Well now this could be the last of all the rides we take
So hold on tight and don't look back
We don't care about the message
Or the rules they make
I'll find you when the sun goes black
And you only live forever in the lights you make
When we were young
We used to say
That you only hear the music when your heart begins to break
Now we are the kids from yesterday
All the cameras watch the accidents and stars you hate
They only care if you can bleed
Does the television make you feel the pills you ate?
Or every person that you need to be
'Cause you only live forever in the lights you make
When we were young
We used to say
That you only hear the music when your heart begins to break
Now we are the kids from yesterday
Today
Today
We are the kids from yesterday
Today
Here we are and we won't stop breathing
Yell it out 'til your heart stops beating
We are the kids from yesterday
Today
'Cause you only live forever in the lights you make
When we were young
We used to say
That you only hear the music when your heart begins to break
Now we are the kids from yesterday
We are the kids from yesterday |

it's about living in the moment, and never shedding a tear about what happened yesterday. |

Posts: 126288 | January 21st, 2011 at 10:19pm I always felt like this song was about the fans and the band.
How mcr went through a lot of things and so have the fans. How we once were in the past, and how we are now in the future.
It's about how you have be free of everything and live your life.
How all your mistakes, regrest, all the laughter and everything that happened to you made you who you are today.~ |

Posts: 47 | January 22nd, 2011 at 03:39pm I think the song is about the band moving on from the past and shedding their dark exterior/messages and trying to encourage their fans to make the transition with them. "When we were young, we used to say that you only hear the music once your heart begins to break, now we are the kids from yesterday". Seems like they're trying to send the message that all great music isn't built upon pain. Which seems to be a philosophy they might have followed in the past. |

When they started the band, they were in love with it.
Then the did the black parade, and the loved it, until it got so hard to sing baout death everynight, when they were all really enjoying life. Now they are the kids from yesterday, falling in love with their work again.
"We don't care about the message
Or the rules they make"
They dont really care what the media, or even the fans have made them out to be.
"Here we are and we won't stop breathing"
Kinda anti black parade. They arent about death anymore. |

I don't take anything they say in interviews seriously because they tend to let criticism shape their responses. |

Posts: 19 | February 20th, 2011 at 06:34pm i think its about finally growing up, hence the ' we are the kids from YESTERDAY' its a metaphor yesterday meaning years ago like, we have grown up since then ! and that llife isnt all what it seems and even though you ned to grow up you still have to have that small hint of childhood inside you to get through life
also i heard someone that either this song or one of the others songs on dangerdays was dedicated to bandit (gerards daughter) so if it is this song, it kinda makes sence  |

Posts: 2 | February 23rd, 2011 at 07:32am At their gig in Manchester last Friday before Gerard played this he said "This goes out to all the parents and grandparents tonight" so i think it is sort of a tribute to the last generation? I don't know, just a theory |

Posts: 12 | April 5th, 2011 at 05:08pm I believe this song is about themselves growing as a band. "All the cameras watch the accidents and stars you hate. They only care if you can bleed." That line, I feel, describes themselves in the limelight. |

Posts: 1 | July 8th, 2011 at 04:10am To me, this song means a lot about the past and how once it's gone, it's gone and if you made a mistake then, you can't let it stop you from living in the moment. "When we were young we used to say that you only hear the music when your heart begins to break, now we are the kids from yesterday." Obviously someone went through some heartbreak and I think that they're trying not to let it get the best of them. |
