Late dawns and early sunsets, just like my favourite scenes
Then holding hands and life was perfect, just like up on the screen
And the whole time while always giving
Counting your face among the living
Up and down escalators, pennies and colder fountains
Elevators and half price sales, trapped in by all these mountains
Running away and hiding with you
I never thought they'd get me here
Not knowing you changed from just one bite
I fought them all off just to hold you close and tight
But does anyone notice?
But does anyone care?
And if I had the guts to put this to your head...
But would anything matter if you're already dead?
And should I be shocked now by the last thing you said?
Before I pull this trigger,
Your eyes vacant and stained... [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/m/my_chemical_romance/early_sunsets_over_monroeville.html ]
But does anyone notice?
But does anyone care?
And if I had the guts to put this to your head...
And would anything matter if you're already dead?
And now should I be shocked by the last thing you said?
Before I pull this trigger,
Your eyes vacant and stained...
And in saying you loved me,
Made things harder at best,
And these words changing nothing
As your body remains,
And there's no room in this hell,
There's no room in the next,
And our memories defeat us,
And I'll end this direst.
But does anyone notice?
But does anyone care?
And if I had the guts to put this to your head...
But does anything matter if you're already dead?
And should I be shocked now by the last thing you said?
Before I pull this trigger,
Your eyes vacant and stained...
And in saying you loved me,
Made things harder at best,
And these words changing nothing
As your body remains,
And there's no room in this hell,
There's no room in the next,
But does anyone notice there's a corpse in this bed?
This song is written about the movie 'dawn of the dead'
this is what i think early sunsets over monroeville is about:
(first off, the mall in the movie is called monroeville mall)
late dawns and early sunsets, just like my favorite scenes
(i believe this line gives an indication that he is referencing a movie. Keywords here: dawn, "my favorite scenes")
then holding hands and life was perfect, just like up on the screen
and the whole time while always giving
counting your face among the living
Up and down escalators, pennies and colder fountains
(escalators and water fountains: found in most malls, including the one featured in dawn of the dead)
elevators and half price sales, trapped in by all these mountains
(once again he mentions objects which are found in malls: elevators, sales. The "trapped by mountains" refers to the fact that the mall was surrounded by hills and fields)
running away and hiding with you
i never thought they'd get me here
not knowing you'd change from just one bite
(as in change into a zombie from one bite)
i fought them all off just to hold you close and tight
(here is what i believes gives an indication that while it is based on dawn, it is not literal. The character who gets bitten and dies on a bed had no love affair with the person who shot him)
But does anyone notice? But does anyone care? And if i had the guts to put this to your head... But would anything matter if you're already dead? (would it matter if i shot you if you are already a zombie and therefore dead? )
and well should i be shocked now by the last thing you said? Before i pull this trigger,
your eyes vacant and stained...
But does anyone notice? But does anyone care? And if i had the guts to put this to your head... And would anything matter if you're already dead? And now should i be shocked by the last thing you said? Before i pull this trigger,
your eyes vacant and stained... (a reference to the blank lifeless stare of zombies)
and in saying you loved me,
made things harder at best,
and these words changing nothing
as your body remains,
and there's no room in this hell,
(the movie's tagline was "when there is no room left in hell, the dead will walk the earth. " still think it's not at least based on dawn? If not, you are brainless. )
there's no room in the next,
and our memories defeat us,
and i'll end this direst.
But does anyone notice? But does anyone care? And if i had the guts to put this to your head... But does anything matter if you're already dead? And should i be shocked now by the last thing you said? Before i pull this trigger,
your eyes vacant and stained... And in saying you loved me,
made things harder at best,
and these words changing nothing
as your body remains,
and there's no room in this hell,
there's no room in the next,
but does anyone notice there's a corpse in this bed? (the character roger is bitten and subsequently dies and reanimates in a bed. )

I agree with the many that say this song is about dawn of the dead. I love this song so much, along with alot of other by my chemical romance. Mcr gave me an escape when times were hard for me and i am grate full that became part of my life. So honestly it doesnt matter what movie its about to me but that fact that its saving me

My chemical romance saved my life. They were there when nobody else was, they gave me hope when i felt like giving up, their incredible fate in us, in this world, in music changed me. If i hadn't hear about gerard, frank, mickey, ray and bob i would probably be dead right now. I will never be able to thank them enough. I just hope that they are happy now. Killjoys forever.

This description is not really the meaning of the song just what its based on. I think that the song is about love changing for a person based on what they are when it shouldn't.
Unhappily i cant watch the movie "dawn of the dead" but i visit the official site and read the movie story so ,i am agree with all of u. Its a song based on the movie " dawn of the dead ". But gerard way has sing it really well . I love it.
I think it's about how hard it must be to kill your some one you love even if there were a zombie thats why he repeats it so many times it's like someone just taking it in that that they have to kill them... Well that's what i think atleast
Its a song based on the movie ''the dawn of the dead'' , a movie were a group of peope that takes refuge on a mall, but the zombies end up braking in and the humans flee to an island that was infested by zombies
