If you grew up in the early 2000's then you are no stranger to skinny jeans, heavy eyeliner, band T-shirts, and wayyyyyyy too straight hair. We as a generation had hearts that held so many emotions that we couldn't process and our biggest escape was those screaming songs about the love that we most likely hadn't experienced yet. Get ready to pull out the converse box under your bed that holds your teenage heart and waive your black flag for these 10 songs we all know you sang at the top of your lungs.
1. "Welcome to the Black Parade" — My Chemical Romance
This song was the ultimate anthem of every single goth/emo/scene kid out there!
"The anthem won't explain it
A world that sends you reeling from decimated dreams
Your misery and hate will kill us all
So paint it black and take it back, let's shout it loud and clear
Defiant to the end we hear the call
To carry on
We'll carry on"
2. "The Kill" — Thirty Seconds to Mars
Cue the waterworks, please.
"Come, break me down
Bury me, bury me
I am finished with you"
3. "Numb" — Linkin Park
RIP, Chester Bennington.
"I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
By becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you"
4. "Miss Murder" — AFI
I played this sooo many times on guitar hero.
"With just a look, they shook
And heavens bowed before him
Simply a look can break your heart
The stars that pierce the sky
He left them all behind
We’re left to wonder why
He left us all behind"
5. "Scars" — Papa Roach
This was a super angsty song!
"I tear my heart open
I sew myself shut
My weakness is
That I care too much
My scars remind us
That the past is real
I tear my heart open
Just to feel"
6. "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" — Green Day
I watched this video way too many times to count.
"My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone"
7. "Helena" — My Chemical Romance
Get your eyeliner ready!!!!
"Burning on just like a match you strike to incinerate
The lives of everyone you know
And what's the worst you take (worst you take)
From every heart you break (heart you break)
And like the blade you stain (blade you stain)
Well, I've been holding on tonight"
8. "You're So Last Summer" — Taking Back Sunday
Favorite lyrics will forever be:
"Is you could slit my throat
And with my one last gasping breath
I'd apologize for bleeding on your shirt"
9. "Saying Sorry" — Hawthorne Heights
I wish I could insert little black hearts all around this song!
"Saying goodbye, this time
The same old story
Seeing you cry
Makes me feel like saying sorry"
10. "Outside" — Staind
This will forever be one of my most favorite songs in the entire world!
