Don't forget...

Not all songs are interpreted by their video clips..

This song's about being backstabbed by your own girlfriend(cheated on you,ec) and he's still hurting and probably never will recover from the pain...

This song is basically about when gerrard was in high school and had a crush on this girl and she took some "skimpy pics" with her boyfriend it shows how he was really broken afterwards.(as the song title suggests.) and as the song suggests ( " I never want to let you down or have you go its better off this way")he would never try to actually "love" her the way he did before. Also he seems kind of bitter.( "remember when you broke your foot from jumping out the second floor?") and before that he sings("for all the dirty looks.") I excluded the "boyfriend photogragh" part cause it was already mentioned,and, remember when I said he was bitter well the line before says "for" well in other words he's saying. "for everything thing you've done, remember when you broke your foot from jumping out the second floor?". If you didn't get that then it means that he wanted her to jump off a tall building.
Also, in the next verse he sings."what will it take to show you that its not the life it seems?" in other words she had a better social life than him. Notice why I say social? In the next two lines he sings."I told you time and time again you sing the words but don't know what it means, to be a joke and look, another line without a hook." this is why I say "social", she's says she's a joke because she didn't really consider herself "worth it" whilst he only had one friend, and the girl of his dreams is giving out dirty pics.
Also in "look another line without a hook" he sings that it is not really true which is what "another line without a hook means" I mean look at his situation at the time. Finally ( since this is my first comment on this website!) "I held you close as we both shook" is pretty straightforward. It means that he helped her through everything and she didn't care!

Hope you know look for more interpretations with the name m.I.A under. Since this is my first it will be called m.I.A 1

This song is about a guy who had a relationship with a girl then they broke up, it's obvious because he talks about memories they had "remember when you broke your foot from jumping out the 2nd floor" then after their relation ship ended they don't get along "for all the dirty looks" and the whole not okay is the guy saying he's okay but he's really not and the whole not okay thing could have something to do with suicide or he could still like the girl this is a possibility because of the line "the photographs your boyfriend took" so basically that's what I think.

Wtf.. Kurt was bi-polar you f**kin idiots. Maybe you should listen to the song lithium, might I add that lithium was a main ingredient in one of his drugs that he took as a mood regulator

It is about Gerard crushing on the most popular girl in school ( at least he thinks that ). He considers himself a geek compared to her and thinks he never has a chance with her. Slutty photos of her and her boy friend start showing up and that gets him depressed, which the 'i'm not okay' quote comes in there. It is also about mixed emotions he had as a teenager, and being rejected.

This song is about a girl that Gerard was dating in highschool but she had a boyfriend and he couldn't see her anymore

"Well if you wanted honesty, that's all you had to say.
I never want to let you down or have you go, *it's better off this way*"

"For all the dirty looks, the photographs your boyfriend took,"--he found pics of her and her boyfriend and he really loved this girl and he was jealous

"Remember when you broke your foot from jumping out the second floor?"-- they were sneaking around I guess and she had to jump out a window

"You wear me out"--hes tired from all of this

"To be a joke and look, another line without a hook"--hes not gonna fall for her stuff anymore

"I held you close as we both shook for the last time take a good hard look!"--he ended it with her"last time"

How can you interpret suicide from someone jumping out of a 2nd floor window? Seriously. I mean, they say the person broke a foot...they were probably drunk and doing stupid stuff and he's reminiscing. If anyone genuinely wanted to die, surely they'd go up a bit higher? Jumping two storeys would be like trying to overdose with 3 paracetamol. Engage braincells people. Just a suggestion.

anonymous November 26th, 2006 09:42PM  
well, I didn't really read everyone else's interpretation but. mine is that this song is just everything in you life kinda going "sour" I mean it could be anything, your parents getting devorced, you girlfriend/boyfriend breaking up with you or a death in the family...and no matter what you try to tell everyone including yourself that you're okay....but really deep down you are NOT O-F****** Kay! it sucks and you just keep telling yourself I'm okay and its basically you lieing to yourself. I'm a simpler way of sayin the song is basically unsuccessful self-theropy. In my opinion anyways

we live in a prozac nation

everyone has something wrong with them. Its like a status symbol for some people now (not that I agree with that at all)

its almost a piss take on how everyone's 'not okay' now

I also agree that it's about high school, because that's where a lot of the 'not okay' posing goes on

'I'm going to see my therapist on tuesday'
'well I've got two therapists'
'I've got an eating disorder so I beat you both'

....

you get what I mean, and that's the popular kids.

its also about how people can switch it on or off as they please

'I'm not okay, I'm okay now'

I don't think that's what the entirety of the song is about, but I reckon its the overview. There's definitely more in the verses etc that relate to specific incidents and stuff, but I shan't bore you all to tears by going into that now.

Actually, your all wrong.This song is about poultry. And interprative oragami on the western banks of shanghai. This song is also about just how good honey can be when you have a sore throat. And it's about poultry. Good clean wholesome american fun and poultry products. Tyson chicken. Thats what it talks about. With chemicals. Romancing the chicken, you know? Givvin it what fer if you know what I mean! Thank you very much.

Of course gerard is bi you crazy person!! he talks about guys grabbing his ass and how he wouldn't care. um... bi!! and yes, they have girlfriends.... but I'm pretty sure that if you're bi,... That means you like BOYS AND GIRLS!!!! which means he could be bi and have a GIRLFRIEND!!!

anonymous December 28th, 2006 02:25PM  
Mkay, Erica is right. In an interview it explained about suicide because his girlfriend cheated on him in highschool. He then decides that the girl knows nothing about him when she thinks she does. [[You said you'd read me like a book but the pages all are torn and frayed.]] The girl also thinks that everything in life is happy, and she can get anything she wants, [[what will it take to show you that it's not the life it seems?]] Then when he really thinks about it, they didn't really share anything in commen [[I told you time and time again you sing the words, but you don't know what they mean]]

So, I guess that's pretty much it.

:]

This song is plainly about being a loner in high school and always feeling rejected and used and getting revenge on the people that have made it like that for you.

anonymous February 23rd, 2007 07:27PM  
Okay yeah MCR has a lot of songs about committing suicide. But not every song is about it! And people who say that every song is are SEVERELY MISTAKEN!

anonymous March 6th, 2007 11:18PM  
He's talking about his ex girlfriend. "Well if you wanted honesty that's all you had to say" means that she probably dumped him because he wasn't being honest. "What will it take to show you that it's not the life it seems" means that she was judging him by the way he appeared. "but you don't know what it means to be a joking look another line without a hook" means that he was probably a dork and she just labeled him that before getting to know him. "for the last time, take a good hard look" means that she should look deeper into him. "You said you'd read me like a book, but the pages are all torn and frayed" means that she thought she new him when she was still missing something. and then "I'm okay, trust me, I'm not okay!" means that he still isn't over her.
