It centers around a character known as “the Patient,” who potentially suffered an untimely death at a young age.
The Patient is the main character from the plot behind The Black Parade. The album tells of the unhealthy Patient’s struggle for redemption after discovering that his death is fast approaching. The Patient’s story is introduced by the song “The End.” and he learns that he will die in “Dead!”. Although the Patient is made to seem he has few friends or family, he explains his anxieties of a lonely death to someone, possibly his lover, in “This Is How I Disappear”, a song about his fears. He also suffered from drug and alcohol problems, explained in “The Sharpest Lives”, a song about his substance abuse. According to the plot, death comes to one in their fondest memory, the Patient’s being of a parade he went to with his father, thus, “Welcome to the Black Parade”. In “I Don’t Love You”, it is revealed he does have a love in his life, which is followed by “House of Wolves” where he becomes scared by the sudden idea that he may in fact end up in hell. The Patient’s illness (although possibly his lover’s), cancer, is seemingly confirmed in the song “Cancer”, which is about regrets. He then writes an angered letter to his mother and is revealed to have fought in a war (possibly traumatizing him and leading to his later problems) in the song “Mama”, while he finally decides to just leave this life in “Sleep”. The training of the Patient in a military boot camp is fully clarified in “Teenagers”, a reflection of the Patient’s harsh adolescent years. In the song “Disenchanted”, the Patient is at his lowest point until he finds hope in an afterlife and declares his climactic loss of the fear of death in “Famous Last Words” where he redeems himself (now even with a possibility of ascending to heaven), bravely prepared to pass on.
