Kiss the Ring
My Chemical Romance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kill the girls
To get paid
And put the whole damn room on the edge of a blade
You'll get far
Stay clean
And the world starts believing
That the world
Can make a change
But the suicide dolls are the last ones to mate
So come hard
Stay clean
And sing songs for the damned now
Hail! Hail!
'Cause the king is gone
And if you don't stop believing
We'll keep believing
And put the record on
And live the life that you're making
Shots that your taking
So grab the cash and run
And let the suits watch each other
Kill one another
It doesn't matter if the words don't mean a thing
You're gonna kiss that ring
Well alright
Move back the walls
And keep the faith
Don't leave a dry eye left in the back of place
Is it hard
To stay clean?
And if you all keep believing
I'll keep believing
That the world
Drives the saints
And put your shotgun shells
In the hills it makes
So come hard
Stay clean
Because we don't give a damn now
Hail! Hail!
'Cause the king is gone
And if you don't stop believing
We'll keep believing
You got your letter on
And live the life that you're making
Shots that you're taking!
It doesn't matter if the words don't mean a thing
You're gonna kiss that ring
You're gonna kiss that ring!
Hail! Hail!
'Cause the king is gone
Hail! Hail!
'Cause the king is gone
Hail! Hail!
'Cause the king is gone
Hail! Hail!
'Cause the king is
The king is gone
Hail! Hail! Hail! Hail! Hail!
'Cause the king is gone!
And of you don't stop believing
We'll keep believing
You got your letter on
And live the life that you're making
Shots that you're taking!
So grab the cash and run
And let the suits watch each other
Kill one another
It doesn't matter if the words don't mean a thing
Fist up
Head down
Hail! Hail!
To the king
The lyrics of My Chemical Romance's song Kiss the Ring speaks about the struggle of life and how people try to climb up the ladder of success by any means necessary. The lyrics talk about the brutality of the world where people kill others just to get paid and stay on top. The song criticizes the world's obsession with power and money, where people have to put on a mask and pretend that they care about the greater good in order to get ahead. In the end, the lyrics suggest that people should stay true to themselves and their beliefs, even in this cruel world. The song also mentions the suicide dolls as a reference to people who have sacrificed their lives for a cause.
The chorus, "Hail! Hail! 'Cause the king is gone" suggest that the world is a better place without the corrupt and powerful ruling over everything. It encourages people to continue believing in a better world and not give up even when everything seems pointless. The song's powerful message reminds people to stay strong and focused even if everything around them is falling apart.
