"It's Not a Fashion Statement, It's a Deathwish"
Song

"It's Not A Fashion Statement, It's A Deathwish" is the eleventh song on My Chemical Romance's second album Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge.

Trivia

This song is listed as both It's Not A Fashion Statement, It's A Fucking Deathwish and It's Not A Fashion Statement, It's A Deathwish in the album, and elsewhere as It's Not A Fashion Statement, It's A Deathwish, and fans refer to it as the latter.

The line "you get what everyone else gets: you get a lifetime" is a near-quotation from The Sandman #43 by Neil Gaiman, in which Death says "You lived what anybody gets, Bernie. You got a lifetime. No more. No less."

This song is saying that he has a friend and they are really close and his friend betrays him and he dies (emotionally or physically). Basically he is coming back to life (or out of a depression state) and he's going to get revenge and bring his friend down the way his friend did to him. But he seems to love his friend because he wants to be with him but at the same time he has to be punished.

sound similar to the Bert and gerard feud?

It may also be a reference to the emo culture, being as most of the culture is based around cutting and suicidal tendencies.
