* [[Concept Album]]
* [[Crapsack World]]
Line 42 ⟶ 40:
* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: Several songs imply that the Patient was a soldier, and is still haunted by it.
* [[Dem Bones]]
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: The WTTBP music video set looked very eerily like Ground Zero.
* [[The End]]: Song one.
* [[Enforced Method Acting]]: The part where Bob Bryar's pants catch on fire at the end of the 'Famous Last Words' music video was ''not'' deliberate.
* [[Harsher in Hindsight]]: "Dead!" is a hilarious and upbeat song with many a [[Actually Pretty Funny|clever]] [[Brutal Honesty|insult]] to someone soon to be dead... [[Dude, Not Funny|then you remember that the album is about]] [[Unacceptable Targets|a terminally ill cancer patient.]]
** [[Kick Them While They Are Down|"No one ever had much nice to say; I think they never liked you anyway"]]
** However, most of the songs seem to be from the dying patient's perspective. The context of these lyrics is different of the patient is saying these things to himself. If you look at it that way, it's much sadder, as it sounds like he's trying to tell himself that he sucked in life and convince himself that nobody should miss him too much when he's gone.
* [[Hidden Track]]: "Blood."
* [[Large Ham]]: This album isn't so much "over the top" as it is "not on the planet any more". For example, not even a minute and a half into the album, Gerard Way sounds like he has a seizure with the lyric "when I grow up, I want to be '''''NOTHING AT ALL!'''''"
* [[Last

* [[No Name Given]]: The Patient.
* [[Rock Opera]]
* [[Shout
** "The End" = [[Pink Floyd
** [[The Beatles (
* [[Tall Poppy Syndrome]]: MCR was criticized for attempting to rise above their station with this album, as it was apparently ''too good''.
* [[Teens Are Monsters]]: Track 11 - "teenagers SCARE - the livin' SHIT outta me"
* [[War Is Hell]]: "Mama."
* [[What Do You Mean
* [[Wild Mass Guessing]]: The mysterious way in which the band began promoting the album led to this, resulting in a forest of [[Epileptic Trees]].
* [[Your Days Are Numbered]]: The second track states that the Patient has "maybe just two weeks to live".
