[edit] Meaning
There are many debated theories to the meaning of Cemetery Drive. The most popular one being that the song is about adultery, the tale of a woman who has been cheating on her husband ("So I won't stop dying, won't stop lying"), and can no longer stand the pain of keeping it a secret. She takes her own life ("They found you on the bathroom floor/[...]Singing songs that make you slit your wrist/It isn't that much fun, staring down a loaded gun").
A second, more personal theory is that the song was written about a friend of Gerard and Mikey's, who committed suicide just days before MCR left for their first tour. She allegedly shot herself in her bathroom, and Gerard wrote this song about her while he was grieving.
If you were to hear the song in karaoke/voice cancellation mode in some programs,when the line " Back home,off the run" starts,you'd hear 'Don't do it,don't do it' repeating several times, and then 'Are you there at all,do you care at all?' which repeats,too,till the start of " ...always want me for?"
