Do you have any songs where to anyone else they're just normal songs, but to you they represent some moving point in your life or something?
For me, I listened to Thank you for the Venom a lot while on a month long trip away from home on an island called Tonga. I can't listen to that song without reminising.
Also Cancer, it doesn't represent a period of my life but the fact that my dad smokes, and I don't want him to get cancer. I can't listen to that song. I'm scared of that song.
Share your experiences?

hmm...
Demolition Lovers - strong, true love even though they go through hell
To The End - strong bonds with people that will last decades
Famous Last Words - finding strenght after going through loss, heartache, and fear of living and death.
Also random:
Crossfade - So far Away: I feel this song is just how I feel everyday

Hmmm... I'm not sure if this was exactly what you meant... but a lot of the songs remind me of bitter or difficult times in my life.
I listened to 'Venom' a lot when I was going through my seperation with DH. So when I hear it now it brings up quite a few bitter memories.
I was listening to 'Demolition Lovers' when I told the girl I adored that we either had to be friends or I had to stop talking to her. It tore me apart but I needed her to stop flirting because I felt like I was being toyed with. The song still makes me weepy.
Heaven help us reminds me of the time when I was 14 and manic depressive. I just felt so alone and dead inside but I couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. I just wished that my mother would come and fix it all... ( "Someone save us! )

Headfirst for Halos reminds me of one of my best friends from before my family moved, mostly 'cause it was her favourite My Chem song and she'd start singing it whenever I mentioned the band.
I listened to Demolition Lovers a lot after I found out I was moving from my hometown of 9 years. Whenever I listen to that song now all the emotions from that time period come rushing back like a freight train.
And... That's pretty much it. Most MCR songs evoke some kind of emotion in me, but those are the two big ones.

Sharpest Of Lives, is special I guess... Since I use to drink and my friend's didn't like it... I'm glad I'm stopping...
Also, Early Days Over Monroeville kind of reminds me about my friend... He died awhile ago on Halloween...

Er--- The Desert Song, When I moved a while ago, it was like twelve o'clock at night and I was in my car with my mom and we were driving to the new house, I listened to it like sixteen times and now whenever I listen to it I think of night time and my old house.... There's quite a few more, but this is the only one I can think of right now because I really tired...

We are T h e H a p p y L a n d f i l l .
The song 'Mama'. I was with a friend in a store and she got caught shoplifting and even though I hadn't done a single thing, I was guilty by association. We were in a really small room and I felt so awful and I couldn't stop crying. So I turned on Mama and sang every word. The part where it said 'I should've been a better son', even though I'm not a boy, rang so true. Afterwards, when my mom came and picked me up, they played Mama on the loudspeaker and it fit so well. 'Mama, we all go to Hell' fit how guilty I had felt for causing her so much grief and how I was becoming something awful. It just means a lot.
Also, during 'Famous Last Words', I had an epiphany and the world just made sense for the first time. I can't really explain it. The first time I heard the song was when I saw them live and I looked at Gerard singing with such passion and I thought 'You are my hero. You're in my life for a reason.'
We are T h e B l a c k P a r a d e .

Famous Last Words. Welcome to the Black Parade. Skylines and Turnsites (sp?).
Those three make me feel like I have something worth living for, and the strength to make a difference.
The Desert Song helped save my friend's life.

Not just in songs, but recently I've realised that for soem reason, MCR has a strong link to my grandad. The first time I heard Cancer, I cried whichIneverdo.Ifyoutellanyone,I'llkillyou., I remember I was watching MTV2 to find out about the DIYMCR contest and the $2 bill concert came on. To be quite honest, everytime I saw a live video, I never thought Gee was that good, but I passed that off as he was so actively a performer that he can't possibly be expected to sound perfect, and then they played Cancer. First I was moved because his voice sounded so amazing, and I can honestly say that I've never been moved because of the beauty of someone's voice. Then midway through the first verse It just kind of hit me, like "Oh s**t. My Grandad has cancer!"
Helena, what with being about the Death of Gee and Mikey's grandmother, completely illustrates my worst fear right now.
Plus, Gee got sober on... 11th of August, right? That's my Grandad's birthday (also the day I was due to be born).
There are other songs that mean things to me, but last night those all just kind of slapped me in the face.
EDIT: Last night, I also kind of realised that maybe the reason that Bullets is my favourite album is because it kind of represents me. It's hard to explain, but it just fits.

The whole Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge album, especially the songs "Cemetary Drive" and "The Jetset Life Is Gonna Kill You" reminds me of this terrible trip my family took to Quebec one summer. It was awful, all the worst things kept happening - our car broke down, my mom's wallet got stolen, my parents were fighting all the time...just stuff like that. It also felt like we were always in the car, and being in the car for long periods of time gives me headaches. During that trip all I was listening to was Three Cheers, and it made me feel better on that trip.
Cubicles describes how I used to feel all the time, that no one noticed me or cared.
Disenchanted makes me think of my old friends. With them, it was a really fun time, but we were doing a lot of dangerous s**t too. The lyrics "It was a lie when they smiled, and said you won't feel a thing/and as we ran from the cops, we laughed so hard it would sting" reminds me of them so much.
