ok but them playing desert song after being reunited as a band genuinley means so much to me like “through it all we’ll find some other way to carry on” in desert song as opposed to, “and we’ll carry on” in the black parade (THE breakup song) but they DID find another way to carry on THEY DID. they are back together as a band possibly the healthiest and happiest we’ve ever seen them.
remember before the reunion happened and we were starved of gee content and this random ass photo got posted and we were all acting like the government had been taken down and now we were in a rabid desert land every man for himself. if only they could see us now with the amount of gerard content we get 💔💔
this like symbolizes something but i don’t know what yet. like his makeup is distinctively like the black parade is dead and not just the black parade. except that now, the black parade ISNT dead. the black parade is very much alive. like in the black parade is dead he already gained his uniform to join the black parade and he earns it right after the song the end. but in tonight’s show he still resembles someone who could still be alive because they aren’t about to join the black parade. asleep or dead ⁉️
bawling because listening to summertime and hearing “terrified of what i’d be as a kid from what i’ve seen” in terms of feeling trapped and isolated in your own trauma and then hearing gerard sing “you can run away with me anytime you want” is exactly what it feels like to listen to mcr
