I honestly never thought about the song in terms of the Patient or MCR, this is just what the lyrics sound like to me. To me, it sounds like some creepy stalker dude who kidnaps the object of his fixation. Whenever I hear the song, I see this girl locked in a big, lush room that looks kinda like I pictured the red room in Jane Eyre (if anyone's read that...). It doesn't have any windows and everything's done up in red velvet. It's very nice, but also opulent to the point of gaudiness; it's a little overdone. And the girl is in a matching velvet dress, but her hair and makeup look vaguely clownish because she's too pale and sick-looking to pull it off. So she just sits there on this big canopy bed, not crying but not really moving either. Nobody's looking for her because she was alone (you were always born a crime), so she's left to waste away in the room. The song is told from the stalker's point of view. He says things like "I'm your biggest fan" and etc. that show he's a little obsessive. The place where my view could fall apart would be the chorus. "Can't find my way home Cause it's through you and I know What I'd do just to get back in your arms" Because the chorus sounds really sweet, like something you'd say to a lover. But paired with "Oxycontin, genocide, Adolescent suicide, Give you my sincerity A fuck about a Kennedy" It sounds like he's listing what he'd do to be with her. So he loves her, but it's twisted and obsessive and dangerous to both of them. The part that freaked me out the most was the last lines, "Come on angel, don't you cry". Because that's such a sweet thing to say, but the only thing I could see was a faceless stalker guy in the velvet room, saying it to this miserable girl he claims to love. Freaked me out. So that's my take. But I have an overactive imagination. I'm probably wrong.  |

| sweetblackdays Killjoy Age: - Gender: - Posts: 19 | Gonna take off all my skin, Tear apart all of my insides, When they rifle in, - I think this is a reference to war, like how he hates it, 'when they rifle in (go to war) it makes me want to tear myself apart, rip my insides out'. So it could be the patient realising how much he hated being in the army, or just Gerard's views in general. Mom and Dad think you'll be saved, -Your parents think you'll be okay, and you will survive warfare. They never had the time, - They didn't take the time to listen to what you wanted. They're gonna medicate your lives, - another way of saying they'll control your life. You were always born a crime, - This makes me think of teenage pregnancy like having sex illegally (under 16) so they baby was born out of a criminal offence as such. Could be that the patient was born out of teen pregnancy in a time when it was abnormal and unheard of. So his parents tried to 'better him' and sign him up for the army to become say noble? We salute you in your grave. - You could well die in the army, and of course a army salute. Can't find my way home, - lost in the warfare, can't get home. But it's through you - wherever his mum is, is home? and I know, What I'd do just to get back in her arms, - he'd do just about anything to get home to his mum....or he met someone Can't find my way home, But it's through you and I know, What I'd do just to get back in her arms. - repeated suggests that its a ongoing situation, that he's always thinking of getting 'home'. [Spoken in background] (Well my gun fires seven different shades of shit, So what's your favorite color, punk?) - again a reference to war 'gun'. This could be that he's got into the morale of war and its kinda like he's saying it to the opposing side. Do you wanna hold my hand? - could be that when he came home he had kids, like holding his little one's hand? Could you sign this photograph, 'Cause I'm your biggest fan, -His child is proud of their daddy and looks up to him? Or maybe he came home and became a war hero? Would you leave me lying here? - maybe he shot someone and remembers there dying face even years after the war, this could be there final words. The reason why it's in this verse is like no matter how happy he is, horrific things still happened. We're not here to pay a compliment, Or sing about the government, Oxycontin genocide, Adolescent suicide, - I do personally think this could have something to do with the 13 year old girl that killed herself, and in the next lines its like, 'i can be sincere and care about her death, but i still don't care what anyone thinks about us no matter how high their social status is' (Kennedy being a president) and MCR got alot of shit after the girl died. I'll give you my sincerity, {Don't give} a fuck about a Kennedy, Here's what I've got to say. -This is from Gerard's point of view, its like, 'we're not here to sing about all this stuff (things listed) however I'll be sincere with you and tell you what I think and just be me'....kinda. .... C'mon angel dont you cry. - This could be 'dont cry about what has happened, dont worry, it wasnt your fault' (either that war kicked off in the first place, or he got signed up for the army by his parents), Or it could be a message to fans saying 'cheer up no need to cry about whatever has happend it'll all be okay in the end' kind of like reassuring everyone <3 This is what I personally think, however many of the reasons stated above fit perfectly as well, i do like the one about being from a fan's point of view. Also considering that this song is a B-side to Black Parade which is a concept around the patient, my theory does possible fit. But as Gerard has said, all their songs have the original true meanings, but can also be whatever fans make of them. <3  |
