About 'Our Lady Of Sorrows'

'Our Lady Of Sorrows' is a song from first My Chemical Romance's record called 'I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love' which was released in 2002. It's track #5 on the record.

This songs is about friendship.

"Stand up fucking tall, dont let them see your back And take my fucking hand and never be afraid again"
That's obviously about all the ass holes that are out to get you, but if you have your friends and stuff, you'll be alright and get through whatever is vexing you.

There is a live version of this song, and Gerard says something like:
"You probably came with your best friend, or one of your best friends... I want you to turn to that mother fucker, grab him by the throat and say 'Your my best fucking friend, and I would die for you!'"
(From imnotokay.net)

For me, it's a true punk song. Its melody and voice perfectly suits to punk music.

Lyrics

We could be perfect one last night
And die like star-crossed lovers when we fight
And we can settle this affair
If you would shed your yellow take my hand
And then we'll solve the mystery of laceration gravity
This riddle of revenge please understand it has to be this way and

Stand up fucking tall
Don't let them see your back
Take my fucking hand
and never be afraid again

We've only got one chance to put this at an end
and cross the patron saint of switchblade fights
You said we're not celebrities, we spark and fade, they die by threes
I'll make you understand and you can trade me for an apparition

Stand up fucking tall
Don't let them see your back
Take my fucking hand
and never...

Trust, you said
Who put the words in your head
Oh how wrong we were to think
That immortality meant never dying

Stand
Take my fucking hand
Take my fucking...
Stand up fucking tall
Don't let them see your back
Take my fucking hand
and never be afraid again

Just because my hands around your throat!
