My Chemical Romance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd sometimes stare for hours
She even poked the holes so I can breathe
She bought the last line
I'm just the worst kind of guy to argue
With what you might find
And for the last night I lie
Alright, give up, get down
It's just the hardest part of living
Alright, she wants it all to come down this time
Lost in the prescription
She's got something else in mind
Check into the hotel Bella Muerte
It gives the weak flight
It gives the blind sight
Until the cops come or by the last light
And for the last night I lie
Could I lie next to you?
Alright, give up, get down
It's just the hardest part of living
Alright, she wants it all to come down this time
Alright, give up, get down
It's just the hardest part of living
Alright, she wants it all to come down this time
Pull the plug
But I'd like to learn your name
And holding on
Well, I hope you do the same
Awww sugar
Slip into this tragedy
You've spun this chamber dry
Alright, give up, get down
It's just the hardest part of living
Alright, she wants it all to come down this time
Alright, give up, get down
It's just the hardest part of living
Alright, she wants it all to come down this time
Pull the plug
But I'd like to learn your name
And holding on
Well, I hope you do the same
Awww sugar
The Jetset Life Is Gonna Kill You by My Chemical Romance is a song about the consequences of the rockstar lifestyle. The song opens with the image of a "killing jar," used to trap and kill insects for scientific study, representing the entrapment and harm that can come from the rockstar life. The singer is drawn to this destructive lifestyle and is willing to pay the price. He imagines lying with a woman for the last night, expressing his willingness to face the consequences of his choices.
The woman in the song is seen as a siren, luring the singer into a world of drugs and alcohol. The hotel Bella Muerte, where they check in, is a metaphor for the deadly nature of their actions. The drugs give the weak flight and the blind sight, but ultimately lead to destruction. Despite this, the singer is unable to resist the pull of this lifestyle and asks the woman to "pull the plug" with him.
This song is a cautionary tale about the dangers of the rockstar lifestyle and the toll it can take on those who choose to live it. The singer is aware of the risks, but his desire for the pleasures of the lifestyle override his better judgement.

Gaze into her killing jar
Staring into the allure of a dangerous woman
I'd sometimes stare for hours
The temptation to give in to that danger can be overwhelming
She even poked the holes so I can breathe
But even when she allows me to continue living dangerously, it's still her control that allows me to do so
She bought the last line
The woman is taking control of a situation that could lead to my downfall
I'm just the worst kind of guy to argue
I'm the type who will follow her even if it means risking my life
With what you might find
I'm not sure why I'm drawn to her, but I can't resist
Lost in the prescription
The woman's control over me intensifies, and I feel like I'm under the influence of something
She's got something else in mind
I know she has other plans for me, but I'm too far gone to care
Check into the hotel Bella Muerte
She's leading me to my own destruction
It gives the weak flight
The woman's control offers a temporary escape from reality
It gives the blind sight
But it's a false sense of clarity and vision
Until the cops come or by the last light
I won't realize the danger until it's too late, and I'm either caught or literally dying
And for the last night I lie
In the end, I'll be alone with my regrets
Could I lie with you?
But even then, I'm still not sure I regret my choices
Alright, give up, get down
The realization sets in that I need to let go of this toxic situation
She wants it all to come down this time
But the woman is still in control, and she's taking me down with her
Pull the plug
It's time to cut ties and move on
But I'd like to learn your name
But even though I know it's destructive, there's still a part of me that's curious about the woman behind my downfall
And holding on
I hope that even after I let go of her, she'll still remember me
Well, I hope you do the same
I know that's wishful thinking, but I can't help it
Awww sugar
But ultimately, I know it's time to move on from this dangerous woman
Slip into this tragedy
I'll try not to let my next love interest lead me into the same danger
You've spun this chamber dry
I've dodged the bullet this time and will learn from my mistakes
