The tape recording at the beginning was inspired by the night terrors Gerard was having while at the Paramour Mansion. Gerard would often wake up in the middle of the night, where he would feel as if someone were around his neck, choking him. ("It feels like somebody's gripping my throat and squeezing.") The original recording creeps Frank Iero out.
here’s something to make you guys cry gerard is still talking after all the guitars come in and he’s saying something along the lines of “it feels like i’m being choked and i can’t breathe. i actually feel like i’m about to die. i try to sleep it off but i can’t.”
It's "and squeezing, and I feel like I’m being choked, and I can’t breathe, and I shake, and I convulse, and sometimes when I’m trying to sleep, and I have these, these waking, uh, dreams…"
and after the just sleep part, he was screaming wake up but it was hidden by the guitars, just like the human inside him screaming but the noise covered it
***** i m not sure if you're joking or not (my english s not good enough to feel it), but if you're not ; when i was young, that last sentence made my sad too! that's why i thought it's important to rely (repeat ?) it !
I always refer to this as my suicide song, because I was depressed beyond anything at the time and the only thing keeping me from killing myself was sleeping. It was like a temporary death I could come back from.
i love this song so much. the begging and the recordings aren't scripted, while the band was staying at a haunted mansion gerard would wake up in the middle of the night and record them. i relate to this song alot.
Nevada Gay. Here's an article partially about it: www.google.nl/amp/s/genius.com/a/how-a-haunted-mansion-influenced-my-chemical-romance-s-biggest-album-the-black-parade
Nevada Gay. And this: "This also is about the band members' experiences with sleep disorders and nightmares. Mikey had dealt with sleep disorders and night terrors as a child. The band had stayed at the Paramour mansion while recording. The mansion is known to be haunted and do some serious emotional damage to people who have stayed there. Mikey left the mansion because of this and when he did Gerard began to have night terrors. The beginning is recording he filmed in nights spent in the mansion"
Daniel Medina I find the "Wake up!" particularly chilling because it makes me think of those moments where you question whether or not this is reality and when you realize it's actually a nightmare you desperately try to wake up to get away from the horror. Additionally, where you wonder during the day if perhaps this life is just a dream and when we die we actually awaken. I also feel as though this could be applied to an event that is so terrible you tell yourself to "wake up" because it's so horrid that your in denial and believe it can't really be happening... So yeah the "wake up" section is definitely the most intense moment and sends chills down my spine as well.
+Eden Salcedo That reminded me of Kraft mac n' cheese. I'm hungry and in school. I finished my SBAC test early and I wish I was able to have breakfast.
Im 18, and have frequent night terrors. to me this song explains how "just sleep" is not that easy. and to me, "kiss me goodbye " is how I feel every night when I say goodnight to my family. I see terrible things when I am asleep, like I'm in another demension. the verse "the hardest part is letting go of your dreams" relates because due to night terrors being so damn real that it's hard to go about your life while you're awake. just my interpretation. I wish so badly they would do just one more tour..
I'm 11 and I used to have night terrors when I was a toddler for years. My mom said it really scared her and it was horrible, but I don't remember any of it. I hope you're okay.
+Melody Omalley Im twelve and have these terrors and thats when i finaly get sleep im usually just wide awake like i m now it currently 5 am where i am
You know what I love about this song? That during the bridge-end area behind the music, faintly, you can hear "Wake up!" It's like he's trapped in a nightmare filled with a cocauphany of noise and he's trying to wake up but it's being drowned out. And he can't get out. The night terrors are drowning out his need to wake up. It's so poetic.
I don't understand how this is not considered one of their best songs, its in my opinion their most well written, deep, scary, and it summarizes everything that makes mcr great
This song kinda makes me think of a suicide story. Like the voices in the persons head, they might be taking medication for that reason. Then bad things start happening in their life, things that could make them depressed and suicidal. "A drink for the horror that I'm in" that could be the person drinking the water while overdosing on pills, deciding to end it all. Then while they lie down in bed waiting for the pills to work, they start overthinking, deciding maybe this isn't a good idea at all. They tell themselves to "just sleep" over and over, but then they finally come to conclusions and decide that they can't end it. The "wake up" is them waking up and trying to get help. But they don't make it. The contents of the pills have overridden the body and the person is now dead on the floor with tears in their eyes from pleading to be saved. "I can't ever wake up" is a final tear streaming down their cheek, while the final guitar riff is their very last breath as they die
i'm literally the person who spends his free time obsessing over emo bands and crying and shit but on the outside seems like a happy person who laughs all the time and listens to happy pop music
yup... my friends really thimk that i listen to songs like jb and shawn mendes but really i dont like that music. Mcr, greenday, p!atd, FOB, and all those bands really speak to me and i really relate to most of their songs.
Don't hate on me but, just to let you all know that My Chemical Romance isn't just Gerard Way.There is Frank Iero, Mikey Way, Ray Toro, and Bob Bryar. But people just think "Oh, Hey Gerard Way and the rest of them. But really no. If you love one you need to love them all. Plus this is one of my favorite song besides "Cancer".
I'm an insomniac so listening to greatness doesn't exactly help me sleep, but its worth it. It drives away the feeling that I'm being watched at night.
The voice in the background right before he starts singing "just sleep" over and over gives me chills every single time... (I'm talking about when he says "sometimes I see flames and sometimes I see people I love dying")
I'm listening to all there songs and its 3:00 in the morning and I have a bad headache from all the crying..... I'm so pathetic..I cry over bands...ideas*
This has to be my favorite My Chemical Romance song. It really hits me. It shouldn’t be as underrated as it is but everyone who doesn’t give it credit legit is missing out on so much.
Ugh I had night terrors when I was really young. Possibly the most mysterious and haunting experiences you will ever have in your life. It's like you're paralyzed in some repeatable maze of, well, terror. Everything you never thought you were scared of comes in and makes you scared of it. I remember my mom telling me that when I had them she would try to come in to comfort me because she could hear me sobbing. I would just cower away from her and cry. I was scared to sleep for a whole year. After the night terrors wore off, themes and feelings I experienced in them would always creep back into my dreams, but I've learned to overcome them.
iasisk8er If you didn't know,it's about MCR staying at some haunted house for the night and Gerard has the same night terrors in the song.That's actually him speaking to somebody in the beginning.
Was lucky enough to meet Frank Iero tonight at an LS Dunes show. He was super cool in person and let me take a picture with him. MCR got me through so many tough times in life. This is one of my favorite mcr songs of all time. had to come back or a listen after finally meeting him tonight.
Gerard wrote this song while they were staying at the paramore mansion for recording for the black parade and he kept getting these night terrors where people who he loved where getting killed and someone was gripping his throat did anyone else get chills
"How could you cry for me? Cuz I dont feel bad about it!" I feel like they fucking teleported from 2013 to 2006 and made the songs Sleep and Disenchanted cuz the lyrics in this an Disenchanted state something that kinda relates to the split. Sleep: And through it all, How could you cry for me? Cause I dont feel bad about it!" Disenchanted: I hate the ending myself, but it started with an alright scene" WHY DO I MAKE MYSELF CRY COMMENTING THESE THINGS?!
For any of you that don't know this song is about the band's stay at the Paramour Mansion. The recordings at the beginning are Gerard with distortion to his voice. He was talking about what happened while they were there. Someone already explained this way better than I have so read their comment. Just scroll through and you'll find it.
I first heard this song at 12 and it’s got me through 10 years of shit. There’s just something incredibly raw and powerful about both the lyrics and the singing style.
NO! Not dead, never dead. The band merely.... Concluded. And even after these outstanding artists do die, everyone will remember them. They will live on in the internet, in music history, and in our hearts. In that sense, you could even call them immortal. Just as the Beatles are immortal, just as Queen is immortal. My Chemical Romance will never, ever truly die.
Great song and love how this shows the change of opinion the character of the Parader has of the Patient when he’s screaming for him to wake up. Just so good!
the first time I listened to this song, it was past 10pm and everyone was asleep. I was washing dishes and I get really paranoid when that happens. when the "JUST SLEEP" part came on I threw my headphones off of my head and couldn't stop shaking.
I always feel like this should've been at the end of the Danger Days album, because it's like the end to the adventure; you've been caught, probably about to be killed. Just sleep. The nightmare is over.
This song reminds me of my boyfriend that committed suicide and it's like he's singing this song I miss him so much and everytime I listen to this and cemetery drive I cry
0:33 sounds so familiar. it reminds me of a scene in a film where something intense is happening- like maybe a scene where the characters find out something crazy, I CANT EXPLAIN IT.
Yup. (I know this is like a year old but I feel the need to announce my allegiance to Doctor Who). Also if you didn't know the members of My Chemical Romance watch Doctor Who :)
This song gives off a very eerie vibe like at the end where Gerard screams "WAKEEEEE UPPPPP" like it's one big noise and then it fades into the guitar solo
I don't know what it is about this song but I can't believe its one of the most underrated My Chemical Romance songs!!?!!!!??!!?!!! It's sooooooooooo FRIGGIN GOOD!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH!!!!!!!! I don't know why but this song is just...I can't explain it. Its amazing and relatable in so many ways. Sorry just had to let that out.
I'm glad I found this song, man. It makes me kind of feel like I want to uncontrollably sob because I have trouble sleeping. I feel anxious, as if I'm gonna have a panic attack, when I try to sleep :/
i cried when the pictures of Gerard came up at the end because he looks so happy. I wish I can go back in time and go to every single concert, especially the last one. Too many great memories of MCR in my head. Hopefully they are all actually happy and living great lives.
it breaks my heart because I heard their songs on the radio since 2007, I never bothered to fully check out an album. I would just listen to the songs I heard from them on the radio. Now that I finally bought the black parade and love them... I will never see them live. I regret not listening to them sooner, I would have loved them.
I think this may be MCR's most underrated song. Just sooo so good.
No house of wolves is
imyourotherhalf This and Cancer always give me the feels
Agreed
*casually likes a comment from two years ago*
imyourotherhalf omg I agree

Gerard would often wake up in the middle of the night, where he would feel as if someone were around his neck, choking him. ("It feels like somebody's gripping my throat and squeezing.")

Okay now I'm determined to hear the original recording
Vincent the paramour mansion? what's that
The Paramour Mansion is a hotel in Los Angeles, California. My Chemical Romance recorded many of their songs there, including this one.
No it was frank
Leon Kuwata jesus this band is deep
here’s something to make you guys cry
gerard is still talking after all the guitars come in and he’s saying something along the lines of “it feels like i’m being choked and i can’t breathe. i actually feel like i’m about to die. i try to sleep it off but i can’t.”
bri rose thanks! i hate it!!!
o h
It's "and squeezing, and I feel like I’m being choked, and I can’t breathe, and I shake, and I convulse, and sometimes when I’m trying to sleep, and I have these, these waking, uh, dreams…"
and after the just sleep part, he was screaming wake up but it was hidden by the guitars, just like the human inside him screaming but the noise covered it

That was deep...
It was so deep it was rolling with Adele...I'm sorry.
But that is actually very true and a horrifying experience
Those high notes he hits just makes my heart sink. In the best way of course.

This has to be my favorite My Chemical Romance song. It really hits me. It shouldn’t be as underrated as it is but everyone who doesn’t give it credit legit is missing out on so much.
i feel like gee is shouting at me for not being asleep and listening to mcr even though im actually sleepy

This song is so creepy yet amazing
I have an unhealthy fixation with this song.....everytime i listen to it, I replay it 20+ times
Same here.
The 3 years that I’ve loved this song, I only just realised Gerard was screaming ‘wake up’ and now I’m extremely upset
Ugh I had night terrors when I was really young. Possibly the most mysterious and haunting experiences you will ever have in your life. It's like you're paralyzed in some repeatable maze of, well, terror. Everything you never thought you were scared of comes in and makes you scared of it. I remember my mom telling me that when I had them she would try to come in to comfort me because she could hear me sobbing. I would just cower away from her and cry. I was scared to sleep for a whole year. After the night terrors wore off, themes and feelings I experienced in them would always creep back into my dreams, but I've learned to overcome them.
Life is my repeating terror. I wish it comes to an end.
I would do anything to see them live
you can now
They literally came right to my home town and I didn’t go 😭
The beginning kills me everytime. It's so goddamn sad ;-;
I listen to this when I go to sleep
How sick are you?( me too XD )
+Péter Niczinger Im now
SAME
I think that the intro makes reference to sleep paralysis :-?
iasisk8er I am pretty sure it does. But that may just be me.
iasisk8er If you didn't know,it's about MCR staying at some haunted house for the night and Gerard has the same night terrors in the song.That's actually him speaking to somebody in the beginning.
Yeah that's what i thought too
This song is just... is just so fucking incredible
Was lucky enough to meet Frank Iero tonight at an LS Dunes show. He was super cool in person and let me take a picture with him. MCR got me through so many tough times in life. This is one of my favorite mcr songs of all time. had to come back or a listen after finally meeting him tonight.

I love that musical!
His voice is a like a knife. So good.
Many good singers have voices like weapons. Like you said, Gerard's voice is like a knife. Andy Beirsack's is like a chainsaw.
When hes screaming wake up during the guitar you can barely hear it but it gives me chills
Gerard wrote this song while they were staying at the paramore mansion for recording for the black parade and he kept getting these night terrors where people who he loved where getting killed and someone was gripping his throat did anyone else get chills
Fact: Apparently Frank was freaked out about the recording at the beginning, he's like all of us!
Whenever I feel like life is treating me wrong, I come back to this song and cry
Prob the most underrated band in the last 25 years
I used to cry at this song when i was younger lol
That is not very funny...
It's gotten to the point where I can't listen to a single MCR song without crying
I can't even think of them without crying
this poor fandom we need them back
Um...aw ❤☹
While recording the black parade at the hotel frank kept having night terrors pf people he loved dying and gee wrote this song to help him slee0
Further proof that Frerard is real!

"How could you cry for me? Cuz I dont feel bad about it!" I feel like they fucking teleported from 2013 to 2006 and made the songs Sleep and Disenchanted cuz the lyrics in this an Disenchanted state something that kinda relates to the split.
Sleep: And through it all, How could you cry for me? Cause I dont feel bad about it!"
Disenchanted: I hate the ending myself, but it started with an alright scene"
WHY DO I MAKE MYSELF CRY COMMENTING THESE THINGS?!
For any of you that don't know this song is about the band's stay at the Paramour Mansion. The recordings at the beginning are Gerard with distortion to his voice.

There’s always a mcr song for every mood or situation
No joke, when I clicked on this video, I got an ad on how to get a better sleep at night
5 year old me at 2:00am: mom can you read me another story?
Mom: 3:12
Sleep is like a Spotify free trial to death. But instead of buying a whole trial (death) we make different accounts to try it out (different nights)
the first time I listened to this song, it was past 10pm and everyone was asleep. I was washing dishes and I get really paranoid when that happens. when the "JUST SLEEP" part came on I threw my headphones off of my head and couldn't stop shaking.
This song is incredible
I always feel like this should've been at the end of the Danger Days album, because it's like the end to the adventure; you've been caught, probably about to be killed. Just sleep. The nightmare is over.
This song reminds me of my boyfriend that committed suicide and it's like he's singing this song I miss him so much and everytime I listen to this and cemetery drive I cry
Everytime I'm listening MCR songs, I would scrolling through comment section and EVERYTIME I will find amusing facts about them
0:33 sounds so familiar. it reminds me of a scene in a film where something intense is happening- like maybe a scene where the characters find out something crazy, I CANT EXPLAIN IT.
REAL
in the beginning its like he's data ghosting. any whovians out there?
AHHHH I love your comment made me soo soo soo happy (WHOVIAN FOR LIFE!!!!!!!)
This. This is perfect.
:-} yes
Yup. (I know this is like a year old but I feel the need to announce my allegiance to Doctor Who). Also if you didn't know the members of My Chemical Romance watch Doctor Who :)
Oh my god, yes! I thought I was the only one! :D
This song gives off a very eerie vibe like at the end where Gerard screams "WAKEEEEE UPPPPP" like it's one big noise and then it fades into the guitar solo
Does anyone else not really like the beginning with the whole "There are these terrors..." and such but LOVE this song?
That's fine! I dunno, I guess it just makes me feel bad or weird or something :P Love this song tho
Wake upppppp! It's not cancer. It's not seizures. You're not sick, your sick of love.
Wake upppppp!!!
Masterpiece
I guess for me, this trumps The Black Parade.... It's like a war inside his head, convincing him to sleep, but inside screaming wake up
Still listening
Why do I keep forgetting about this song? This is amazing! I don't know if we're ever gonna see an album quite like The Black Parade again.
I don't know what it is about this song but I can't believe its one of the most underrated My Chemical Romance songs!!?!!!!??!!?!!! It's sooooooooooo FRIGGIN GOOD!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH!!!!!!!! I don't know why but this song is just...I can't explain it. Its amazing and relatable in so many ways. Sorry just had to let that out.
The 30-45 seconds of screaming is me internally
I'm glad I found this song, man. It makes me kind of feel like I want to uncontrollably sob because I have trouble sleeping. I feel anxious, as if I'm gonna have a panic attack, when I try to sleep :/
The chorus is always dissonant, but it’s so soothing too?
i cried when the pictures of Gerard came up at the end because he looks so happy. I wish I can go back in time and go to every single concert, especially the last one. Too many great memories of MCR in my head. Hopefully they are all actually happy and living great lives.
it breaks my heart because I heard their songs on the radio since 2007, I never bothered to fully check out an album. I would just listen to the songs I heard from them on the radio. Now that I finally bought the black parade and love them... I will never see them live. I regret not listening to them sooner, I would have loved them.
Saaaaame
:( its so heartbreaking
i feel you
same here, man. I feel ya
I feel that on a major level but we are hopefully given the circumstances will be able to see them again so I geuss it's not all to late.
i have night terrors alot and this song really makes me feel like im not alone, this has helped me alot. Thank you mcr
pls i want mcr to come back they r the best
Ur dream has come true
It really hits you around 3:39 when you can hear him screaming "WAKE UP" in the background like damn
3:21
*is listening at 3 in the morning*
I don't know but I think it's trying to tell me something
It's three cheers for SWEET REVENGE, Gerard. Not tyranny.
