"Disenchanted" by My Chemical Romance WILL Depress You

[@katcallahan8161]

This song nearly didn't make the album, the bassist Mikey actually convinced the others that it was worth saving, so to speak, that there was potential to make it the song it became

[@roxnielystovar9707]

Another reason to add to the "Why I love Mikey way" list. I mean, this is definitely my fav MCR song!

[@allie4471]

It was actually said that in the middle of the night he would whisper in the other members ears "disenchanted" while they slept lmao

[@TaylorIsaBlink]

It's Literally my fav mcr's song wtf?

““Disenchanted" by My Chemical Romance WILL Depress You” you’re telling me this like it’s news

[@C-SD]

This song has always been a favorite of mine. The lyrics really resonate with me. Partially because I'm the same age group as the guys. lol The lines about your heroes selling cars on tv also made me think about the fact that as you get to adulthood the people that were your heroes have lost fame or whatever. Not just that they were trying to sell us stuff and use us for money, but that that's the only work they can get. This song is sad, for sure, but also really true. You become an adult and your heroes aren't heroes any more, they're real people.

[@abbigailcarr2725]

I interpreted it as your heroes will have started selling out for money and their art will be a shadow of what it once was

[@shikathedestroyer]

My brain must be broken. This song relaxes me.

[@KatDesign]

Same! I listen to it on repeat to fall asleep to sometimes!

[@gwynn2165]

I find this song something I wanna sleep to, but I don’t sleep with songs that use go**amn cause I’m a Christian, D*mn isn’t that bad, but with god in it, I think it’s bad. And listening to certain things while you sleep affects your thoughts.

[@kahelorange]

I was listening to a fun song before this. I saw your notification then everything went down the emo hole. This song is just sad... MCR is just SAD. BTW, that Car Radio tangent was great XD

[@ThePopSongProfessor]

Thanks!

[@THEGruesomeGabby]

MCR makes me happy! They saved my life no lie! I love them!

[@Styxlime]

Gerard is a genius. An introverted geeky genius who likes comics and cats

[@vampirefrank2451]

for some reason, this makes me love this song even more because it has meaning and yes, is may be sad but it also shows beauty and truth

It makes me feel better. Makes me feel not alone.

[@christianbraymusic]

I saw the title and laughed so hard. But this is absolutely great.

[@maximum2918]

My favourite song off the album wasn't expecting you to cover this, nice :))

[@ThePopSongProfessor]

Thank Christian!

[@DaggerXylem]

This is my favorite song of all the albums. Then it's Thank You for the Venom, and Mama.

[@leahfishwick6067]

I always felt differently about the relationship between Gerard and the audience he’s addressing in this song. Rather than being disappointed in them or feeling misunderstood as they sing the words back to him, I think “it was the roar of the crowd that gave me heartache to sing” is about the heartache he feels in seeing that so many people feel the same way that he does. That they’re “roaring” the words back at him, as if to say they understand. It hurts him that life has caused pain to so many people, the same way it has made him suffer. “And if you think that I’m wrong, this never meant nothing to you”-and if you don’t relate, then this song won’t mean anything to you. It’s for the people who do understand. Gerard has talked a lot about how deeply empathetic he is, and how he’s prone to feeling upset for others before he’s upset for himself. That’s where the basis of my interpretation comes from :)

[@The1LadyMalfoy]

Disenchanted is one of my favourite songs of all time. I've always said that there is a very specific feeling where all you want to do is cry and listen to this on repeat in bed for hours. The song is so dark but at the same time I find it oddly comforting and it got me through a lot of shit in high school

[@summertimelovely2394]

Even though their songs are sad and depressing they give me so much hope, they make me want to keep on living

[@Jonas_TGCW]

I like how this video is basically the same length as the actual song. :)

[@Swooncraft]

One of my favs, and you uploaded on my birthday years ago, too. I come back to Disenchanted on nights like this and listen to it over and over to be reminded that I'm not the only one going through tough shit, it's a little therapeutic, and the message of Famous Last Words really draws out a determination to move forward. Disenchanted was the first song I listened to after the biggest breakup of my life, after a friend died, and after surgery. It doesn't make me happy, it just helps, because I usually can't express to people on hotlines or therapists why I'm sad sometimes. This was really great, I'll check out some of your other MCR videos after some sleep.

[@vitoriarezendekurita78]

Is It weird that it's still my favorite song of the album and It makes me happy?

[@skittydelicious]

Wow thank you for explaining this song! When I listened to MCR a lot, I was pretty young and also just couldn't figure out what the songs meant. So it's really interesting to now understand what they meant by some of it. Whether I understood what they intended or not, it was still depressing to me. Thank you for saying that bit at the end of the video about the hotline. I really appreciate that. It's important.

[@LS-bf8ly]

I discovered them recently and still don't know all the words of the songs by heart, but I understand what they want to say (I guess)Like I'm obsessed...

[@Toffnm]

I always felt like the following verse was a positive one: It was the roar of the crowd that gave me heartache to sing. I wasn't planning to feel that way, but as the thousands of different voices fused into one and my carefully planned words were shouted back at me like nothing else mattered, I realized that we were all the same, nobody left out, none of us alone. It was a lie when they had smiled and said "You won't feel a thing. Go on, get up on that stage and do your job." A lie. In that moment, I felt more alive than ever before.

[@Emilie-cg2vc]

I love My Chemical Romance. I know that you think their lyrics depress people, but for me, they kind of comfort me to know that other people feel sad too, and that it's okay.

[@kittycat-se2hp]

I listen to sad songs not because it makes me happy but when I can't find anybody who understands a song can tell me I'm not alone that someone somewhere had these thaughts and write a song about so I come back because it just feels good to relate sometimes

[@esmyyt3061]

Wow thanks for making this video I freaken love mcr ;)

[@thiskidneedsmusic9441]

Songs like this actually make me happy in some ways because they show so much support and aren't afraid to address difficult topics

[@PhyrigianFlame]

This is the perfect song to lead up to as well as be a natural foil to Famous Last Words. The messages conflict each other in that Disenchanted says "things suck" while Famous Last Words fires back and says "I am not afraid to keep on living". So the message is ultimately things suck, but you can still push through. I've always loved the ending of this album because of that juxtaposition.

[@lexiwexiwoo]

This album came out after I lost my grandfather to cancer. He was the person I was closest to & it's always reminded me of that time in my life. I miss him & struggled with depression & anxiety ever since then. When I'm running on fumes remembering what I've overcome helps me a lot and I hope others who have felt this shitty darkness in their lives also realize that you're so.much stronger than you give yourself credit for.

[@theglitteriseverywhere2912]

I love this song so much. It's so sad, depressing, and just plain amazing! I know I'm, err, a lil bit late to comment this, but your breakdowns of songs are PERFECT!

[@angelamontserrat27]

My father passed away, two weeks ago for cancer, and this song makes all the sense in the world. In fact, some mcr songs makes sense now

[@christianbraymusic]

So many name drops I feel important

[@vintagehawk1613]

This art of music is incredible

[@watermelon6593]

this song can be dark and sad but somehow it comforts me i love it.

[@faith5104]

MCR just makes me so fucking emotional yet they're my favorite band.I am already depressed either way.

[@markuseavids5362]

"My Chemical Romance is a band with things to say" Wrong, they make sad songs with nothing to say.

[@veryamusic]

this song was literally the first song that truly made me cry

[@TokyoBlue587]

The Black Parade is one of my favorite albums of all time. Yes, it's depressing but in the last song, Famous Last Words, there is a very hopeful message.

[@yesmynguettouche]

At least My Chemical Romance wrote meaningful songs that saved me and a lot of other kids out there! They are my heroes!

[@aliciamurray]

Watching this has depressed me more than Disenchanted ever has.... 😂

[@dancedanceawayfrommeidontl2890]

When the song is longer then the explanation video... But only by 3 seconds

[@ThisIsNotAhnJieRen]

If you're already depressed, Disenchanted is comforting in some weird way

[@pmbfit]

I'm a Cancer guy (astrological). Trust me man, this song would become even more soooo sad, esp when you have problems with your romantic relationship (disenchanted to her/him). But keep on going guys, you can channel your angry, sadness etc in other productive ways. Life's too short to be wasted in vain.

[@kaffulatte5686]

Keep in going, I love your Videos!

[@void3381]

Now I realise what I probably felt during the mcr emo time...

Panic! at the chemical pilots yes!!!

[@nicholasheal5925]

Can you do every single song on the album... PLEASE!!!!

[@venganzaaa.64]

Disenchanted made me cry it hit close to home for me idk why but the parts "I hate the ending myself but it started with an alright scene""If Im so wrong,How can you listen all night long,Now will it matter after Im gone,Because you never learned a goddamn thing""Your just a sad song,with nothing to say,about a lifelong wait for a hospital stay,and if you think Im wrong,This never meant nothing to ya"I guess I just see the same perspective of Gerard

[@genesisparel2663]

This for me is like a dialogue of the Patient to her lover (While "I don't love you" is his lover's dialogue to him). It feels like he wants to stop her from staying because he knows it will be hard for her to live alone, carrying on: I Don't Love You (the lover): And when you go, don't ever think I made you try to stay and maybe, when you get back, I'll be off to find another way." Disenchanted: So just go. Just go. But where do you run to? Where do you go to find another way? Also: Will it matter right after I'm gone because you never learned a goddamn thing? --- this goes to show How many times he tried to push her away by him "Going" (about him, "go" as in he went in war as indicated in mama, big bad wolves, and now "go" as in surrender to cancer) like why can't she just quit urging him to stay? In I don't love you, she keeps urging him to keep fighting and not to "go". (So fix your gloves and get up, better get up while you can) (first part of i dont love you could be the time he went to war while the next verses was when he was diagnosed with cancer) Furthermore, in the chorus of disenchanted: You're just a sad song with nothing to say, about a life-long wait for a hospital stay, and if you think I'm wrong, this never meant a thing to you. - it could be implied that she is still there with him despite his worsening condition and he hates to see her in pain because of her still hoping that somehow, he will make it and stay when he knows it will be a miracle for that to happen. what a bummer it is to know you will die and realize nothing really matters, losing the way you perceive things from Seeing your idols as just capitalists to seeing her lover silently hoping for the best (which is metaphorically speaking, a "Sad Song"). Nothing she could say can stop him going home, and she knows it (Yes, it echoes to the Famous last words, which is the last conversation between them as he face death), hence her just being there, silent (A Sad Song with Nothing to Say is how he puts it describing her Silently Hoping He will win the fight against cancer). As he contemplates his life, he felt disenchanted of how it went, hence the title.

[@hadar675]

Although, i dont think this song is 100% depressing " it was the roar of the crowed that give me heartach to sing" or " ans when we ran from the cops we laughed so hard it would sting " even tho tho the ptiant in the this point is sad and depressed and " disenchented" i think those are the point where he is still.kinda enchented and nostalgic even. " it was the roar of the crowd that gave me heartache to sing" that os a very strong line and it's not negative. He wanted to sing and speak out and express himself .

[@slek27]

I don't think he's talking to the listeners, I think he's talking to himself and reflecting back on his life, but anyways this song played back to back with famous last words makes me ball my eyes out with tears of sorrow and then tears of hope.

[@destinypatino3084]

My chem is really a trip in existentialism. They hate society and its predispositions on values and choices. They also keep this idea that sooner or later we all die; either is by our own doing or someone else’s and their journey of finding their purpose through this fan base and and music making business. Existentialism is really in almost everything they do and its really interesting to take in.

You can also view this as a relationship breaking down.

[@mrsmith6163]

As a socialist I like disenchanted as it reduces my too high naive levels of idealism, I see it as Semi-ironic, too often life bursts my naive agnostic Christian-socialism, and this song gives my life greater meaning in the true free market dog eat dog society that even the best socialist societies can ever be, as of the way humanity and life itself is, I find this song illuminating, and when paired with a idealistic spirit helps me cope better with life, repairing my burst balloons, still being idealistic, but understanding the brutalness of life,

[@erinluciel6599]

You don't say, talk about Cancer. Just kidding, MCR in general is sad and all the songs they have made. I just feel something about this band, Gerard sings a song with sentiment, you can feel it, the pain, the emotion, the way he does it and it's so meaningful and deep to me. They're a good band I must say and I just miss them.

[@Cozyboydontchill]

In one of their live performances, Garard said that this song is about dreams. Until now I couldn’t understand what he meant by that. Could anyone be kind enough to explain to me?

"I wish that MCR had listened to 1-800-273-8255 before recording Disenchanted." The problem is that Disenchanted predates 1-800-273-8255 by over ten years.

I think this song says a lot about the reason the band broke up and not wanting to be controlled by record labels and the music industry
