"nothing is real atoms never touch each other youve never touched anything in your life" ok. well when i pet my dog he is soft and when he licks my hand it is wet and that is far more real to me than whatevers going on at an atomic level

[aropride]

what my atoms are doing is their fucking business man i'm busy trying to stop my dog from eating tissues directly out of the box

[duckbunny]

nuclei don't touch, but the nucleus is not the core of reality. reality is made of electrons dancing. reality is made of bonds.

you pet your dog and the atoms that are you brush up against the atoms that are him, and the electrons that are you press into the electrons that are him, and both of them change their movement.

electrons of course are not really particles and do not really move.

you pet your dog and the electron-orbitals of your skin overlap with the electron-orbitals of his fur, and both are changed by the contact. you are not made of little motes floating alone in a void. you are a single unfathomable chord formed of a trillion vibrations, and so is he. and the note you play is changing at every moment by what you touch and how you breathe, and so is his. and atoms do not really have edges, and to touch is to interact, and when you put your hand on your dog the universe does not know that you are separate. the song expands to hold you both.

between-songs transcript (new jersey, august 9th 2025)

this one was fun as hell. under the cut 🙏

(before this is how i disappear)

[Gerard]: New Jersey! The Black Parade is home from work! How are you tonight? It’s very nice to be here with you today. Brought to you by many different organisations, including The Ministry of Complimentary Reconditioning; and one very fine handsome gentleman here tonight, please, a round of applause, for His Grand Immortal Dictator! We are supported behind us by The Draag National Auxiliary Band. Now I ask you, New Jersey, once more, into the breach! Shall we go?! Let’s.

(before wttbp)

[Gerard]: Oh, hold on, it would appear that the mayor of Belleville, New Jersey needs to bestow a great honour. Upon The Black Parade.

[Michael Melham]: Good evening, Metlife! So sorry for the interruption, but I have a very special, and long overdue presentation to make. As you heard, my name is Michael Melham, and I’m the mayor of Belleville New Jersey! Anybody from New Jersey in the house tonight? Oh, come on! Anybody from Belleville, New Jersey in the house tonight? For those of you who don’t know, Belleville has a very storied musical history. From Connie Francis, to Frankie Vali & The Four Seasons, and to a band you may have heard of, My Chemical Romance. Belleville’s musicians have entertained millions worldwide. Their sound has shaped generations. Yet, even in our storied history in Belleville, revolutionary war soldiers, Purple Heart recipients, a Supreme Court justice, varied professional athletes; never once in the history of Belleville have we handed out a key to the city, and that changes right now! It is my distinct honour to present My Chemical Romance with the keys to their hometown, Belleville, New Jersey! It’s long overdue, and they deserve it, and Belleville couldn’t be prouder of them! Congratulations, gentlemen.

[Gerard]: Thank you, Mayor Belleville New Jersey, thank you so very much. We cannot let you leave without giving you a token from our land, Draag, [hands mayor a bundle of wheat] may the wheat never fall in your house. And one final thing, come from all the way in Draag outside the MOAT, is delicious, the wonderful, Gubrik fish, [clerk hands mayor a giant fish wrapped in a towel] come from the Gubrik River. And thank you so much. That was quite beautiful. That was good. But this fish is excellent. Okay. Oh, wait! We got one more thing to do. Let’s fucking kill some people! Get these up! Alright, get them up! Alright, you know how this one works by now, right? Red means yea, they die! Black means nay, they don’t die! What do we wanna see? Fuck yeah, New Jersey! Alright, roll! Ready! Aim! Fire!

(before famous last words)

[Gerard]: To the last, I grapple with thee; from hell’s heart, I stab at thee; for hate’s sake, I spit my last breath at thee.

B STAGE

(before skylines & turnstiles)

[Gerard]: Thank you Clarice Jensen, please make some noise for Clarice. Thank you so much. We got a really amazing group of people, everybody, just—the crew, and the other musicians helping us out, all the Auxiliary—the Draag National Auxiliary Band, that’s Kayleigh Goldsworthy and Tucker Rule. Tucker played two times tonight, ‘cause he’s in—he’s in one of our all-time favourite bands, Thursday. And please make some noise for Thursday and for Death Cab for Cutie. It’s really special, really fucking awesome, to play with bands you love. We’re My Chemical Romance from New Jersey.

(before our lady of sorrows)

[Gerard]: Fuck yeah! Thank you so much. This is truly fucking wild to be up here right now. We’re gonna play you the second song. This is the second song. It’s called “Our Lady of Sorrows”!

(before im not okay)

[Gerard]: Thank you. I don’t know, there—there’s people to thank, but there’s—I don’t think there’s gonna be a whole lotta words tonight that could fuckin’ sum it up, just, thank you, it’s amazing to be home. Seriously. I can’t bullshit my way through that, it’s fucking wild. Thank you. But I wanna thank our whole crew. They’re fucking amazing. We’re all of us together, and, just, we’re making this weird shit happen, every night with spaghetti and all kinds of stuff, and, um, we met, uh, a real cool person named Addison[/Madison?] tonight, we want this song to go out to her, and it also happens to be the number one summer jam of all time. Confirmed. Can confirm. He’s confirmin’ it.

(before the ghost of you)

[Gerard]: Fucking wild. Please make some noise for Jarrod Alexander, and please make some noise for Jamie Muhoberac, he fuckin’ played on Foundations of Decay, Muhoberac, he’s been on everything since fuckin’, Black Parade, we met on Black Parade, and did Danger Days, and, it’s just fucking amazing to be playing with these guys, and making music with them. Jamie developed this real crazy thing called ‘Pizza Parlour Mouth’ for the song “Blood”. But you have to listen real closely to hear it, it’s like, [weird trilling noise]. It’s that, right? Pizza Parlour Mouth? Alright, let’s do a song. We’re losing these guys. We’re losin’ em. [laughs] Alright, this is off Revenge. It’s spooky! Get your spooky torches up!

(before na na na)

[Gerard]: Thank you. I guess I never knew this, but the fuckin’, uh, the planes fly right over this thing, huh? I can’t hear ‘em. I can hear you guys. So, um, when we were putting this tour together there was all kinds of crazy components, the shit that you saw up there on the screen and stuff, and I had a lot of help from a director named Claire Marie Vogel, and, uh, she really fucking, was just amazing. She went above and beyond, she had all kinds of shit; rockets, bottle rockets, and, uh, we met her on the set for a video, uh, what’s the name of the video, you know, it was just supposed to like be this, whatever, short trailer thing, and then people wanted us to make it a video. Anyway, she was like, laying on the pavement, she was like an intern at the time at Warner Brothers and she shot the first shot of the video, which is, um, Showpony skating toward the camera. And, um, yeah. Fuck. It’s wild. She’s still with us. So, Claire, thank you. This one’s for you! Number two summer jam of all time!

(before deathwish)

[Gerard]: Hell yeah, thank you. Uh, please give up for the mayor of Belleville, New Jersey. We had no idea he’d prepared this really amazing thing, and he had no idea we had a fish, but it was from Draag. It was from Draag. From a lake in Draag, it’s some bullshit I made up. But he’s a real sport. And that was really fucking amazing of him. Yeah, three of us are from Belleville, New Jersey. Ray’s from Kearny, New Jersey! That’s a lot of Jersey up here. I’d say four out of the six guys up here are from New Jersey. Alright! This song is off the second record. Tres Cheers for Sweet Revenge. Let’s do this. This is the first song we wrote after Bullets.

(before boy division)

[Gerard]: [laughs] That nod Mikey just—you got the Mikey Way seal of approval. It fucking ruled. Like a fine fucking wine, you guys are. [laughs] Holy shit. Okay, let’s see, what do we got… yeah, there’s still some shit. There’s still some shit in the fridge. Oh, that’s fun. I love this one. You ready? Ready? Okay, let’s go.

(before vampires)

[Gerard]: Thank you, New Jersey. Fucking wild and amazing to be back here. Fuck. Thank you. This is our first stadium tour, and, uh, obviously it’s very big to us and very special and thank you for spending all this time with us, and your mornings, and all the other shit to be here tonight. Thank you. [at moon over the stadium] Woah, is that real? That fucking moon, it’s huge. Look at that shit. Ray always spots that shit by the way, stars, moons and stuff. I would’ve thought that thing was not real. [laughing at Frank] It just—it looks so fake! That’s how big it is here! Shit. That’s right. Uh, lived in Los Angeles too long, the moon doesn’t look like that there. That straight up looks like a special effect. Alright, we got a couple more, thank you guys so much. This is the first song we ever recorded. It’s another Bullets song. This song’s called “Vampires Will Never Hurt You”.

(before helena with intro)

[Gerard]: There was three left, not two. I thought so. Well, we played the right song. I’m feelin’ like, this might be the loudest you sing tonight. That's not my cocky bullshit, I got a feeling. I think so.

(before living on a prayer)

[Gerard]: Fuck yeah. I felt that, like, through my fucking bones and body. I know I’m not here all the time, but, I’m proud to be from New Jersey because you move to a place like LA, and you’re like, ‘I’m from the fucking East Coast. This is easier, right?’ It’s fucking not. But being from Jersey, being from, like, East Coast, New Jersey, I learned how to survive. In a place as fucked up as that. Even though I love it. Fucking Forum’s still the best venue in the world. But, uh, you need, uh, Jersey bones to survive. And in saying that, we’re gonna play you what may be the New Jersey state anthem. I think, yeah, it’s—it’s something I— really, when—whenever we—you guys have anything you wanna—you wanna say? [laughs] Frank, uh, requested this song because he saw me do it at karaoke. It was one of the only two times I did karaoke. This was the first. Let’s fucking do it. [laughs] No, I fucking love this song. You love this song.
