This night, walk the dead
In a solitary style
And crash the cemetery gates.
In the dress your husband hates.
Way down, mark the grave
Where the search lights find us
Drinking by the mausoleum door
And they found you on the bathroom floor.
I miss you, I miss you so far.
And the collision of your kiss that made it so hard.
Back home, off the run.
Singing songs that make you slit your wrists.
It isn't that much fun,
Staring down a loaded gun.
So I won't stop dying, won't stop lying.
If you want I'll keep on crying.
Did you get what you deserve?
Is this what you always want me for?
I miss you, I miss you so far.
And the collision of your kiss that made it so hard.
Way down, way down
Way down, way down
Way down, way down
Way down, way down.
I miss you, I miss you so far.
And the collision of your kiss that made it so hard.
When will I miss you, when will I miss you so far.
And the collision of your kiss that made it so hard.
Made it so hard
Way down, way down
Way down, way down
Way down, way down
Way down, way down
Way down.
In a solitary style
And crash the cemetery gates.
In the dress your husband hates.
Way down, mark the grave
Where the search lights find us
Drinking by the mausoleum door
And they found you on the bathroom floor.
I miss you, I miss you so far.
And the collision of your kiss that made it so hard.
Back home, off the run.
Singing songs that make you slit your wrists.
It isn't that much fun,
Staring down a loaded gun.
So I won't stop dying, won't stop lying.
If you want I'll keep on crying.
Did you get what you deserve?
Is this what you always want me for?
I miss you, I miss you so far.
And the collision of your kiss that made it so hard.
Way down, way down
Way down, way down
Way down, way down
Way down, way down.
I miss you, I miss you so far.
And the collision of your kiss that made it so hard.
When will I miss you, when will I miss you so far.
And the collision of your kiss that made it so hard.
Made it so hard
Way down, way down
Way down, way down
Way down, way down
Way down, way down
Way down.

BY THE WAY, PEOPLE CALLING OTHER PEOPLE CLOSE MINDED, BUT THEN STEREOTYPING THEM, YOU'RE JUST MAKING YOUSELVES LOOK LIKE HYPOCRITICAL ASSHOLES.
Now please, someone interpret the damn song.
So-I think this song is about Adultery. Hint-in the dress your husband hates, they found us drinking by the mausoleam door, I miss you, I miss you so far, and the collision of your kiss that made it so hard.-The girl had to leave him, that's why it was so hard.
The girl becomes suicidal. -Back home, off the run. Singing songs that make you slit your wrist, now isn't that much fun? Staring down a loaded gun....Saying she wants to kill herself.
"I won't stop lying, won't stop dying, but if you want I'll keep on crying" Says the girl, meaning-she doesn't want to stop seeing him, but it's going to hurt her so much because she's cheating on her husband.
Finally the girl kills herself, and goes to hell "and they found you on the bathroom floor."
She goes to Hell. "Way down".
It all plays backward. Telling the story of the girl after the first verse, then coming back to dying at the end when he says "way down."
Anyone else have something different?? :).
SwimminginSunDrop and HereticBassist, I thought you guys had some really interesting comments. Not really being someone who listens to full albums in order, I hadn't realized this was supposed to be a part of that whole plotline. I guess I can see this as being part of the start of that. "Way down" as we keep talking about, could also refer to her going to hell, essentially. As I herd from another thread, he's supposed to be trying to bring her back or something like that. Well, this is where she goes down.
Yet, I completely agree with HereticBassist in that this song sounds like a half-rant on having to fit his stereotype. This song made me think a lot about why I listen to My Chemical Romance. The depression and the death-obsessed songs actually make me feel better. As someone who has had clinical depression all her life, and possibly Bipolar depression, I feel like I can't ignore that side of me. Music is a release of feelings for that. Yet, if the only thing you do is focus on death, it's depressing instead of releasing. So, it seems he's asking if he's only there to be our release of such feelings.
To swing back to the other theory, I can also see that him being depressed for her sake. Suicide is usually a call for help, asking people to pay attention. So by being depressed and mourning her, he is honoring her last wishes. He really does miss her, so he wants to do that, but yet feels tied down, because he is stuck in this situation. He can't move on to happier thoughts without betraying her.
A final conclusion. I am a strong believer of songs taking on more meaning than they were originally designed for, so I think I'll go with "all of the above" on this.
