Lyrics for Desert Song as interpreted by everydayishalloween

Desert Song Lyrics
We hold in our hearts the sword and the faith
Swelled up from the rain clouds, move like a wraith
Well after all, we'll lie another day
And through it all
We'll find some other way
To carry on through cartilage and fluid
And did you come to stare, or wash away the blood?

Well tonight, well tonight
Will it ever come?
Spend the rest of your days
Rocking out just for the dead
Well tonight
Will it ever come?
I can see you awake anytime, in my head

Did we all fall down? [x4]
From the lights to the pavement
From the van to the floor
From backstage to the doctor
From the Earth to the morgue
Morgue, morgue, morgue

Well tonight
Will it ever come?
Spend the rest of your days
Rocking out just for the dead
Well tonight
Will it ever come?
I can see you awake anytime in my head

All fall down
Well after all...

Okay I think this song is an extension of the Demolition Lovers story. He's saying that no matter what happens, they'll find some way to carry on and be together. When she dies, he goes to play music/sing for her every night (or he keeps performing and doing concerts to get his mind off her, i can't decide which it is.) I agree about the "from the lights to the pavement/from the van to the floor/from backstage to the doctor/from the earth to the morgue" part being about him being drunk all the time. And at the end, when he says "all fall down/well after all", he's saying that even though at the beginning of the song they were close and could find a way through anything, they will end up dying eventually, even after everything they went through.

That's just what I get out of it, although it's probably wrong.

Fucking genius song, it's gorgeous and it gave me chills. =]

Yea so i found out today the name of the new mcr album: The rise and fall of My chemical Romance.Im sorry I have been a HUGE mcr fan since i first started listening to them since '03 but the title of the cd is just.....half assed.

also i found out that Desert song and Disenchanted will be two of the songs on the new cd.

which is also half assed seeing that MCR only makes cd's with 11-13 tracks which means there will only be 11 10 or 9 new songs to out ears...

Frank Iero is my idol

i heard that the reason he's going to be calling it The Rise and Fall of My Chemical Romance is because he very much believes that this album will completely alienate their fans and may mark the end for the band. not that he much cares, he says.

Okay...I understand how you must feel, but kindly stop your pink-panty meltdown and think about this for more than two seconds.

So the next album won't be your favorite. You don't have to start hating the band. They aren't going to do the same thing over and over again, which is pretty obvious...would you kindly give it a chance before deciding, months before the album even comes out, that you don't like it and aren't going to like the band?

'Disenchanted' and 'Desert Song' aren't my favorites, but I don't hate either of them and I'm going to at least give their next album a listen before I go melodramatically parading around the Internet, preaching about how MCR is going to hell.

For God's sake, be a little open-minded? Please?

I agree i think this song is really hypnotic and kinda haunting... i LOVE the intro its kind and calming.

It makes me sleepy xD and cry unconrolably, im used to their songs making me cry but this one did it in a different way, and as i was listening to it and i was thinking about the whole video diary and the rough ride these guys have had and i was really touched... probably my favourite MCR song after cemetery drive its brilliant

And... I see this yet again...since this happens so often...

-points to address bar-

Song Meanings Dot Net.

Not I Hate This Band Listen To Me Bitch.

Yes, yes, yes, well over half of the posts on this website aren't even about the songs, but at least most of them occur on the page of the artist being bashed and/or praised...

Don't call me uptight/annoying, because I'm just trying to stop this MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE lyric page from becoming a succession of useless posts, all about a completely different band.

If you hate the Used, go complain on their page, kindly.

Now;; anybody want to get back to the song?

I could never turn against MCR! Never never never!!!! I just don't want them to lose their magic, that's all. And i hate to say this..
but the best album was bullets, which was written when gerard was totally miserable. Revenge is good too, but he was slightly happier. everyone knows that he's really happy now that he's sober and his band is huge and yada yada ya...what if his happiness turns the music to hell?

that's sick, i know, but it's crossed my mind.

but as previously stated, they are my favorite band (understatement) and i will stand by them, come what may.

don't act smart guitaress (whatever that means) don't you think i insulted on their page?
i was kicked out and told to go complain somewhere else and since this band was directly affected by the used's shittyness, i just wanted to express my feelings towards this piece of shit excuse for a band,
bunch of cocksucking freaks turned my chemical romance into a pop-punk band.

to My Happy Thoughts:
revenge and bullets are equal, they both have 3 or 4 shitty songs but the rest are awsome.
why doesn't he toward his happiness in another direction the way children of bodom did with bed of razors (pretty happy) and the other songs on hatebreeder, they're all symphonic metal not black metal.

Don't act smart. Lol. I don't really think I can help "acting smart" around somebody who is unable to deduce what "guitaress" means.

Guitar = a stringed musical instrument. I can only pray you know what this is.

ess = a suffix, commonly added to the end of words when desired to be used in reference to a woman.

Guitaress = a woman who plays guitar.

Well, then if you got kicked out of the Used pages, then that's probably a sign for you to: GET. A. MOTHERFUCKING. LIFE.

I'm only targeting you, B12, because there are far too many people who sit around saying "I hate this band" and never follow up on that.

I hate loads of artists more than anything in the world;; you don't see me sitting glued to my computer monitor for hours on end, blabbing like a moron about how much they suck (and then not giving any reasons to back up why I think that).

ButNeverOutgunned, I respect you and your opinions because you at least have the brains to give legitimate, intelligent reasons why, instead of "LYKE OMG THIS BAND SUCKZZZ. I HATE THEM SOOOOO MUCH. UM...YEAH...I HATE BERT HES A COCKSUCKER!!!"

1- That word doesn't exist, you just made it up.

2- why result to insults, i never did anything to insult you.

3- try not to lose your temper so easily, it's people like you who mostly get banned of sites like these.

4- I never talk like that, but that's ok keep making stuff up, you'll make an even bigger fool of yourself.

kids these days, they think they're all that when they use insulting words.

All right. And now for my (hopefully) final rebuttle.

1 - That word doesn't exist.

Wow, even I am amazed by your continual stupidity. OF COURSE I FUCKING MADE IT UP! It's a username, love. it's supposed to be something you do, or like, or believe in. Thank you for pointing out the already blatantly obvious. That's like me saying "B12 ISN'T A REAL WORD!! U R STUPID!!"

2 - Why result to insults.

I assume you meant resort. You also say you never insulted me.

"STOP ACTING SMART GUITARESS!!!!!"

I insult you because you piss me off. I was going to try and stay tactful, but I guess that's all gone out of the window.

I don't see how I'm "acting smart"; this is how I usually act (at least around people who throw around their opinions without any valid point behind them), and I'm not ashamed of it at all. It just makes me kind of sad, because I know typing this right now you probably will have to get out a dictionary to figure out what I'm saying.

You come off as weak-minded and stupid, a person unable to stop and explain the reasoning behind their words, people like that make me wonder why I get out of bed in the morning.

3 - You say not to lose my temper. This from a person who posts "it's all bert's fault and his gay ass band!!! GRRRRRRRR!
The Used SUCK!!!!!"

It's people like me who get banned from this site. But, if ever, not before brainless idiots like you.

Your utter, complete, and blatant hypocrisy makes me want to take several heavy objects and break them.

4 - You say you never talk like that. I never said you did. You say I am making a fool of myself. If I am, which I don't think so, I honestly don't care. This is the Internet, love, what other people think about me couldn't matter less.

You also say I am making stuff up. What, exactly, have I made up, besides my username?

Morons these days...B12, you might as well have "IDIOT" tattooed on your forehead.

how can you take that seriously?
how can you say you tried to stay tactful since you strted insulting ever since your first post?
how can you call my words blatant hypocrisy, did i lie about something?
you seriously need therapy, or at least anger management, why would you get so angry at someone behind your screen?
you people fascinate me.
keep it cool, if you're having a bad day don't take it out on me.
if i'm telling you this it's because you make very potential use of your words and i don't want you to get banned.
as always i end up trying to calm everyone and remind you that, it's just a website, not a fight club.

When I said tactful, I meant in that post. Not in general. Also, note the keyword in that sentence: tried.

Hypocrisy = saying something is bad, and then doing it.

For example: You saying that I need to watch my temper when your previous posts have largely consisted of nothing but anger.

You fascinate me as well, and I'm going to take your advice and try to calm down.

I have a temper, if those reading haven't figured it out already.

How could I not get angry at all the crap you've been saying?

I said I don't care what people think of me. That's different from caring about what people say about other things, and what you've been saying makes me angry; how does that matter whether it's through the Internet or not? Or has it suddenly become not human nature to want to respond to things other people say?

I'm not having a bad day. I enjoy arguments. They're like doing push-ups in your brain. Sadly, most of them occur on here, instead of on debate teams and CNN where they belong, and I can't help but participate, to hopefully straighten out all the morons.

I don't really care if I get banned, but thank you for your concern.

I have other things to say, but it'd probably just spark a barrage of even more completely useless posts than the ones you and I have been exchanging.

yeah, sorry about that, but i'm usually pretty uptight, and i like to go crazy sometimes, i didn't know it could cause such chaos.
i just don't like the used.
and technically, i did acted like i did before i told you not to:
-that's not hypocrisy it's admitting my failure to contain my anger.
-i don't want anyone else to make the same mistake.

you build your arguments on solid coherence, i also like arguments but not when i'm wrong, i don't feel up to it right now cause i know you're right.

let's just stop here before we fill this lyrics page with more useless posts.

Exactly what i meant, it's all put down in one simple organized paragraph, ButNeverOutgunned just coneys with words better than i do.
The band has been nothing but torture to modern music, and deserve nothing but to perish under a rain of fire.
they're THAT horrible.

My chemical romance meant something to me, they were "my band", i liked everything about them, especially their music, but ever since their collaboration with those morons went serious, i've been having second thoughts, they've become all but perfect, i hope they repair this grave mistake with the upcoming album, or my hope is lost.
