'' I Brought You My Bullets , You Brought Me Your Love '' is often regarded as a concept album . It involves two Bonnie and Clyde-esque characters who are eventually gunned down in the desert . On My Chemical Romance 's next album , '' Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge '' ( 2004 ) , the unnamed man supposedly then finds himself in purgatory , where he makes a deal with Satan : his hellbound lover for the souls of a thousand evil men . He is then resurrected and sent on his gruesome task . Though it is generally accepted by the group 's core fanbase , this has led some to attribute its supposed existence to over-analysis on the part of hardcore fans . The alleged storyline is not confirmed by the band , but some evidence includes : Another theme apparent on the album is the nature of vampires , as in both the undead creatures and , metaphorically speaking , those who seek to corrupt and exploit others . The song " Skylines and Turnstiles " was written shortly after the September 11 attacks and expressed feelings of sorrow and loss , and " Early Sunsets over Monroeville " was inspired by the George A. Romero film '' Dawn of the Dead '' . Gerard himself describes it as " a sweet song about '' Dawn of the Dead '' " , with the lyrics using references from the film . Before the September 11 attacks , Gerard was working as a comic book writer and animator . He was working on a vampire comic ( which he never completed ) , and has also said that is the reason for the vampires in the lyrics
