I think this song is about a "lost" girl who doesn't get the best out of life. She's always beaten mentally and physically. And then there's this guy who likes her and tells her to stand up for herself. The lyric "Stand up fucking tall. Don't let them see your back" is the source.

The guy is also asking the girl to come with him and together they will fight the persons who are trying to bring them down.

I think this song is about true friendship
Getting through a trouble together
G has been quoted to say everyonw and then
"turn to your best friend and tell them'I fucking love you and would do anythiing for you'Then Hug them as tight as you can"
or something like that im not fully awake but yeah
It also talks about how friends help you get through the tough times
"Take my fucking hand and never be afraid again"
they are telling you not to be afraid..that they are there for you no matter what
i seem to think of Frankl and Gerard ALOT when i listen to this song...

I think the chorus is about being bullied and how you should help otherw with the smae problem as you and how gerard and the other band memebers coped with it.

I think is about a girl who is worried about what the people think of her and her couple.

Gerard has already said in an interview I believe that this is a song about friendship, true friendship. I also think that when they play it in concerts he saids: "Turn to your best friend and give him a fucking hug."

"Stand up fucking tall. Don't let them see your back" I think it's about Dona Micabra (Mistress Death) trying to get this girl and Gerard's trying to tell her to fight back.

I thinks it's kinda a like friendship thing. When I hear the chorus, it's kinda 'I'll help you up when your down. If your bullied (maybe I'm taking this a bit tooo literally but) it's just liek walk away or get them back for what they did, what ever you choose i'll be right beside you .

The music & the lyrics are great, great, very great. I know this song is 'bout friendship, but I don't understand how the title is related to the lyrics & the meaning.

I think Gerard wrote this song while thinking about all of the torment and bullying he went through in high school.

He's saying that we should stand up for ourselves and be proud no matter what anyone says.

The song our lady of Sorrows is written about a couple... they are usually fighting but Gerard says "we could be perfect one last night"... and his girlfriend gets made fun of a lot so Gerard says "Take my f***in' hand, never let them see your back and never be afraid again." This is Gerard saying to the female, "I'll help you through that" but in the end he just continues to fight with her.... i dunno.

"We could be perfect one last night
And die like star crossed lovers when we fight"
I think this means that they could stand uup to the bullies or the people who abused them, and dignifiy themselves, even though they know they could end up dead.[metaphorically]

"Take my hand and then
We'll solve the mystery of laceration gravity"
I've no idea what laceration gravity means.. but lacerations are skin wounds.. so maybe.. solve the mystery of why they are bullied..

"Stand
Up fucking tall
Don't let them see your back and
Take
My fucking hand
And never be afraid again
We've only got one chance to put things at an end"
I think this is telling his friend to not let what they say get to them, that once they stick together they'll be okay.. I think the last line means that they are going to fight the bully, and try to stop it.


"And cross the patron saint of switchblade fights"
I think this refers to the bully in question


"We're not celebrities
We spark and fade
They die by threes"
I think this means they think that they wont live too long, they wont stay there for everyone to see, so they might as well fight the bullies.


"Trust
You said, who put the words in your head"
I think that means the bullies.. his friend thinking everything they said was true and feeling like crap


"Oh, how wrong we were to think
That immortality meant never dying"
Possibly my favourite quote ever, I think this means that because of the bullying, these kids are already dead inside, so even after they've fought these bullies and are still alive [maybe a feeling of immortality that the bullies didn't kill them] they have no life to live becuase the bullies took it away.

Towards cemetary gates said: "I don't understand how the title is related to the lyrics & the meaning."
The song was originally called 'Bring More Knives' but they changed it to Our Lady Of Sorrows- I think, because Gerard is signing to a girl, I think and the title refers to her, because she seems so full of grief and sorrow.

Well that just my [long-winded] Opinion

This is pretty much their most punk song, I think. Isn't it supposed to tie into the Bonnie and Clyde concept of "Bullets"? Y'know, "star-crossed lovers"...

i dont know but for some reason this song reminds me of The Outsiders (the book). if you have never read the book you probably won't understand but its kind of like what they went through. idk maybe im wrong.

i agree with the bullies/friendship theory, but in the end he screams "Just because my hands around your throat" which REALLY confuses me.
