Stay out of the light.
All the photographs that I gave you
you could say a prayer for me too.
But just get in line and I'll grieve you
Can i meet you, alone?
Another night and ill see you.
Another night and ill be you.
Some other way to continue.
To hide my face.
Another knife in my hands,
a stain that never comes off the sheets
Clean me off
I'm so dirty babe,
the kind of dirty where the water never cleans off the clothes.
I keep a book of the names and those
only goes so far to bury them
So deep and down we go
Touched by angels so I fall out of grace
I did it all so maybe I'd live this every day
Another knife in my hands,
a stain that never comes off the sheets
Clean me off
I'm so dirty babe
It ain't the money and it sure as hell ain't just for the fame.
It's for the bodies I claim and lose
Only goes so far to bury them
So deep and down we go
Down
And down we go
And down we go
And down we go
And we all fall down
[screaming]
I tried!
I tried!
And we'll all dance alone to the tune of your death.
We'll love again, we'll laugh again
and it's better off this way.
And never again, and never again
They gave us two shots to the back of the head
and we're all dead now.
Well never again, and never again
They gave us two shots to the back of the head
and we're all dead now.
I tried, one more night, one more night
Well, I'm laughin', cryin', laughin' out loud
I tried,
Well i tried,
Well i tried,
'Cause i tried
but i lied
I tried
I tried
I tried
And we'll love again and we'll laugh again
We'll try 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
Never again, and never again
They gave us two shots to the back of the head
and we're all dead now.
All the photographs that I gave you
you could say a prayer for me too.
But just get in line and I'll grieve you
Can i meet you, alone?
Another night and ill see you.
Another night and ill be you.

Intense epic din.
Exploding distortion.
This is a genius invention in modern rock.
The whole album.
I'd like to imagine Gerard stand somewhere and slay hundreds men.
Haha.
And he's killed dramatically.
Haha.
"And we'll all dance along/to the tune of your death" I think has a double meaning - it's about the protagonist and those he has killed, AND Satan and his deal with the protagonist.
"We'll love again/we'll laugh again..." etc. are about how he's back with his girl.
Then, abruptly (the first time that is sung) it switches to "Well never again..." which is about the lovers' final death.
The repetition of the "And we'll love again/we'll laugh again/we'll cry again/and we'll dance again..." comes after their deaths, when they're both in Hell. This time, "And it's better off this way..." is about how it doesn't really matter anymore for them.
The repeat of "Well never again..." is to end it, and a bitter after note to "and it's better off this way/so much better off this way".
Just my opinion.
YES I'M A CONSPIRACY THEORIST
In this song, it's the last night before the deal would be done. He's already killed 999 men and only has one more to go, but the guilt is consuming him. While he's on his way to kill the last guy, I think he accidentally finds his wife, still alive, and realizes that he was tricked. The police somehow catch them, and they're shot down. But he's confident that they'll be reunited in another life.
That's the fictional aspect. I think it's also about how far people are willing to go to get what they want, even if it's wrong.
This is my favorite MCR song <3
