My Chemical Romance - Disenchanted Lyrics Meaning

Well I was there on the day they sold the cause for the queen. And when the lights all went out, we watched our lives on the screen. I hate the ending myself, but it started with an all right scene.

(At this point, one can assume that Gerard might choose to explain how people, at one time or another, take the time to reflect back on their lives. There are points *the beginning scene that gerard talks of* that we enjoyed and many times of regret (endings).

It was the roar of the crowd that gave me heartache to sing. It was a lie when they smiled and said you won't feel a thing. And as we ran from the cops, we laughed so hard that it would sting.

(People are often telling others that life is a happy thing, something that can always be viewed with an optomistic attitude. Well, for anybody who's actually been living life, I'm sure that you're well aware that it's a huge lie. There are points in your life where you get hurt or fall down. Sometimes you may even get to the point where you attempt to fool yourself/others with a facade of laughter *Running from the cops and laughing hard*.)

I spent my highschool career spit on and shoved to agree, so I could watch all my heroes sell a car on TV. Bring out the old guillotine, we'll show them all what we all mean.

(Gerard could be referring to his own past at this point. Times, where he was pushed around and made all outcasted while he watched others live successfully and happily.

The Guillotine was a device ment for quick killings during the french revouloution. If any of the french did not show enough support for their revoloution/ government, they were often sent to the guillotine and beheaded in front of everyone. And it is my belief that he is showing many others in life had been pushed and forced to do things they were against, or they would surely suffer for it in one way or another.)

CHORUS

If I'm so wrong, How can you listen all night long? Now will it matter after I'm gone? Because you never learn a goddamned thing.

You're just a sad song, with nothing to say, about a life long wait for a hospital stay. And if you think that I'm wrong, this never meant nothing to ya...

(The main point of this song is located right here! If he's so wrong about how your's and everybody's life has been, then why haven't you stopped listening?

Even when he stops "preeching", will you admit to learning that he's right?

If you continue to just mope around until death, there will be nothing to remember as life "flashes" before your eyes.* a sad song with nothing to say about a life long wait... Hospital bed*

*and if you think that I'm wrong, this never ment nothing to ya* This is his mssg to the listeners that if you don't see what he's trying to say, that what their songs are all about were just words that passed trhough your ears, never making you think of a meaning behind them*)

So go, run away. Just go, run away. But where did you run to, and where did you hid to find another way? Price you pay.

(So, go on continue to keep on running from these problems. But where will you go, and what will you do to find a life worth memorable moments. It's the price you'll pay for not getting up and facing these dark moments in your life)

**** I'm sorry if I've insulted any of you durning this opinion of what the lyrics are saying. Just for the record, it's just my opinion, and I'm not trying to attack any of your belifs... Thankyou for your time...*****
