Vampires Will Never Hurt You
Drowning Lessons
Our Lady of Sorrows

Song is about sucking dick for cocaine (Gerards own words)
About how the demolition man chooses drugs over the demolition woman
Cocaine is usually done off of a mirror hence the name
Song is about their relationship and how their emotionally attached to each other and use each other for sex and drugs
The demolition lovers get attacked by vampires
The song talks about how the Demo Man would die for the Demo woman and even get turned into a vampire but she wouldn't do the same or even provide the bare minimum of a relationship
He tells her to kill him if he gets turned
They never play this song live cause it's CURSEDDDD
Songs about the demo man telling the demo woman to leave her husband and them sneaking behind his back
He keeps asking her to marry him but she wont
Heavy foreshadowing into the next albums story
Song is about Friendship and protecting the people you care about shows how protective the Demo man is of the people he cares about and how he would die for them and how a lot of them wouldn't do the same
Lot of religious imagery in this song and talks about how the demo man had a traumatic childhood involving religion
Also talks about how he was abused as a child and the cycle of abuse where he cant get away from those types of relationships
“You probably came here with your best friend or one of your best friends, i want you to turn to that motherfucker, and grab them by the throat and say ‘your my best fucking friend, and I would die for you’” -Gerard Way before playing this song live
Song is about suicide thats pretty much it thats kinda the whole song
Shows how the demo man has a lot of struggles with self harm and sucide and how he uses drugs to escape from his life and is always on some substance
My favorite song off this album i want a tattoo based on this song
Skylines and Turnstiles
Early Sunsets Over Monroeville
This is the Best Day Ever
Cubicles
Demolition Lovers
First song they ever made
About 9/11
Not important to the timeline
Demo Woman gets bitten by a vampire and the Demo Man debates killing her to put her out of her misery
He has to kill a lot of other people he cares about
He ultimately decides to not kill her
He also considers just letting her turn into a vampire as well because even though he won't admit it he knows she's just using him, and he knows that even if he saves her, she won't ever love him the way he loves her
Written one day before recording the album
Gerard got the idea while driving to get donuts
The demo man takes the freshly bitten woman to the hospital he stays with her
Since the crazy vampire attacks the hospital can't do much and the Demo man start doing excessive drugs and start to hallucinate and hear promises of release from the hospital believing that it will be the best day ever when they do
A quiet nerdy creepy guy has a crush on a woman who works two cubicles down from him but he never talks to her
He writes her love letters but never gives them to her
She leaves her job and the man believes that nobody will be able to fill her place
He believes that he's gonna die alone
The demo man tries to show the woman how much he loves her in hopes that she’ll marry him and love him the same way
They die in a hail of bullets after running from drug lords/vampires
He still doesn't know that she never left her husband
The woman goes to heaven and the man goes to hell
