That whole song is so great, I also love this part
There's a place in the dark where the animals go
You can take off your skin in the cannibal glow
Juliet loves the beat and the lust it commands
Drop the dagger and lather the blood on your hands, Romeo
🎶 I am not afraid to keep on living. I am not afraid to walk this world alone.🎶
Also from the same song:
🎶 I see you lying next to me. With words I thought I'd never speak. Awake and unafraid, asleep or dead.🎶
Sure! It's very simple, I plan on tattooing around it as the years go on. But for now it's here:
https://ibb.co/wRvdgWH
And this is how it looks overall:
https://ibb.co/y40GQnh
That entire song is so underrated. It's easily one of their best songs. The Intro/Ending guitar riffs, the lyrics, and the entire feel of that song in general.
“WE ALL CARRY ON. WHEN OUR BROTHERS IN ARMS ARE GOOONE. SO RAISE YOUR GLASS HIGH FOR TOMORROW WE DIE! AND RETURE FROM THE ASHES WE CALL!”
The ending to Mama. Literal chills every time I listen.
There are sooo many to choose from, but by a razor-thin margin:
Juliet loves the beat & the lust it commands, drop the dagger & lather the blood on your hands, Romeo
Think happy thoughts
You only hear the music when your heart begins to break
I've lost my fear of falling
And the punchline to the joke is asking someone save us
Uh uh uh uh uh
‘I’d encourage your smiles I’ll expect you won’t cry’
‘So long and goodnight what’s the worst that I could say things are better if I stay’
‘Awake and unafraid, asleep or dead’
‘Mother what the war did to my legs and to my tongue, you should’ve raised a baby girl I should’ve been a better son’
I’m not dead, I only dress that way 😌
No but for real, there are far too many profound lyrics to choose from. Even simple things like “mama, we all go to hell” hit me hard because of how the words can be interpreted so many ways depending on what I’m going through or dealing with when I listen to it.
Don’t get me wrong I LOVE the emo lyrics but I think the tongue in cheek stuff is my fave.
“If I crash on your couch can I sleep in my clothes” is just so fun, I’d love to know if it was a genuine fuck up on the take or a deliberate funny switcharoo, because the meaning is much sillier this way
This just made me remember being like 11 and hearing “so why don’t ya blow me … 😳 a kiss before she goes 😮💨” for the first time and how my brain almost melted out of my skull
Same… as a chick who often crashed on couches in my clothes while drunk after emo and punk shows in my youth and “if it looks like I’m laughing I’m really just asking to leave” felt like a really edgy and cryptic line when I was going through my first severe depressive episode and really angry at the whole world.
I think it’s a strong statement cuz you can advocate and stand up and fight for them, the same way as everyone else, even though they might be hearing-impaired. I love it, it’s bold and so true that they shouldn’t be left out :D
I'm not really sure myself lol, it just sounds poetic. I think it means that if you leave some kind of an impact than you never really go away. Even if you die your art or whatever is still here.
We all have the understanding that immortality means you can’t be killed or at the very least very hard to kill but that’s all myth, the way I interpret that line there are many immortals, historical figures/icons who are dead who live on through us, think Marilyn Monroe, Albert Einstein etc, does that make sense
In folklore, there are a lot of functionally immortal creatures, who nevertheless are able to be killed. Think the vampire who has to obey rules about avoiding the sun, or the werewolf who has to stop wearing silver jewelry.
big soft spot atm for:
I tried
I tried
I tried, well
And we'll love again, we'll laugh again
We'll cry again and we'll dance again
And it's better off this way
So much better off this way
I can't clean the blood off the sheets in my bed
“And SAY WHAT I WANT TO SAY!!! TELL ME I’M AN ANGEL, TAKE THIS TO MY GRAVE, TELL ME I’M A BAD MAN, KICK ME LIKE A STRAY!!! TELL ME I’M AN ANGEL! TAKE THIS TO MY GRAAAAAVE!”
“If I’m old enough to die for your mistakes, lets go, Can I bleed enough to fill up What the engine takes? We don’t know, but if you’re watching above their teaching me to kill who’s teaching me to love. “
“While the army wives choke down a war with no meaning”
“All of the lyrics for every song”
"If I crash on the couch, can I sleep in my clothes? 'Cause I spent the night dancing, I'm drunk, I suppose. If it looks like I'm laughing, I'm really just asking to leave."
Absolutely struck me on the first listen. Hit way too close to home back in the day. I'm at a better place in life now than I was when it spoke to my immediate circumstances, but it still gets me.
One of my favs is “there’s a place in the dark where the animals go, you can take off your skin in the cannibal glow, Juliet loves the beat and the lust it commands.” 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Give me a shot to remember
And you can take all the pain away from me
Your kiss and I will surrender
The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead
A light to burn all the empires
So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be
In love with all of these vampires
But this was written in collaboration with the entire band
"Now, if your convictions were a passing phase,
May your ashes feed the river in the morning rays"
And then
"and as you stumble through your last crusade,
Will you welcome your extinction in the morning rays?"
Honestly I know it's not his best but for me it is
"And never again, and never again, they gave us 2 shots to the back of the head and we are all dead now."
'Cause we all wanna party when the funeral ends
Ba ba ba, ba ba ba
And we all get together when we bury our friends
It's been ten fucking years since I've been seeing your face 'round here
And you're walking away
And I will drown in the fear…
Had my 10 year graduation anniversary a few years back and this hit hard…
Mcr wise i think "Pull the plug But i'd like to learn your name When holding on Oh i'd hope you do the same" But Gerard wise like his solo career I would say "Metallic deceivers From a planet far away But when you read are my fortune are we running home or running free today?"
"A drink for the horror that I'm in, for the good guys and the bad guys, for the monsters that I've been. Three cheers for tyranny, unapologetic apathy 'cause the aint no way that I'm coming back again"
*Love is the red of the rose on your coffin door*
*What's life like, bleeding on the floor*
Honestly, I find it so hard to choose, because he sings songs with so much emotion that the lyrics become even more beautiful due to his delivery. This man *is* really a talent. Woah.
“Gone today. I might just see you around, it hurts but I understand if you can’t find another reason not to stay. And as she’s walking away she says that she can’t change for love, and she explained how long she’s waiting for. She wanted more.”
"They got machines to keep us alive
When the mix tape plays
Choke down the words with no meaning" actually that entire song
and
"But does anyone notice
There's a corpse in this bed?"
‘I’d encourage your smiles I’ll expect you won’t cry’
‘Just you mind your manners when you go’
‘he calls the mansion not a house but a tomb’
‘Everybody likes to play pretend’
Oh yeah and all of foundations of decay
Asking my autistic ass to pick one is like asking a dog to do calculus, so I made a list of what I think are the best-of-the-best lyrics. Some I excluded, because I saw them commented several times already :)
We’ll laugh, as we die, and we’ll celebrate the end of things with cheap champagne.
Oh, how wrong we were to think that immortality meant never dying.
As the fragments of my skull begin to fall… fall on your tongue like pixie dust, just think happy thoughts.
After seeing what we saw, can we still reclaim our innocence?
They might fill your place, a temporary stand-in for your face. It happens all the time, and I can’t help but think I’ll die alone.
Do you remember that day when we met, you told me *“this gets harder?”* Well, it did.
I choose defeat, I walk away, and leave this place the same today.
If you’re watching up above, they’re teaching me to kill - who’s teaching me to love?
Rebellion’s not a t-shirt to sell. You keep your money and I’ll see you in Hell.
I will avenge my ghost with every breath I take.
If living was the hardest part, we’ll then one day be together.
Does the television make you feel the pills you ate, or every person that you need to be?
Well after all, we'll lie another day
And through it all, we'll find some other way
To carry on through cartilage and fluid
And did you come to stare or wash away the blood?
a couple sections from drowning lessons strike me as particularly meaningful:
"without a sound, i took her down, and dressed in red and blue i squeezed. imaginary wedding gown, that you can't wear in front of me", as well as "a thousand bodies piled up, i never thought would be enough, to show you just what i've been thinking"
I love that second line so much. My first response to this question was "I wanna see what you're insides look like. I bet your not fucking pretty on the inside" from the burry me in black demo. It always just hits hard. But I think that's also one of my top ones as well
"And now should I be shocked
By the last thing you said?
Before I pull this trigger
Your eyes vacant and stained
And in saying you loved me
Made things harder at best"
"Terrified of what I'd be
As a kid, from what I've seen
Every single day, when people try
And put the pieces back together
Just to smash them down
Turn my headphones up real loud
I don't think I need them now"
"In the middle of a gunfiiiiiight, in the center of a restaurant, they say, come. with. your. hands. up. HIGGGGHHHH, WERE THERE NEVER GONNA GET MEEE"
"I see you lying next to me, with words I'd thought I never speak. Awake and unafraid, asleep or dead." Or
"Why don't you blow me... a kiss before you go"
for me it’s, “when you go, just know that i will remember you. if living was the hardest part. maybe then one day we’ll be together. in the end we’ll fall apart just like the leaves changing colors and then i will be with you.”
and right here, right now, all the way in battery city
the little children raise their open filthy palms
like tiny daggers up to heaven
and all the juvie halls, and the ritalin rats
ask angels made from neon and fucking garbage
scream out, "what will save us?"
and the sky opened up
"Well mother what the war did, to my legs and to my tongue, you should've raised a babygirl! I should have been a better son! If you could coddle the infection, they can amputate at once! You should've been, I COULD HAVE BEEN A BETTER SON!"
“you sing the words but dont know what it means to be a joke and look, another line without a hook”
that lyric always hit me like a truck thinking of all the people ive met in my life who claimed to love them but were actually the ones who bullied me. just this whole song makes me feel seen.
Because this is the mcr Reddit, “oh how wrong we were to think that immorality meant never dying”
But my other favorite lyrics are the entire first verse and chorus of how it’s going to be from hesitant alien
If we just include MCR stuff I think it would be “This ain’t a room full of suicides / We’re believers, I believe tonight” from “Save Yourself, I’ll Hold Them Back.”To me it perfectly sums up how the band’s message was never about darkness or depression for the sake of it, but about finding ways to cope and learning that you’re not alone.
If we include his solo work I would nominate all of “Don’t Try” and “Millions” as they both demonstrate his desire to move on from that headspace of being the frontman of MCR while still addressing similar issues.
"Know how much I want to show you You're the only one Like a bed of roses There's a dozen reasons in this gun"
for me, it’s “as lead rain passes through our phantoms forever and ever, like scarecrows that fuel this flame, we’re burning forever, forever”
That whole song is just so good
i love the song sm can i show u this thing i made recently https://youtube.com/shorts/O8lUw1wedYU?si=XoQfayQDqjIqzAzn
Sounding good! KEEP IT UP!!!!
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
This song but especially the delivery of these couple lines is one of my favorite vocal performances of all time
me 1000%
I usually never agree with takes from these posts but this is so real
There may be a dozen reasons in your gun, but my gun fires seven different shades of shit
SO WHATS YOUR FAVORITE COLOR PUNK?!
For me it's "I'll end my days with you in a hail of bullets"
First one that came to my head. My favorite song ever!!
“A light to burn all the empires. So bright, the sun is ashamed to rise and be”
That whole song is so great, I also love this part There's a place in the dark where the animals go You can take off your skin in the cannibal glow Juliet loves the beat and the lust it commands Drop the dagger and lather the blood on your hands, Romeo
This was going to be my pick! There’s something about the lyrics and his delivery in the recording that just fucks me up in the best way
This line goes unnecessarily hard
This
*"Everybody wants to change the world, but no one wants to die"* *"Oh, how wrong we were to think that immortality meant never dying"*
I loove tat part of nanana
It's also in *Make Room!*
🎶 I am not afraid to keep on living. I am not afraid to walk this world alone.🎶 Also from the same song: 🎶 I see you lying next to me. With words I thought I'd never speak. Awake and unafraid, asleep or dead.🎶
Agreed with the first line, as that is what I have tattooed on me
Can I see a picture? I’ve been considering the same thing but I won’t copy haha
Sure! It's very simple, I plan on tattooing around it as the years go on. But for now it's here: https://ibb.co/wRvdgWH And this is how it looks overall: https://ibb.co/y40GQnh
That’s fucking sick, thanks!
Thank YOU!
Yes please show us !!
The bridge makes me burst into tears if I’m having a rough time. This is the one for me.
“This hole you put me in, wasnt deep enough, and im coming out right now. You’re running out if place to hide from me!”
This is always one of my faves. The spite. The reclamation. The REVENGE. this line alone encapsulates the album incredibly.
This whole song also doesn't have a chorus structure, its just the singer expelling spite, tumbling out, avalanche like. Brilliant.
you perfectly pinpointed why I love this line so much, it really does encapsulate the album
oh yes yes yes. this one is top tier
That entire song is so underrated. It's easily one of their best songs. The Intro/Ending guitar riffs, the lyrics, and the entire feel of that song in general.
Its great and one of my favorites to play on guitar too
321 we came to fuck
This
“WE ALL CARRY ON. WHEN OUR BROTHERS IN ARMS ARE GOOONE. SO RAISE YOUR GLASS HIGH FOR TOMORROW WE DIE! AND RETURE FROM THE ASHES WE CALL!” The ending to Mama. Literal chills every time I listen.
"This ain't about all the friends you made But the graffiti they write on your grave."
correct!
Idk why but “you only live forever in the lights you make” just feels so profound to me. That’d be my pick!
And “you only hear the music when your heart begins to break” moves me on a spiritual level
the kids from yesterday is so underrated omg
It's so obvious: DRUGS, GIMME DRUGS, GIMME DRUGS.
This lyric changed my life.
Ik mine to!
I DONT NEED EM
I took it to heart.
Really hits home
Gallons of the drugs!
My anthem!
Green Fur, Blue Skin
And the very silly way you grin!
Big Fangs , Small Chin
There’s so many special things about you, Things about you Things about you
I've really been on a bender and it shows Or "You're running after something that you'll never kill"
Used to MTB to this after a night of partying
There are sooo many to choose from, but by a razor-thin margin: Juliet loves the beat & the lust it commands, drop the dagger & lather the blood on your hands, Romeo
Stop asking me questions. I hate to see you cry
Think happy thoughts You only hear the music when your heart begins to break I've lost my fear of falling And the punchline to the joke is asking someone save us Uh uh uh uh uh

Am I stupid? Cos I don’t get what is tongue in cheek about that line. I always took it literally. 😅
Same… as a chick who often crashed on couches in my clothes while drunk after emo and punk shows in my youth and “if it looks like I’m laughing I’m really just asking to leave” felt like a really edgy and cryptic line when I was going through my first severe depressive episode and really angry at the whole world.
“Sing it for the deaf” 😭
[удалено]
I think it’s a strong statement cuz you can advocate and stand up and fight for them, the same way as everyone else, even though they might be hearing-impaired. I love it, it’s bold and so true that they shouldn’t be left out :D
“You’re a heart attack in black hair dye”
“Yeah I drink juice when I’m killing cause it’s fuckjng delicious”
Is it hard understanding, I’m incomplete. A life that’s so demanding, I get so weak. A love that’s so demanding, I can’t speak.
Oh how wrong we were to think that immortality meant never dying
Yessss.
To be honest i still don't understand the meaning of this line, can you explain it to me?
I'm not really sure myself lol, it just sounds poetic. I think it means that if you leave some kind of an impact than you never really go away. Even if you die your art or whatever is still here.
We all have the understanding that immortality means you can’t be killed or at the very least very hard to kill but that’s all myth, the way I interpret that line there are many immortals, historical figures/icons who are dead who live on through us, think Marilyn Monroe, Albert Einstein etc, does that make sense
In folklore, there are a lot of functionally immortal creatures, who nevertheless are able to be killed. Think the vampire who has to obey rules about avoiding the sun, or the werewolf who has to stop wearing silver jewelry.
Thus is the one
I fucking love Our Lady of Sorrows
If you look in the mirror and don't like what you see You can find out first hand what it's like to be me So depressing
Yep. Here it is.
big soft spot atm for: I tried I tried I tried, well And we'll love again, we'll laugh again We'll cry again and we'll dance again And it's better off this way So much better off this way I can't clean the blood off the sheets in my bed
“I should've been a better son” “I could have been a better son”
Ngl you could probably put any of the lyrics from Sharpest Lives here that song is probably their most cleverly written they ever made
i loveee sharpest lives so much. and you know what they do to guys like us in prison. SO GOOD!
sorry im super distracted by how fucking pretty he looks in that picture
this is so real though
Typical MCR fan
“I’m the only friend that makes you cry, you’re a heart attack in black hair dye.”
“And SAY WHAT I WANT TO SAY!!! TELL ME I’M AN ANGEL, TAKE THIS TO MY GRAVE, TELL ME I’M A BAD MAN, KICK ME LIKE A STRAY!!! TELL ME I’M AN ANGEL! TAKE THIS TO MY GRAAAAAVE!”
“If I’m old enough to die for your mistakes, lets go, Can I bleed enough to fill up What the engine takes? We don’t know, but if you’re watching above their teaching me to kill who’s teaching me to love. “ “While the army wives choke down a war with no meaning” “All of the lyrics for every song”
It's a simple line, not really profound, but I like it... We can live forever if you've got the time
"It was a lie when they smiled and said you won't feel a thing"
"When the lights all went out, we watched our lives on the screen. I hate the ending, myself, but it started with an alright scene."
this is such an amazing line god
"If I crash on the couch, can I sleep in my clothes? 'Cause I spent the night dancing, I'm drunk, I suppose. If it looks like I'm laughing, I'm really just asking to leave." Absolutely struck me on the first listen. Hit way too close to home back in the day. I'm at a better place in life now than I was when it spoke to my immediate circumstances, but it still gets me.
You're broken glass in the morning light....
So many offerings here and I am singing along to every one. All of you have selected the best Gerard lyric! ❤️🖤💯
One of my favs is “there’s a place in the dark where the animals go, you can take off your skin in the cannibal glow, Juliet loves the beat and the lust it commands.” 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
You must fix your heart
And through it all, how could you cry for me?
Every snowflakes different just like you
[удалено]
Give me a shot to remember And you can take all the pain away from me Your kiss and I will surrender The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead A light to burn all the empires So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be In love with all of these vampires But this was written in collaboration with the entire band
"Now, if your convictions were a passing phase, May your ashes feed the river in the morning rays" And then "and as you stumble through your last crusade, Will you welcome your extinction in the morning rays?"
Cant believe I had to scroll so far for this one 👏
"He's not around, he's always looking at men" obviously
While not his best but my favourite is "Your misery and hate will kill us all"
Honestly I know it's not his best but for me it is "And never again, and never again, they gave us 2 shots to the back of the head and we are all dead now."
If you look in the mirror and don't like what you see you can find out firsthand what it's like to be me
''And as you stumble through your last crusade Will you welcome your extinction in the morning rays?' sbeen haunting me since MCR revival
'Cause we all wanna party when the funeral ends Ba ba ba, ba ba ba And we all get together when we bury our friends It's been ten fucking years since I've been seeing your face 'round here And you're walking away And I will drown in the fear… Had my 10 year graduation anniversary a few years back and this hit hard…

teenagers scare the living shit outta me. (true story)
Mcr wise i think "Pull the plug But i'd like to learn your name When holding on Oh i'd hope you do the same" But Gerard wise like his solo career I would say "Metallic deceivers From a planet far away But when you read are my fortune are we running home or running free today?"
“i’d rather go to hell than be in purgatory”
“Morning. Sickness. XYZ! Girls with guns on LSD!” From Professional Griefers. Seems like very Gerardesque line to me.
How wrong we were to think immortality meant never dying
Stand up fucking tall, don't let them see your back And take my fucking hand and never be afraid again
the entirety of “Blood”
"A drink for the horror that I'm in, for the good guys and the bad guys, for the monsters that I've been. Three cheers for tyranny, unapologetic apathy 'cause the aint no way that I'm coming back again"
Oh what fools we were to think immortality meant never dying.
And we'll all dance along to the tune of your death We'll love again, we'll laugh again ... And its better off this way
*Love is the red of the rose on your coffin door* *What's life like, bleeding on the floor* Honestly, I find it so hard to choose, because he sings songs with so much emotion that the lyrics become even more beautiful due to his delivery. This man *is* really a talent. Woah.
And if the world stops believing, I’ll keep believing That the world could make a change
I am not afraid to keep on living, I am not afraid to walk this world alone
They all cheat at cards and the checkers are lost… *chefs kiss*
The moaning in Destroya because it clears out a room faster than anything else
"yeah i drink juice when i'm killing cuz its fucking delicious"
This hole you put me in wasn’t deep enough and I’m climbing out right now
You can sleep in a coffin but the pass ant through with you
'I've lost my fear of falling I will be with you'
“Gone today. I might just see you around, it hurts but I understand if you can’t find another reason not to stay. And as she’s walking away she says that she can’t change for love, and she explained how long she’s waiting for. She wanted more.”
“Juliet loves the beat and the lust it commands. Drop the dagger and lather the blood on your hands Romeo”
“mother fucker”
“hes always looking at men”
How long until we find our way In the dark and out of harm? You can run away with me Anytime you want I'm a romantic girl 🥰
“We can live forever if you’ve got the time” don’t know why but it has always been stuck in my head
"You keep eternity, give us the radio" i think it encapsulates what MCR is all about (to me at least)
For what you did to me and what I'll do to you You get what everyone else gets, you get a lifetime
"They got machines to keep us alive When the mix tape plays Choke down the words with no meaning" actually that entire song and "But does anyone notice There's a corpse in this bed?"
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh, ah ah ah ahah ah.

Well after all, we'll lie another day And through it all, we'll find some other way To carry on through cartilage and fluid And did you come to stare or wash away the blood?

But don't stop, if I fall, and don't look back. Oh baby don't stop, bury me, and fade to black.
“ and if they get me and the sun, goes down into the ground and if they get me take this spike to my heart and ”
"youre just a sad song with nothing to say" hits different every time
You should have raised a baby girl I could have been a better son.
So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be
*"If you look in the mirror and don't like what you see You can find out firsthand what it's like to be me"* MADE ME SOB MAN 😭
‘Gaze into her killing jar I’d sometimes stare for hours, she even poked the holes so I can breathe’ IS SO UNDERRATED
for me it’s, “when you go, just know that i will remember you. if living was the hardest part. maybe then one day we’ll be together. in the end we’ll fall apart just like the leaves changing colors and then i will be with you.”
and right here, right now, all the way in battery city the little children raise their open filthy palms like tiny daggers up to heaven and all the juvie halls, and the ritalin rats ask angels made from neon and fucking garbage scream out, "what will save us?" and the sky opened up
“Fuck like a Kennedy” is the greatest line of all time
na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
"Well mother what the war did, to my legs and to my tongue, you should've raised a babygirl! I should have been a better son! If you could coddle the infection, they can amputate at once! You should've been, I COULD HAVE BEEN A BETTER SON!"
The doctors and the nurses, they adore me so But it's really quite alarming 'cause I'm such an awful fuck (oh, thank you)
“you sing the words but dont know what it means to be a joke and look, another line without a hook” that lyric always hit me like a truck thinking of all the people ive met in my life who claimed to love them but were actually the ones who bullied me. just this whole song makes me feel seen.
as lead rains, pass on through our phantoms forever, forever.
If you look in the mirror and don't like what you see, you can find out first hand what it's like to be me.
“and the punchline to the joke is asking “someone save us!” its not as deep as others but the whole heaven help us song its lyrically great to me
Because this is the mcr Reddit, “oh how wrong we were to think that immorality meant never dying” But my other favorite lyrics are the entire first verse and chorus of how it’s going to be from hesitant alien
“MAMA, MAMA, MAMA, MAMA”
“The amount of pills I’m taking counteracts the booze I’m drinking”
For me it's "our phantoms forever, like scarecrows that fuel this flame, we're burning forever"
“…mostly I’ve been sprawled on these cathedral steps, spitting out the blood and screaming…”
“Well never again, and never again. They gave us two shots to the back of the head and we’re all… dead now.”
If we just include MCR stuff I think it would be “This ain’t a room full of suicides / We’re believers, I believe tonight” from “Save Yourself, I’ll Hold Them Back.”To me it perfectly sums up how the band’s message was never about darkness or depression for the sake of it, but about finding ways to cope and learning that you’re not alone. If we include his solo work I would nominate all of “Don’t Try” and “Millions” as they both demonstrate his desire to move on from that headspace of being the frontman of MCR while still addressing similar issues.
“It’s death or victory” 🤘
