her forever(i've ost my fear of falling/ i will be with you) |
| cemetaryprotestlead Killjoy  Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 24 | I think it's about all those stupid cliques. About how trying to fit in, trying to be "cool" is just gonna hurt you. When he says "I'm coming back from the dead, he talkin about how he gonna come back from all that pain of tryin to fit in and just gettin picked on. Just be yourself. The title IT"S NOT A FASHION STATEMENT IT'S A FUCKING DEATHWISH, is saying, it's not an incrowd or anything cool, it's hurtfull and unnesessary |
| earth2themorgue Bleeding on the Floor  Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 1475 | i think its very simple what this song is about: Revenge. |
| frerardskid23 Killjoy Age: - Gender: - Posts: 1 | Ithink its about a man teling this girl he dosent love her and to leave him alone. |
| human wreckage Jazz Hands  Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 298 | this is the MCR song that means the most to me To me it means to rise from the ashes of what you used to be. To not let people (metaphorically) kill you, but to be strong, and get back up on your feet. Its about realising how strong you are, and having the will to fight. |
| MiDesfileNegro Thinking Happy Thoughts  Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 476 | I agree with what other people have said here  .I think the "You get, what everyone else gets, You get a lifetime!" that everyone's wondering about is him referring to how he's sending the people he kills to hell, because I took lifetime to mean forever, and these people aren't going to be escaping from hell any time soon :p |
| Incognito. Bleeding on the Floor  Age: 29 Gender: Female Posts: 1209 | I think the lyric " you get what everyone else gets, you get a lifetime" kind of has to with people living how they want to live you may screw it up but everyone gets given the same thing and how they use it is up to them. but maybe the rest of the song is about betrayal and revenge |
| Pixie-Gates Awake and Unafraid  Age: 35 Gender: Female Posts: 13231 | This song is absolutely effing incredible, and my favourite MCR song ever. My two cents? I think it's a song about revenge, but hidden within the lyrics is a message of hope and sorrow. It fits the theme of vengeance on Three Cheers but I think there's a deeper emotional message. It sounds to me like the person from whose perspective the song is written is planning to take vengeance on someone who wronged them, but this is bittersweet to them, because perhaps the culprit is someone dear or precious to them. An old friend maybe, or a lover, knowing the theme of the album. The lyrics vacillate from venom to despair to poignancy, which leads me to this conclusion - "For what you did to me...you'll get what everyone else gets, you'll get a lifetime." You talk to me, but would you kill me in my sleep? ["Paint these walls in pitchfork red" is, to me, one of the most stunning lyrical depictions of a violent murder ever written] I will avenge my ghost with every breath I take...I'm taking back the life you stole But then towards the end, the lyrics take such a beautiful and harrowing turn. The whole last verse is heartbreaking - When you go, just know that I will remember you If living was the hardest part, we'll then one day be together When in the end we'll fall apart, just like the leaves change in colour And then I will be with you I will be there, one last time now ... I've lost my fear of falling, I will be with you. Those lines to me convey a sense of affection and tenderness towards the target, which makes me think the speaker could be of two minds. Killing the object of their affections, for vengeance or due to circumstances beyond their control, but hoping to be reunited one day. =] Unless, it's just another classic MCR based-on-a-random-comicbook-mixed-with-the-inexplicable-incandescence-of-Gerard's-imagination song. XD |
| Marilyn Monroe Awake and Unafraid  Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 13140 | For me. This song makes me think of a horror movie. Two lovers. Girl kills boy while he's sleeping its a very violent murder.. His spirit comes back to life. He wants revenge. He chases her around, but she's running out of places to hide. He takes her to the grave with him {I'm taking back the life you stole} And he might be unsure whether he wants to kill her or not, because she makes him lose his fear of falling. ^^ I hope that makes sense but thats how I see it |
| icyplut007 Killjoy Age: - Gender: Female Posts: 49 | earth2themorgue: i totally agree. its the most straightforward revenge song on the album. and thats why its so amazing. whats really cool is how in the end he still says 'and then i will be with you, i will be there one last time' because even though the song is about revenge, its also about forgiveness in the end. or maybe 'i hate you for what you did, and will get revenge against you, but i still love you anyway' kind of mixed emotions towards this person. |
| sweetrevenge1405 Killjoy  Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 2 | philosopher of mcr: I would have to mostly agree. I think that this song relates to cemetery drive more then anything. If you take it from the story of the album itself. It is about the boy and his quest to get back his lover, whom has moved on. But you do make a good point. |
| sweetrevenge1405 Killjoy Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 2 | I would also like to add. This is also one of my favored songs. |
| BloodRogue Killjoy Age: 27 Gender: Female Posts: 1 | technicolor.:Tbh, He wrote this song when its nan had just died, And all the others on the alubm. It was a way for him to express his feelings and share them with his fans. By him I mean Gerrard. =D |
| StandUpEffingTall! Killjoy  Age: 27 Gender: Female Posts: 33 | This is about someone who dies emotionaly or phisicaly and comes back from the dead to get revenge. Side Note: this is how i feel now, hence my new username. |
| Raven_Way Killjoy  Age: 28 Gender: Female Posts: 13 | I think it's about being wronged by someone and then (as Gee is so well know by my friends for) wanting/going though with some form of revenge *evil smile* although you still have feelings for them. |
| photocopied_dreamx3 Killjoy  Age: 29 Gender: Female Posts: 65 | This has currently been my favorite song. I think it's about being in a destructive relationship. |
