Song 2
My Chemical Romance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got my head checked by a jumbo jet
It wasn't easy but nothing is
Nothing is (Wahoo)
(Woohoo) When I feel heavy metal
(Woohoo) And I'm pins and I'm needles
All of the time but I'm never sure
Why I need you pleased to meet you
I got my head done when I was young
It's not my problem it's not my problem
(Woohoo) When I feel heavy metal
(Woohoo) And I'm pins and I'm needles
(Woohoo) Well, I lie and I'm easy
All of the time but I'm never
Sure why I need you pleased to meet you
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah oh, yeah
The lyrics to My Chemical Romance's song "Song 2" are at times nonsensical, but when analyzed closely, they seem to convey a message about the complexity of human emotions and relationships. The first two lines, "I got my head checked by a jumbo jet / It wasn't easy but nothing is, no" suggest a struggle or a misfortune that the singer went through, possibly a mental or emotional one. By comparing it to getting hit by a jumbo jet, the lyrics convey a sense of extreme difficulty.
The next verses are a bit more ambiguous, but they seem to suggest the singer's feeling of being overwhelmed and unsure when it comes to love and relationships. The lines "When I feel heavy metal / And I'm pins and I'm needles / Well, I lie and I'm easy all of the time / But I'm never sure why I need you" might be referring to feeling anxious or distressed whenever he's in a romantic situation, but also admitting to being drawn to it despite the uncertainty.
The chorus with the repeated "yeah, yeah" seems to be a release of emotion, either a way of expressing the confusion and frustration the singer possesses or an attempt at numbing these emotions by drowning them out with loud music. Overall, "Song 2" is a song about the complexities of the human experience and how our emotions can sometimes be a burden we cannot shake off.

I got my head checked
I've had my mental state examined for any issues
By a jumbo jet
By something massive and overwhelming
It wasn't easy
The process was difficult and challenging
But nothing is, no
But then again, nothing in life is easy
When I feel heavy metal
When I feel weighed down and burdened
And I'm pins and I'm needles
And I'm anxious and nervous
Well I lie and I'm easy all of the time
I pretend to be carefree and relaxed, but it's not true
But I'm never sure why I need you
I'm unsure why I rely on you
Pleased to meet you
A formal greeting to someone new
I got my head down
I had my head lowered in shame or defeat
When I was young
Back when I was a child or teenager
It's not my problem
It's not my responsibility or issue to handle
Yeah, yeah
An exclamation of agreement or enthusiasm
Oh, yeah
An expression of excitement or affirmation
