I mentioned last week in the Twilight article, that between the Twilight Renaissance and the My Chemical Romance reunion tour, I feel like I’m a high school freshman again.
So today, I thought we could celebrate the return of this much-loved band by creating a zodiac playlist of some of their most popular songs. And can I just say, this was an incredibly hard list to write because they have such an impressive catalog to choose from.
Read on to find out which MCR song you should listen to based on your sign. Don’t forget to check your moon and rising as well as your sun sign.
Some of these lyrics in these songs can get pretty graphic, so listener discretion is advised.
Aries – Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)
Aries are so hyperactive that it can be hard to get them to sit still. This is why they will love this high-energy song. The cardinal fire sign will experience total catharsis when they scream this song at the top of their lungs while dancing recklessly around their bedrooms. I speak from experience.
Taurus – To The End
Taureans, you all are sweet little mom friends who love to tend to your besties. But today I want to focus on your deliciously hedonistic side. This song speaks to your epicurean ideals with lyrics like “if you ever say never, too late, I’ll forget all the diamonds you ate.”
Gemini – Thank You For The Venom
This song starts off with the lyrics “Sister, I’m not much a poet but a criminal.” And while Geminis are more like poets rather than criminals, they will still love this song for its beautiful dark and poetic lyrics like “black is the kiss, the touch of a serpent sun.”
Cancer – Helena
Congrats Cancerians! You got one the most (but not THE most) iconic songs on the playlist. All of MCR’s songs are relatively emotional, but you could make the argument that this is one of their most emotional songs. This is why the highly empathetic water sign will adore it.
And yes, I know MCR has a song that is literally titled “Cancer.” But I didn’t want to make light of the subject matter. If you want to help doctors research and find a cure you can donate here.
Leo – Honey, This Mirror Isn’t Big Enough For the Two of Us
Leos get to be paired with the first song from their first album. Well, it’s the first song with lyrics. This song is technically the first song on the album. The fixed fire signs will love this self-indulgent song with its powerful and prideful energy.
Virgo – Cubicles
Virgos are the workhorses of the zodiac. So they relate heavily to this song about working in an office with a high turnover rate. They will appreciate the workplace imagery with lyrics that reference a water-cooler romance.
Libra – Welcome To The Black Parade
Cancerians may have gotten paired with a pretty iconic song, but Libras are paired with THE most recognizable MCR song ever written. The protective cardinal sign will appreciate lyrics like “will you be the savior of the broken, the beaten, and the damned.” They will also love the dualistic nature of the song since it switches from a slow to a more upbeat tempo.
Scorpio – Vampires Will Never Hurt You
Scorpios are known to be dark and broody. But because they are water signs, they tend to be quite romantic as well. And what creature of the night comes to mind when you think of broody romantic characters? Vampires of course! I can see Scorpios playing this song at their wedding.
Sagittarius – The Sharpest Lives
Sagittarians are the kind of people who will party until 3:00 am, and then contemplate the meaning of life until dawn. So I have a feeling they will relate to lyrics like, “If I crash on the couch, can I sleep in my clothes?
‘Cause I spent the night dancing, I’m drunk I suppose, if it looks like I’m laughing I’m really just asking to leave this alone.”
Capricorn – I Never Told You What I Do for a Living
Capricorns take pride in their work. You could make the argument that they are one of the hardest working signs in the zodiac. Though Virgo may contend that. So the cardinal earth sign will appreciate this song about a man who takes his rather unusual assignment very seriously.
Aquarius – This Is How I Disappear
Aquarians are known to be outsiders. And sometimes the fixed air sign even revels in their loner status. And that is just one of the reasons why they will love this song. They will be able to relate to the lyrics “and without you is how I disappear and live my life alone forever now.”
Pisces – I’m Not Okay
The mutable water sign gets paired with the song that has one of the most iconic music videos of all time. Pisces will appreciate the melancholic drama of the song. But, because of their love for nostalgia and all things retro, they will also relate to the music video’s opening monologue that mentions Audrey Hepburn and Harry Houdini.
Ophiuchus – Blood
Ophiuchus is not a real sign. And if you did not keep listening to the Welcome To The Black Parade CD after the end of “Famous Last Words,” you may have not realized that “Blood” was a real song because it was a hidden bonus track.
For the young ones out there, a CD is how we used to listen to music before the iPod. For the really young ones out there, an iPod is like a less useful version of an iPhone.
