MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE

- The Sharpest Lives Lyrics

Well, it rains and it pours when you're out on your own
If I crash on the couch can I sleep in my clothes?
'Cause I've spent the night dancing I'm drunk, I suppose
If it looks like I'm laughing I'm really just asking to leave

This alone, you're in time for the show
You're the one that I need, I'm the one that you loathe
You can watch me corrode like a beast in repose
'Cause I love all the poison away with the boys in the band

I've really been on a bender and it shows
So why don't you blow me a kiss before she goes?

Give me a shot to remember
And you can take all the pain away from me
A kiss and I will surrender
The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead

A light to burn all the empires
So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be
In love with all of these vampires
So you can leave like the sane abandoned me

There's a place in the dark where the animals go
You can take off your skin in the cannibal glow
Juliet loves the beat and the lust it commands
Drop the dagger and lather the blood on your hands, Romeo

I've really been on a bender and it shows
So why don't you blow me a kiss before she goes?

Give me a shot to remember
And you can take all the pain away from me
A kiss and I will surrender
The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead

A light to burn all the empires
So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be
In love with all of these vampires
So you can leave like the sane abandoned me

Give me a shot to remember
And you can take all the pain away from me
A kiss and I will surrender
The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead

A light to burn all the empires
So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be
In love with all of these vampires
So you can leave like the sane abandoned me

What is the meaning behind The Sharpest Lives lyrics?


When we dive into the story the lyrics are telling, the song titled "The Sharpest Lives" performed by My Chemical Romance, concentrates on the idea of self-destruction and toxic bonding. The words portray a chaotic upsurge of addictions and a desire for the escape of one's own life through ruinous means, with longing, through the consumption of poisons, surrendering to vampires, and deadly lifestyles. The figurative language of vampires associated with darkness draws a very clear picture of a person whose life is taken over by bad habits and relationships and who ultimately experiences natural withdrawal and causes himself to suffer through torment. The sharpest lives lyrics explore mostly love and non-love, heartbreak, angst, despair, and reflection at the same time. From another point of view, the song points out the importance of the struggle with addiction, suffering and yearning, love and betrayal, and darkness and despair. The lyrics are replete with drinking and intoxication references, and suggestive imagery that may not be appropriate for children below 13 years of age. The expressions 'blow me a kiss' and 'drop the dagger and lather the blood on your hands' introduce elements that could be seen as mature or violent, thus deserving a PG-13 rating.

This is a great song. Quite addicting. I'm thinking about talking to my director and see if we can use this song in our movie. It would fit nicely.
