Hand in mine, into your icy blues
And then I'd say to you we could take to the highway
With this trunk of ammunition too
I'd end my days with you in a hail of bullets
I'm trying, I'm trying
To let you know just how much you mean to me
And after all the the things we put each other through and
I would drive on to the end with you
A liquor store or two keeps the gas tank full
And I feel like there's nothing left to do
But prove myself to you and we'll keep it running
But this time, I mean it
I'll let you know just how much you mean to me
As snow falls on desert sky
Until the end of everything
I'm trying, I'm trying
To let you know how much you mean
As days fade, and nights grow
And we go cold
Until the end, until this blood
Until this, I mean this, I mean this
Until the end of...
I'm trying, I'm trying
To let you know how much you mean
As days fade, and nights grow
And we go cold
But this time, we'll show them
We'll show them all how much we mean
As snow falls on desert sky
Until the end of every...
All we are, all we are
Is bullets I mean this
As lead rains, will pass on through our phantoms
Forever, forever
Like scarecrows that fuel this flame we're burning
Forever, and ever
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
And as we're falling down, and in this pool of blood
And as we're touching hands, and as we're falling down
And in this pool of blood, and as we're falling down
I'll see your eyes, and in this pool of blood
I'll meet your eyes, I mean this forever
And then I'd say to you we could take to the highway
With this trunk of ammunition too
I'd end my days with you in a hail of bullets
I'm trying, I'm trying
To let you know just how much you mean to me
And after all the the things we put each other through and
I would drive on to the end with you
A liquor store or two keeps the gas tank full
And I feel like there's nothing left to do
But prove myself to you and we'll keep it running
But this time, I mean it
I'll let you know just how much you mean to me
As snow falls on desert sky
Until the end of everything
I'm trying, I'm trying
To let you know how much you mean
As days fade, and nights grow
And we go cold
Until the end, until this blood
Until this, I mean this, I mean this
Until the end of...
I'm trying, I'm trying
To let you know how much you mean
As days fade, and nights grow
And we go cold
But this time, we'll show them
We'll show them all how much we mean
As snow falls on desert sky
Until the end of every...
All we are, all we are
Is bullets I mean this
As lead rains, will pass on through our phantoms
Forever, forever
Like scarecrows that fuel this flame we're burning
Forever, and ever
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
And as we're falling down, and in this pool of blood
And as we're touching hands, and as we're falling down
And in this pool of blood, and as we're falling down
I'll see your eyes, and in this pool of blood
I'll meet your eyes, I mean this forever

Without any frame of reference or connection to this song, I don't think anyone could adequately interpret its meaning. You gotta live this in order to fully appreciate its depth and emotional tidal waves.
Kinda reminds me of Romeo && Juliet ...
But MCR is the effing bomb....One of the BEST THERE IS!!!
great song.
Then suddenly all these bullets fly down on them...
And then Gerard and the girl are lying in a pool of blood... and Gerard is screaming, watching her die, "And as we're falling down, and in this pool of blood And as we're touching hands, and as we're falling down And in this pool of blood, and as we're falling down I'll see your eyes, and in this pool of blood I'll meet your eyes, I mean this forever."
I think it means like, no matter what happens, they'll always be together.
this one lyric sets the tone for the whole song. Try to put yourself in this state of mind this couple is in. love or death? or both? But he somewhat has hope. but that hope might just be to flatter himself to be calm for his girl which i would imagine would be a mess.
The song also leads us to believe they have problems within their relationship which might be cause by the outside force trying to pull them apart or just from couples being couples. heres the proof "im trying to let you know how much you mean to me and after all the things we put each other through." he feels like he has to prove himself to her because he may not have another chance. they may both die soon.
In listening to Gerard's lyrics, ive come to the conclusion that you shouldnt be too metaphorical to try to understand what hes trying to say. sometimes he really is writing a song based on bonnie and clyde. Maybe he IS writting about vampires. Maybe he really IS just writing a song about a man defending his lover from a zombie horde but fails and has to shoot her in the face. Hes an interesting character. He often brings you down but leaves you just a pinch of hope to annoyingly make you question your misunderstanding of the song. The lyric, "as snow falls on desert sky" is kinda saying "its hard and chances are slim, but theres still hope" (i reside and las vegas, nv, a full blown desert landscape and i can tell you every year in december we get snowfal). slim chance but possible. I love how he makes you think twice about everything.
Dont take him too literal, but not too metaphorical either. ;)
bullets are the nasty words and things we say to each other to shoot each other down, in anger and hate.
shot down until the relationship is dead. how smart we think we are by our relationship dialogue, always having a sharp, snappy comeback, put down artistry, verbal abuse, just plain hate that eventually replaces the love and caring you show each other in the beginning. that's the trunk of ammunition. the beginning is the feeling of the relationship in the beginning. the end of the song is when the relationship dies. i love his reference to scarecrows, because anger is an emotion that stems from fear. and though the relationship dies, he will always love her.
