  General Comment:And I've lost all doubt
  In a chemical romance
  
  To all of you suggesting the irony of the chemical romance and Bert's appearance the same as Gerard Will, I must say that I'm disapointed -.-
  What I get from those lyrics is that he's talking about the relationship he has with a dug not exactly sure which one but a drug.
  And I agree that it is ironic but it's stupid to post that on here where people want to know the lyric meanings NOT the irony of the video and lyrics -.-
  
  I aslo agree that when he says "Don't make it look so pretty burning" he means that he's tired of people making things in life seem good when they're actually not.
  
  Thank you, Ficus16
  ps. this song is amazing one of my favorites by them (:

  General Comment:Isnt there a speech or something in front of it? that goes
  
  "Life's greatest questions have always been: Who am I? Where did I come from? Why am I here? Where am I going? You are about to see and hear one of the most significant messages given to us from God."
  
  Dont you think that could mean a little something about the song?

  General Comment:"Chemical Romance" doesn't have anything to do with MCR. it means drug addiction.

  General Comment:Well this is just my opinion but I suppose the song is about glorifying things that are very very wrong.

  General Comment:No offense to screaming fans, but the chorus kinda gets on my nerves. But the ends of the first two verses are simply amazing, as in, the notes he ends on. For example, when Bert sings "I'm not in love, you know it's not love," that last word is just so full of emotion. Did anyone else catch that, or have I been sniffing too many Sharpies?

  General Comment:the best part is when he screams "pretty burning" just before the second chorus, its like the best scream I've ever heard.

  General Comment:Every song on the "in love and death" album is about Kate (Bert's ex-girlfriend who died in an overdose when she was 8 month pregnant with their baby girl Paige) and of course it's including this one. Bert loved MCR at the time the used made this record and they were not gay at all (as someone though, you stupid shitbag). But then Someone or some of MCR fucked up somehow, the the used guys started to hate them. it's funny how bert uses to laugh instead of singing "chemical romance" live now-a-days. I like his attitude.
