The Hidden Story of the Black Parade: 4

This post will be about the next two songs.

Cancer
Cancer is as simple as it sounds. The Patient was diagnosed with cancer and that is what killed him in The End. He talks about the tragic last few weeks of his life "I will not kiss you. Cause the hardest part of this. Is leaving you." This line is extremely sad as it's The Patient telling his lover and family members, he won't kiss them because even though cancer isn't transferable like that, he doesn't want to kiss them in his current state. The last line is even sadder, cause it's not that The Patient is scared to die or is sad, the hardest part for him is leaving those he loves and those who love him.

House of Wolves
House of Wolves is The Parader's response to Cancer, and he is outright mad now. He thinks The Patient only feeling bad now isn't right since he was a shitty teenager. To a degree, The Parader even thinks that The Patient deserves what he is going through. During this song, he even makes fun of religion showing his blatant disrespect for The Patient. "And say what I wanna say. Tell me I'm an angel, take this to my grave. Tell me I'm a bad man, kick me like a stray. Tell me I'm an angel, take this to my grave." These lines are The Parader once again mocking The Patient saying that, The Patient says whatever he wants to, no matter the consequences. The rest of the lines are quite clear to, saying The Patient is being called an angel even though he was terrible. "I've been a bad motherfucker, tell your sister or your brothers." This line is quite clear aswell, The Patient has been a terrible person, so he should inform everyone what he has done.

The next post, we will go into more sad things that happened to The Patient.
