Lyrics for Helena as interpreted by Brandnizzle2k4

Helena Lyrics
Long ago
Just like the hearse you die to get in again
We are so far from you

Burning on just like a match you strike to incinerate
The lives of everyone you know

And what's the worst you take
From every heart you break
And like the blade you stain
Well I've been holding on tonight

What's the worst that I could say
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight

Came a time
When every star fall brought you to tears again
We are the very hurt you sold

And what's the worst you take
From every heart you break
And like the blade you stain
Well I've been holding on tonight

What's the worst that I could say
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
And if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight

Can you hear me
Are you near me
Can we pretend to leave and then
We'll meet again
When both our cars collide

What's the worst that I could say
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
And if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight

We are so far from you'... that's so creepy x.X I think it's the voice... great song ^^

Lol i agree with OldskoolrockerJTS completely! Talented musicians dont get any of the credit they deserve. i can bet you'll never see a dream theater music video on tv EVER! trust me when i tell you a monkey could play helena if you give it the time lol. i dont hate the song, but my chemical romance doesnt have any talent. they play basic drum beats, basic power chord construction and they get more fans than someone with talent. i dont want to bash the band, i do like listening to their music if i come across it on the radio or something, i just won't download their music or buy an album.

*shocked look* GERARD DOES NOT LOOK LIKE A GIRL! oh and just so i can voice my opinion: OldskoolrockerJTS and hatinso just because you dont like mcr doesnt mean everyone should hatreb them, i just happened to think that they are one of the best nads going at the moment! (along with green day and evanescence) so dont comment on here if you dont like the songs or the band! ok rant over, i'm calm i'm calm....

BTW: i didn't mean it in a bad way, looking like a girl is a good thing.

Just about all the death around him, especially his grandmothers, and how depressed it makes him. Great song!

alright thats great.. you can like whatever bands you damn well want but dude did it ever cross your mind that a majority of the people in this post are commenting about the way the person looks?.. hmm .. i mean if a guy wants to wear makeup thats one thing.. (jay gordon from Orgy) but if a guy wants to wear makeup and sing/bitch like a chick too thats another...SUCKS

BTW: Black Mariah... EVANESCENCE BLOWS ....theyre a washed up never has been band, and if it wasnt for Seether, they would never be heard from again...Amy Lee is about the only thing that sucks worse than this band

Btw Black Mariah, I never said i didn't like the band, maybe you should learn to read! i just stated that the stuff MCR was playing was simple, i never said they were a bad band (You are a stupid bitch, get some glasses.)

You people should stop insulting Black Mariah!
Evanescence might not be the biggest band around but she still likes em that's ok.
and the only reason she got angry at hatinso is because she really likes mcr, she's just defending her fave band.
only insult people who deserve to be insulted!

You're right!
But I, For one Respect and appreciate Both the Legends AND the new bands around trying to be half the band those legends were.
I' m okay with you hating this band because it's commercialism, but at least have some appreciation for ambition and hard work.

I;m gonna break it down for all of you right here... Ready? OldskoolrockerJTS SUCKS! (I'm taking your advice and insulting people who deserve it.) How old are you OldskoolrockerJTS? Are you really old enough to be considered an oldschool rocker? STOP INSULTING OTHER BANDS AND GROW UP! I don't care how great the musicians are, how do you expect any of these new bands to have influenced any other bands? They're only a few years old! Sure talented musicians rock, but who cares! Why are you wasting your time talking to people who haven't even heard of those bands? You seem like one of my friends and guess what, he's an asshole. I know he's my friend and all, but he is still an ass. Go to hell. Or at least stop posting.

wow.. this is such a good song!! it's about gerard and mikey's grandmother. they were very close and she bought them their first tour van and always supported the band her name was elena but they called her helen. so they combined it . she died during the recording of three cheers for sweet revenge their second album i love the emotion in this song. i want to cry when gerard looks into the window of the funeral car... forgot what its called. im almost positive its true please correct me if im wrong
