Lyrics for Drowning Lessons as interpreted by a scar in the sky

Drowning Lessons Lyrics
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
A kiss goodbye, your twisted shell
As rice grains and roses fall at your feet
Lets say goodbye, the hundreth time
And then tomorrow we'll do it again

I dragged her down I put her out
And back there I left her where no one could see
And lifeless cold into this well
I stared as this moment was held for me
A kiss goodbye, your twisted shell
As rice grains and roses fall at your feet
Lets say goodbye, the hundreth time
And then tomorrow we'll do it again

I never thought it'd be this way
Just me and you, we're here alone
And if you stay, all I'm asking for is
A thousand bodies piled up
I never thought would be enough
To show you just what I've been thinking

And I'll keep on making more
Just to prove that I adore
Every inch of sanity
All I'm asking for is, all I'm asking for is

These hands stained red

From the times that I've killed you and then
We can wash down this engagement ring
With poison and kerosene
We'll laugh as we die
And we'll celebrate the end of things
With cheap champagne

Without, without a sound
And I wish you away

"Without a sound I took her down

i think its about someone who's lover lied to them, and so he kills her. but, it seems to take on a totally different tone here:
"And I'll keep on making more
Just to prove that I adore
Every inch of sanity
All I'm asking for is, all I'm asking for is..."
i have no idea what that means.
"From the times that I've killed you and then
We can wash down this engagement ring
With poison and kerosene
We'll laugh as we die
And we'll celebrate the end of things
With cheap champagne"
now this part sounds like joint suicide.
its kinda confusing. one of my fave MCR songs, next to "bury me in black", "honey this mirror...", and "our lady of sorrows". its even my screen name!

So, my friend gave me this CD to borrow. Seeing as the posers thought to much of the Black Parade, I thought the same for this album, at first. Man was I EVER wrong. I love OLD My Chemical Romance. And this is one of my favorites off of it.

Anyways, I feel this song is about a guy {Gerard} who breaks up with a girl because it was to stressful to be in this relationship. He still loves her very much and wishes they could still be together. But she is still very disapointed in him. He tells her I love you by "falling red roses at your feet." But he has to say goodbye anyways what seems like "the hundredth time."

Then "I never thought it'd be this way..." kicks in. It's saying time has gone by and they can finally be together again because "just me and you, we're here alone. When he sings "a thousand bodies piled up, I never thought would be enough, to show you what I've been thinking," he tells her how he's really been missing her. And he'll keep telling her by "making more, just to prove that I adore."

And "From the times I've killed you" starts. He's sorry he had done away with her. Then, he says "we can wash down this engagement ring." Saying, let's do without the difficulties and let's just do what we want. And they "celebrat with cheap champagne."

Finally, "without a sound, I wish you away. He's wising away the difficulties.


This is not a great interpretation because I'm tired and some of these sentences might seem a bit scarmbled. Anyways, I can really relate to this song. It reminds me of a relationship I had had and he decided to break up because we never saw each other. We still don't. I just hope my situation ends like this song ded.
