Best Answer

It's a concept album that's supposed to tell a story that starts with a man dying (named 'the Patient'). It follows him as he remembers his life and thinks about his death and so on. It's called the Black Parade because some people have funeral processions, and processions are associated with parades (I think).

Why did Gerard Way write Welcome to the Black Parade?

Gerard has a theory about death. He thinks that when someone dies, death comes to them as one of their favorite memories. The song is telling a story of a man who died at a tragically young age and death came to him as a parade because his fondest memory was going to a parade with his father when he was younger. The parade is called the black parade because it is representing death.


What is the meaning of the song the black parade by your chemical romance?

It tells the story of a character name 'the patient' and his journey of love,death and memoriesthat's true, it also is about 'the patient' finally moving onto death, and his transition to that place is 'a parade' because that is his best memory as a child (going to see a marching band with his father). In the "Welcome to the Black Parade" video you can see that transition, and the band is the parade.

How did My Chemical Romance choose their album names?

I'm unsure about I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love but Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge & The Black Parade were named for the concepts the albums took on. When it was first written, Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge was intended to tell the story of a man and woman separated by death in a gunfight. The man was told by the Devil that he could be with his lover again if he brought him the souls of 1000 evil men. Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge was the name Gerard Way chose for that story. The Black Parade was named for the band's alter ego when the album was first released. For the shows, MCR embodied a different band (the uniforms, Gerard's hair, the other characters such as the Patient, Mother War etc.) and The Black Parade was the name of this alter ego. The Patient, while dying in a hospital, sees death coming for him in the form of a black parade. This stuff has been said in numerous interviews that can be found on YouTube.\ I think I heard something about one of them (I think it was Mikey) saying something about it being the "danger days" that they were in now, because they had just gotten rid of the album they were working on and were starting over. And them the "True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys" part of the title came from it being about the Killjoys. That part is pretty self explanatory.
