- Cancer LyricsTurn away
If you could get me a drink of water
'Cause my lips are chapped and faded
Call my Aunt Marie
Help her gather all my things
And bury me in all my favorite colors
My sisters and my brothers, still
I will not kiss you
’Cause the hardest part of this
Is leaving you
Now turn away
’Cause I'm awful just to see
’Cause all my hair's abandoned all my body
Oh, my agony
Know that I will never marry
Baby, I'm just soggy from the chemo
But counting down the days to go
It just ain't living
And I just hope you know
That if you say
(If you say)
Goodbye today
(Goodbye today)
I'd ask you to be true
('Cause I'd ask you to be true)
'Cause the hardest part of this
Is leaving you
'Cause the hardest part of this
Is leaving you
If you could get me a drink of water
'Cause my lips are chapped and faded
Call my Aunt Marie
Help her gather all my things
And bury me in all my favorite colors
My sisters and my brothers, still
I will not kiss you
’Cause the hardest part of this
Is leaving you
Now turn away
’Cause I'm awful just to see
’Cause all my hair's abandoned all my body
Oh, my agony
Baby, I'm just soggy from the chemo
But counting down the days to go
It just ain't living
And I just hope you know
That if you say
(If you say)
Goodbye today
(Goodbye today)
I'd ask you to be true
('Cause I'd ask you to be true)
'Cause the hardest part of this
Is leaving you
'Cause the hardest part of this
Is leaving you

When we look deeper into its meaning, the track 'Cancer' MCR not only describes the emotional turmoil of dying from a terminal illness but also the emotional stress caused by having to part with people close to one. The metaphors utilized in the lyrics like 'soggy from the chemo' show the disease's impact both physically and psychologically, while the phrase 'bury me in all my favorite colors' represents getting to the point of dying comfortably and peacefully. The Cancer lyrics are largely centered around woefulness, hopelessness, rebellion, love, and contemplation. In the same breath, the song brings forth the concepts of loss and parting, pain and illness, family and connection.

No matter how many times I listen to this song I can't help but think about how awful it truly must be and start crying as I remember that my friend almost didn't make it to high school with us because she got extremely sick after chemo and nearly died.
