My Chemical Romance: Welcome to the Black Parade Meaning
Song Released: 2006
Welcome to the Black Parade Lyrics
My father took me into the city
To see a marching band
He said "Son when you grow up
Would you be
The savior of the broken
The beaten and the damned?"
He said "Will you
Defeat them
Your demons
And all the...

It's like what a anonymous(1) said
"It's about not letting death beat you. The speaker is telling how his father died, and gave the job of protecting others from death to his son."
But more like,protecting the dead, like being respectful.
I know.. It sounds kinda stupid -
The one about the Nazis sounds like it could b true...also the one about 9-11, but I think it's about a man dying in a hospital who remembers the holocaust and 9-11 and then dies and joins th black parade
-
You All wrong... This is the real meaning of the helish song of my chemical romance..(Welcome to black band parade)
Yes its all about wars, but not in this world but in hell and heaven.. between our God, Angels, and the demons with lucifer..
how?
let me explain to all of you by casting the lyrics:
(When I was
A young boy,
My father
Took me into the city
To see a marching band.
He said,
"Son when
You grow up,
Would you be
The saviour of the broken,
The beaten and the damned?"
He said
"Will you
Defeat them,
Your demons,
And all the non believers,
The plans that they have made?
Because one day
I'll leave you,
A phantom
To lead you in the summer,
To join the black parade." ) In this lines the man that was speaking was Jesus Christ you can say that it was Him because of "Son when
You grow up,
Would you be
The saviour of the broken,
The beaten and the damned?"
He said
"Will you
Defeat them,
Your demons,
And all the non believers,
The plans that they have made?
Because one day
I'll leave you,
A phantom
To lead you in the summer,
To join the black parade" - in this line the Father in heaven was speaking.. and He was talking to His son Jesus Christ.. and the enemies was the demons.
And we are the beaten and the damned that will the savior will save...
In this next following lines was all about the mission of the savior and his adventure in saving The whole world.:
-Sometimes I get the feeling
She's watching over me.
And other times I feel like I should go.
When through it all,
The rise and fall,
The bodies in the streets.
And when you're gone we want you all to know
"We'll carry on,
We'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And in my heart I can't contain it
The anthem won't explain it." - In This lines of the first chorus is the continuing of the mission of the savior
A world that sends you reeling
From decimated dreams
Your misery and hate will kill us all
So paint it black
And take it back
Let's shout it loud and clear
Defiant to the end
We hear the call
To carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're broken and defeated
Your weary widow marches
In The Ending of the bridge the chemical romance says that our savior Jesus Christ was lost in the battle "Take a look at me
'Cause I could not care at all "
:
On and on we carry through the fears
Oh oh ohhhh)
Disappointed faces of your peers
(Oh oh ohhhh)
Take a look at me
'Cause I could not care at all
In this folowing lines was the devils or Satan was talking his lines :
Do or die
You'll never make me
because the world
Will never take my heart
Go and try
You'll never break me
We want it all
We want to play this part
- in Those lines above was all about challenging of demons to Jesus christ
And In This Lines was the surrendering of Jesus Christ:
I'm just a man,
I'm not a hero
Just a boy
Who had to sing this song
Im just a man,
I'm not a hero
I
Don't
Care
-It says Im only A Human Im not A hero(the Surrendering of Jesus Christ)- "I DONT CARE!"
In the last chorus is the victory of the demons...
We'll carry on
We'll carry on
And though your dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
You'll carry on
And though you're broken and defeated You're weary widow marches on
And that is the real Terrible meaning of the Song of MRC welcome to black parade - The Song of the Devil's Glory -
Any my chem fan would already know that this song is about how death came to greet "the patient"...
this song means so much to me.
1st its mine and my best friend's song.
and 2nd if in the end death really does come to you as your fondest memory...
death will come to me as something to do with this song...
my fondest memory was when I 1st heard this song...
it was a very amazing thing that happend...
cant wait to die to see how I go.

AND by the way IM 49 YEARS OLD hope to hear from you guys rodd9393@yahoo.com

I agree with all those who suggested that this is a military reference. I believe that "black parade" refers to all those who have fallen in war -- not THE war; not the current war-- just war in general, all wars.
-
This is so totally obviously about the Civil Rights Movement. The black parade is a parade of black people. This is about Martin Luther King Jr.'s son. That's why he is killed in the summer and is now a phantom, and his widow still carries on. The whites' misery and hate will kill us all. "I could not care at all" if I die, because I won't give up and the world can't make me. I'm not going to apologize or be ashamed to be a black person. "You're a chair for all the broken" means MLK Jr. gave validation to our injuries from the fight. We know we aren't alone and that comforts us somewhat. We don't give a @#$% about the disappointed faces of the whites. The part about "she's" watching over me is just a typo.
-
I think it's either about the Holocaust or 9/11. Actually, I think the military war idea is good, too.
-
You know that my interpretation is about a group of teens who is singing anti-christ songs which is wrong. I am very sad because there are teens who are not praising GOD but singing a praise song for satan! how sad and fool those who are doing these including Mcr!!
-
I think this password is about a gay son who dies
-
My personal opinion is that it's talking about the soldiers and the war and what the war is doing to us and to them.Also it's talking about remembering the dead soldiers and how we'll carry on their names in pride.

I think it's about nazis the black parade being the "Black Army"(Nazis) and in the video the man keeps putting his arm up like the salute for the nazis
"He said, "Son when you grow up,
would you be the savior of the broken,
the beaten and the damned?""
Hitler thought he was the savior
also on the float for the parade there is a skull witch was another symbol for the Nazi Party -
This song is about the patient, his way to the death and his greatest memory
-
"After learning of his illness, reflecting on his life, and dealing with all the issues of mortality, the Patient's own mortality is quickly coming to an end. This illness is most likely heart cancer, since many references at cancer are made throughout the album, and in Dead!, the doctors tell the Patient "they found a complication in your heart". Here the Patient is drifting between life and death, and so death is coming for him in the form of his strongest memory. The Patient's fondest memory is of his father taking him to town as a boy to see a parade ("when I was a young boy, my father took me into the city, to see a marching band"). The Patient's father asks him as a boy "Son, when you grow up, would you be the savior of the broken, the beaten, and the damned?", perhaps preparing the Patient for his future illness, and asking him if he will have what it takes to mentally overcome it and be an example for others who follow in his footsteps to be strong. The Patient's father also tells him "someday I'll leave you a phantom, to lead you in the summer, to join the Black Parade." This hints that the Patient's father most likely died before the Patient, and will help him join the Black Parade (in other words be there when he dies to help him in the afterlife). The song also shows that the Patient most likely had a very good relationship with his father, since his fondest memory in life occured when he was with his father. This may be the opposite of the relationship he has with his mother, which is further detailed in the song "Mama". However, the band has stated that "Mama" represents Mother War, a mother who lost her child(ren) in war. She also represents loss, and so may simply be another figure in the Black Parade.
The Patient passes into a realm of life and death, and sees the Black Parade. The Black Parade seems to take place in the city that he saw the marching band in his youth, only now the city is barren, and more macabre. He sees the performers of the Black Parade, only they too are more macabre than those of the parade he saw in his youth, and seem to represent emotions and other parts of his life. The Black Parade tell him of "the disappointed faces of your peers", which have no effect on the Patient, as he states he "could not care at all", showing he will no longer let anyone dictate his actions, and hasn't quite repented yet (as he does in Famous Last Words). He still doubts himself ("I'm just a man, I'm not a hero" in reference to his father's question at the beginning of the song). He is still firm in his doubt of the world ("you can try, you'll never break me"). Finally The Black Parade assures him that his "memory will carry on", and though he may be dead and defeated his "weary widow marches on." Thus trying to encourage him that he isn't as evil as he thinks, and that if he joins them what he leaves behind in life will be fine.
The song is visually represented by its music video. Some have argued that there is a flaw with the actor portraying the Patient, in that he is not bald, when most people who have cancer and go through chemo are bald. This however is not always the case, so its not necessarily a flaw." -
I think this is about the struggle of a new messiah (the patient), who remembers how his father (the old messiah) has passed his duties on to him, when he was young, because his father knew he was not going to make it by himself and would die (and thereby join the black parade). So this son is now in serious trouble as well, but this memory somehow gets him back on his feet again. So he continues to walk in this nomansland that represents his current state of mind and condition, closely followed by the death parade. The singer is acting as a herold of his "widow"-church, who is desperately trying to get him back into life, but even if he fails to do so assuring him, that they will carry on, even without him to lead them.
