Now Come One Come All to This Tragic Affair

THE END-MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE

"You've got front row seats to the penitence ball,
When I grow up I want to be nothing at all!"

YOU MIGHT WAKE UP AND NOTICE YOU'RE SOMEONE YOU'RE NOT

Stop trying to fit in. Do what you want to do. Stop trying to impress everyone. If you wanna pull off the "Hobo Chic" look, then fucking do it. Fuck what everyone has to say about fashion and beauty. You know what I think is beautiful? Being fucking comfortable as fuck.

IF YOU LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND DON'T LIKE WHAT YOU SEE, YOU CAN FIND OUT FIRSTHAND WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE ME

I fucking hate those days when you try on like 13 different thinks 'cause you look like a god damn beached whale with its blubber oozing out all over the place. It's not like I was in a hurry or anything. Fuck.

I'D ENCOURAGE YOUR SMILES, I'LL EXPECT YOU WON'T CRY

I don't want people to be sad when I die. I want them to celebrate a life and what I did during my lifetime. I want them to share stories and stuff their faces with food. Hell, I want people to sing and dance on my grave.

                                                                                                                                                                TOO YOUNG TO DIE

I don't understand why such young people have to die. And I never understood why the most kind-hearted people had to go and not the shitty people. Until my friend explained it to me. My friend has a rare from of MDA. Each day, his hands, spine, etc., become even more crippled. They have no cure, but only ways to subdue the pain, so he's constantly hooked up to morphine. He won't make it much longer. I asked him, angry at the world, why he out of all people had to suffer and go so early when he's one of the sweetest, most gentle people I've ever met. He explained to me that there has to be bad in the world to equal out the good. The good people have to suffer because they can continue to be good people despite their conditions. Bad people would only take their anger out on the world. Never until then had anything made any sense. Although it saddens me, I feel more enlightenment toward the subject.

THE BLACK PARADE

I recently learned of the following: "The album is a "rock opera" centering on a dying character with cancer known as "The Patient". The album tells the story of his apparent death, experiences in the afterlife, and subsequent reflection on his life.The opening track on The Black Parade, this song, originally titled Father, is about the final moments of The Patient as he dies. The listeners can hear his ECG monitor beeping, counting down towards his death. In the next song, "Dead!," the ECG is flatlined. This is based upon Gerard Way's belief that death comes for a person in the form of his or her fondest memory, in this case seeing a parade as a child. Lead singer Gerard Way has cited the bands Queen and Pink Floyd as major influences on the album. Gerard Way has also stated that one of their biggest influences were The Smashing Pumpkins, often giving them credit for their thematic videos. The band wore black marching uniforms similar to those worn by The Beatles for the album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967). A third version of the normal album has a picture of the parade drawn and painted by Taiwanese-American comic artist James Jean."

   This band and this whole album is amazing. Definitely go check it out.

Time to Go Down in Flames and I'm Taking You

CLOSER TO THE EDGE: 30 SECONDS TO MARS

"No, I'm not saying I'm sorry
One day maybe we'll meet again"

I LOST MYSELF

Sometimes I look back at who I used to be and I shutter at the thought. I used to be such a shitty person. I honestly don't recognize the old me. I'm constantly thriving to find new ways to improve myself. This is such an uplifting song that encourages me to do so.

Dead Star Shine

GIVE ME A SIGN-BREAKING BENJAMIN

"Daylight dies
Blackout the sky
Does anyone care?
Is anybody there?"

I'M ALL OUT OF BREATH, MY WALLS ARE CLOSING IN

Do you ever get so upset that you begin to hyperventilate and dry heave? I fucking hate it. It's like I already look and feel gross enough already, I'd rather not add choking and blowing chunks to the list of things shitty in that moment. You literally feel like the walls are closing in like that scene from Star Wars.  I hate tight spaces. Yuck.

What a Beautiful Thing

A BOX FULL OF SHARP OBJECTS-THE USED

"We've fallen in love

It was the best idea I ever had"

IT'S OUR TIME TO SHINE

This song always reminds me of my brother when we were a bit younger. At the end of the video, there's a little dance that Bert McCracken does. My brother and I would get super into this song every time it came on and would do the dance. My brother and I have gone through a lot in our lives, but now is our time to shine. We can finally move past the crap and be the best we can be. He deserves a world of happiness.

I Hope You'll Find Your Own Way When I'm Not With You Tonight

FICTION-AVENGED SEVENFOLD

"Not that I could,

Or that I would,
Let it burn under my skin,
Let it burn"

NOW I THINK I UNDERSTAND HOW THIS WORLD CAN OVERCOME A MAN

This world is so god damn hard. I don't understand how people can make it through the day. Although I've had a shitty hard life, a lot of people have it so much worse off than I ever have. I may sound like everyone else, but life does get easier. It may seem like a huge issue at the time, but a few weeks, a few months, and especially years from now, it'll all just be a little speck in your memory. You can make it through the day.

The Fear of Falling Apart

This is Gospel- Panic! at the Disco

"Don’t try to sleep through the end of the world and bury me alive, 'cause I won’t give up without a fight."

Pieces of Broken Memories 

Can we talk about how beautiful this song is?  It literally gave me goosebumps when I listened to it. I had already decided that I was going to write about this song today, and then they released a piano version today.  MOTHER FUCKING GOOSEBUMPS FOR FOREVER.  I just love how pure Brendon's voice is, and we get to see how musical he truly is.  He can play every single part of this song on all the instruments! (Proof)

The Wolves in Sheep's Clothing Will Only Lead you so Far

This is the House That Doubt Built - A Day to Remember

"Don't get me started on what it means to be alive
You're lying to yourself and yet still you act surprised"

This is the best song ever. I am not kidding, the lyrics are my favorite. I am not a huge tattoo junkie, but I want to get lyrics from this song as a tattoo. The only reason I haven't yet is because I don't know where on my body I would get it. I also am stuck between two different lyrics. My first choice is, "In the end it's all about where you wanna go, and the roads you take to help you get there." But I also really like, "you've only got one life to lead so don't take for granted those little things, those little things are all that we have." I don't know which lyrics to get but they are both kind of like my life motto.
