My Chemical Romance: Helena Meaning
Song Released: 2005
Helena Lyrics
Just like the hearse you die 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 can take
From every heart you break
And like the...

This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

Of course everybody knows how this song was written after Elena Lee Rush, the grandmother of Mikey and Gerard Way. She was the inspiration of the two. She got Gerard interested in singing (taught him how to sing), even made his costume for him when he played Peter Pan in the school musical in 4th grade. She was Elena, her friends called her Helena, so to Gerard she was always Helena.
but this song can also be related to the concept of the album about a beautiful young girl who was killed in a car crash. -
Ok people.
Aren't all of you being a little immature fighting over the meaning of the song? Just state your opinion and stop. No one wants to hear about how you're smart and everyone else is an idiot.
Music can be interpreted all kinds of ways. That's the beauty of it. Music says something to the listener, but it's up to the listener to decide what that something is. -
Aaaaand this is what happens when you let fans interpret their favorite bands lyrics. You get tons of variations of meanings. And then you confuse all the poor souls who know nothing about them, though some of you have proved that already...

It was indeed written about Gerard's Girlfriend.
But,he was dumped for a popular guy that Helena went out with in high school.Then,the guy beat Helena so Gerard stepped in and was put into a coma.He clearly survived but just barely.Any way,Helena thought he had died so she took her own life.
I know this because Helena was my aunt's best friend. -
It's a great song but it's about the death of Elena Mikey and Gerard's grandmother....this song was in memory of her.
-
It's about Mikey's and Gerard's grandma dying.Her name was Elena but everyone called her Helena .She had great faith in the band and gave them money for their first tour bus.

This song is about Gerard's grandmother Helen, Gerard and Mikey would call her Helena. She taught them both how to paint, play guitar, sing and dance. They both loved her very much. Helen had a car crash and was quickly rushed to the hospital. She had a major operation to save her life but this did not work she died under the knife. " blade you Stain"
-
This song is about the passing of Gerard's grandmother who he was extremely close with. It is a dedication to her.

Isn't this whole Album about a story about the two characters on the cover? The song Helena is somewhat relative to his grandmother's death because that's where he got the name for the girl character of the story. This song is how the girl in the story wants to kill herself and wants her boyfriend or whatever to do it to. She does kill herself but he doesn't want to because "things are better if I stay. So long and goodnight" and so on and so forth.
Later in the CD/Story he does kill himself and makes a deal with the devil saying he has to bring him 1000 should and they can be together (listen to "I never told you what I do for a living") -
GOD THIS SONG IS FOR GERARD AND MIKEY'S GRANDMOTHER!!
I've heard them saying it many times!
there is no girlfriend or anyone else that committed suicide!
if you go and search interviews on youtube you can see it for yourselves..... -
This IS STUPID
have none of you watched the dvd 'life on the murder scene'
it is about Gerard and Mikey's grandma dying
if you think it is about his girlfriend dying you are wrong
Gerard states that the album is about two little boys that lose their grandma and the path and journey they go on
end of story.. -
Who cares? Who is it about? Grandma! Why do I think so? HHer name is written on it! What part of Helena don't you understand?
-
ALRIGHT PEOPLE!
GET IT THROUGH YOUR HEADS!
Helena Is Written About Gerard And Mikeys Grandmother
Elena Lee Rush
They Wanted To Celebrate Her Life In Some Way So Gerard Wrote Helena
So Don't Be Making Shit Up About How It's About A Girlfriend Or Something Because It's Not
Now Please Don't Lie... -
Well this album is a semi concept album. The band says it was originally about two lovers cue the two blood splattered people on cover who get killed in a gunfight the guy gets sent to hell and the devil tells him that the girl survived the fight. So he tells him if you bring me the souls of 1000 bad men ill let you go back to her and the devil hands him a gun and the guy takes it
just what I heard in an interview guys
