Okay looking into the lyrics and what people are saying and references of MCR's song it makes me like it so much more
So the band started because Gerard was there when the twin towers fell. He didn't see the planes but witnessed everything else and that's what made him say fuck it, I want to live my life to the fullest. So he started the band.
In the song there is a reference to a line he said in an interview where he watched the towers fell as he walked down the road.
But as the band grew bigger everyone's opinions of them grew louder and it became hard on them to figure out where they wanted to go. During their last album in 2010 he fell back into a severely depressive state and on tour he realized he was becoming self destructive. That mixed with other issues they decided to disband. The song talks a lot about deterioration and growing weak. Near the end it says it's "And as we stumble through your last crusade
When you welcome your extinction in the morning rays
And as the swarming calls, we lay in the foundations"
The band knew in late 2010 their time was coming to an end and they began to feel at peace with it. And started preparing to disband.
But at the very end of the song it goes "Yes it comforts me much more to lay in the foundation of decay" because obviously it's easier to not get back together and let things be but the very last line is him screaming "get up, coward"
Basically signaling a new start. And the whole song is about them rebuilding from what once was and I really like that and like how indirect the lyrics are taking from small little comments made here and there about the band. Referencing certain moments they went through or things they said.
