Headfirst For Halos and Dead! sound the same.

Like the way the songs go in style and such. I have no idea if that's what you mean though.

They seem to use the "hotel" theme a lot.
"Check into the Hotel Bella Muerte..." --Jetset.
"Jet black hotel mirror..." --FLW
"I'm at this old hotel..." --Heaven Help Us
"Do you have the keys to the hotel?!" --Prison
If this is the type of recurrance you're talking about, at least.

Well there are a lot of recurring themes...
Like blood [obviously xD], war, oh yeah and 'three cheers' or maybe i'm confusing that with The Used. Umm...I had a whole list in my head, but it sort of went kaput.
But they use guns a lot. This has probably already been said somewhere...

I noticed the term "watercooler romance" in Cubicles and it's also at the end sequence in the video for INO. Yeah, they repeat a bit...xD

And they of course have the reoccuring themes involving guns...heaven...hell...death...church...

I noticed that too. At the beginning, I think the guitars and stuff kinda sound the same. They're still amazing songs though.

yeah there are a lot of recurring themes in all their songs thruout all the albums -- guns, violence, death & getting over death, the undead (vampires/zombies/etc), suicide, religion,... remember, alot of their imagery is also inspired by comic books & those dark edgy graphic novels Gee loves. as well as the occasional reference to different works of literature... well, there are so many rich fascinating metaphors and themes in their songs. it's what keeps u in love with them

The bright lights are used a lot as metaphors (sp?) and such:

"These bright lights are always blinding me" -Famous Last Words.

"And these bright lights won't kill me now, or show me how (I'm not sure that's exactly right...?) - It's Not A Fashion Statement, It's A Deathwish.

And, nearly the same: "A light to burn all the empires" - The Sharpest Lives.

lostinthedark213:
I've noticed that the term 'starless eyes' is used in couple of songs:
Just you and I, your starless eyes remain-It's not a fashion statement.....
Starless eyes for Heaven's sake-This is the best day ever
So what does the term 'starless eyes' mean?

Dead,feelingless,numb,

Death -- obviously enough
And drag -- weirdly enough

Black Parade - "I'm just a man/I'm not a hero/I'm just a boy/I'm glad you seen this show/but I don't Care!"
Sing - "I am not the singer that you wanted but a dancer/I refuse to answer/Talk about the past, sir/Wrote it for the ones who want to get away"
G is saying that he can't save us, we must save ourselves, and never give up on ourselves.
