My Chemical Romance band members including lead vocalist and frontman Gerard Way, lead guitarist Ray Toro, rhythm guitarist Frank Iero, and bassist Mikey Way debuted their brand new single “The Foundations of Decay” on May 12, much to the surprise of their loyal fans. “Where were you the day MCR dropped The Foundations of Decay?” one delighted fan penned in a tweet.
While the meaning of the new song is obviously open to interpretation, many die-hard MCR aficionados still believe they already have it pegged. “Thinking about how the foundations of decay is about the life, death, and rebirth of my chemical romance as a band,” one Twitter user wrote. Meanwhile, a fan account for the rock band tweeted “It’s really quite something that MCR made their comeback with a song about decay. Not about renewal, or rebirth, which might seem more obviously thematic, but the exact opposite.” Still, another fan couldn’t help but be reminded of the band’s previous work while listening to the new song. “To be honest i see elements of every mcr album in the foundations of decay (as well as the guys’ newer influences) and that is so FITTING, since the song seems to be mostly about the past of the band,” the user penned.
