the thing is, for MCR death was always an external force. like, Helena, It's Not A Fashion Statement, even Famous Last Words, etc it's all like, death is this future, potential thing they're fighting back against. (side note: this is very much not true in tone for Gerard's solo album, which is... kind of heavy considering the timeframe it was produced/released and toured for in) but with FOB death has always been this thing right there, in the midst of them. it's a present haunting. I think the difference really comes down to: MCR is fighting death. FOB is breaking up with it.

#I feel like the contrast between flw and hum hallelujah — both of which are highly personal songs to their writers and bands #about very specific events and struggles — makes this really clear #they're both kind of thesis statement songs for the bands but they come at it from such a different perspective #because gerard was always writing about death and loss as something to be dealt with #but pete was writing about death as something to let go of #does that make sense??#Lu rambles #music #fob #mcr #fall out boy #my chemical romance #love em both btw this is just an interesting compare and contrast to me #meanwhile evanescence: DEATH CAN'T STOP ME.
