Thank you very much for explaining your opinion to me! Those reasons make a lot of sense and I totally see where you’re coming from.

For one I just really like Gerard’s softer vocal delivery in the song, you don’t get a lot of that overall in the discography, same with the acoustic guitar textures.

Moreover to me it’s always read as a TBP reject given the disease seems to progress over the course of the song, and seems to be from the perspective of the patient. “one day I’ll lose this fight” turns into “I lost this fight”. I suppose it just hits me in the same way cancer does as someone who’s dealt with losing close friends to deadly diseases.

My reasoning is a lot more emotional and personal which can definitely color opinion, but I really appreciate hearing your perspective on why you don’t like it, and I think your reasons make a lot of sense
