If you don't understand what the band has to say, then don't worry about it, and do not go around talking about crap you don't know. My Chemical Romance has said, FROM THE START OF THEIR CAREER that they want to save lives, as seen HERE:

Not only have they said this, but they have also spoken out against objectifying women while on a tour in which another band was pushed by their label to ask women to show them their breasts for a backstage past.
ALSO, with the song Teenagers, the band has always said that the song is meant to say that violence is NEVER the answer to a problem, that includes SUICIDE.

The band has inspired many people to overcome drug and alcohol addictions as well. Gerard was once addicted to both, but he overcame that and has inspired others to do the same.
FURTHERMORE, if you listen to the song "Famous Last Words" on The Black Parade, you will find that the last words spoken in the song are "I am not afraid to keep on living, I am not afraid to walk this world alone..." The band has said that this is the most important line on the album, because it shows that even though life can be hard, you have to go on and look on the bright side, because THINGS GET BETTER.
Furthermore, on their upcoming, unreleased album, their is a line that says "This ain't a room full of suicides, we can live forever if you've got the time." Which is stating that suicide, self harm, and other acts of violence ARE NOT WHAT THE BAND IS ABOUT, they are about doing what they LOVE, which is playing music, and if you can't understand it, then you should criticize it, because it's none of your business. |
Pure blasphemy
We sing songs that don't need any interpretation or doubletalk to apologize for them.
Quote:
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suffering and shame;
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain.
Refrain
So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.
O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
To bear it to dark Calvary.
Refrain
In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see,
For ’twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
To pardon and sanctify me.
Refrain
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true;
Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then He’ll call me some day to my home far away,
Where His glory forever I’ll share.
Refrain

Come to Jesus Christ and let Him fill you with peace as the demons leave your filthy soul.
In Christ!
