#when I was a young boy my father took me into the city to see a marching band

[fuck-you-upmusicbracket]

Welcome to the Black Parade (My Chemical Romance)

When I was a young boy/My father took me into the city/To see a marching band/He said, "Son, when you grow up/Would you be the savior of the broken/The beaten and the damned?"/He said, "Will you defeat them?

A war that sends you reeling from decimated dreams/Your misery and hate will kill us all/So paint it black and take it back/We'll shout it loud and clear/Defiant till the end we hear the call/To carry on!

"Respect your roots."

"It's got a vibe entirely meditating on death and life and to be determined in the face of unrelenting hopelessness. it's got this really cool marching band vibe for half of it and a speaking part that dares the whole world to try and break the singer but the singer still stands proud against the unrelenting assault, it was the anthem for emo kids in the late 00's and 10's. And just imagine being thirteen and just starting to understand how unfair and cruel the world can be and hearing Gerard Way belt out 'Do or Die you'll never make me because this world will never take my heart'"

Never Love An Anchor (The Crane Wives)

I am selfish, I am broken, I am cruel/I am all the things they might have said to you/Do you ever think of me and my two hands/And wonder why they never soothed your fevers?/And wonder why they never tied your shoes?/And wonder why they never held you gently?/And wonder why they never had the chance to lose you?

"This song. this song is from the perspective of a parent, speaking to their child. about how they failed them, how they weren't there for them, out of fear of doing it wrong. they were an anchor to their child's ship, so they pulled away, and maybe they regret it now, but it's far too late. ALSO the guitar riff is meant to mimic the gentle rocking of a boat (or a parent's arms) and that shit has NEVER left my mind"

For the LA show only, because we know they said there will be guest stars:

You’re seeing Dan and Phil on tour. Everyone is having a great time. Dan and Phil seem a little excited. “We have a surprise for you guys.” Dan says. All of a sudden FOB comes out and start singing “Uma Thurman” When Patrick gets to the chorus, someone else starts singing… “When I was a young boy my father took me into the city to see a marching band.” Lights flash everywhere, and you see Dan and Phil singing “Uma Thurman” along with FOB, while MCR is singing “Black parade”. Everyone in the crowd is going wild and crying. Then if things couldn’t get any better, Dan and Phil fall off the stage and die, holding the gay flag.

their joint headstone reads "imagine it"

All I need is for my father to take me into the city to see a marching band and I’d be set.

But somehow, I’m still waiting…

ANYWAYS, MEET THE EMO CAPYBIRD 😭

(I'll give them a proper name but I cant think of anything rn. I'm open to suggestions if anyone has a cool idea lol)

I feel like there are two different versions of me simultaneously existing. Like my mind and my body are two different people. My mind is dominant and in control most often but sometimes if my mind doesn’t have time to react my body takes over and will do or say things that my mind wouldn’t probably do. Not necessarily bad things. Just- confused things. Immature things. Like my body hasn’t “aged” since five yrs but my mind has.
