#so gather round piggies and kiss this goodbye

[genderforthepoor]

If you look in the mirror and don't like what you see

You can find out first hand what it's like to be me

So gather 'round, piggies, and kiss this goodbye

I'd encourage your smiles, I'll expect you won't cry

-Word Of God (Gerard Way)

[3cheersforthefabulouskilljoys]

Now, come on, come all to this tragic affair

Wipe off that makeup, what's in is despair

So throw on the black dress mix in with the lot

You might wake up and notice you're someone you're not

If you look in the mirror and don't like what you see

You can find out first hand what it's like to be me

So gather 'round, piggies, and kiss this goodbye

I'd encourage your smiles, I'll expect you won't cry

Another contusion, my funeral jag

Here's my resignation, I'll serve it in drag

You've got front row seats to the penitence ball

When I grow up, I want to be nothing at all

I said yeah, yeah

I said yeah, yeah

Come on, come on, come on, I said

Save me! (Get me the hell out of here)

Save me! (Too young to die and my dear)

You can't! (If you can hear me, just)

Save me! (Walk away, yeah)

1. The End

First one off the album, The End. Note that I'm going to be doing it in the order the tracks are on The Black Parade and that this analysis is going to be analysed purely by the lyrics and not what's actually happening in canon (So will be slightly different) I thought it would be fun to have a go at analysing the songs by lyrics and see what it actually means, anyway on with the analysis..

The Patient is inviting the audience to look at his life. The first line when he says "Now come on, come all to this tragic affair" it's him inviting people to his life.

It's enforced again in the line/lyric: "So gather round piggies and kiss those goodbye". He is once again telling people to gather for the show.

The patient starts talking about his life when he mentions that he quits. Whilst quitting he quits in drag. Hence the line "Here's my resignation, I'll serve it in drag"

Before that the patient has died because the lyric and line before is "Another contusion, my funeral jag"

The Patient reinforces it's going to be a show about his life when he says "You got front row seats to the pentenience ball" meaning you got front row seats to the sad and depressing shit that is my life, showing it's a show once more.

The Patient admits when he was younger he aspires to do nothing as referenced "When I grow up, I want to be nothing at all"

It ends with the patient dying as he screams out at the audience to save him. He feels as if though it's too young to die but at the same time it's useless as he realises that no one can save him. As referenced in the line "You can't" before it's cut off at the end when the song finishes.

So gather 'round, piggies, and kiss this goodbye

I'd encourage your smiles, I'll expect you won't cry

Another contusion, my funeral jag

Here's my resignation, I'll serve it in drag

You've got front row seats to the penitence ball

When I grow up, I want to be nothing at all

I said yeah, yeah

I said yeah, yeah

Come on, come on, come on, I said

Save me! (Get me the hell out of here)

Save me! (Too young to die and my dear)

You can't! (If you can hear me, just)

Save me! (Walk away, yeah)

Yeah!

And if your heart stops beating

I'll be here wondering

Did you get what you deserve?

The ending of your life

And if you get to heaven

I'll be here waiting, babe

Did you get what you deserve?

The end, and if your life won't wait

Then your heart can't take this

Have you heard the news that you're dead?

No one ever had much nice to say, I

Think they never liked you anyway

Oh, take me from the hospital bed

Wouldn't it be grand? It ain't exactly what you planned

And wouldn't it be great if we were dead?

Oh, dead

Tongue-tied and oh so squeamish

You never fell in love

Did you get what you deserve?

The ending of your life

And if you get to heaven

I'll be here waiting, babe

Did you get what you deserve?

The end, and if your life won't wait

Then your heart can't take this

Have you heard the news that you're dead?

No one ever had much nice to say, I

Think they never liked you anyway

Oh, take me from the hospital bed

Wouldn't it be grand to take a pistol by the hand?

And wouldn't it be great if we were dead?

And in my honest observation

During this operation

Found a complication in your heart, so long

'Cause now you've got (now you've got)

Maybe just two weeks to live

Is that the most the both of you can give?

One, two, one, two, three, four

La-la-la la-la

La-la-la-la la-la

La-la-la-la la-la-la

Well, come on

La-la-la la-la

La-la-la-la la-la

La-la-la-la la-la-la

Oh, motherfucker

If life ain't just a joke

Then why are we laughing?

If life ain't just a joke

Then why are we laughing?

If life ain't just a joke

Then why are we laughing?

If life ain't just a joke

Then why am I dead?

Dead!

Tell me, is something eluding you, sunshine? Is this not what you expected to see? If you wanna find out what's behind these cold eyes, you'll just have to claw your way through this disguise. (In The Flesh Pt. 1 - Pink Floyd, 1979)

So gather 'round, piggies, and kiss this goodbye,

I'd encourage your smiles, I'll expect you won't cry ❤️

Hey could I get a shufflemancy for my Dirk Strider timeline? Maybe just a general thing. Or my relationship with Jake I dunno man.

Sure thing! I’ll do your timeline first and then your relationship with Jake! It'll all be under the cut!

The End / My Chemical Romance

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

So gather 'round, piggies, and kiss this goodbye

I'd encourage your smiles, I'll expect you won't cry

———————————–

Much like canon Dirk, you had a lot of hatred for yourself and had low self-esteem internally. You hated looking in the mirror daily, possibly alluding to being trans or gender nonconforming in your timeline. You may have also attempted or succeeded in committing suicide in your timeline due to your depression and self-worth issues.

———————————–

This Is How I Disappear / My Chemical Romance

———————————–

Can you hear me cry out to you?

Words I thought I'd choke on, figure out

I'm really not so with you anymore

I'm just a ghost, so I can't hurt you anymore

So I can't hurt you anymore

———————————–

You and Jake most likely had a romantic relationship, but it ended up not working out due to a breakup or your death. It’s also possible that this relationship wasn’t healthy, and you hurt him. In the dream bubbles after your death, you desperately wanted to reconnect and reconcile, telling him that those mistakes wouldn’t happen again. It’s also possible he manifested you as Brain Ghost Dirk, but not enough to become “real.” Due to your incorporeal state, you tried your best to reach out to him and let him know you couldn’t hurt him.

———————————–

I know this one was more negative, but I hope it helps you!

-The End

Chris Cornell, Kurt Cobain, Gerard Way... My top songwriters. Most of their greatest songs are poetic. I love that they all have a different style in their writing as well.

Chris Cornell is a mixed bag. There are lyrics (like the one above) that's more straightforward in its theme, but crafted in such a way that it's so beautiful and thought-provoking. But then you listen to a song like Black Hole Sun and The Day I Tried to Live, and the meanings becomes more ambiguous and up to interpretation.

Most of Kurt's lyrics are entirely ambiguous, and open to interpretation. For example, Milk It can be viewed as a song about battling drug addiction, but someone else could argue that it's about battling mental illness, and then someone else could argue that it's about a toxic/abusive ex. I love it; it's brilliant.

I haven't listened to all of MCR's albums yet, but so far Gerard Way seems to be a lot more straightforward with his writing, which isn't a bad thing if you make them as entertaining as he does. Mixing dark humor with self-deprecation makes for some very memorable lyrics, as you've seen above-and you can tell they're based on his personal experiences and his feelings as well, with a bit of storytelling. I dislike whenever people write a sad song just to write one, if that makes sense..Gerard doesn't do that, as far as I know.

Idk why I wrote this. I guess to appreciate some very good artists, but also to vent a bit since I wanted to post these lyrics anyway because of how relatable they are..

Anyway, this is just my interpretation of each artist. A lot of people say that Kurt just wrote whatever and called it a day, but as you start listening to more of Nirvana's songs from different albums, you'll start to notice what songs Kurt didn't care for and what songs he actually put his heart into. But, again, that's just how I see it so... It's almost 3a.m., I need to try and force myself to sleep...
