Early Sunsets Over Monroeville


 My Chemical Romance isn't my favorite band, but I this album delight me. It's not really the 'perfect' song, but I'ts really significant to me.
This song doesn't have a complex musical structure, is very simple in fact.
The lyrics are based on the song 'Dawn of the Dead'. Talks about a couple, happy with her love and the simple things, but suddenly the lyrics are about how they have to run and hide. Finally the woman is bitten. The man have the dilemma of shoot her or let her kill him.

I really like this songs. In the first part it's very relaxing and comfortably, but It's ends with a very desperate voice and death growls shouting 'But this anyone notice? But this anyone care?' that really thrill me. It's so strange think how a truly peaceful life can turn into the angst of have to shoot to the one who used to love you.
My favorite part of the song is when, in the last part it says:

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?

I think that is the perfect reflection of the absurdism, the absence of the sense in his life. The fact than the man can take that he have to shoot her weapon.  But does anyone notice there's a corpse in this bed? His corpse in fact, he is dead a priori. 'But does anyone notice this is a nonsense? If  I killed her... then why?'
He  lives in a earthly hell, and knows that is no place for him in any hell.

Maybe It's a perfect song at all.
