I think this song is about someone wanting some other person to kill them for whatever reason, but that other person can't because he/she loves the other so much.

i think this song can also be interpreted a different way...
lets put the vampires as a synonym for the society."If they get me and the sun goes down into the ground
And if they get me take this spike to my heart"
he never wants to be just as ignorant and heartless like the present society.
"We're hanging out with corpses, we're driving in this hearse" most people are dead and have no feelings, its just all about money
"Someone call the doctor, someone get me to a church
Where they can pump this venom gaping hole"
he searches for a place where he cannot be influenced by this dead society, which he is everyday
"We'll shoot back holy water like cheap whiskey they're always there"
he and the people with him will fight against this loss of feelings, but they will always be there in our life

"I'll never let them, I'll never let them
I'll never let them hurt you now tonight
I'll never let them, I can't forget them
I'll never let them hurt you, I promise"

he will never let the girl he loves (or someone else) be as dead as the society...

dunno...just a thought that came up my mind. could be completely wrong :)
peace

~you laugh at me coz i'm different, i laugh at you coz you're all the same~

right on man..right the fuck on...

anyone read the "satanic bible"? anton layvey talks about "psychic vampires" in that book...go read it...

actually the book sucks, but the part bout the psychic vampires is really good, i'm not a satanist or anything :)

alright, here's my remastered intepretation of "Vampires Will Never Hurt You" ;) :
-----------------------------------------------------
vampires=synonym for the society (in reference to anton lavey's satanic bible). He describes a "pychic vampire as follows (as much as i remember...long time ago, that i read it): A psychic vampire is a person who wears a mask and pretends to be somehow, that he is not. He is only nice to you, when he wants something and takes advantage of you. He has no feelings and is as cold as a vampire and he soaks you. You can't trust them and they have to die (says a.lavey)

---------------------------------------------------

And if they get me and the sun goes down into the ground
[If they get him=he becomes one of them, the sun=his heart will disappear]
And if they get me take this spike to my heart and
he rather wants to be dead than becoming one of them]
And if they get me and the sun goes down
[s.a.]
And if they get me take this spike and
You put the spike in my heart
[s.a.]

And if the sun comes up will it tear the skin right off our bones
[if the sun=the heart comes up, it will tear the skin off our bodies=the masks we waer everyday will disappear and only our inner-selves will remain ]
And then as razor sharp white teeth rip out our necks I saw you there
[the vampires infect us with their virus=no feelings, dead...]
Someone call the doctor, someone get me to a church
[he searches for a place or someone to rescue him, church=place of god=only the feelings, the innerselves count, god sees through our masks; the church cannot be entered by the vampires]
Where they can pump this venom gaping hole
[heal him from the virus of the society]
And you must keep your soul like a secret in your throat
[you can't reveal you inner feelings, your inner-selve in our present society our else you're week or a loser]
And if they come and get me
You put the spike in my heart
[s.a.]

And if they get me and the sun goes down
And if they get me take this spike and
-Chorus-
Can you take this spike?
[s.a.]
Will it fill our hearts with thoughts of endless
Night time sky
[not sure]
Can you take this spike?
Will it wash away this jet black feeling?
[they spike=death as only possibility to get away from this OR this jet black feeling he has, coz no one understands him or coz the society's too dead, only money counts]

And now the nightclub set the stage for this they come in pairs she said
[the fake world of nightclubs, bars, etc...]
We'll shoot back holy water like cheap whiskey they're always there
[they/he will fight against this, they won't surrender]
Someone get me to the doctor, and someone call the nurse
[s.a.]
And someone buy me roses, and someone burned the church
[he searches for someone who is with him; the place to escape is gone]
We're hanging out with corpses, we're driving in this hearse
[corpses=the dead society which surrounds him every day, hearse=maybe life]
Someone save my soul tonight, please save my soul
[pretty obvious ;)]
-Chorus-

And as these days watch over time, and as these days watch over time
[hm...not sure]
And as these days watch over us tonight
I'll never let them, I'll never let them
I'll never let them hurt you now tonight
[he won't let them hurt his love/his friend]
I'll never let them, I can't forget them
I'll never let them hurt you, I promise
[s.a.]
Struck down, before our prime
Before, you got off the floor
[also not sure, i'll think about that]
Can you stake my heart? Can you stake my heart?
Can you stake me before the sun goes down?
[s.a.]

someone understands what he's whispering at the end?? something with `ghosts in the snow´. I don't know....

tell me what you think about it....

oh damn, ghosts in the snow. snow=white, ghosts=white (or invisible), means you can't see them. Means you can't see who's a vampire and who's not on the first sight. so watch out.... ;)

this song has a nice message to it i think, the one that u guys have been saying that dont b like society and dont let them bring you into society

I think that somebody was thinking about vampires and wrote a song. I dont think it needs to be analyzed all too much. It's an excellent song but I mean, usually the fans come up with some incredibly morbid, deep meaning for the song and the band will say they got the idea from eating count chocula. but very good analyses nonetheless :D

hmm i never thought to interpret this song like that. it certainly makes alot more sense and i think its right.

i guess i never thought of it any more than a song about vampires. count chocula is good stuff, do they still make that? i haven't seen it in a while...

I really like this song. Ummmm.... My Chenmical Romance is a really good band. Ylime.... I think you're right. Some songs don't need to be analyzed so much... This may be one of them.

this song was greatly influenced by geoff rickley from thursday. i just saw both bands tonight - my chemical romance KICKED ASS, and geoff was on stage watching their performance..it was awesome

this is one of my favourite mcr songs atm, earthsick's interpretation of this song just blew open everything in it, fucking awesome

I like this song...good interpretation earth, but I dunno, I never really got that outta this song, I think it's just a song about Vampires, kind of like "Demolition Lovers" is about Bonnie and Clyde. or at least I think it is...

In an Interview they said it was about being in a cedey bar REALLLY late into the moning, and how the pople there reminded them of vampires

hmm.. I went to their show a couple weeks ago. Before the song the singer was like "this song's about vampires" .. soo I think that pretty much sums it up :)

ya its about vampires and thats basically it i mean they have a huge obsession with vampires and they were in a seey bar like vacant said and then the refrence to coming in like pairs is from dusk till dawn and the feelings of brotherhood of vampires is where the ill never let them get you part is from...amazing song

who knows what this song is about but I love it!

Hey everyone can have there own meanings to songs and interput it in thier way. I mean Earth analized it great even though that might not have been the real meaning.

how about:

i dont want to interpret the song, and i like to listen to it for what it is, a awsome piece of work. jesus, this isnt english class kiddies, just enjoy the music

Well first I will say that this site is designed to "interpret." So quit bitching about ppl interpreting. However, do bitch about stupid ppl and their interpretations. With that said, the song is about vampires b/c the bands is obsessed with the idea of vampires. Period. and haha because i get to go see them with thrice and senses fail on My 1 in scranton, PA

I usually totally over-analyze but I thought this song was a straight-out vampire fantasy. but then I guess some of that vampires-society connection is valid after reading a dif. interview with Gerard. He says,

"Yeah, obviously we use vampires as a metaphor for something else, something deeper than just the supernatural. But there's just something about the bloodsucking walking dead, that can say so much to people. There are really so many people trying to get control over you on a daily basis and steal your soul in some way, take a part of you..."

well procrastinator you just ruined our fun in posting views for this song when now we know the real view of this song by the members of the band...THANK YOU

What is the whispering at the very end of this song say? I can't find it anywhere... :( Thanks if you can help!
