My Way Home Is Through You
My Chemical Romance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tear apart all of my insides
When they rifle in
Mom and Dad think you'll be saved
They never had the time
They gonna medicate your lives
You were always born a crime
Can't find my way home
But it's through you and I know
What I'll do
Just to get back in her arms
Can't find my way home
But it's through you and I know
What I'll do
Just to get back in her er er er er
Among us, you'll find seven different shades of shit
So what's your favorite color, punk?
You wanna hold my hand
Could you sign this photograph
'cause I'm your biggest fan
Would you leave me lyin' here?
Well I'm here to pay a compliment
And sing about the government
Oxycontin genocide
Adolescent suicide
Give me my sincerity
Don't give a fuck about a Kennedy
Here's what I got to say:
Can't find my way home
But it's through you and I know
What I'll do
Just to get back in her arms
Can't find my way home
But it's through you and I know
What I'll do
Just to get back in her er er er er
Whoa oh oh
Way e ay e oh
Whoa oh oh
Way e ay e oh
OWWWW
Can't find my way home
But it's through you and I know
What I'll do
Just to get back in her arms
Can't find my way home
But it's through you and I know
What I'll do
Just to get back in her arms
Can't find the way
Can't find the way
Can't find the way yay yay yay yay
Can't find the way yay yay yay yay
C'mon, Angel, don't you cry
C'mon, Angel, don't you cry
C'mon, Angel, don't you cry
C'mon, Angel, don't you cry
The lyrics to My Chemical Romance's song My Way Home Is Through You are saturated with imagery that point to themes of rebellion, disillusionment, and a desire to escape from societal expectations. The opening lines, "Gonna take off all my skin/Tear apart all of my insides/When they rifle in" suggest a violent urge for the singer to shed their identity and rebellion against the norms imposed upon them. The lines "They gonna medicate your lives/You were always born a crime/We salute you in your grave" imply a critique of the over-medication of society and a celebration of individuality that may lead to a premature death.
The chorus "Can't find my way home/But it's through you and I know/What I'll do/Just to get back in her arms" can be interpreted as a yearning to break free from the status quo and be with someone who understands the singer's unique perspective. The line "Among us, you'll find seven different shades of shit/So what's your favorite color, punk?" is a nod to punk culture's disregard for societal norms and the allusion to colors of excrement may represent a critique of the way society attempts to categorize and label individuals.
The bridge contains strong political and social messages, with references to the Oxycontin crisis and adolescent suicide. The final repetition of "C'mon, Angel, don't you cry" portrays a sense of determination to move forward despite obstacles.

Gonna take off all my skin
I'm going to reveal everything about myself
Tear apart all of my insides
I'm going to expose all of my emotions
When they rifle in
When others try to look into me
Mom and Dad think you'll be saved
Parents have high expectations, thinking you'll be saved
They never had the time
Parents didn't have the time to help or understand
They gonna medicate your lives
They're going to control your life with medications
You were always born a crime
You were born into a world that doesn't appreciate you
We salute you in your grave
We acknowledge your struggle even after death
Can't find my way home
I'm lost
But it's through you and I know
I need your help to find my way back
What I'll do
I'll do anything
Just to get back in her arms
To be with the one I love again
Among us, you'll find seven different shades of shit
In this world, there are many different types of people
So what's your favorite color, punk?
What type of person are you?
You wanna hold my hand
Do you want to support me?
Could you sign this photograph
Could you give me a memory to hold onto?
'cause I'm your biggest fan
I support and admire you
Would you leave me lyin' here?
Would you abandon me?
Well I'm here to pay a compliment
I'm here to give appreciation
And sing about the government
And expose corruption
Oxycontin genocide
A reference to the opioid epidemic
Adolescent suicide
A crisis affecting young people
Give me my sincerity
Let me be genuine
Don't give a fuck about a Kennedy
I don't care about superficial things like fame or legacy
Here's what I got to say:
Here's my message
Whoa oh oh
An expression of emotion
Way e ay e oh
A sound that adds to the song
Can't find the way yay yay yay yay
I feel lost and alone
C'mon, Angel, don't you cry
Even when I feel lost, I have someone I care about
