My Chemical Romance - The Black Parade. Does it have some deeper meaning?

Question

I have listened to the song, watched the video, and read the lyrics. Is there something meaningful there or is it just a cheap attempt at using death to sell records?

Answer 1

a cheap attempt at using death to sell records

Answer 2

If you mean the song "Welcome To The Black Parade" I don't know.

If you mean the entire CD, it's about a guy (the patient) who gets cancer and he has many regrets and he doesn't feel as though he's lived his life to it's fullest.

If you've never heard the whole cd, go get it. It's amazing.


It's not a cheap attempt. People who've never had someone close to them die don't realize the pain. Music is a form of expression for this.

i was a my chemical romance fan years ago, when "i brought you my bullets, you brought me your love" was coming out. back then, they were raw, explosive, and heartfelt. you could hear the emotion in gerard's voice. the songs ranged from slow and sensitive (early sunsets over monroeville) to hard, fast, and fun (vampires will never hurt you). they had edge.

now, the music they're putting out is crap. it's been watered down. the screams and energy have been replaced by poppy hooks, radio-friendly-sing-along choruses, and an mtv-friendly image. they have, in every sense of the phrase, sold out.

if you like the black parade, listen to IBYMBYBMYL. seriously. you'll realize i'm right.

Answer 4

its about a boy dying at a tragically young age and hes scared of whats gonna happen when he dies and the strongest memory he has of his childhood is when his father took him to the parade so thats how death comes to him and the album rocks
