Moments from MCR songs that make me absolutely lose my mind: Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge edition
I had this idea a few weeks ago and took notes while listening to the album last night. Even though it was hard to pinpoint specific moments for some of the songs, rest assured that they all make me go insane. TRIGGER WARNING for death, murder, self-harm, and related topics
Helena
basically this entire song gives me chills
the switch to half-time for the chorus
“What’s the worst that I could saaaaaay?”
“Can weeeeee preteeeeeeend to leeeeeave and theeeeen”
“When both our cars collide”
Give ‘Em Hell, Kid
“Oh baby, here comes the sound!”
“This is how we like to do it in the murder scene”
“Well don’t I look pretty walking down the street in the best damn dress I own?” yes you do, Gerard
the “yeah” at the end
To the End
“He calls the mansion not a house but a tomb”
“This elevator only goes up to ten”
“He’s not around, he’s always looking at men” god this line gives me so many good gay feelings
“And it shows by the Benz”
“If you ever say never too late”
You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison
the whole beginning without the drums
“I’m like a bullet through a flock of doves”
“On your mother’s eyes, say a prayer”
“And I don’t know how we’re just two men as god had made us”
“Too much too late or just not enough of this pain in my heart for your dying wish”
the screaming/gasping in the second verse
“They make me do push ups in drag” (feat. ??? is it Bert McCracken?)
“DO YOU HAVE THE KEYS TO THE HOTEL? I’M GONNA STRING THIS MOTHERFUCKER ON FIRE!”
“Life... is... but... a... dream for the dead!”
“I won’t go down by myself, but I’ll go down with my friends”
screams + the laugh at the end
I’m Not Okay (I Promise)
there’s something about that very first chord progression, man...
“To be a joke and look, another line without a hook”
“Take a good hard look!”
“But the pages all are torn and frayed now!”
“I’m... oh... kay... I’m okAAAAAAAAY!”
“Trust me”
“I’m not oh-fucking-kay!” 
The Ghost of You
the jump between “never” and “said” in the first line; same in the second verse with “ever” and “get”
“But she could tryyyyyy”
“She dies! She dies!”
“Never coming home” x4 in the last chorus
the last “Could I? Should I?”
The Jetset Life Is Gonna Kill You
“I’m just the worst kind of guy to argue with what you might find”
“For the last night I lie, could I lie with/next to you?”
the heavy guitar rhythm in the chorus
“Hotel Bella Muerte”
“It gives the weak flight, it gives the blind sight”
oh my god the autotune in the bridge
“Aw, sugar” both times
Interlude
7/8 baby!
the last chord
Thank You For the Venom
“Sister, I’m not much A POET BUT A CRIMINAL”
“A pretty face, but you do, so carry on”
“I wouldn’t front the scene if you PAID ME! I’m just the way that the doctor MADE ME!”
“You’re running after something that you’ll never kill. If this is what you want, then fire at will.”
“Hallelujah, lock and load”
“You wanna follow something? Give me a better cause to lead!”
the “fire at will”s in the background of the last chorus
Hang ‘Em High
not to be a nerd but god this is song is just so HARDCORE
“Would I die for you? Well here’s your answer in spades!”
“Got you in my sights!” / “By the grace of god!”
“She won’t stop me put it down” so many times
the "Don’t stop” in the last chorus that’s just vocals and one guitar
It’s Not a Fashion Statement, It’s a Deathwish
“For what you did to me-” the whole beginning
“You told me this gets harder, well it did!”
“This helps me to think all through the night” the chords and melody give me chills here
“Hip hip hooray for me!”
“Would you kill me in my sleep?”
“I- will- a- venge- my- ghost- with-” the breaths
“This hole you put me in wasn’t deep enough, and I’m climbing out right now”
“You’re running out of places to hide from me”
literally the entire end gives me goosebumps but especially “I’ve lost my fear of falling”
Cemetery Drive
“In the dress your husband hates”
“Where the searchlights find you drinking by the mausoleum door, and they found you on the bathroom floor”
“Sooooo faaaaaaaaar!”
“And the collision of your kiss, that made it so hard”
“Singing songs that make you slit your wrists”
“So I won’t stop dying, won’t stop lying. If you want, I’ll keep on crying.”
the last “so far” especially
I Never Told You What I Do For a Living
“Or just get in line, and I’ll grieve you”
“Another night and I’ll be you”
“A stain that never comes off the sheets. Clean me off. I’M SO DIRTY, BABE!”
“Only go so far”
“So deep and down we go!”
“It ain’t the money, and it sure as hell ain’t just for the fame”
“And down we go... and down we go...”
“I! TRIED!” the first one
“And we’ll all dance along to the tune of your death”
“Well never again and never again. They gave us two shots to the back of the head.”
“Cause I tried, but I lied”
“I CAN’T CLEAN THE BLOOD OFF THE SHEETS IN MY BED!”
the fact that the album ends with the line “and we’re all dead now”
Keep an eye out for posts about The Black Parade and Danger Days in the coming days/weeks!
