The Black Parade

[deedster]

I've GOOGL'ed myself to death and still can't find anything that explains what the group My Chemical Romance is referring to in their song The Black Parade.  Can anyone enlighten me? 

 

[Quiet Riot]

Always thought they were talking about a funeral procession from New Orleans,  everyone dressed in black but playing music and dancing.

Edit: Good interpetation of the song as awhole  http://www.lyricinterpretations.com/lookat.php/bands/My-Chemical-Romance/dfe093080cef9c7
