This became more apparent when his wife filed for divorce and his music became harder than it had been and his lyrics became more personal and harsh. He played keys on one New Found Glory song and often joined them on stage during their Back to Basics tour in the spring of 2005. More recently, Dewees has announced playing keyboard on some of My Chemical Romance's new cd. When asked about "Reggie" he said that once the new MCR cd comes out, I will be touring with them and become a full blown member of MCR.
The fifth studio album titled Last Stop: Crappy Town was released June 17, 2008.

Reggie and the Full Effect Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothing has ever been any clearer
The little voice inside my head says
Finish me, I am defected
Resurrected then rejected
Born to contrast the pain
Now I think there's something wrong with me
There's something wrong with you
Follow me, fully evacuated
[Incomprehensible] incubated
My torture, no one is worthy of it
Make this work
I won't lie
But if I tell you the truth you will run
I won't try
But honestly this is so much fun
Born and then live, now you die
Repeat it, repeat it but you can't
Then you scream then you cry why me? Why me?
Yes, you're the one that we want, no denying
Follow me, fully evacuated
[Incomprehensible] incubated
My torture, no one is worthy of it
Make this work
I won't lie
But if I tell you the truth you will run
I won't try
But baby I'm having fun
Please let me explain that great thing
Violence to unblock the sun
Violence is the oldest gun
Greatness will be not monetary
Kill me to make something scary
It is a crime, it's a drug
Make the choice, make your choice
The song "F" by Reggie and the Full Effect is a rather cryptic piece, with seemingly hard-to-grasp lines and a generally dark tone. The first verse talks about a conflicted mindset, where the singer's inner voice is telling him to finish himself because he feels defected and rejected. It's interesting to note that the stanza ends with the line "there's something wrong with you," which seems like he's projecting his own self-hatred onto someone else. The next verse continues with the same pessimistic theme, with the singer saying that no one is worthy of his torture, and he needs to make it work.
The chorus, "I won't lie, but if I tell you the truth you will run. I won't try, but honestly this is so much fun," gives off a sense of apathy and resignation, with the singer admitting that he's not even going to bother trying to change the situation because he's enjoying it in some twisted way. The second part of the chorus is even more interesting, with the singer asking someone to let him explain "that great thing," and then launching into lines about violence and greatness not being 'monetary.' The ending line seems like a call to action, telling the listener to make their choice, even if it's a difficult one.
Overall, the lyrics of "F" are quite dense and ambiguous, and it's hard to pin down a specific meaning behind them. Some interpretations suggest that the song is about mental illness, suicide, or addiction, while others see it as a criticism of society's obsession with fame and power.
Line by Line Meaning
This is it
I have reached an important moment
Nothing has ever been any clearer
I am fully aware of what's happening
The little voice inside my head says
My inner thoughts are telling me
Finish me, I am defected
I am flawed and need to be done for
Resurrected then rejected
I was given another chance but it didn't work out
Born to contrast the pain
I am meant to counteract the negativity
That's how I know you're right, make no sense
Your perspective may seem irrational to me, but I trust you
Now I think there's something wrong with me
I am beginning to question my sanity
There's something wrong with you
You are not perfect either
Follow me, fully evacuated
Come after me, I have nothing left to give
[Incomprehensible] incubated
I have been sheltered and protected from the harsh world
My torture, no one is worthy of it
The pain I feel cannot be caused by anyone else
Make this work
We need to make things successful
I won't lie
I will tell the truth
But if I tell you the truth you will run
If I reveal the truth, it may be too much for you to handle
I won't try
I won't make an effort
But honestly this is so much fun
I am enjoying myself despite everything
Born and then live, now you die
Life is fleeting
Repeat it, repeat it but you can't
You keep doing the same thing but it won't work
Then you scream then you cry why me? Why me?
You question why you are the one suffering
Yes, you're the one that we want, no denying
You are the ideal person for us, we won't argue
Please let me explain that great thing
Let me tell you about this amazing idea I have
Violence to unblock the sun
We must use force to clear the way
Violence is the oldest gun
The method of force has been around forever
Greatness will be not monetary
Being great doesn't mean having money
Kill me to make something scary
The fear I bring is worth my death
It is a crime, it's a drug
This act is illegal yet addicting
Make the choice, make your choice
You have to choose which path to take
