I am one of those who will proudly say, My Chemical Romance saved my life.
Yes, they have not been their physically, but emotionally and mentally they have. Their lyrics tell people that what you're going through, you're not alone. You can make it through. How many people stopped just because of one song that made them realize that you can make it? They may have not been their to take away the pills and razors, but their music was their to tell you what you are doing is a mistake.
Don't think about as in My Chemical Romance inspired me to say they save my life. Think of it as My Chemical Romance inspired me not give up, that suicide isn't the answer. That they inspired me to keep on living.
Musically, I'm better, I was opened to a whole new world of music. Emotionally the music helped, but I saved me, not them. The music helped give me a new view, but it was me that seeked help.
