This may not be right. I think 'Blood' is about the media.
'I can't control myself because I don't know how, and they love me for it, honestly' - face it, famous people are always screwing up in front of the press. and the press love it.
'I gave you blood, blood... I gave you all that you could drink and it will never be enough' - no matter what happens, how much you give, the media are always thirsty for more.
I could give more examples but I've forgotten them.
(if you think this is rubbish, just bear in mind I am 12 and I am not sure about it myself)

This song is about them giving their fans everything, and fans always want more. It's a funny song. Anyway, I feel it derives from the saying "I gave you blood, sweat and tears. What more do you want?"

Wait until the songs sweat and tears come out!
^.^ :-D

It was just a little joke. Couldn't you tell by listening? MCR is saying they haven't forgotten their roots, even though they've changed. But I think it's amazing that Blood has more reviews than some of MCR's more powerful songs XD

I believe this song is about Gerard Way telling his fans that he's giving them all that they can listen to, and it will never be enough .

"I give them all that they can drink,but it will never be enough."

Someone told me this song is actually about record companies and how no matter how much you give them, it;s never enough and you keep giving anyways. The blood is just a metaphor.

I think Blood is about the lead singer having to go to the hospital constantly "The doctors and the nurses they adore me so" and giving blood to his father who is dying of cancer. "So give them blood, blood Gallons of the stuff" But no matter how much blood he gave his father, it wasn't enough. "Give them all that they can drink and it will never be enough" And his father ended up dying of cancer.

I heard blood is a medaphore as well, and it's about the record companies and that they always want more and more. It was in some interview with My Chem, they went though all of their songs and said what they were about.

The song blood still has to do with the concept of the black parade. It's about how the patient sees all the doctors at the hospital as vampires because all they do is take blood tests and samples.

I reckon I kinda know what it's about... but I'm really bad at explaining stuff so all my thoughts are locked away in my head. and the silence at the start is because its a hidden track and comes on after a while because its hidden.

It's about killing for people and the killing never stops I think it goes back to the song "mama" cause that song is about the war... and yea that's my interp so don't get up on my grill

This can be in "the patient's" perspective as he's delerious from the cancer. Because of him being sick, he needs to have blood taken constantly, and in his delirium, it's as though everyone wants the blood for their own sake, maybe to drink, because they just keep taking it. No matter how much they get they keep taking more. He's awful about it, but they love him anyway for giving blood. They try and get him to cooperate, with gifts and putting up with him, but...

I think its referring back to vampires will never hurt you
its about how people will benefit from you and will always want more

Blood could be an interpretation or metaphor of like love and hard work, a character being in a war, he gave his blood for the war and never got anything back. a good amount of their songs are about war. well they encourage your complete corporation could mean the war expects you to do as you are called for and when you are called for. Send you roses when they think you need to smile. could mean when you're going to give up they help you. I can't control myself because I don't know how and they love me for it honestly I'll be here for a while...could mean he doesn't want to be here but he knows they need him. and he knows he will be here in the army for awhile. So give them blood blood gallons of the stuff give them all that they can drink and it will never be enough so give them blood blood bloooooooood grab a glass because there is going to be a flood. could mean he always gives and he never gets credit, he shows off to them and they still don't care because its his duty. etx. etc...


this is all a guess, but it seems right to me! or not idk!!

This song is rather mean to the fans.

It's saying that we've been latching onto the band and they just wanted a break and we keep begging them for more. 'I gave you more than you could drink and it is never enough' is a clear line justifying that.

anonymous January 20th, 2008 09:09PM  
I think this song is about a mental patient.
"Well they encourage all complete cooperation,
Bring you roses when they think you need to smile." Somehow this song reminds me of a patient in a psyche ward who keeps having visions of his doctors being vampires. That' just my POV, though.

anonymous January 21st, 2008 07:03PM  
I'm quite amazed that no one has thought about the fact that this song might refer to Gerard's time in rehab.

"Blood, Blood, gallons of the stuff, give them all that they can drink and it will never be enough..." Constant blood samples for tests and such.

"They encourage your complete cooperation, send you roses when they think you need to smile." The doctors and nurses don't want to look like bad guys, they want you to help them help you.

"I can't control myself because I don't know how." He can't control his urges.

"The doctors and the nurses they adore me so, but it's really quite alarming 'cause I'm such an awful fuck." They smile and treat him well despite what he's done.

It's definitely a different view than the others I've seen here, although several of them make just as much sense as well.

I Think this song is poking fun at Old fashioned blood letting. Making it morbidly comical in a way.

anonymous March 15th, 2008 01:00AM  
I think it's about a patient in the hospital because it says "Well they encourage your complete cooperation"--when the doctor tells you exactly what the procedure will be and how you need to act and "Send you roses when they think you need to smile"--like how people send you flowers in the hospital. and he know he's not doing so well but the nurses and doctors are just nice and professional "The doctors and the nurses they adore me so,But it's really quite alarming cause I'm such an awful fuck.""And they love me for it honestly, I'll be here for a while." and he has to have so many blood test and what not and he's tired of it

anonymous April 5th, 2008 09:48PM  
I think this song is proof that the patient lives.
Gerard had said that originally he thought the patient died, but then he thought that maybe the patient could fight it, in Famous Last Words.
HE had cancer, but he had an operation, and lost blood. Now he needs a transfusion.

anonymous May 6th, 2008 12:46AM  
I think "blood" is used to symbolize something really special... for example, gerard's music... It's something really special that everybody wants....

i dunno where my lines are going... but I really think this song is about not being satisfied...or obsession...

gerard is so deep.... He always use symbolism in his songs...
