"Vampires Will Never Hurt You" is the second single and third track from My Chemical Romance's debut album, I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love.
[edit] Music video
The music video consists of My Chemical Romance tightly packed into a room where they play their instruments in very little color. In the video, Frank Iero is seen with dreadlocks and singing backup for Gerard along with lead guitar player Ray Toro, who has short hair compared to the present where he has his hair long. Gerard has said this song and Headfirst For Halos are the two most important tracks on the album. Though the video was shown at the record release show for My Chemical Romance's first album (as apparent by the circulating recording), it was only officially released when the album I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love was re-released in 2005. The re-release included this music video, as well as the one for "Honey, This Mirror Isn't Big Enough for the Two of Us". The re-release also had an Eyeball Records CD included along with it.
[edit] Meaning
The meaning of the song's lyrics was explained by the band as a metaphoric critique to society. The "vampires" represent the greedy and ambitious human beings. In the concept story, though, this song is the part where vampires take over the town that the two main characters live in. Gerard has said that he used vampires as a metaphor for people who want to use others for their own gain. He went on to say that there is always something about the living dead which will make people clinically depressed.
