Well, as you guys might know, I'm pretty much of a heavy-metal fan. Although this isn't really "heavy-metal", it still satisfies me. The theme of the song is about the main singer's (Gerard Way) late grandmother- Helena. And yup, you guessed it, the song is kinda emo. O_O
Some comments about this song: Although it's rated as alternative-rock, it sounds like an emo rock. The lyrics (see below) are pretty much enough to say that it's emo rock.
Click HERE to view the music video of this awesome song (NOTE: It's much better to watch in high quality). Yeah, it's HIGHLY not recommended to watch it if you hate emo songs. This video shows the funeral of a girl (possibly Helena) with the emotional Gerard singing (or is it mourning? O_O). Towards the end, Helena had rose from her coffin and danced down the nave representing crossing over into the afterlife. After she fell back into the casket, all the band members carried the casket (under the rain, though) to the hearse, followed by some dancing men and women with umbrellas. (Credits to Wikipedia)
Below are the lyrics for this song: (Credits to sing365.com)
Long ago
Just like the hearse you died to get in again
We are so far from you
Burning on just like a match you strike to incinerate
The lives of everyone you know
And what's the worst you take (worst you take)
from every heart you break (heart you break)
And like the blade you stain (blade you stain)
Well I've been holding on tonight
What's the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
Came a time
When every star fall brought you to tears again
We are the very hurt you sold
And what's the worst you take (worst you take)
from every heart you break (heart you break)
And like the blade you stain (blade you stain)
Well I've been holding on tonight
What's the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
And if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
Can you hear me?
Are you near me?
Can we pretend to leave and then
We'll meet again
When both our cars collide?
What's the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long not goodnight
Well if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
