My Chemical Romance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
At every hour goes the tick-tock bang of monitors as
They stared us down when we met in the emergency room
And in our beds, I could hear you breathe with help from cold machines
Every hour, on the hour, they drew blood
Well I felt I couldn't take, another day inside this place
Starless eyes for heaven's sake, but I hear you anyway
Well I thought I heard you
Say I like you, we can get out
We don't have to stay, stay inside this place
Someday, this day, we kept falling down
Someday, this day, set the ferris wheel ablaze
You left my heart an open wound
And I love you for
This day, someday we kept falling
One day, this day all we had to keep us safe
And if we never sleep again, it would never end
Well I thought I heard you say to me
We'll go so far, far as we can
And I just can't stay, one day we'll run away
The lyrics to “This Is the Best Day Ever” by My Chemical Romance describe the desire to escape from a hostile environment, specifically from a hospital or emergency room. The first verse references the backdrop of gears and scalpels, representing the cold, sterile environment of a hospital. The tick-tock bang of monitors serves to heighten the tension and further emphasizes the clinical and oppressive nature of the space. The emergency room is described as a place where the singer and their loved one were stared down, adding to the already uncomfortable atmosphere. In this setting, the only solace is found in the sound of the other person’s breathing, even if that breathing is aided by machines.
The second verse focuses on the desire to leave this place and start anew. The singer can’t bear to spend another day in this environment, and the promise of a future together is what keeps them going. The description of starless eyes for heaven’s sake could represent the bleak outlook of the patients or the singer’s own feelings of hopelessness. However, the other person’s declaration that they want to get out gives the singer hope for escaping the oppressive setting. In the chorus, the lyrics celebrate the present moment, despite its hardships, and look forward to a brighter future. The final lines embody the idea of leaving everything behind and running as far away as possible.

And we can run, from the backdrop of these gears and scalpels
We want to escape the hospital and its machinery and operations
At every hour goes the tick-tock bang of monitors as
We can hear the constant noise of medical equipment in the background
They stared us down when we met in the emergency room
The medical personnel were scrutinizing us when we first arrived in the ER
And in our beds, I could hear you breathe with help from cold machines
We were hooked up to machines to help us breathe and stay alive
Well I felt I couldn't take, another day inside this place
The hospital was getting to us and we wanted to leave
From silent dreams we never wake, and in this promise that we'll make
We want to make a promise to each other to leave the hospital and never come back
Starless eyes for heaven's sake, but I hear you anyway
Our eyes may be dull, but we can still hear each other and communicate our desires to escape the hospital
Well I thought I heard you, say I like you, we can get out
I think I heard you say that you like me and that we should escape together
We don't have to stay, stay inside this place
We have the option to leave and we should take it
Someday, this day, we kept falling down
We're struggling but we're not giving up
Someday, this day, set the ferris wheel ablaze
We're excited for the future and the adventures it may hold
You left my heart an open wound
You've left me vulnerable and in love with you
And I love you for
I love you for everything you are and everything you do
This day, someday we kept falling
We've been struggling for a while but we're still holding on
One day, this day all we had to keep us safe
This day is what kept us going and safe
And if we never sleep again, it would never end
If we're always together, we'll never have to face the hospital alone again
Well I thought I heard you say to me
I think I heard you say that we can run away and start a new life together
We'll go so far, far as we can
We'll go on adventures and explore the world together
And I just can't stay, one day we'll run away
I can't stay in the hospital any longer, and we need to plan to escape as soon as possible

Well I was there on the day
They sold the cause for the queen,
And when the lights all went out
We watched our lives on the screen
I hate the ending myself,
But it started with an alright scene
It was the roar of the crowd
That gave me heartache to sing
It was a lie when they smiled
And said, you won't feel a thing
And as we ran from the cops
We laughed so hard it would sting
Yeah yeah, oh
If I'm so wrong (so wrong, so wrong)
How can you listen all night long? (night long, night long)
Now will it matter after I'm gone?
Because you never learn a goddamn thing
You're just a sad song with nothing to say
About a life long wait for a hospital stay
And if you think that I'm wrong,
This never meant nothing to ya
I spent my high school career
Spit on and shoved to agree
So I could watch all my heroes
Sell a car on TV
Bring out the old guillotine
We'll show 'em what we all mean
Yeah yeah, oh
If I'm so wrong (so wrong, so wrong)
How can you listen all night long? (night long, night long)
Now will it matter long after I'm gone?
Because you never learn a goddamn thing
You're just a sad song with nothing to say
About a life long wait for a hospital stay
And if you think that I'm wrong,
This never meant nothing to ya
So go, go away, just go, run away
But where did you run to, and where did you hide?
Go find another way, price you pay
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
You're just a sad song with nothing to say
About a life long wait for a hospital stay
And if you think that I'm wrong,
This never meant nothing to ya
You're just a sad song with nothing to say
About a life long wait for a hospital stay
And if you think that I'm wrong,
This never meant nothing to ya
At all, at all, at all, at all

About a life-long wait for a hospital stay
And if you think that I'm wrong
This never meant nothing to you
At all, at all
At all, at all
