I don't know the true meaning of the song "Disenchanted" by My Chemical Romance.But I've heard so many different meanings.

I think this song is about the people you grow up with in High School and the things they do to hurt you, and then growing up and seeing them as regular people who didn't really amount to everything they acted like they would've. Kind of spitefully saying "Well you did this to me, and you hurt me really badly, and now I'm here and I can sing these sad songs for the world while all you can do is your sad little job."

The life long wait for a hospital stay, I think, is just life in general, in the end all coming down to a possibly triumphant, but also possibly quiet and overall "disappointing" death. Disappointing isn't the best word, but you get it.

Orginally, i heard this song was about My Chemical Romance's falling out with The Used.
but now i think that it's about some kids in high school being rebels, and causing trouble,
and end up getting hurt in one way or another.
and everyone was telling them, not to do anything bad.
but it didn't mean anything.

I think this entire song is from the point of view of the patient's father. the journey is reaching it's end, but the patient is still arguing with his father, who did all of this to show his son that life is so precious and that his life means something. "If I'm so wrong, how can you listen all night long? You never learned a goddamned thing." i think it's pretty obvious: after all this, the patient still doesn't understand.

I think the beginning verses are the father recounting his own life.

"Well I was there on the day
They sold the cause for the queen
And when the lights all went out
We watched our lives on the screen
I hate the ending myself
But it started with an alright scene

It was the roar of the crowd
that gave me heartache to sing
It was a lie when they smiled
and said "you won't feel a thing"
And as we ran from the cops
we laughed so hard it would sting"

I think "we watched our lives on the screen" means EVERYONE in the black parade, not just the father. It might be saying that all the lives they've been showing the patient this whole time were their lives.

The father is telling his son that he's disappointed in him
"You're just a sad song with nothing to say about a lifelong wait for a hospital stay. If I'm so wrong this never meant nothing to you." He's saying that the patient is still lost in self-loathing, woe-is-me bullshit. Like: I took you on this whole journey to teach you, and you still haven't learned anything son...

"Bring out the old guillotene" I think they bring out a guillotene, like: I didn't want to do this, son, but you leave me no other choice...
"Where did you run to? Where did you hide? Go find another way..."
The patient runs away, he is now feeling totally frantic and helpless: he's disappointed his dad, he realizes what an a*****e, his father says "go find another way," which I think is mocking what the patient said in "don't love you anymore", like: Yeah, go find another way! that's ALL you'll ever do! Maybe you should stop trying to find another way and try to FIX things! STOP RUNNING FROM YOUR PROBLEMS!!"

I think this is where the patient finally realizes that he's been running this whole time, and he can live with his own life and actually appreciate it. The song doesn't sound like that, but I think so because in the last song, he is finally grateful for his life, and I think this is where he learns it.

i think this song is about their fans not listening to their message just looking for things to critisise them for.so they are saying (if im so wrong how can you listen all night long)
etc. their writing from the heart and soul . listen to their message and enjoy or live your life waiting to die , as ignorent as you arrived,your choice!

this song seems, to me, to be about high school & its memories. the 1st verse basically says reliving memories

"I spent my high school career Spit on and shoved to agree" says how in high school they want you to have one opinion: everyone else's

"Well if you think that I'm wrong then this never meant nothing to you" paraphrasing: if you wont agree, then we were nothing together
