SAVING PRIVATE RYAN (1998)

My family is with me today. They wanted to come with me. To be honest with you, I wasn’t sure how I’d feel coming back here. Every day I think about what you said to me that day on the bridge. And I’ve tried to live my life the best I could. I hope that was enough. I hope that, at least in your eyes, I’ve earned what all of you have done for me.

#mcr #TRUUUUEEEE #tbh any song that explicitly talks about how children/teens/young adults are treated like nothing more than bodies to be used in #the military industrial complex #is a win in my book #the first time i read the teenagers lyrics i was like holy shit he doesnt hate teenagers. #the people who have power hate teenagers especially now more than ever when military enrollment is at a low and more and more kids are queer #that one post i saw about the oppression of children changed me forever and now i cant stop thinking about it #i think about it every time i see military recruitment shit at college #at arcades #on buses #we're / they're (because im almost 20 and feel a bit weird saying i am a Teenager) just supposed to shut up and listen and be sacrificed #for some greater good that doesn't exist #the cruelty is the point etc etc but ALSO sorry OP ik youre australian this is a very US-centric take lmao #i mean mcr is from the US so i think the analysis makes sense but ough #they could care less as long as someone'll bleed yknow !!! #'they' in this case isnt the teens who are (often) bloodthirsty its the fucking . people in charge .. . #so darken your clothes strike a violent pose>:) they might leave you alone but not me #(i go to a trade school and have to actively try my hardest to avoid working in a military adjacent company) #so sorry for . these tags.

oh my fucking god. wow. say tha.t say that so loud.

your conventional weapons poll (part 2) sent me here. i need to talk about Gun. i need to express my shame for not liking it sooner. i used to think “as soon as i get my gun” was a boring lyric, like come on gerard, you can do better than this. I USED TO SAY GUN. WAS A SKIP. but i was so blind. the repetitive simplicity of that line IS THE POINT!! and obviously the chorus is a searing, sarcastic, heart-wrenching stand-out. CAN I BLEED ENOUGH. THEYRE TEACHING ME TO KILL, WHO’S TEACHING ME TO LOVE??? i wish we talked about it more. i wish it’d made it onto swarm tour setlists. i hope it wins the poll

NO THAT IS SO REAL AND TRUE I USED TO HATE GUN SO MUCH I SKIPPED IT EVERY TIME.

but like. obh. why did it just hit me like a TRUCK one day.

WELL IF IM OLD ENOUGH TO DIE FOR YOUR MISTAKES!!!!!!!!!!! THEN LETS GO!!!!!!!!!! CAN I BLEED ENOUGH TO FILL UP WHAT THE ENGINE TAKES!!!!!!!! WE DONT KNOW!!!!!!!!!

anyway. conweap 2 is severely underrated and gun haters dni 😤😤😤 [/hj]
