On Halloween of 2019, the band announced a comeback show in Los Angeles, California, and fans speculated that there was more to it than just a show. On November 5, three more shows were confirmed in Australia, New Zealand and Japan. On January 29, 2020, eighteen additional dates were announced in North America.
On May 12, 2022, the band released The Foundations Of Decay, solidifying their return as a band.
The World Is Ugly
My Chemical Romance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
These are their hearts but their hearts don't beat like ours
They burn 'cause they are all afraid
For every one of us, there's an army of them
But you'll never fight alone
'Cause I wanted you to know
That the world is ugly
Well are you thinking of me now (now)
These are the nights and the lights that we fade in
These are the words but the words aren't coming out
They burn 'cause they are hard to say
For every failing sun, there's a morning after
Though I'm empty when you go
I just wanted you to know
That the world is ugly
But you're beautiful to me
Are you thinking of me
Like I'm thinking of you
I would say I'm sorry, though
Though I really need to go
I just wanted you to know
I wanted you to know
I wanted you to know
I'm thinking of you every night, every day
These are the eyes and the lies of the taken
These are their hearts but their hearts don't beat like ours
They burn 'cause they are all afraid
When mine beats twice as hard
'Cause the world is ugly
But you're beautiful to me
Are you thinking of me
Like I'm thinking of you
I would say I'm sorry, though
Though I really need to go
I just wanted you to know
That the world is ugly (I just wanted you to know)
But you're beautiful to me (I just wanted you to know)
Are you thinking of me
Stop your crying, helpless feeling
Dry your eyes and start believing
There's one thing they'll never take from you
(One day, like this, we'll never be the same)
(Like ghosts in the snow)
(Like ghosts in the sun)
In "The World Is Ugly," My Chemical Romance sings about the lies and hurtful tactics used by those who have been taken or victimized. The band draws a comparison between the hearts of the taken individuals and their own by pointing out that their hearts do not beat in the same way. They are afraid and that is what causes them to burn up. The song presents the idea that there is always an army of them. Despite this idea, the singer assures the listener that they will never fight alone. The most significant message the song conveys, however, is this - the world is ugly, but amidst all the disorder and chaos, the person whom the singer addresses is beautiful.
The lyrics are about the feeling of isolation, and the love that can help overcome it. They draw a comparison between the world that is full of ugliness and darkness and the person that is beautiful to them. The "eyes" and "hearts" mentioned represent the dark and ugly world, and the "you" in the song is a beacon of hope. The lyrics suggest that we are all struggling and that we all have issues that we find hard to express, but this person's beauty makes everything worthwhile. The song provides a message to hang on to over the darkness.

Be optimistic and have faith
There's one thing they'll never take from you
There is one thing that is forever yours and can never be taken away
(And then your face, will be lost forever, we'll never be the same
This is a reminder that things can change irrevocably and we might not recognize each other afterwards
Like ghosts in the snow
A metaphor for how we might disappear from each other's lives
Like ghosts in the sun)
Another way of depicting how we might become unrecognizable to each other

LYRICS
[Verse 1]
These are the eyes and the lies of the taken
These are their hearts
But their hearts don't beat like ours
They burn because they are all afraid
For every one of us

But you'll never fight alone
'Cause I wanted you to know
[Chorus]
That the world is ugly
But you’re beautiful to me
Well are you thinking of me now?
(Now)
[Verse 2]
These are the nights
And the lights that we fade in
These are the words
But the words aren't coming out
They burn 'cause they are hard to say
For every failing sun, there's a morning after
Though, I'm empty when you go
I just wanted you to know
[Chorus]
That the world is ugly
But you're beautiful to me
Are you thinking of me
Like I'm thinking of you?
I would say I'm sorry, though
Though, I really need to go
I just wanted you to know
[Bridge]
I wanted you to know
I wanted you to know
I'm thinking of you
Every night, every day
These are the eyes
And the lies of the taken
These are their hearts
But their hearts don't beat like ours
They burn 'cause they are all afraid
But mine beats twice as hard
[Chorus]
'Cause the world is ugly
But you're beautiful to me
Are you thinking of me
Like I'm thinking of you?
I would say I'm sorry, though

(sigh) thus AZ, as Asual, this seems like for ever was seen as 1st-Assault, and Second-Selection to Form-ating G-3, since it is an, "L" to pro-jec-tio-n that seals everything, because it is not literally a reply that makes everything easy, and so much for, "Easy-Go-Ing".

There can be beautiful again, and I really need a translator for a 4-speed cowel, crowd, to caul-a, pho-ne, and seek the truth with...
