Lyrics for My Way Home Is Through You as interpreted by A Red Hotel

My Way Home Is Through You Lyrics
Gonna take off all my skins
Tell them pull out all my insides
When they rifle in,
Mom and dad think you'll be saved

They never had the time,
They're gonna medicate your lives
You were always born a crime
We salute you in your grave!

Can't find my way home
But it's through you and I know
What I'd do just to get back in your arms

Can't find my way home
But it's through you and I know
What I'd do just to get back in your arms

[Well my gun, fires seven different shades of shit, so whats your favorite color, Punk?]

Do you want to hold my hand?
Could you sign this photograph?
Cause I'm your biggest fan.
Would you leave me lying here?

We're not here to pay a compliment
And sing about the government
Oxycodine genocide
Adolescent suicide
I'll give you my sincerity
Don't give a fuck about a Kennedy
Here's what I've got to say!

Can't find my way home
But it's through you and I know
What I'd do just to get back in your arms

Can't find my way home
But it's through you and I know
What I'd do just to get back in your arms

Ohhhh
Whoa, Yeah yeah oh.
[We've got to go! x7]

Can't find my way home
But it's through you and I know
What I'd do just to get back in your arms

Can't find my way home
But it's through you and I know
What I'd do just to get back in your arms

Can't find the way, can't find the way
Can't find the way-ay-ay-ay-ay
Can't find the way, can't find the way
Can't find the way-ay-ay-ay-ay

[C'mon angel, dont you cry, C'mon angels dont you cry x2]

Gonna take off all my skin,
Tear apart all of my insides,
When they rifle in,
Mom and Dad think you'll be saved,
They never had the time,
They gonna medicate your lives,
You were always born a crime,
We salute you in your grave.

So what's your favorite color, punk?)

basket_case79...hey were you seriously born in 97? tht would make you...what...10? what are you, dyslexic? or are you really a mouthy little kid who likes to fuck around with people who are older than you? they should change this site to "assholeswhothinktheyknowwhattheyretalkingabout.net" lol

"i have markers." nice, but what do markers have to do with anything? i can hear "oh my gosh.." better thn "i have markers"...

"oh snap!" heh seriously you sound like a pre-mo.

ok hey i may be an idiot, who doesnt have high self esteem but at least i know my limits. i even manage to confuse myself.

oh and Nirvana...legendary band, people. dont bash becuz they burnt out and the band died becuz of the death of kurt...at least they did it before they started to suck like green day, who became all political. =]
have a nice night.
i hope you seizure in your sleep.

youll never kill me

fricking??? fricking??? FRICKING?? and im the one who's 10 years old. ah if i really have to stoop down to yor level and explain my screen name, first of all youd have to be the dilexic one to adctually take time out of your day and figure out that, secondly basket_case odviously a green day song, and the 79 was suppose to be a 75 for 'green day 75' the alternate name for green day. but you dont remember that because you probably only heard of like american idiot, maybe 2000's warning

stupid go to plyrics.com and it say 'i have markers' ok retard lets think about it "i have markers would fit into the context. 'i have markers, 7 different colors of shit so whats your favorite color punk?"
-markers have colors, so i guess if you had 7 different shade (shades relate to different shades of color) i guess youd have to choose a marker
-then he asks whats your favorite color marker, because he clearly told you he has 7 different shades.

this could refer to drug use, odviously, oh yah you probably didnt relize that gerard's favorite type of lyrics are metophors, unless your justa dipshit and took it as it said. it doesnt have to make sence its a fucking (no fricking) metaphor.

you must be like 12 years old cos your numbers are 4-95 so you must have been born in march in the year of 1995, see how immature that sounds, i mean come on. but youll respond to it because after all you are 12

im not trying to kill you just trying to make you smart

hey basket_case79...
type often?

oh yeah a 10-yr-old who cant spell is gonna make me intelligent. about as intelligent as my little brother...who is your age, by the way. maybe you could hook up. youre both very idiotic and fucking ignorant. his favorite band is Green Day also, and he doesnt get anything out of music. it could work. youre virtually the same, but he knows when to stop fucking with me before he gets emotionally scarred.

im not fucking retarded...what the hell! is that like the only word you know? because as far as ive seen, the word "retard" has been included in almost every post youve made replying to me. thats called immature, not using the word fricking.

and FYI, 495 is the numeric way of saying "die"
D being 4
I being 9
E being 5
but you wouldnt know that, now would you? think about it...i mean how many things do 10-yr-olds understand?

i know what a metaphor is, dumbshit, since ive been through more schooling than you have.

and news flash, kiddie, "Warning" bombed back in 2000 but you wouldnt have even known because back then you were a tottler.
i know more than you think, sweetie, i own the American Idiot CD and i honestly think its sucks balls. im not saying Green Day sucks, they were just way better when they were still on the weed.
get a damned clue, you douche bag. [you know what that IS right? just making sure.]

again that doesnt make sence the markers do, because guns dont shoot colors, mcr wouldnt be have that lame of a metaphor, but if you want to degrade their lyrics go ahead. ok you guys win i guess, maybe stupidity is dominant, but ignorance is not bliss. but i along with stupidity i guess the fact that they'll let any immature low life on this site is also prodminant through these past entries.

my last comment to you chemicalnirvana495 it...why do you think your so cool, because your like a 32 year old with no life that's sitting on your computer typing on mcr threads and 'disssing' teenagers? or maybe your on house arrest so oyu haev nothing to do but sit on the computer because you got caught for harrassing little childern. Odviosouly your past your prime, your off your rocker if you seriously consider nirvana influential to the music scene. What did they have 1, 2 hits that anyone remembers with out being a home-body?
I'm not 10 years old for the last time, but way to be mature and assume stuff like that. Again your probably the biggest looser on the internet right now, so why don't you just 49555555 or in your gay computer lingo DIEEEEEEE!

my last comment to YOU:
[[which means if you comment back, you are truly stupid...]]

i AM a fucking teenager...but i guess i seem older to idiots like you.

NIRVANA WAS GREAT, FUCK YOU! YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVNT LIVED IN THE 90's. THEY WERE INFLUENTIAL.

oh right, im the one who assumes...you never said you werent 10, so guess fucking what? youre the one saying im 32 and a closet pedophile who likes to mess with teenagers.

I LOVE MCR. so dont try to say that just because i think youre a dumbass, im not a real fan. you are not the life of the band.

go throw yourself at billie joe, baby doll whore.

and yes, i am a loser for keeping this up with you for so long because it is such a waste of time to have to try to get it into your joke of a brain that your just as bad as i am.

and obviously [or as you say, "Odviosouly"] you are incapable of any new thoughts entering your thick skull.

buh-bye [pwned]

I think this song is the storu about the transition one fan went through to like my chemical romance, my reason being...
vs 1- saying how the fan is like trying to find his place and ends up on the 'darker side' but his parents dont think of him having a "darker side" and when they do find out they try to 'medicate his life' so he comes back to normal and would eventually commit suicide 'we'lee solute you in your grave'

refrain- he cant go back to his old life of innocent his "home" but either through a girlfriend who brings out some innocence of belonging of himself, or simply the music is an outlet to his choatic life

screaming- 'ive got markers' drug referance like i was saying '7 diff shades' different kinds and so on

vs 2- when a fan becomes overly obsessed and like think mcr saved their life or w.e and like wants to be mcr. and mcr says they're not trying to get obsessed fans or sing about polotics or make a huge scene to get a rep, their just signing how they feel and thats all they know what to sing

'cmon angel dont you cry- probably after like ripping on their fans for being so obsessive in verse 2 that they felt they needed to comfort them

there yah go just trying to bring the meaning of songs back to songmeanings

Ok, well im going to take a swing at the meaning of this song, and to the lyric correction-nazis, ive edited the lyrics.

Now, this song could have a metophoric meaning, but I think it can be taken literal.

To summarize, I think this song is about MCR's fanbase and society, how things are blamed on music, because its easier to point at someone else and say "he did it" then judging your own self. I think the chorus part, is taken from the fans point of view, how some are going through horrible times and they rely on the band to help things get back to normal for them.



Gonna take off all my skins
Till they burn out all my insides
When they run for him
Mom and dad think you'll be saved

They never had the time,
Their gonna medicate your lives
You where always born a crime
We salute you in your grave!

-( Here, I think t he song starts off with a judgement on mordern society, things are getting more violent everywhere you go, even parents now a days, they seem to start to brainwash kids into an early start on violence, take the soccer moms and dads
they shout "tackle him!" "kick him, cmon kill him you can do it"
I mean yes, sports are sports, but when you come down to it, you cant blame music for violence today, you blame the parents. Thats how I interpret this part, could be very very wrong, its just my opinion for now)

Can't find my way home
But it's through you and I know
What I'd do just to get back in your arms
- see the begining of the comment

[Well my gun, fires--seven different shades of shit, so whats your favorite color, Punk?]

- (I cant make up my mind on this line)

Do you want to hold my hand?
Could you sign this photograph?
Cuz I'm your biggest fan.
Would you leave me lying here?
We're not here to pay a compliment
And sing about the government
Oxycodone genocide
Adolescent suicide
I'll give you my sincerity
Don't give a fuck about a Kennedy
Here's what I got to say!

-( again, it seems self-explanatory, when taken literal, its the bands point of view, kind of a response to the chorus, which seems to be the fans point of view).

Whoa, there, people are getting wicked vicious on here. You guys should probably calm the fuck down. This is a song your arguing about online. Credibility is completely pointless arguing about online as well. And it's wicked bullshit to argue about being a 'true fan', because online, you can't tell who a person is, where their from, or even their true personality. All you get is a couple of letters and a few sentences of their opinion. And if you critique their opinions, then you are critiquing them unjustly.

With THAT said....

When I first listened to this sing, I couldn't understand all the words perfectly (as I imagine alot of people couldn't) and thought it was a potitical/social song, talking about today's society as a whole. This was mainly because instead of hearing 'Come on, Angel, don't you cry' I heard "Well, this nation's such a crock' (for those who aren't familiar with the old slang term 'crock', it's usually said in the context 'well that's a load of crock' or 'shit'). I was extremely surprised to see My Chem doing something more along the lines of a Green Day song. It was strange, and I didn't know what to think of this My Chem, not really caring for band that are very open with their political views.

But then I read the lyrics, and realised I had not lost the old My Chemical Romance, but had actually been reassured that I would never lose them. I believe that this is the most raw song tthat My Chem has written to date, stating their feelings on society and the scene today. How parents medicate their teens because their a little bit strange, and how these kids ironically end up committing suicide with the pills that were supposed to save them. My Chemical Romance was stating how although alot of other bands may sing about how they feel about the government, they will not. And I am glad they won't. It is not who My Chem is.

I don't understand how the chorus ties into the rest of the song, and I am sure of the fact that it doesn't and that is probably why this song is a b-side and didn't make it onto the album.

To me this song means what people think of them as well as what they think of themselves. They are bassically stating that they are who they portray themselves to be. Like the line

"We're not here to pay a compliment
And sing about the government
Oxycodone genocide
Adolescent suicide
I'll give you my sincerity
Don't give a fuck about a Kennedy
Here's what I got to say!"

Also this song is kind of a thank you to the fans.

They know who they are because of us. They find there way home because of us. Even with all the skin they've taken off. When he talks about the autograph thing he talking about all the fans who abandoned him. They said so much yet as there music developed they'd leave them "laying there"

The song summed up is a thank you for accepting them the way they are and that they always find themselves through us the fans.

OKAY the "well my life...seven different shades of shit, so whats your favorite color, Punk?

TO ME, it means possibly how his life was all about the drugs/as in the drugs are now thought of as shit, blahblah there are diff coloured pills, and then he had a favourite 7. then hes asking what your fav coloured one is. but whatever thats just a random guess...

I agree kinda with wiggy.. it sounds like that. And guess what little basket_case.. since you're not very good at READING you would notice that they thank people at the bottom for "correcting" the lyrics... so DUH it might not be right you little twit!! And assuming that they're not saying something about markers isn't degrading.. they like to use strange metaphors, so maybe it is one.....
I also agree with musicproclaimed and Your Hand In Mine.. they're good thoughts and they make sense.
