About two years ago, in a suicide note, I told my family to play this at my funeral. Now, coming back to it healthy and doing so much better, I can't help but cry. I never thought a song could have two totally different meanings to me until now. Thanks, MCR.
I've had a total of 6 suicide attempts in my life, all failed, but let me tell you something. I'm going to quote Adam Gontièr here and say it's not too late, it's never too late. This summer, I finally had enough of being in Arkansas, it broke me down to where I felt worthless and I was so numb to any emotion that I was unable to let out the tears I wanted to, but I solved it. I thought there was no way out with everything, but now I'm living up in Missouri (finally back after 6 years) with my grandparents and my life has gotten so much better. I thought it was hopeless, and I was so low. Rock bottom is nothing compared to where I was. I drilled through the earth and plummeted so far down, but I had the strength to move on. Just remember, you may not always be able to do something about it, but depression can always be helped. It will always exist, but much like fear, we can't let it consume our lives. The one thing I will say is only tell close friends and family because counselors send you to mental hospitals that make your mental health worse. Edit: Now I'm living in Blue Springs with my father because my grandfather assaulted my sister. Hopefully I'll be back in Stockton next year. Another edit: Nope, life fucking sucks again and I'm doing worse than I ever was before.
My Chemical Romance isn't fucking emo. Just because Welcome to the Black Parade, I'm Not Okay, and Teenagers are emo doesn't mean the band is. You have to look at more than just a handful of songs to determine a band's genre. Very few My Chem songs are actually emo, this is one that is far from. When 95% of My Chemical Romance's discography isn't emo, you can't call the band emo.
Well.. G was very suicidal but he gave us what he couldnt give himself back then, happiness and the will to go on. Im happy that mcr is kinda gone now cuz I know G will be happier this way
Basic Alpaca they might be, who knows. A lot of bands admit selling their soul and that’s not a joke. Jack Black, Bob Dylan, Ronnie Radke, you can look those up. I have Christian beliefs and I love mcr so idk.
Gee wrote this song for us. He loved his fans. He knew his music had saved so many people, especially those who were in depression and needed support. MCR would end one day, he always knew that and he wanted his fans to be strong. "Just remember you will always burn as bright"
To me it can mean a lot of things. I have applied this song to the characters in the book that I’m writing. I just right as a hobby not as a profession. I don’t publish, but I want to
Payton Larocque because it puts a human body to music, which is magical. our brains would usually prefer a visual to accompany music so dance is the perfect way to do that. if you've ever seen a really good performance, its like experiencing silk.
At the end of the song, when Gerard repeats 'The light behind your eyes' it gets softer each time, and further away. Like he's singing you to sleep, and you start to hear him less as you drift away... 'If I could be with you tonight, I would sing you to sleep'
Gerard wants to make music. Mikey wants to make music. Frank wants to make music. Ray wants to make music. ... They should make a band... ... ...That's a great idea...
Just comes back as a rotting corpse, pulls out phone, plays this song, lays down humming this song and singing it, dies at the end giving everyone the bird
dylxn grxce i like coming back to these songs every now and then and other songs i used to listen to just to see how far along ive come and seeing that i actually made it through those times and it makes me really happy knowing i didnt kill myself those times i really wanted to and that it didnt work the time i tried
This song means the world to me. Not just because MCR wrote it, but because my older brother would sing this to me whenever he had the chance to call me. He died Iraq last October and it broke my heart, but I still love him and I will never forget our good times together. I will never forget the times he sang this song to me! Never!
My cousin died today. He was one. He'd been born with an atrophied spine. When I saw him last month, he didn't have enough strength to lift his hands. He could barely breathe by himself. It was nobody's fault, other than luck's. If a couple chromosomes didn't arrange in the specific way they did, my cousin would still be toying in his bed, able to lead a normal life. Rest in peace, Marcio.
harley quinn Must have been funnnnn. Lol, when I was in highschool, I did 4 reports on Gee, 5 inspired artworks, and 2 oral presentations because it's impossible to not be obsessed with him.

I still can't believe that I discovered MCR after they broke up and that one fact is tearing me apart. I wish more people had more appreciation for music like this...
My Chemical Romance is done. But it can never die. It is alive in me, in the guys, and it is alive inside all of you. I always knew that, and I think you did too. Because it is not a band- it is an idea. Love, Gerard Gosh. After all this years, this is still one of my most favorite song ever. The meaning and emotions that Gerard invested in this song is too much. It's suffocating enough that it makes your heart ache.
In seven days, I'll be six months clean of self harm. But the world seems to have been trying to break me this month... My dad told me that he would not support my descision to beome a makeup artist and took away all of my makeup. My mom told me she's thinking of leaving my dad. My youth leader cancelled the only good part of my year every year. I'm having to accept the fact that I'm not going to be be able to compete in music like I used to, since I've missed over a year of practicing because of injuries... I almost relapsed, but then this song came on shuffle, and damn it hit me so hard. MCR is still alive and well. It still saves lives, still impacts people, still inspires. Thank you, MCR. 2001-∞
hang in there... and follow your dreams no matter what... sometimes it's easy to give up and difficult not to give up... but remember, we become who we want to be and nothing can stop us... even when the whole world turns upside down and tries to stop you you persist and make your mark... we live for ourselves first and foremost and we deserve to be happy and we deserve to be well... I wish you the best!
When I was just a kid, every day I got the light ripped away from me to the point where there has been none left for a while now. When I heard this song I started trying to take it back, little by little. I just want to say thank you for inspiring me to keep living my life and get back the light behind my eyes.
And it's the best feeling in the world, isn't it? Slowly pulling the starlight back into your eyes, living your life by your rules. I wish you the best the universe has yet to offer you and I hope light comes back behind your eyes 💜
I wasn't born in the generation where mcr was big any more, I'm 14 rn, but I'm in love with Mcr, this song is their song that hits me so much in the feels
aww, welcome baby, i hope they help you as much as they did me then. (it’s so weird bc i remember commenting something like that in like 2014 bc it was 2 years after their end and i’m glad to see the cycle continuing)
It's funny. People are so quick to call us wrist slitters, constantly making jokes about the music we listen to. Despite all of the harassment we go through, we still come together as one and lift each other up. It's amazing and an honour to be apart of such a community. No matter where someone is from, or how far away they are from one another, we still chose to help eachother. And look, It doesn't matter if you're a maggot, apart of the clique, a Killjoy, or if you never shout never. The comments on this video alone show how strong we all are as one. So stay strong guys, we've already come so far.
I'm in tears. This was my go to song in 6th grade, when i was so depressed. I was moving that year, leaving my friends behind. I wasn't ready, I needed them there to keep me alive. All throughout the year they helped me through my darkest times and I helped them. I sang this song to them at karaoke at my birthday party, a few days before I moved. None of them understood, but at the end of the song I was in tears and hugging all of them. I'm gone now, but I'm happy now. I lost touch with a few of them but one of them is still around, and she is my best friend. I dream of them every night, seriously, and hold them oh so close. I love you, Kaydance, Julia, Emma, Madison, Aris, Georgia. Forever in my hearts, I hope you are all doing okay.

gerards voice is so different from other male singers, i dont know how to explain it; but it makes me feel so many emotions and its just so calming, its like its a portal to heaven
I've heard this was written for her, like a "I love you and I'm sorry that the world will be cruel sometimes but I'll always be with you even when I die" from Gerard. I hope it's true :3
My Chemical Romance is done. But it can never die. It is alive in me, in the guys, and it is alive inside all of you. I always knew that, and I think you did too. Because it is not a band- it is an idea. Love, Gerard
Do not be ashamed of crying, do not try to keep yourselves from crying. Crying is proof that you are a human. Crying is proof that you care and you love. You should be free to cry your eyes away whenever you need to.
Even if it's almost 5 years since they got separated, I won't find another band that'll make me feel like My Chemical Romance does. I cry so hard with this song...
~~~Dedicated to MCR~~~ Even though the world may be ugly, We are not afraid. Even though I'm not okay, I promise we are not afraid to walk alone. Because they will never crush the light behind our eyes! And we will never surrender the night! My bulletproof heart is worthless, The only hope I have for myself comes from you! "I don't love you" the haters say while your true fans say the opposite. The ghost of you lives on Through your own music Through your own music lovers KILLJOYS MAKE SOME NOISE
I was already crying and this made my tear wells completely dry up. I have been listening to falling in reverse a lot but then i just wanted to hear mama again it then led on a trail of songs that got me remembering all the shit i have just survived i then listened to this song and it literally mad me shatter to pieces. and going threw the comments i now know that i am not the only one that uses amazing bands like my chemical romance and falling in reverse to heal their bad and broken dreams. I know now that no matter what happens in life I can always turn to music. No matter what my chemical romance and falling in reverse will always complete my fucked up life. I am not ok (I Promise) this world may be ugly and mama may have turned her back. Be my detonator. teenagers scare the living shit out of me.Join the black parade. and sing.
Sometimes I imagine this as a goodbye before taking your life or dying because you're sick, other times as if Gee was singing to Bandit to be strong after he is gone and other times as if Gee was telling us to stay strong after MCR was done.The part that hit me the most the first time I heard this song was ''Never let them take the light behind your eyes'' cause I couldn't help but thinking 'What if it's already gone?'
I want to sing this to my sister. She doesn't understand my depression, or why I want to die. I never want her to understand. Even when I'm dead and lost my fight. I never want her to feel that pain. I never want her to lose the light behind her eyes. Edit: Still cry to this song and struggle sometimes but I'm doing better :) I'm starting college with my sister, and I'm also starting to see some light in my own eyes
Hey i know that I'm just a stranger to you but ... Please do me a favour and don't commit suicide or something. Even if you don't know it the world needs you , and there are people that will miss you . Your comment made me tear up and i don't cry nor do I tear up , don't take this the wrong way it just made me wanna do something about it . So please don't harm yourself , if you feel lonely just talk to someone close or if you are ok with it you can even talk to me ,i swear I'm not a creep I'm just trying to help . I know that this will sound stupid or silly or even creepy but i care about you even if i don't know you. That was it have a nice day , month , and life. And don't forget the world is ugly but to me (and to many others ) you are beautiful. Edit : and if you're feeling down or not enough please listen to : scars to your beautiful
She does understand I see and feel her soul.. with each step a hurt. And her mind can't stop thinking--------alone all she does because no one will understand her pain that her soul feels....
I know that alot of people listen to this song when they're sad or depressed so just keep living long enough to see your life get better stay strong killjoys
***** I didn't think I would cry this time..... or the twelfth time today.... But this song is just to emotional for me right now... I repeat I am Not Okay!!
I don't know who you are or why your here, but I want you to know that you are incredible. You are worth everything. The world is a better place with you in it. There are people who love you, who will miss you. Dont ever forget that. Stay for your friends, your family, stay for me. It does get better. Yes, it takes years and never completely heals but time does help. Stay strong.
Thank you, it is hard because of bullying and people like @emounmasked on Instagram who spread false rumors and call people who they don't even know pieces of shit and freaks simply because we are different and it just hurts. The only reason that I am here now is people like you and mcr so thank you
@@nicodiangelo7988 Don't worry about them. They are dissing on every emo band and their fans. They are a liar. Do not. I repeat. Do not. let them ever touch your mind and mental health. Here. Here's something to inspire you: th-cam.com/video/b8ODZm6WfTo/w-d-xo.html Stay Strong Killjoy friend. 😞✊💖
This is the kind of music that never gets old. The kind that never dies. The kind that saves lives. God bless this band; what I would do for them to get back together. I am waiting patiently. VERY PATIENTLY.
My Chemical Romance is done. But it can never die. It is alive in me, in the guys, and it is alive inside all of you. I always knew that, and I think you did too. Because it is not a band- it is an idea. Love, Gerard why the fuck was this at the beggining? This made me cry in social studies.
So... today my cat was poisoned and died in my arms, looking in my eyes, quietly listening to the lullaby i sang just for him since he was little, i still can't believe that i won't be singing to him anymore, that we won't cuddle to sleep and he won't annoy me with his never ending meows. it hurts like hell that someone took the light behind his eyes and i won't be able to sing him to sleep and protect him anymore.
The memory flashed in mind of that night. My Halloween too died in my arms. She was in so much pain so I held her to give any comfort. The both of us fell asleep, only I woke.
You'll never lose the light behind your eyes. You are strong, as all of us here are. Even after all the torment life can throw at you. Even through all the screaming in your head. You will always burn as bright.
that was literally me two minutes ago. dude look up what this song is about i was BALLING. this was the website; www.lyricinterpretations.com/my-chemical-romance/the-light-behind-your-eyes
"Since I am bad with goodbyes, I refuse to let this be one. But I will leave you with one last thing- My Chemical Romance is done, but it will never die. It is alive in me, the guys, and it is alive in all of you. I always knew that, and I think you did too. Because it is not a band, it is an idea." -Love, Gerard

I know a lot of people on this comment section are hurting; so am I. But if we stay strong together, then sure enough we'll all get through it. So to anyone reading this who feels like they don't matter or who's hurting inside, I'm here to tell you to stay strong. This world needs you; that's why you're here. I believe in you and I know you'll get through whatever it is you're going through.
I lost my uncle to suicide 4 years ago. It's been 4 years and I haven't stopped grieving. I think about him everyday. His laugh is only a memory now. I remember the last hug he gave me and the last thing I said was "love you uncle Scott". The pain I feel in my heart from missing him is unimaginable. To anyone struggling with suicidal thoughts or feelings: the world needs you. You family needs you. Hell, I need you. Never let them take the light behind your eyes because it will take the light from others. Keep fighting. Your presence is irreplaceable.
I understand what you are going through. My grandpa died last year due to covid. I miss him every day. Mcr stopped me from killing myself. This comment made me realize that I can still be good even though he's gone. I am seriously crying. Thank you
My eyes slowly closed as I nodded my head to the music. I sat in the pews of an abandoned church, cold and alone with only a dying iPhone by my side. I should have called someone but, who was left for me to call? They all died so long ago, leaving me holding back tears. All I wanted was to join them and leave this dark world. Rejoin them in the light. My sisters last words were "never let them take the light behind your eyes". I live by that. I'll die like that in this darkened church, I'll go down in lights. A deep blue flame. I picked up a match and lit it. The dust filled air suddenly became warm and burst to life in a gorgeous orange flame engulfing me and the church. Burning us finally into the ground. Where I finally saw my family.
The last time I cried was eight years ago during an...incident. I haven't cried since because to me crying is like letting people know they got to you. That they won and beat you down. I don't people to know they got to me ever again.
To be honest, this is the most I’ve ever cried during a song. It sounds stupid, but the breakup, (and me knowing that one of the most amazing things I had ever known had ended) has me in my room, bawling over this song. EDIT: Their songs had deep meanings and messages, and just thinking about it being gone, really hurts. I know it’s stupid
I've seen some people dedicate this song to their loved ones. So sister, this song is for you, I promise you I'll never let them take the light behind your eyes, no matter what. I'll live for you, I'll fight for you, do everything I can and I swear we'll both see better days. I love you
this reminds me of my internet best friend.she suffers from depression and has a broken family.when shes not okay i just send her this song to remind her that im always there for her.
it makes me think of my best internet friend also....she also suffered from depression. I failed her....she lost her fight in november of last year. I hope your friend doesnt lose her fight.....stay alive frens I-/
This song makes me cry every single time. And when the tears are done...I feel stronger. Like I could climb a mountain if I tried. This song means so SO much to me. More than words could ever explain.
I write arms races not fashion statements I hate the stereotype that emo bands make people depressed and suicidal. They actually do quite the opposite. They make depressed people happier. It's like a drug that keeps them sane.
People talk shit on MCR way too much. They’re one of the most important rock bands in recent memory and there’s no telling how much they changed the pop rock and hard rock scene alike.
this song means everything to me i’ve been so close to suicide so many times. this is one of those times. this song is helping me through. thank you mcr. thank you for everything.
This song will always hold a special place in my heart. Since I lost the woman who has been a mother to me my whole life, I've turned to music to cope. When I found this song I just relate to it so much, and every year on her birthday, and the anniversary of her death I will sing this song in memory of her. Someday I plan to do a cover of this song in honor of her, and I will always love this song.
I'm sorry. But you HAVE to promise me something? Please? Never let them take the light behind your eyes and never fade in the dark. Be strong and hid my hand and we can make it through this fucked up works together?
My relationship started 3 years ago with My Chemical Romance and endet with the end of My Chemical Romance. This was my own chemical romance! My girlfriend bought me a CD friom mcr at the end of our relationship. And it all starts in my car and we listend to mcr. It was the Alpha and Omega, it was MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE!
You know those classic and eternal bands everyone loves and listens to, no matter what age? Queen, The Ramones, The Beatles, Sex Pistols, KISS... yes. I believe in my heart with no doubt that My Chemical Romance is already in that list. I know I'll be a crazy old lady whose (probably super technologic playlist) will play every morning a MCR song to light up the sky and kill the pain. They are unique. Don't you dare saying: "Oh, MCR is done but there's TOP", "[...] but there's P!ATD", "[...] but there's FOB" because they're not even close. Just don't think that a band is fully alive by playing concerts and releasing new music, 'cause music itself is always alive, no matter time. My Chemical Romance is in the air, in our hearts, in our souls, therefore they're more alive than ever before.
FANNIE T, for me, My Chemical Romance's music is just too powerful to ever go away. I just know that I'll be listening to MCR even though they've been long gone because to me they're still alive. I mean I understand listening to other music but you can't just forget about them.
For me, Fob, Mcr and P!atD are all unique, maybe they going in the same direction of genre but they are all different and no other band can replace them :)
i completely agree i do like TOP and P!ATD and FOB but MCR is by far one thats been there for me as long as i can remember. they are still my favourite band.
I can hear what Gerard is trying to say. Even without the band (or the reference to himself in this song), he would want us to be stronger than what we were before. He wants us to carry on and keep living, stronger, better, and faster. He would never let anyone take away what is your special connection with him. Even if you had never met Gerard, he still has a connection with you. Every time you comment on one of his videos or Instagram pictures, he gets a notification. You don't think that sometimes he might go through those comments and read them and think of how much love both sides have for one another? He is so grateful of us for inspiring and staying with him through all of the ups and downs he has been through. He wants us to be as strong as he is, and eventually, as strong as he was.
+Molly Way Iero Urie Howell Lester Quinn Fuentes This is because Gerard is the MOST FREAKING INSPIRATIONAL PERSON ON THIS PLANET AND WE ALL LOVE HIM SO MUCH FOR THAT AND HIS MUSIC AND EVERYTHING HE DOES. *violently sobbing.
+Killjoy Molly I like to listen to this song when I am at my saddest. It feels like he is saying to continue to be strong and fight through the opposing forces in your life that bring you down, never let these set backs discourage you and to hold onto hope. I particularly like the lyric "If I could be with you tonight I would sing you to sleep," because it feels like he is saying that each time we are losing the will to live he wants to be there to console us. Similar to how a mother sings their child to sleep when they are crying.
The 27th of August was a hard day for me as it marked 2 years since I found my best friend dead it has changed my life forever and i miss her every single day, this used to be our song we would listen to it all the time. This is for you Natalie ❤❤
There are no words that could describe what I am feeling for you right now. That must've been really hard. But you will always burn as bright and no one will ever take the light behind your eyes because you are strong. Best of luck to you and your family
I always tend to come back to this song when I have no hope left. Thank you gee, Mikey, frank and Ray for this life saver. I can never thank you enough for this song
I always come back to this song when I'm worried I may lose my battle with mental illness. My Chemical Romance has been with me through every breakdown for a long time and are the reason I'm still here, and this particular song has had a major effect on me.
This song was the song that was playing when I got in my car accident this April. I went over the line into the gravel and overcorrected when taking a sharp turn on the interstate which involved spinning across the lanes and landing on the roof. Glad that the light wasn't taken from behind my eyes and didn't lose my fight. I had recently been struggling a lot with mental illness and suicidal thoughts so that car accident and this song combined were definitely eye openers.
I got into a bad accident too. Back in the March of 2015. There were two fatalities and I almost lost my grandmother. We just wanted to go to the beach while my brother was still with us. My sister's birthday was the day after too. It was an awful time. I had chipped my hip. Moving it in the slightest bit was excruciatingly painful. I cried a few times because of how much it hurt. My dad came to visit with us while we recovered. I decided I'd go to church with him to make him happy. As we were leaving I almost cried in front of everyone because I had moved it accidentally. I still get cramps from moving around every once in a while. Car accidents are so traumatic. Even if you only get slightly injured you still have scars mentally. I was quite depressed at the time. I swore everything was falling apart.

About two years ago, in a suicide note, I told my family to play this at my funeral. Now, coming back to it healthy and doing so much better, I can't help but cry. I never thought a song could have two totally different meanings to me until now. Thanks, MCR.
I've had a total of 6 suicide attempts in my life, all failed, but let me tell you something. I'm going to quote Adam Gontièr here and say it's not too late, it's never too late. This summer, I finally had enough of being in Arkansas, it broke me down to where I felt worthless and I was so numb to any emotion that I was unable to let out the tears I wanted to, but I solved it. I thought there was no way out with everything, but now I'm living up in Missouri (finally back after 6 years) with my grandparents and my life has gotten so much better. I thought it was hopeless, and I was so low. Rock bottom is nothing compared to where I was. I drilled through the earth and plummeted so far down, but I had the strength to move on. Just remember, you may not always be able to do something about it, but depression can always be helped. It will always exist, but much like fear, we can't let it consume our lives. The one thing I will say is only tell close friends and family because counselors send you to mental hospitals that make your mental health worse.
Edit: Now I'm living in Blue Springs with my father because my grandfather assaulted my sister. Hopefully I'll be back in Stockton next year.
Another edit: Nope, life fucking sucks again and I'm doing worse than I ever was before.
@@typhlosion7872 I'm so glad you are still here ❤
I'm glad your here person that I probably will never meet
Well done. That is amazing. Well done
You've done your best and thank you for being stronger
director: fine, Gerard, how many emos do you want to cry?
Gerard: yes.
yea you right
I just imagined lots of mini emo people falling from Gerard's eyes

My Chemical Romance isn't fucking emo. Just because Welcome to the Black Parade, I'm Not Okay, and Teenagers are emo doesn't mean the band is. You have to look at more than just a handful of songs to determine a band's genre. Very few My Chem songs are actually emo, this is one that is far from. When 95% of My Chemical Romance's discography isn't emo, you can't call the band emo.
typhlosion 787 Gerard is so emo he fell apart, nuff said.
It kills me to think that people think MCR is a suicidal band. Their music has given people the strength to live. This song is no different.
Well.. G was very suicidal but he gave us what he couldnt give himself back then, happiness and the will to go on. Im happy that mcr is kinda gone now cuz I know G will be happier this way
Yeah Hawthorne heights is the suicide band, get it right
agreed
My parents thinks that mcr is satanic :/
Basic Alpaca they might be, who knows. A lot of bands admit selling their soul and that’s not a joke. Jack Black, Bob Dylan, Ronnie Radke, you can look those up. I have Christian beliefs and I love mcr so idk.
“If you promise not to cry”
me: *starts immensely balling*
SAME.
I don't know why but since the first time I heard that song, I always start to cry when that part comes
YES
THAT LINE ALWAYS GETS ME
Every damn time
Always lol
Gee wrote this song for us. He loved his fans. He knew his music had saved so many people, especially those who were in depression and needed support. MCR would end one day, he always knew that and he wanted his fans to be strong.
"Just remember you will always burn as bright"
I'm crying
They broke up 2 months later
To me it can mean a lot of things. I have applied this song to the characters in the book that I’m writing. I just right as a hobby not as a profession. I don’t publish, but I want to
Not loved. He still loves us.
@@kaleidstone8609 same here, if you ever publish any of them let me know! I would love to read some of your stories.
If I ever met MCR, I would only be able to get two words out: "thank you."
Same..

Me too
I did meet MCR and i couldnt get any words out
This song is so beautiful and full of emotion. As I like to say, Music is the most powerful form of art.
I'm sobbing
Pinkjuice12 I think dance is the most powerful form of art
Mary Handley Why? .-.
Payton Larocque because it puts a human body to music, which is magical. our brains would usually prefer a visual to accompany music so dance is the perfect way to do that. if you've ever seen a really good performance, its like experiencing silk.
And the most powerful form of medicine
you never let them take the light behind your eyes. welcome back.

what do you mean they’re back?? for real!????
@@exoscalmfan191 YESSSS
Welcome back everyone

At the end of the song, when Gerard repeats 'The light behind your eyes' it gets softer each time, and further away. Like he's singing you to sleep, and you start to hear him less as you drift away...
'If I could be with you tonight, I would sing you to sleep'

The first time I heard this song was when I was waking up from a nap and I heard that part and I fell back to sleep. It was nice

OHMYGODOHMYGODIHMYGOOÖOOOOD. WHY? Why not europe Q.Q AHHHHHHH I've loved this band for what seems like several decades now and they justttttt
They're even coming back to where it all began to perform :')
After a year I finally decided to revisit this song....ended up crying but it made me happy in a way. Definitely of the most beautiful MCR songs.
I just found it, and the only thing that stopped me from crying is reading comments while it was playing.
After a long fight with cancer I come back to feel the greatness of this song
dylxn grxce i like coming back to these songs every now and then and other songs i used to listen to just to see how far along ive come and seeing that i actually made it through those times and it makes me really happy knowing i didnt kill myself those times i really wanted to and that it didnt work the time i tried
ima have to ruin 666
I agree
"I'ts not a band, i'ts an idea"
Great words..

This song means the world to me. Not just because MCR wrote it, but because my older brother would sing this to me whenever he had the chance to call me. He died Iraq last October and it broke my heart, but I still love him and I will never forget our good times together. I will never forget the times he sang this song to me! Never!
So sorry for your loss. I'm glad this song can be a special memory for you. Music is so good for keeping those memories alive. ❤
May your brother rest in peace, dear. May no one ever forget his sacrifice. All of my love to your family, and all of my respect to him.
You're Brother is in Valhalla now.
All time Fantasy I'm so sorry. *hugs you*
Same. Except my brother took his life in May on 28th. I loved him so much and I wish he was here with me.
My cousin died today.
He was one. He'd been born with an atrophied spine. When I saw him last month, he didn't have enough strength to lift his hands. He could barely breathe by himself.
It was nobody's fault, other than luck's. If a couple chromosomes didn't arrange in the specific way they did, my cousin would still be toying in his bed, able to lead a normal life.
Rest in peace, Marcio.
Miguel de Lima he would have loved you very much. i hope you feel better soon.
Everything's gonna be okey,even tho he died he will always be alive in your ❤️
RIP MARCIO 🕊❤
Ik this was long time ago but I just wanna say he's always with you. ❤️

My literature leacher gave us an assignment to write a short story based off a song. I chose this song and it made her cry.
That's actually a hobby of mine. Can I read it? Sorry, I'm just an awkward passerby in the TH-cam comments trying to avoid crying.
I did a report on gee and got A 96

Must have been funnnnn. Lol, when I was in highschool, I did 4 reports on Gee, 5 inspired artworks, and 2 oral presentations because it's impossible to not be obsessed with him.

Gosh. After all this years, this is still one of my most favorite song ever. The meaning and emotions that Gerard invested in this song is too much. It's suffocating enough that it makes your heart ache.
People are saying that they're crying over this but I feel like I'm too sad to even cry
Isabel Piper I’m literally sat here like 👁👄👁 cried too much today so now I’m just binging all of mcrs sads songs
"all the emo kids ever"
Me too man, me too
dude ive never felt so sad unto a comment ever as much as this before, same
Why can I relate so well to this?
Gee is really feeling the words he's singing. So much he changed his style of singing a little bit in this song
I KNOW THAT'S SO CRAZY
In seven days, I'll be six months clean of self harm. But the world seems to have been trying to break me this month... My dad told me that he would not support my descision to beome a makeup artist and took away all of my makeup. My mom told me she's thinking of leaving my dad. My youth leader cancelled the only good part of my year every year. I'm having to accept the fact that I'm not going to be be able to compete in music like I used to, since I've missed over a year of practicing because of injuries... I almost relapsed, but then this song came on shuffle, and damn it hit me so hard.
MCR is still alive and well. It still saves lives, still impacts people, still inspires.
Thank you, MCR.
2001-∞
Twenty Paphonies good luck
Twenty Paphonies ded
I know it has been 5 months, but how is it going? I hope you are still going strong. :)
SOME BUT STILL CUTING
hang in there... and follow your dreams no matter what... sometimes it's easy to give up and difficult not to give up... but remember, we become who we want to be and nothing can stop us... even when the whole world turns upside down and tries to stop you you persist and make your mark... we live for ourselves first and foremost and we deserve to be happy and we deserve to be well... I wish you the best!
When I was just a kid, every day I got the light ripped away from me to the point where there has been none left for a while now. When I heard this song I started trying to take it back, little by little. I just want to say thank you for inspiring me to keep living my life and get back the light behind my eyes.
And it's the best feeling in the world, isn't it? Slowly pulling the starlight back into your eyes, living your life by your rules. I wish you the best the universe has yet to offer you and I hope light comes back behind your eyes 💜
Never let them take the light behind your eyes. you will never fade in the dark and you will suggests burn as bright. No matter what.
I wasn't born in the generation where mcr was big any more, I'm 14 rn, but I'm in love with Mcr, this song is their song that hits me so much in the feels
They're still big, believe me.

I wish I had friends that listen to MCR irl.. I'm 16 and i just don't fit in..
@@yasminanas6867 We could be friends tho
aww, welcome baby, i hope they help you as much as they did me then. (it’s so weird bc i remember commenting something like that in like 2014 bc it was 2 years after their end and i’m glad to see the cycle continuing)
It's funny.
People are so quick to call us wrist slitters, constantly making jokes about the music we listen to.
Despite all of the harassment we go through, we still come together as one and lift each other up.
It's amazing and an honour to be apart of such a community.
No matter where someone is from, or how far away they are from one another, we still chose to help eachother.
And look,
It doesn't matter if you're a maggot, apart of the clique, a Killjoy, or if you never shout never.
The comments on this video alone show how strong we all are as one.
So stay strong guys, we've already come so far.
The clique is just
we're kinda fighting rn.

Proud to be part of this

Sssssssshhhhhhhhh
We do not speak about this right now
I'm in tears. This was my go to song in 6th grade, when i was so depressed. I was moving that year, leaving my friends behind. I wasn't ready, I needed them there to keep me alive. All throughout the year they helped me through my darkest times and I helped them. I sang this song to them at karaoke at my birthday party, a few days before I moved. None of them understood, but at the end of the song I was in tears and hugging all of them. I'm gone now, but I'm happy now. I lost touch with a few of them but one of them is still around, and she is my best friend. I dream of them every night, seriously, and hold them oh so close. I love you, Kaydance, Julia, Emma, Madison, Aris, Georgia. Forever in my hearts, I hope you are all doing okay.

I was already crying and this made my tear wells completely dry up. I have been listening to falling in reverse a lot but then i just wanted to hear mama again it then led on a trail of songs that got me remembering all the shit i have just survived i then listened to this song and it literally mad me shatter to pieces. and going threw the comments i now know that i am not the only one that uses amazing bands like my chemical romance and falling in reverse to heal their bad and broken dreams. I know now that no matter what happens in life I can always turn to music. No matter what my chemical romance and falling in reverse will always complete my fucked up life. I am not ok (I Promise) this world may be ugly and mama may have turned her back. Be my detonator. teenagers scare the living shit out of me.Join the black parade. and sing.
Katelynn A. I love how poetic this fandom is. WOO KILLJOYS
BasketBall Girl Not usually like this but these bands get my blood boiling into an inferno of heat
Sometimes I imagine this as a goodbye before taking your life or dying because you're sick, other times as if Gee was singing to Bandit to be strong after he is gone and other times as if Gee was telling us to stay strong after MCR was done.The part that hit me the most the first time I heard this song was ''Never let them take the light behind your eyes'' cause I couldn't help but thinking 'What if it's already gone?'
They cannot take the light behind your eyes unless you let them, rekindle your light, you can do it, NEVER GIVE IN
Nikki silver films Film channel bandit is gerard's daughter
I want to sing this to my sister. She doesn't understand my depression, or why I want to die. I never want her to understand. Even when I'm dead and lost my fight. I never want her to feel that pain. I never want her to lose the light behind her eyes.
Edit: Still cry to this song and struggle sometimes but I'm doing better :) I'm starting college with my sister, and I'm also starting to see some light in my own eyes
Hey i know that I'm just a stranger to you but ... Please do me a favour and don't commit suicide or something. Even if you don't know it the world needs you , and there are people that will miss you . Your comment made me tear up and i don't cry nor do I tear up , don't take this the wrong way it just made me wanna do something about it . So please don't harm yourself , if you feel lonely just talk to someone close or if you are ok with it you can even talk to me ,i swear I'm not a creep I'm just trying to help . I know that this will sound stupid or silly or even creepy but i care about you even if i don't know you. That was it have a nice day , month , and life. And don't forget the world is ugly but to me (and to many others ) you are beautiful.

THATone Well, when great band ends(mcr), and another great one begins(bts)😢
So... today my cat was poisoned and died in my arms, looking in my eyes, quietly listening to the lullaby i sang just for him since he was little, i still can't believe that i won't be singing to him anymore, that we won't cuddle to sleep and he won't annoy me with his never ending meows. it hurts like hell that someone took the light behind his eyes and i won't be able to sing him to sleep and protect him anymore.
The memory flashed in mind of that night. My Halloween too died in my arms. She was in so much pain so I held her to give any comfort. The both of us fell asleep, only I woke.
All of this makes me cry :,(
💔😭
im sorry for u, are u feeling better? ;(
You'll never lose the light behind your eyes.

"Since I am bad with goodbyes, I refuse to let this be one. But I will leave you with one last thing-
My Chemical Romance is done, but it will never die. It is alive in me, the guys, and it is alive in all of you.
I always knew that, and I think you did too.
Because it is not a band, it is an idea."
-Love, Gerard

Song: *hasnt even started yet*
Me: *violent sobbing*
Massy this is honestly so true.
I lost my uncle to suicide 4 years ago. It's been 4 years and I haven't stopped grieving. I think about him everyday. His laugh is only a memory now. I remember the last hug he gave me and the last thing I said was "love you uncle Scott". The pain I feel in my heart from missing him is unimaginable. To anyone struggling with suicidal thoughts or feelings: the world needs you. You family needs you. Hell, I need you. Never let them take the light behind your eyes because it will take the light from others. Keep fighting. Your presence is irreplaceable.
Sorry for your lost.
I understand what you are going through. My grandpa died last year due to covid. I miss him every day. Mcr stopped me from killing myself. This comment made me realize that I can still be good even though he's gone. I am seriously crying. Thank you
Thank you..
"Never let them take the light behind your eyes."
They didn't.
I did.
I'm sorry for whatever happened and/ or whatever you've lost. For some reason your comment cuts deeps through my soul. I hope you're doing okay
Same.... Do you ever think the only way we are sad is because we made ourselves sad. That's what I think. I think I made myself sad
Me too tbh...I find the battle against yourself so much harder than the fight against other people. We are our own happiness and despair..
That hurts so sharp. But remember- always remember- it's never gone forever.
You will always burn as bright.
exactly.
My eyes slowly closed as I nodded my head to the music. I sat in the pews of an abandoned church, cold and alone with only a dying iPhone by my side. I should have called someone but, who was left for me to call? They all died so long ago, leaving me holding back tears. All I wanted was to join them and leave this dark world. Rejoin them in the light. My sisters last words were "never let them take the light behind your eyes". I live by that. I'll die like that in this darkened church, I'll go down in lights. A deep blue flame.
I picked up a match and lit it. The dust filled air suddenly became warm and burst to life in a gorgeous orange flame engulfing me and the church. Burning us finally into the ground. Where I finally saw my family.
STOP! It's too hauntingly beautiful. I'm already crying all of my tears out.
Where did this come from?
I was bored and I was reminded of a little story my friend made for me to this song so I wrote my own. Once again I got really bored.
Carry On thank you
Did you just pass the Grammar Nazi's a plate of dinner?
"If you promise not to cry..." WTF KINA SENTNCE IS THAT GERARD NO HUMAN CAN KEEP A DRY FACE WITH THIS SONG
E l i d i a i did not cry but only after the first 999999999999999999999999999999999 times! Lol
I didn't cry I find it's rare to find a song that makes me cry.
The last time I cried was eight years ago during an...incident. I haven't cried since because to me crying is like letting people know they got to you. That they won and beat you down. I don't people to know they got to me ever again.
sillybunny2 same.. Ive never cried to a song unless it really strikes me when im not expecting it..
To be honest, this is the most I’ve ever cried during a song. It sounds stupid, but the breakup, (and me knowing that one of the most amazing things I had ever known had ended) has me in my room, bawling over this song.
EDIT: Their songs had deep meanings and messages, and just thinking about it being gone, really hurts. I know it’s stupid
I've seen some people dedicate this song to their loved ones. So sister, this song is for you, I promise you I'll never let them take the light behind your eyes, no matter what. I'll live for you, I'll fight for you, do everything I can and I swear we'll both see better days. I love you
this reminds me of my internet best friend.she suffers from depression and has a broken family.when shes not okay i just send her this song to remind her that im always there for her.
it makes me think of my best internet friend also....she also suffered from depression. I failed her....she lost her fight in november of last year. I hope your friend doesnt lose her fight.....stay alive frens I-/
so emo i fell apart that is so sweet
maria mi reminds me of my crush (internet friend) too, she deals with a sort of depression, I hope so much I'll never lose her...
stay strong💙
Bless you. I wish I had someone like you 💞❤️
You are a good friend
This song makes me cry every single time. And when the tears are done...I feel stronger. Like I could climb a mountain if I tried. This song means so SO much to me. More than words could ever explain.
Ahh and people say they're a suicidal band? Um you sure... Cos this is beautiful.
I write arms races not fashion statements
Wait, people actually say that? 😂😂😂
What's the link between suicidal and beautiful lol
I write arms races not fashion statements I hate the stereotype that emo bands make people depressed and suicidal. They actually do quite the opposite. They make depressed people happier. It's like a drug that keeps them sane.
+@@Sebastian-of4ln
Wish the people around me understood that.
But they don't.
People talk shit on MCR way too much. They’re one of the most important rock bands in recent memory and there’s no telling how much they changed the pop rock and hard rock scene alike.
this song means everything to me
i’ve been so close to suicide so many times. this is one of those times. this song is helping me through.
thank you mcr. thank you for everything.
Are you still alive? Please tell me…
@@Schnitzelschlotz i am 🥺
This song will always hold a special place in my heart. Since I lost the woman who has been a mother to me my whole life, I've turned to music to cope. When I found this song I just relate to it so much, and every year on her birthday, and the anniversary of her death I will sing this song in memory of her. Someday I plan to do a cover of this song in honor of her, and I will always love this song.
Jai The Dinosaur i just lost my mother and my friend recommended me this song. i saw your comment and ended up crying again
Aw, I'm sorry
I'm so sorry 😔 be strong
Make the cover! You'll feel good about it.
PLEASE DO A COVER 😥
My close friend committed suicide in January. Only 15 years old. I love you brother. Rest In Peace, Crey.
I'm sorry. But you HAVE to promise me something? Please? Never let them take the light behind your eyes and never fade in the dark. Be strong and hid my hand and we can make it through this fucked up works together?
I'm so sorry for your loss 😭❤️
@@alexmmaynard2958 you're amazing
i am so sorry for your loss. stay strong and make your friend proud
Sorry grace. Rest in peace
My relationship started 3 years ago with My Chemical Romance and endet with the end of My Chemical Romance. This was my own chemical romance! My girlfriend bought me a CD friom mcr at the end of our relationship. And it all starts in my car and we listend to mcr. It was the Alpha and Omega, it was MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE!
So deep I can see Adele rolling in it
Oh -
Znicehonix get a life will ya?
Znicehonix lol
That's actually quite sad :\
* slowly adds this to my "play this at my funeral" playlist *
If this and "Cemetery Drive" do not play at my funeral, I will not die.
You know those classic and eternal bands everyone loves and listens to, no matter what age? Queen, The Ramones, The Beatles, Sex Pistols, KISS... yes. I believe in my heart with no doubt that My Chemical Romance is already in that list. I know I'll be a crazy old lady whose (probably super technologic playlist) will play every morning a MCR song to light up the sky and kill the pain. They are unique. Don't you dare saying: "Oh, MCR is done but there's TOP", "[...] but there's P!ATD", "[...] but there's FOB" because they're not even close. Just don't think that a band is fully alive by playing concerts and releasing new music, 'cause music itself is always alive, no matter time. My Chemical Romance is in the air, in our hearts, in our souls, therefore they're more alive than ever before.
FANNIE T, for me, My Chemical Romance's music is just too powerful to ever go away. I just know that I'll be listening to MCR even though they've been long gone because to me they're still alive. I mean I understand listening to other music but you can't just forget about them.
For me, Fob, Mcr and P!atD are all unique, maybe they going in the same direction of genre but they are all different and no other band can replace them :)
im crying even more
i completely agree i do like TOP and P!ATD and FOB but MCR is by far one thats been there for me as long as i can remember. they are still my favourite band.
MCR is done, but it's not over. It's alive in all of us and will never die.
I can hear what Gerard is trying to say. Even without the band (or the reference to himself in this song), he would want us to be stronger than what we were before. He wants us to carry on and keep living, stronger, better, and faster. He would never let anyone take away what is your special connection with him. Even if you had never met Gerard, he still has a connection with you. Every time you comment on one of his videos or Instagram pictures, he gets a notification. You don't think that sometimes he might go through those comments and read them and think of how much love both sides have for one another? He is so grateful of us for inspiring and staying with him through all of the ups and downs he has been through. He wants us to be as strong as he is, and eventually, as strong as he was.
+Molly Way Iero Urie Howell Lester Quinn Fuentes This is because Gerard is the MOST FREAKING INSPIRATIONAL PERSON ON THIS PLANET AND WE ALL LOVE HIM SO MUCH FOR THAT AND HIS MUSIC AND EVERYTHING HE DOES.
*violently sobbing.
Your comment is beautiful and probably true, thank you
I didn't need a heart, thanks.
+Killjoy Molly I like to listen to this song when I am at my saddest. It feels like he is saying to continue to be strong and fight through the opposing forces in your life that bring you down, never let these set backs discourage you and to hold onto hope. I particularly like the lyric "If I could be with you tonight I would sing you to sleep," because it feels like he is saying that each time we are losing the will to live he wants to be there to console us. Similar to how a mother sings their child to sleep when they are crying.
+Killjoy Molly this made my day :')
It physically hurts me that this was uploaded less than 2 months before "the day that we do not mention"

The 27th of August was a hard day for me as it marked 2 years since I found my best friend dead it has changed my life forever and i miss her every single day, this used to be our song we would listen to it all the time.
This is for you Natalie ❤❤
Oh my God I'm so sorry for your loss you are truly strong to share that and they would be proud you are still here.
He didn't make the song for her
There are no words that could describe what I am feeling for you right now. That must've been really hard. But you will always burn as bright and no one will ever take the light behind your eyes because you are strong. Best of luck to you and your family
I always tend to come back to this song when I have no hope left. Thank you gee, Mikey, frank and Ray for this life saver. I can never thank you enough for this song

I always come back to this song when I'm worried I may lose my battle with mental illness. My Chemical Romance has been with me through every breakdown for a long time and are the reason I'm still here, and this particular song has had a major effect on me.
very few things make me cry and im not ashamed to say this is one of them
Trash same here friend
The only song that makes me cry is "Cancer", from The Black Parade album
my friend killed herself yesterday....
this song's for you Alyssa

I'm so sorry :*-(
Esther Zuidland it's ok, im just going to miss her so much
Gerard Way she was brave, but she will be missed..... I just wish I could have made her feel safe and not scared when she died
Marcela Chupina I wish the same for her but it will be okay stay strong
Gerard Way thank you so much
This song was the song that was playing when I got in my car accident this April. I went over the line into the gravel and overcorrected when taking a sharp turn on the interstate which involved spinning across the lanes and landing on the roof. Glad that the light wasn't taken from behind my eyes and didn't lose my fight. I had recently been struggling a lot with mental illness and suicidal thoughts so that car accident and this song combined were definitely eye openers.
I got into a bad accident too. Back in the March of 2015. There were two fatalities and I almost lost my grandmother. We just wanted to go to the beach while my brother was still with us. My sister's birthday was the day after too. It was an awful time. I had chipped my hip. Moving it in the slightest bit was excruciatingly painful. I cried a few times because of how much it hurt. My dad came to visit with us while we recovered. I decided I'd go to church with him to make him happy. As we were leaving I almost cried in front of everyone because I had moved it accidentally. I still get cramps from moving around every once in a while. Car accidents are so traumatic. Even if you only get slightly injured you still have scars mentally. I was quite depressed at the time. I swore everything was falling apart.
WHY DID I HAVE TO FIND MCR AFTER THEY BROKE UP?!?! GAAAAAA
if it makes you feel any better i found them the day after the breakup ,,, just my luck
Me too
I feel you
trust me, it's better this way.
O know right me too!!!!!
