Re: "I was killing before killing was cool."
To me, this line seems to be in the same vein as most of "Thanks for the Venom," especially lines like, "I wouldn't front the scene if you paid me/I'm just the way that the doctor made me." It seems kind of like he's saying, "I was born this way; I'm not faking it just to be in your scene."
Yeah that's what I thought too, you're much better at explaining than me. lol.
Every song has a meaning, even if it is just for fun, its probably not as deep as we're thinking but it's still interesting to find out everyone's personal interpretations even if we can't find out MCR's. |

i agree... you couldn't write a song and sing it if it meant nothing to you... even if it was just about something you saw that day, or something you wish would happen, your feelings...
people like songs because something in it means something to them, it makes you feel a certain way... if you take the meaning out of the song theres no feeling when you sing or play it... |

About how it's about all the fake friends/fans who only like them NOW because they're famous. And that when they break up they're shed 'fake' tears, but then move on to some other band, ect. Her idea was really good. |

Posts: 688 | November 12th, 2007 at 07:14pm Does anyone think it has any connections to The Unbrella Academy? Because the 2007 Dark Horse Comics Free Comic Book Day issue was titled “…But the Past Ain’t Through With You.” And then the second issue of the actual comic book was titled “We Only See Each Other At Weddings And Funerals”. Maybe Gerard was writing the comic book series and felt inspired to include the themes into a song.
The plot of the comic book mirrors the song lyrics. The leader of a school for super heroes dies and all the super heros have to come back together for his funeral. They haven't seen each other for many years and many of them are bitter towards one another. But they all get together to bury their friend. And of course, they were all in this super hero "school" together and grew up with all sorts of identity "problems". Then there's the Rumor character whose power is to lie. It's all very interesting, to say the least... |

My guess is it was supposed to be the last song on the album (besides blood of corse (sp?)
Who knows, the high school thing does make sence though...
Edit:
Just wondering, why do you think the year goes up by one each time the chorus is sung?
Or am I just crazy? lol
About the years going up...
Alot of bands do that when talking about long periods of time.
for instance. Green Day. Wake Me Up When September Ends- "7 Years has gone so fast"... (Later in song) " 20 years has gone so fast."
It's basically to make the illusion and feeling of the time passing so fast you can barely keep up... |

that's true! I write a lot of songs...and I write them to clear my head and they make me feel a certain way, and they've actually helped others!  |

Or maybe asking respected for the dead?
Also i think the title of the song is a parody of Taking back sundays album tell all your friends since there close friends. |

Posts: 2601 | January 2nd, 2008 at 04:29am the title itself is a clue, methinks. kill ur toxic 'friends', the ones who mean nothing & who make u feel like crap  well, it could be as simple as that. 
it's funny tho - the lines "we all want to party when the funeral ends". bcoz at chinese funerals (or rather malaysian-chinese) it's more or less like a get-together where, after the prayers and rituals are over, relatives & friends who seldom see each otehr catch up by drinking & eating at a sort of funeral buffet. looking at some of them, u wouldnt know a person had died. can burn up a small fortune, too, hosting the event. i dunno abt westerners, but where i come from the big funeral parlors make a killing.
well, i'm sure they didnt mean it in that sense, but just thought id share that with u guys |

Posts: 12077 | January 9th, 2008 at 07:43am EATEN ALIVE:Well you can hide a lot about yourself/But honey what are you gonna do?
And you can sleep in a coffin/But the past ain’t through with you
-now that Gerard and guys are famous, they can only try their best to keep their private lives private, but people are desperate to know everything bout them, and in the end they cant hide that much.
-the coffin-part; like even if you knowgo back to your home and hide, people still want to know bout you, still want to see you just cause you're a star.
; and, when Gerard had addictions once, even he recovered from them, they still are a part of his life. they'll always be there-> "past aint through with you"
'Cause we are all a bunch of liars/Tell me baby who do you wanna be?
-basicly its that their fans want to make them into these great, bigger beings than just average guys who play well and got lucky.
'Cause we all wanna party when the funeral ends
And we all get together when we bury our friends
Its been 8/9/10 (fucking) bitter years since I’ve been seeing your face
-im not sure what the 'funeral' is metaphore to, bu i feel like this is just saying that if MCR dies out/stops playing, all those fakers around them sure will cry fake tears for them and be so sorry and sad and stuff, but then.. they'll move on to another party, be fakers to another band that is big.
and the years that go on.. tell that sure, NOW that they are big and famous, they're good enough for all those people who looked down at them in high school and so on. NOW those people want to be friends, pretend that they were friends all along.
-and also bout addictions, they can any time rise their ugly faces and then Gerard goes like," didnt i deal with you already" -> its been 8/9/10 years since ive been seeing..
Sometimes your scraping sinks so low/I’m shocked at what you’re capable of
And if this is a coronation/I ain’t feeling the love
'Cause we’re all a bunch of animals/And never paid attention in school
-they are shocked at what people will do just to get a piece of them, shocked at people wanting to be their friends just cause they are famous.
-they dont want to be made into any rockgods, at least not this way, not by people who really dont care and are just faking it all. cause in the end they are just normal guys, "bunch of animals" like normal, goofy, mistakes-making guys are.
So tell me all about your problems/ I was killing before killing was cool
You’re so cool, you’re so cool, so cool
- irony here. they dont really care for problems of fakers who dont care bout them.
- they were the same guys before they became big, but its NOW that people think they're cool.
You’ll never take me alive, you’ll never take me alive
Do what it takes to survive 'cause I’m still here
You’ll never get me alive, you’ll never take me alive...
-those fakers cant turn these guys into what they want to, they wont change them; they wont let it happen, cause for them its not for the fame.
- aand also bout addictions; Gerard saying that he wont let them bring him down anymore, it over, he's gonna survive.
thats what i think.
edit: and the title; Kill all your friends..
-"kill" those fakers, fakefriends
-kill addiction, that bring you comfort for a while but in a long run make you more miserable. This is very well explained. I love it!  |

But yeah, other than that line I agree with EATEN ALIVE. |

I could be about Gerards past.
My first thought when I heard the song was teenagers.
Somehow, this song reminds me of teenagers.

Posts: 15 | January 17th, 2008 at 11:42am Well you can hide a lot about yourself
But honey what are you gonna do?
And you can sleep in a coffin,
But the past ain’t through with you
'Cause we are all a bunch of liars,
Tell me baby who do you wanna be?
And we are all about to sell it
'Cause its tragic with a capital ‘T’
Let it be, Let it be, Let it be
This part really speaks to me as people being superficial and fake. You know how like all the girls in school go around with big plastic smiles and all? Also, the part about the coffin to me is like running from your problems but they're still going to catch up with you...dunno lemme know what you think. |
