| This song, if you've watched the music video, showed clips of what I believe was re-enactments of the invasion of Normandy... Operation Overlord. When I saw it the first couple of times, I thought "Wow, this looks pretty awesome.", but after watching it a few times more, I began to think of my grandparents who were in the navy, and my girlfriend who I cherish so much, and that's when it really hit me... If they had died in something like this... I would never be here. Then I started to cry... if they had died, I wouldn't be here to live, to love her, to breathe with her, to know a world more peaceful than it was before. Now whenever I see a war veteran from World War II, I want so badly to walk up to them, and to tell them how much I appreciate everything that they've done and given up, so that we can be free. "I can't always just forget her But she could try" It sounds like someone, a ghost maybe, thinking of how he just can't forget her if she died, but if he did, then she could certainly try to put him behind her. He argues with himself about if she never came home "At the end of the world Or the last thing I see You are Never coming home" could he? should he move on? "Could I? Should I?" Her smiles, the things she never told him, how they will haunt his living memories of her. "And all the things that you never ever told me And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me" Then all of a sudden, she does die and leave him alone. I remember now At the top of my lungs in my arms she dies She dies" In the end he falls down into a deep depression. "If I fall... If I fall... Down" That's just my idea though... | |

| lost_all_chance, I like your view. And it could definitely fit with that. So maybe most of us can agree that the ghost represents the emotions that are left behind of that person lost, whether in death or life (like a break-up). I don't know if this has happened to you guys but I've had experiences where I broke up with a girl I loved so much that I coudln't be around anything that she related to. For example if she liked MCR, I couldn't listen to them because it would hurt too much. Or I couldn't go to the library if she was a librarian. I thought I was the only one messed up like that, linking emotions to places and objects, but my friend just recently broke up with his girl and he says she ruined HIP HOP for him! That and he has problems driving by where she used to live. | |

| this song screams of all his insecurity for k. It seems that he feels that he could never go on without her, but he worries that she doesn't feel the same. just a great sojg | |

| such a powerful song. there is thousands of things this song could but we'll never work out exactly what gerard wants it to mean. i write alot of songs and i find when people read them the song meaning is different to them. the song means what ever u feel it means.people who dont like songs generally dont like it coz the meaning to them isnt what they want to remember or feel so they push it away and write bad stuff about it til they feel better. i love this song, gerard you really know how to write a great song babe...keep it up gorgeous, i love u and im there for u through think and thin and that goes for the rest of mcr....luv ya babes! | |

| I can't believe no one has commented on this song. Very powerful lyrics. Very powerful song. Very powerful CD. I think this song is just about a guy that can never have again a girl he once had. I think she died? His references to her never coming home, i took that as her never coming back to him. Who knows though. Great song. | |

| amazing fucking lyrics. just one thing I noticed that I think is wrong "and all the smiles that are ever gonna hug me", I think that should read "and all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me" | |

| Me and my friend just think that its about someone dying, not necessarily a GF. But, I mean, it would make sense. Lots of songs are about chicks. -Anna- | |

| so this song is definately about loss. that much is for certain. to me it's the death of a loved one. actually when i first heard it i thought this was the song about his grandmothers death and not "helena." Since helena is about his grandmother maybe this one is also. I mean it coud also be about relationships and loss in that sense. w/e floats your boat man. | |
