How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

“Headfirst for Halos” is a song about suicide and depression. Behind the skillful guitar, vocals, and drums, there is extreme meaning. When MCR first made this song, they didn’t really take it as seriously as the other songs. They decided that it would be a healthy challenge to try and pull the song off, after they realized how much meaning it held. Now, it is an all-time favorite from their first album, I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love.
