meanings
- Honey, this mirror isn't big enough for the both of us - this song is about a guy deciding that a fake life with a woman is leading him nowhere and wants to cut it off. Despite the fact that he seems popular being with this woman and that she wants him, he's drinking, they fight, and all his friends are fake. It is a song about not setting out for the high life.
- Vampires will never hurt you - The meaning of this song was explained as a metaphoric critique to the society. The 'vampires' represent greedy and ambitious human beings.
- Drowning lessons - ''A thousand bodies piled up, i never thought would be enough to show you just what i've been thinking'' - in order to be with his lover he must kill 100 people to prove that he loves her and to get out of purgatory and be with her. ''These hands, stained red, from the times i have killed you and then we can wash this engagement ring with poison and kerosene'' - He has killed so many people and he is ashamed, he thinks that the blood will never wash from his hands, and he knows he will never be able to marry his lover so he wants to kill himself. ''we'll laugh as we die, and we'll celebrate the end of things with cheap champagne'' - Once he has collected the 100 corpses to join purgatory and be join his lover, and they can laugh and celebrate together.
- Our lady of sorrows - This song is about friendship. best friends. ''Take my fucking hand and never be afraid again'' (at a concert once Gerard said before this song 'you probably came here with one of your best friends i want you to turn to that motherf***er grab him/her by the throat and say you're my best fu***ng friend and i would die for you)!!!!!!!!!!!
- headfirst for halos - this song deals with drugs and suicide. lines like ''we'll fly home'' and ''i think i'll blow my brains against the ceiling'' indicates the singer is getting high and having suicidal thoughts. MCR wrote this song for the people who are so down and depressed and they feel like they need to kill themselves - they wrote it to try and make these people happier. this song also started out as a joke, but lead singer gerard way saw the potential in the song and encouraged the band to develop it.
- skylines and turnstiles - this song is about the september 11th 2001 terrorist attacks on the US, specifically in New York City (turnstiles are part of the subway system). it was the first song that was ever wrote by My Chemical Romance.
- This song is about a man and his wife who run away, but try and hide from vampires. unfortunately his wife gets bitten by a vampire and though she says she loves him very much, he is forced to kill her before she becomes a vampire.
- This is the best day ever - This song is about being in a hospital, and wanting to escape. It's about how the hospital at night plays tricks on your mind and makes you imagine things, ''well i thought i heard you say i like you, we can get out, we don't have to stay, when he finally gets out of there it will be the best day ever.
- Cubicles - This song is about a guy who falls in love with a girl who works a few cubicles down in an office workplace, but she leaves and his world falls apart. the whole CD is about classical movie plots, with themes of vampires, zombies, office romance, and lovers running from law together.
- demolition lovers - this song is about lovers running from law together, sort of like bonnie and clyde romance story, though it talks about the lovers ultimately falling in a hail of bullets, it is still romance in that the characters were so in love with each other again like bonnie and clyde!!!
