Original Lyrics: And though you're cynical, believe me.

Story about this misheard lyric by: Yumei Really this is just a comment instead of a story, but I have to be one of the closest in misheard lyrics to the real lyrics. At least Synagogue sounds SOMETHING like cynical. I must say, I have never heard it as dead and gone or singing God or whatever. I've always heard it as synagogue. But yes. I used synagogue as an adjective xD. As a matter of fact, I am listening to it now and STILL hear it as synagogue instead of cynical but I heard believe me not believers. |

| "Early Sunsets Over Monroeville"
The Lyrics: Up and down escalators, pennies and colder fountains
Elevators and half price sales, trapped in by all these mountains Running away and hiding with you I never thought they'd get me here Not knowing you'd change from just one bite I fought them all off just to hold you close and tight But does anyone notice? But does anyone care? And if I had the guts to put this to your head... But does anything matter if you're already dead? And should I be shocked now by the last thing you said? Before I pull this trigger, Your eyes vacant and stained... And in saying you loved me, Made things harder at best, And these words changing nothing As your body remains, And there's no room in this hell, There's no room in the next, But does anyone notice there's a corpse in this bed? Why: I'm not even entirely sure why this song creeps me out so much... It starts off for the most part seeming sane and good-natured. When it gets to this bit where it sounds to me like the girl is a vampire and he has to shoot her... Eh. It all changes. And I find that the music is tense and building, too.

Upbeat Songs With Depressing Lyrics:
"Desolation Row"
The Lyrics: They gonna bring 'em to the factory
Where the heart-attack machine Is strapped across their shoulders and then the kerosene! Is brought down from the castles By insurance men who go Check to see that no one is escaping to Desolation Row Why: The song, I'm pretty sure, is about people condemned to death by the system. But you can't hear the lyrics, really, when you listen to the song--I actually kept it on loop while my anti-My Chemical Romance friend listened.

Crime Records:
"Cancelling a Show"
sometime in November, My Chem had to cancel a show at a university because Bob [Bryar, drums] was injured. The University sued My Chem for this, even though the law clearly states that if a musician has to cancel for illness or injury it's perfectly fine. My Chem paid the university, and offered to play again in the spring there, but the college turned them down stating "they won't let it happen again."

Hidden Messages:
"Cemetery Drive"
If you strip the song (taking out headphones/earbuds slightly and tilting it until you can no longer hear the lead vocals) you can only hear the back-up vocals. It says a message that makes surprising since when put together...

"I Gave You My Bullets, You Gave Me Your Love"
On the outside of the CD, where the duplication warning normally is, it says, "Unauthorised duplication is a violation of applicable laws and will result in Gerard coming to your house and sucking your blood."

"Helena"
Play the song backwards and listen closely. The song talks about (supposedly) Gerard's grandmother, which is ironic since his Grandmother had died a few months before the album came out.
