Just do what you do best and live your life. Live it for yourself, and really just fuck everybody else (с) Frankie Iero

It became apparent to me at the very least I was trying to leave a message in a bottle for my daughter, instead of making a record about being a new dad. It was more about like I want this record to be for her at 15, or whatever. And that's where the notion of 'Save yourself, I’ll hold them back' came from. Cause it's kinda like it's a song where i want her [bandit] to look back and if anything were to happen, that her dad and her uncles are like these guys that were actually kind of not necessary always Cupcakes (c) Gerard Way

Like saying 'Save Yourself, I'll Hold Them Back' doesen't necessarily mean I’m turning my back on you, it just means like, you're strong enough to do it without me (c) Gerard Way

Just to be honest, it's about being asked to constantly do a song for the fucking Twilight movie. And there's no offense to anybody involved, and it's not their fault because I'm sure they didn't want us involved, at a certain point. But other people trying to get you to do stuff. We didn’t want to do it. It just wasn't us, it's not our thing (c) Gerard Way
