On life on the murder scene Gerard said that it's the most important song on I brought you my bullets.... And that it started out as a joke

The song is about Gerard's past and how to learn from his mistakes. It all started with Peter Pan, and they grew up so fast it was too much for him he started using anti depresants (red ones, blue ones) untill it became cocaine addiction and he was going to kill himself. The best part of this song is they always give suicide hotline numbers after the show. They saved my life, others life, and MCR saved Gerard's life...

This song sounds a lot like an unstable relationship. and how you can often go to the extreams with dealing with it.
like drug use.
"and now the red ones make me fly and the blue ones help me fall"
and suicide. "And I think I'll blow my brains against the ceiling" but intead of chosing those outlets for the problem, you should find better solutions.

"just think happy thoughts, and we'll fly home"
but...thats just how I feel about it.

It's about suicide. And now the red ones make me fly
And the blue ones help me fall is about drugs

anonymous March 25th, 2007 02:41PM  

well it's about his addiction to drugs and how he ended up suicidal that's what he says on the dvd three cheers

yes, this is about suicide. Although many think, "think happy thought" is literal. I think it traces to Peter Pan. He meant think happy thoughts and you'll fly away from your problems or to your home/haven. I think he's just saying think happy thought and you'll feel okay again or something like that.

This song is about suicide and how Gerard was saying if he commited suicide to not be sad.

MCR wrote this song for the people out there that are so down and depressed that they feel they need to kill themselves, they wrote it to try and make these people happier, hence the upbeat tempo of the song.

They sing about blue and red pills, which are both placebo pills but with different effects “these red ones make me fly” these have a stimulant effect, which would temporarily make the person happy, then “the blue ones help me fall” these have a depressant effect, so after taking these comes the lyric “I think I’ll blow my brain against the ceiling” because the person is now depressed again.

Then they sing “just think happy thoughts” they want people to think about all the good things in their life, and not just the bad, what they’ll be leaving behind if they go through with it.

This song was written by Gerard when he was very depressed and under the influence of a lot of drugs and feeling suicidal, basically it's about as Gerard said "don't fucking do it"

anonymous August 11th, 2007 05:39PM  

Well, Its kind of Obvious that they are talking about Suicide, but it would be just plain emo.

ninjacait October 23rd, 2007 05:09AM  

Its obviously about suicide, and anyone who reckons its not about suicide must be taking crazy opposite pills or something. and at the beginning this song was written as a joke to see if they could pull it off

Poeta_sombria November 15th, 2007 05:26PM  

This song is about being depressed and wanting to kill yourself

“I can’t begin to let you know just what I’m feeling�
“I think I’ll blow my brains against the ceiling�

He’s feeling depressed and suicidal

“the red ones make me fly and the blue ones help me fall�

He’s taking anti depressants or drugs to feel better

“think happy thoughts�

He’s trying to have positive thoughts because he doesn’t want to feel that way

Headfirst for halos is clearly about drug use between depressants and antidepressants.
"the red ones make me fly, and the blue ones help me fall."

it's also about suicide as the singer is thinking about getting out of it by killing himself.
"and I think I'll blow my brains against the ceiling."

"just think happy thoughts" is saying to think of things to save yourself from the drugs and suicide.

Feel happy while reading about My Chem saving that many guys from suicide as if they were the last (and truly: only) bloody thing in this world that's no suicidal cause.

Headfirst for Halos is obviously about suicide. The intro sends out the most significant message (confusion!).

Pls don't mind but: "think happy thoughts" sounds ironic to me.

Well, I would like to credit the info of this interpetation to my.. School. O.O We had an officer come in and explain about how stimulants and tranquiliazers are balanced out.

This song definetely has to do with suicide, and drug abuse.

Hence;

"These red ones make me fly,
And the blue ones help me fall."

Red is referring to the stimulant, which excites the body, and makes it 'fly.' Blue is referring to the tranquilizer whish mellows out and slows down the body, and basically brings it down from a high. Stimulants and tranqulizers are often taken in together. Stimulant first, and then the tranquilizer to calm you down.

The line:

"And I think I'll blow my brains against the ceiling."

Is probably referring to suicide via a gun.

Well, that's my look on it!

Its all about drugs and suicide. The chorus line is about what he wants, and fantasizes about, but its not really happening.

anonymous June 27th, 2008 08:28AM  

I Think this song is about having too much pressure and wanting to kill yourself. "Lets go back to the day that starts it all" I think means "think back to the day I started to be suicidal." and "we'll fly home, you and i-" means "we will die together" And the part "Think happy thoughts" is him calming himself down at a point in which he is ready to kill himself. and the last one "think happ-whoo" is when he finally pulls the trigger and it is all over. and I also know from watching life on the murder scene that this song wasn't supposed to make it onto the album because Gerard wrote it in a deep depression or something like that

anonymous December 17th, 2008 03:03PM  

Well this song is about Gerards struggles and how he was on pills to controll his suicidal and depressive thoughts. Gerard used to take in his worse state blue pills as an anti-depressant, these of course being very powerfull would make him feel ontop of the world and almost flying. And the red pills where his kind of sedative to make him sleep, as I think it was he was either so hyped from the blue pill he couldnt sleep or stress was getting to him, these would make him 'fall'. The reference to the pixie dust is becase when gerard was younger he played in the peter pan production at him school, and it reminded him so much on how he felt he grew up too quickly, and whished he had more time to be a child like peter pan as he is a child forever.

when i first heard this song, it sounded like a drug addiction. i still think that, but now i think it's about gerard's life. red ones and blue ones are pills he took. they were depressants and anti-depressants. the think happy thoughts means he's struggeling with the everyday stress and bad events and trying to keep going by thinking about good times. as gerard said, this song it the most important one on the record, and it really is if you think about it.

anonymous June 24th, 2009 06:34PM  

To me it's about drugs & suicide. "Let's go back to the middle of the day, that starts it all." --- Going back to the beginning of something, possibly an addiction? "The red ones make me fly, and the blue ones help me fall." --- Drugs. "I think I'll blow my brains against the ceiling." --- Obviously suicide. "Just think happy thoughts & we'll fly home." --- Leaving to a better place. I think this has some correlation with the afterlife.
