MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE LYRICS
"To The End"
nickelback@hotmail.com
Am
He calls the mansion not a house but a tomb.
Am
He's always choking from the stench and the fume.
Dm
The wedding party all collapsed in the room.
E
So send my resignation to the bride and the groom.
Let's go down!
Am
This elevator only goes up to ten.
Am
He's not around.
He's always looking at men
Dm
Down by the pool.
He doesn't have many friends.
As they are
E
Face down and bloated snap a shot with the lens.
Dm
If you marry me,
Am
Would you bury me?
Am E
Would you carry me to the end?

When I heard the lyrics to this song I immediately thought of the short story A Rose For Emily by William Faulkner. If my memory serves me correctly, Emily falls in love with a man named Homer...however he's always looking at men, so it is assumed that he's homosexual. Anyway she ends up killing him (he won't marry her when she proposes, as I remember it) with cyanide I think, and keeps his dead body in her room, where she sleeps with it. So unless it's a coincidence I think that is what the song is about.

The first verse is easy to figure out. It's a crime scene at a wedding in a mansion (or maybe hotel). In movies and on T.V. and stuff they show cops usually covering there nose and mouth due to the smell. Then the cop takes an elevator down to the pool area (these two details make me believe it could be a hotel and not a literal mansion), where more people have been killed and are floating in the pool and they are taking pictures of the scene. I'm not too sure about the second verse.

WTF!!! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!!!!! This Music is good !! and MCR are not sellouts!!!! ok, I'll admit that 3 cheers was my favorite album... but this is good too.... and no... it isn't emo/screamo or anything like that, it's rock, I even read a magazine that called it metal!!... if you don't like them, you don't have to listen to them!!!

this sounds just like bowie's 'five years' opening song from the rise and fall of ziggy stardust and the spiders from mars. this is probably why the rumour about the abulm being called 'the rise and fall of my chemical romance' came about.

first of all, this is maybe the best song on three cheers... i like the chorus So much.... i'm not shure with the meaning, but i'd say it's definitly about marrying someone / marriage. i think it's told from the point, when a marriage slowly starts to break. the man doesn't like the life in the mansion no more ("he calles the mansion not a house but a tomb"), he thinks he's in hell or something like that... and i think both of them, the woman and the man, start to betray each other. the man maybe even with other men ("He's not around. He's always looking at men."). well i don't know exactely but i was thinking about something like this... and what i was thinking about, too is: "this elevator only goes up to ten" - maybe ten years of marriage? well, just some thoughts..

i think this song is about a rich dude who marries woman and kills them. "he calls the mansion not a house but a tomb" because there are so many dead bodies scattered about inside. "hes always choking from the stench and the fume" because of all those bodies. "down by the pool he doesnt have many friends cuz theyre all face down and bloated" (more people hes killed). the lines "say goodbye to the vows you take, to the life you make" along with "share the vows at the wake" are refering to all of the woman and how theres no point in taking those vows. they might as well take them at their funerals. the second verse is about one of the many woman in particular. she is just marrying him for his money and has no idea whats comign to her. -thats just my interpretation although ive heard some other pretty good ones

'she takes a picture of the body she lends', i took that to mean that she takes a picture of the body she kills and 'lends' to the afterlife/heaven/hell/???. -pixiepunk

I just finished Lullaby, also by Palahniuk, and lead female is so thirsty for power and alos love from someone who can't accept her and she dies while eating diamonds: "If you ever say never too late. I'll forget all the diamonds you ate." Its gotta be an ode to chuck

pitchfork_red i also thought it was insipred by invisivble monsters. rjthebomb might be correct too, but it's a little bit different that a rose for emily. i'm saying it was inspired by both, if not more, sources.

I just wanted to add that in the beggining right after he says "So send my resignation to the bride and the groom." When he says "let's go down" it really sounds like they're going down an elevator. I thought that was the coolest part of the song the way they used their instruments, but all of their songs are really kickass.

well im not too sure about this song. it could be an arranged marriage. his heart not in it coz he loves other men and the only way she is happy is by spending money from prostitution perhaps(the body she lends) and when she finds him with another men she kills his friends and at the wedding he finds out and there's a big fight one of them ends up in a coma and the other on medication. and before the wedding he was always thinking if she married him would she kill him or would she carry on with this relationship till the end.

My chemical romance used to be a good band.Now they suck.People need to get lives and find actual good bands to listen to that aren't sell outs.Or atleast be a true fan and like the band when they aren't horrible.Likeing them now.and only know 1 or 2 songs.(the ones they play on the radio) just means your a poser.Or your just plain stupid.This music isn't good.And no it's not emo/screamo ot whatever else you'll call it.It's music that used to be good.

I think this song is about a marriage coming to an end and the relationship breaking up. It's also one of the best songs on the album. :D

well i think this song is about a funeral too, hence the title the end. I love the "i encourage your smiles.. I expect you wont cry" bit. It also seems that the patient doesnt want people to worry about his death and to move on with their lives. And one more thing to those people leaving comments on here saying that MCR are shit, well if you dnt like them then why the hell are you on this site to beging with. Deep down you must or you wouldnt have come here to start with. Yer the posers are annoying but get over it. Its the true fans that count! i went to their concert and had to stand next to these 2 little 13 year old girls who were worrying about taking photos and filming them on their phone the whole time. They were only there so they can say to their friends "like omg like i went and seem My chemical romance like yeah" their def werent real fans just teeny boppers, but no way did i let them spoil my time cos i was there to watch MCR not to worry about wat other poeple think.
