My Chemical Romance's, "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
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.

My Chemical Romance's, "Headfirst For Halos"
The Lyrics:
And now the red ones make me fly, And the blue ones help me fall, And I think I'll blow my brains against the ceiling. And as the fragments of my skull begin to fall, Fall on your tongue like pixie dust just think happy thoughts
Why:
If you don't listen to the lyrics, it's actually a very happy song. But the lyrics is about how the leadsinger used drugs.

Well let's go back to the middle of the day that starts it all
I can't begin to let you know just what I'm feeling...
I can't begin to let you know just what I'm feeling...

this song is about going through depression and trying not to think about killing yourself. but if you don't know the lyrics it sounds like a happy song that enjoys life and junk like that.

I can't begin to let you know just what I'm feeling
And now the red ones make me fly
And the blue ones help me fall
And I think I'll blow my brains against the ceiling
And as the fragments of my skull begin to fall
Fall on your tongue like pixie dust just think happy thoughts
I can't begin to let you know just what I'm feeling
And now the red ones make me fly
And the blue ones help me fall
And I think I'll blow my brains against the ceiling
And as the fragments of my skull begin to fall
Fall on your tongue like pixie dust just think happy thoughts
Why:
It's probably about bipolar disorder. Also, the person takes drugs and commits suicide.
