Are ghosts real? It's about Gerard and Mikey's grandmother, Elena Lee Rush. Her name was Helena. He regrets it took that to get his attention. She's just in the form of a younger person.
and it hurts. ], So long and goodnight>>>>[i think when he says and if you carry on this way...so long and goodnight- i think he finally is able to except that she's dead and gone and that he'll be okay]. Source(s): ... ok if u saw the mcr movie.
The anger stage: "match you strike to incinerate the lives of everyone you know" "every heart you break", etc. She was his fire and she burns on in him. He wrote this song in honor of her.
"things are better if I stay" was said from a distance. when you lose a loved one, whether they passed away or you break up with a gf/bf, everyone is SOOOO encouraging. Rest in Peace, Elena Lee Rush, and long live MCR. She also taught him almost every talent he has: singing, drawing, etc. I believe this song starts the story of Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, in which the two lovers get in a car wreck (when both our cars collide) and this song describes all of the sadness and others. everyone is saying "oh they are in a better place" or "you were too good for him/her anyway, don't worry the right one will come". Even when their making the video Gerard says "This is kind of like reliving a really bad day." but as I listen to the song this is what I PERSONALLY get from it: for me, the song is saying "how am I exactly supposed to feel"? obviously, the womans name is helena. >.<.
All Rights Reserved. -alex. At the end of the day, the prevailing understanding is that “Helena” is indeed a tribute to Gerard Way’s late maternal grandmother. I just saw a commercial where Casper the ghost is eating. u would understand that this song was made for his grandma, and his grandmother was a big influence on his talent, now i may be wrong but i think what this song is saying, but the only way he can see her now is to die, but as he said hes not going to do that cuz of his fans, so hes saying he wants to see her but in order to do that he would have to kill himself but he wont do that so hes saying it would be better for him to just stay living till its his time, it's about Gerard and Mikey's grandmother, Elena Lee Rush (goshh..i feel really kinda intrusive,knowing the name of their grandmother :/). I know how that feels.
It's a song about loss, and surviving that loss. They even said so. })(); (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); 'Things are better if I stay' could suggest that he felt so bad about her death that he wanted to join her, ie kill himself, but then he decides not to, realises that he can still survive and says 'things are better if I stay'. How to paint, draw, Act, and sing, So obviously he would've taken it pretty hard. But apparently it was at least conceptualized before she actually passed away. Get your answers by asking now. Her name was Elena, but her friends had called her Helen.
He's looking back now regretfully, that's why he doesn't get any answers in the song. Hey there, the song Helena is about Gerard and Mikey Way's Grandmother that died. whats the meaning of the song helena by My Chemical romance?
This song is talking about Gerard's grandmother passing away. Originally Answered: what does the Lyrics of 'Helena' by 'My chemical Romance' mean?
2. a name for the most gorgeous person in the whole entire world. See me, mcr, my chemical romance, montana, cool.
Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight) this just means to me that maybe if I just say goodbye like everyone says to, it won't hurt so bad, but in reality it doesn't. He's pissed that she was so eager to die. but the truth of the matter is NO ONE wants to hear that when they are feeling all these things. Its about a violent relationship that ends up with the girl (Helena) dying, Guys its not about lovers, it is a lot more than that.
That I think she was gonna commit suicide anyway, elaborated on in other songs. It's about how mikey and gerard's grandmother changed their lives and the band's lives. Still have questions?
The song is the man mourning her "death" in Hell, wishing he could see her again and giving his goodbyes (so long and goodnight). See gorgeous, helena, is, not, a, whore, beauty, awesome.
Derp. When she pasted away, Gerard regretted not spending enough time with her in her last few years of her life.
I think it's about a girl who was suicidal and mentally ill. She kills herself, and this song is about the guy who loved her feeling angry and having to deal with the aftermath. /* TFP - lyricinterpretations */
i like to break down songs when im interpreting them so here i go: Just like the hearse you die to get in again, We are so far from you- >>>>[obviously the person's name is helena and she has died ], Burning on just like a match you strike to incinerate, The lives of everyone you know [i think this line is especially beautiful. (maybe a reference to the suicide thing w/ gerards girlfriend I've read abt...) if I have to say it, "so long and good night" is the man saying goodbye to helena, tho also I think the final time he says that, it is him finally deciding to commit suicide. How are Dems celebrating Biden's big lead? basically Gerard wrote this song sort of a theraputic way. He's says that everyone is far from her. She ignites others lives.
Thanks a lot. other references to his suicide: "like a blade you stain" meaning that she "stained" his life and he couldn't get over her death, causing the "blade" (suicide). That's what he's holding on to...Her. They change it up and say "if you carry on this way, things are better if I stay" because if she was still alive he would still think it was better just to stay on the road or wherever his career took him. I love the song, but i still don't understand what its about. “Helena” is a Tribute to “Elena Rush. and that the song is a tribute to their grandmother! is of course directed tword Elena. The second verse is about him hurting her by not being there. When she falls back in, it means Gerard finally realizes she's gone to rest, and he knows it. There are also different stories about it being about a lover that committed suicide. : Before MCR he wanted to be a cartoon artist and attended Art school in New York: He wrote his own cartoon called 'The Breakfast Monkey': The song 'Helena' is about his grandmother Elena who everyone referred to as Helen... to him she was Helena: His grandmother bought the band their first van featured in the original 'I'm not okay' video Therefore, we could say that it is a song about grief. div_id: "cf_async_" + Math.floor((Math.random() * 999999999)) The most bubbly person in the world. If you would watch Life On The Murder Scene you would know that it's about Mikey and Gerards grandmother!! The video tells the story of Helenas funeral, with Gerard conducting and not believing she's gone, and that's why she gets up to dance. I would actually appreciate if someone would point out holes in my logic so I could rethink it if necessary. is this information correct about the balrog in lord of the rings? I think depression's an obvios one (=P).
And yes this song is partially about the Ways' grandmother that died previous to the record. Song Meanings and Facts © 2020.
Does the supernatural exist?
(What's the worst that I can say? This song is a tribute to Gerard and Mikey's late grandmother. She did alot for him. According to Gerard "She has taught me everything I know" I.E. At least watch the making of Helena, it tells you everything!!!!! ], from every heart you break (heart you break)>>>>[she made such a difference in every bodies heart she met that there's a lot of people that love her and are now mourning over her], When both our cars collide?>>>>[ clearly hes trying to talk to her like if she was an angel and he just wants to be with her agian.
Well the song originally is about the loss of the lead singer's grandmother. Bargaining is not a huge theme, but 'can we pretend' reflects this to a small extent. I think that a lot of mcr's songs have more than one meaning. 3. 'Can you hear me/ Are you near me?

Other than his grandma, it's about the theme of the CD: a man and a woman (Helena) die in a car crash (when both our cars collide), except Helena doesn't really die, the man only thinks she has. she died around the time they were writing Revenge (or a little bit before that i think) and it's basically just a song in her memory. He's the hurt she sold because she helped him get out there (she sold him, basically) and now she's hurting because he's gone...Or at least he feels that way now that she's dead.
(function() { After all, the song is named after her. ], And what's the worst you take (worst you take), from every heart you break (heart you break), And like the blade you stain (blade you stain), Well I've been holding on tonight>>>> [now that shes gone its like she took a part of him away.
other references to his suicide: "like a blade you stain" meaning that she "stained" his life and he couldn't get over her death, causing the "blade" (suicide).
So they put the names together, thus creating Helena.
here they are saying she made such an impact on his life that it ...burns... and everyone knew she was an awesome person cus she would effect everybody she knew.
(Btw, when I say 'he' I don't mean Gerard necessarily, I mean the man in the song, just before we all gather to bite my head off =P Although this could be the story of him trying to get over his grandma). He's mad at her for leaving. It is the "worst thing I could say".
It's out Gerard and Mikey's dead grandmother, Helena.
It's extremely touching, I love this song so much :) T-T.
She basicly taught Gerard everything to sing, perform, paint, draw, dance, etc.
