Mama - My

chemical romance
From the black parade album

Buana sae zaelani 10 IPS

 Verse 1
At the intro of the song before the vocal
Mama, we all go to Hell
there are sound of artillery bombing in the
Mama, we all go to Hell
background. implying (the one who sings)
I'm writing this letter and wishing you well
is a soldier in the trenches in WW1 because
Mama, we all go to Hell
then he write a letter to his mama that he
Oh well, now, Mama, we're all gonna die
and his comrades all going to hell because
Mama, we're all gonna die
they can die at any moment and the
Stop asking me questions, I'd hate to see you cry
condition they in are hell. Note that why
Mama, we're all gonna die
this is WW1 because in WW2 soldiers can’t
write a letter in a battlefield because they
are constantly moving between areas.
Where in WW1 the battles are fought in
trenches meaning a soldier can write a letter
while waiting for the next push to the
enemy frontline while being bombed by the
enemy artillery.
 Chorus
he also tells his mother that if their gone
And when we go, don't blame us, yeah
a.k.a dead, don’t blame them because they
We'll let the fires just bathe us, yeah
are in a war fighting for some conflict. then
You made us oh so famous
they can just let the fire just bathe us
We'll never let you go
meaning let the fire (shot) bathe them or
And when you go, don't return to me, my love
they let them be shot by a hail of bullets.
You made us so famous meaning the soldier
serving the war made famous because of
their patriotisme and willing to fight for the
country.
 Verse 2
He said to his mother that they are full of
Mama, we're all full of lies
lies meaning all the glory and bravery of the
Mama, we're meant for the flies
soldiers that was told to the home country
And right now, they're building a coffin your size
were all lies because they right now are all
Mama, we're all full of lies
about to die and scared. Meant for the flies
are a metaphor for a soldier in ww1 because
there are so many dead bodies in the
trenches or the battlefield attracts many
flies. building a coffin your size meaning
they can die at any moment because the
enemy are building a coffin for them.
 Pre-chorus
Well, mother, what the war did to my legs and to my
tongue
You should've raised a baby girl, I should've been a
better son
If you could coddle the infection, they can amputate
at once
You should've been, I could have been a better son
He also angry and hates himself because of
the war. He says to his mother that she
should just raised a baby girl because every
young male get drafted to the war. and he
complains to himself that he should have
been a better son meaning he has regret
something to his mother.
 Chorus
And when we go, don't blame us, yeah This is the same chorus but the “And when
We'll let the fires just bathe us, yeah you go, don't return to me, my love” line are
You made us oh so famous removed.
We'll never let you go
 Post - Chorus
She said, "You ain't no son of mine
For what you've done, they're gonna find
A place for you and just you mind your manners
when you go
And when you go, don't return to me, my love," that's
right
This line where his mother told him this are
probably just his imagination because he
believes that the things that he's done on the
war are unforgivable and the place for him
for his manner (deeds) are going to place fit
for it a.k.a hell.
 Verse 3
Mama, we all go to Hell Again in this line he says to his mother that
Mama, we all go to Hell they are going to hell and sarcastically says
It's really quite pleasant except for the smell the trenches are quite pleasant except for the
Mama, we all go to Hell (One, two, three, four) smell of rotten corpses. then we cut to an air
raid sirens in the background while guitar
riffs are played
 Breakdown
Mama, Mama, Mama He is then begging for his mama in amidst
Mama, Mama, Mama, Ma of air raid sounds. meaning he is about to
get bombed.
 Bridge
"And if you would call me a sweetheart
I'd maybe then sing you a song"
But there's shit that I've done with this fuck of a gun
You would cry out your eyes all along
Then there is a female voice meaning this
line are from this mother . but then we hear
him raise up and tell his mother the things
that he's done with a gun that can and would
make his mother cry.
 Outro
We're damned after all
Through fortune and flame we fall
And if you can stay, then I'll show you the way
To return from the ashes you call
We all carry on (We all carry on)
When our brothers in arms are gone (When our
brothers in arms are gone)
So raise your glass high, for tomorrow, we die
And return from the ashes you call
He is then followed by an orchestra
supposedly the field of corpses around him
of his comrades all singing in unison about
being damned together. and the line after
return from the ashes you call sounds like
war so “return from the ashes you call
(war)”. Then finally at the end we hear his
mother crying at his loss.
