Me: shows my mom this song.
Mom: "so this song is about someone dying, right?
Me: "yeah, the album it's from is about this guy who's dying in the hospital."
Mom: "the whole album? So you just cry the whole time?"
Me: "exactly."
Mom: "was their next album happier at least?"
Me: "their next album was about the apocalypse."
Mom: "oh..."
Me: "but it was a fun apocalypse."
Mom: "oh... okay..."
Literally a conversation I just had with my mom... I think she's worried about me.

This morning at 10:02, my grandmother lost her battle with cancer. I have always been a fan but I have listened to this song countless times in the months leading up to her death, and it has never lost its raw emotion that few understand unless they have gone through the loss themselves. I can't thank MCR enough for this gift of a song, which summed up in just 2 minute 23 seconds the unspeakable pain of loss which cannot be explained. Thank you MCR for understanding what no one else could. Thank you for letting me know I'm not alone. Thank you for giving my grandma a voice when hers no longer worked. Thank you. 

Rest in Peace Yaiya - 10 July 1950 - 2 June 2017



Wow I completely forgot I made this comment. Seems like a lifetime ago. Thank you for all your kind words and inspiring stories. Really hope everyone here managed to make peace with their losses and struggles. Life can be really shit but we carry on. hope everyone is managing as best they can during these strange times ❤️❤️❤️

"Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you"
Don't we all feel the same

[يوسف-فعخ]

My healing journey with igrotum is full of positive surprises. Its exceeding my expectations.

[gideongraves]

My son used to be a huge fan of this band. A few months ago he died of cancer and now I think I'm a little bit closer to him while listening to these songs but I just can't finish this one, it hurts too much.

The sad part is that the TOP fangirls think Cancer was written by TOP

[richardthomasmorris]

My wife, passed from complications with leukemia. Leaving me and our 2 sons behind. She loved MCR, though I never did as much, being a metal snob....but now I do. I miss you, love.

I once saw a good comment saying:
Gerard sings this like he's still fighting and Tyler sings this like he's given up.

edit 2 fucking years later cuz some of y’all don’t know how to act: yes there are a million of those comments i was simply just stating how i agree with them. not a big deal. it’s a comment section not a fucking exam.

I've only just started to listen to mcr, and I'm already a fan. It's a shame they broke up before I started to enjoy them

“Baby I’m just soggy from the chemo and counting down the days to go”

That line always gets me

[mandala]

I can't stop listening to this song, cuz my mom knew she was dying from breast cancer and I spent the last month by her side, and she told me the hardest part of everything she was going through wasn't the chemo or the radiation or the wasting away, my mom said "I don't want to leave you" and we pinkie-linked like we always did. it was our special code for when she wanted to hug me like in high school but I'd be too embarrassed for a hug, so we just did a little pinkie link. I was 26 when she died and she's always been my hero and now I've taught my daughter the pinkie link and she loves MCR too

[asscake]

Turn away
If you could get me a drink
Of water 'cause my lips are chapped and faded
Call my aunt Marie
Help her gather all my things
And bury me
In all my favorite colors
My sisters and my brothers, still
I will not kiss you
'Cause the hardest part of this
Is leaving you
Now turn away
'Cause I'm awful just to see
'Cause all my hair's abandoned all my body
All my agony
Know that I will never marry
Baby I'm just soggy from the chemo
But counting down the days to go
It just ain't living
And I just hope you know
That if you say (if you say)
Good-bye today (good-bye today)
I'd ask you to be true (I'd ask you to be true)
'Cause the hardest part of this
Is leaving you
'Cause the hardest part of this
Is leaving you

JUST BECAUSE MCRX WASN'T ALREADY EMOTION ENOUGH

[semperfinavajo]

Five years ago I was diagnosed with cancer. Listen to this song, today, hits me hard. All the friends left me alone, but my family was always there for me. These lines and tears are for all the warriors that fought against this enemy.

"Sometimes, suffering is just suffering. It doesn't make you stronger. It doesn't build character.

It only hurts"

[waspgod]

This song hits different if you knew someone who died from cancer

[angelstrawbee]

Oh don't mind me.... Just casually crying in the corner...

I recently lost my perfect 7 year old girl to cancer, she didn't even got to the chemo part, it was so quick I didn't even realize what's happening. thank you MCR for finally let me get my tears out.
