We're never leaving this place alive But if you sing these words, we'll never die Get off the ledge and drop the knife Not a victim of a victim's life Because! This ain't a room full of suicides We're believers, I believe tonight We can leave this world, leave it all behind We can steal this car if your folks don't mind We can live forever if you've got the time If you save yourself tonight I'll tell you all how the story ends Where the good guys die and the bad guys win Who cares! It ain't about all the friends you made But the graffiti they write on your grave For all of us who've seen the light Salute the dead and lead the fight Hail, hail! Who gives a damn if we lose the war? Let the walls come down Let the engines roar! We can leave this world, leave it all behind We can steal this car if your folks don't mind We can live forever if you've got the time I'm the only friend that makes you cry You're a heart attack in black hair dye So just save yourself and I'll hold them back tonight If you save yourself tonight Can you save yourself tonight? Right now! 'Cause I'll hold them back! We can leave this world, leave it all behind We can steal this car if your folks don't mind We can live forever if you've got the time You motherfucker You're the broken glass in the morning light Be a burning star if it takes all night So just save yourself and I'll hold them back tonight If you save yourself tonight Can you save yourself tonight? |

But also how mcr want to say to their fans how they can always be together in a way. Gerard also mentioned that this song was for Bandit and his fans. So it might have alot more meaning. I think for the whole daughter father meaning, it's just that he will be there for her in a way. And that even when he isn't there, she'll be able to protect herself... |

Killjoy  Age: 27 Gender: Female Posts: 1 | In one of their interviews, Gerard says "I wanted to leave a message in a bottle for my daughter" and "I wanted this to be a record for her at fifteen and that's the notion of 'Save yourself, I'll hold them back' kind of came from" He also said "Save yourself i hold them back doesn't necessarily mean I'm turning my back on you It just means you're strong enough to do without me." wanted her to look back if anything were to happen to them or anyone else in the band. To let her know he'll always be there. Link of interview : Interview |

I know that MCR used to be all like "we'll save you," but now it's more like "we'll be there for you when you need it, but you should try to solve your own problems." Yeah. |
