When I first liked Danger Days, I  didn't really care for Save Yourself, but once I really listened to it (I'd always skipped it before, just because of the silence at the beginning... I assumed it wasn't important,) I realized "Wow! This song is a BOP!!"

However, even though I realized my new love of the song, I didn't realize a few things about it:

A: Gerard says "You motherf***er!" before the part where he says "The broken glass and the morning light".  I found out the hard way by listening to it on my Alexa device, and when he said that I was like "WHOA!" (I probably sound immature, but that's what comes from liking a song you THOUGHT was clean and never hearing the explicit version.)

B: The lyrics are "Get off the ledge and drop the knife, not a victim of the victim's life" not "Get on the legend trail tonight, not a victim of the victim's life".  I guess the first one makes more sense, cause he goes on to say "This ain't a room full of suicide". (Feel free to use my lyric mistake in an MCR Lyric Mistake book, but give me credit!)
