Prieš kelias savaites (sausio 30 d.), pristatydamas paskutiniąją į geriausių dainų rinkinį įeisiančią dainą "Fake Your Death", buvęs "My Chemical Romance" lyderis Gerard Way savo "Twitter" paskyroje publikavo seriją jausmingų žinučių, kurias galite paskaityti originalo kalba:

"Fake Your Death

Somewhere in the liner notes for "May Death Never Stop You", there are written statements about each song on the collection. These statements were contributed by the members of the band and reflect their personal thoughts on the songs (dispersed to members at random). There is however, one song that bears no statement.

I consider "Fake Your Death" to be the last MCR song, and to me, it is absolutely the final fully realized collaboration between the members of the band. Oddly, or fittingly, it was written while the Los Angeles Kings beat the New Jersey Devils and won the Stanley Cup, though this did not inform or inspire the song as I was unaware (along with James and Doug) that this was happening and have only a small interest in sports. After the game, the rest of the band had arrived at the studio where we added elements to its existing structure, fleshing it out some more, and it started to form.

What was not so obvious at the time was that the song was, and would serve as, a eulogy for the band, though I should have known it from the lyrics. I think internally I did, as I felt an odd sense of sadness and loss after hearing back the words on top of the music. I also felt a strange sense of pride in how honest it was, and could not remember a band recording a song of this nature, being so self-aware. Ending felt like something honest, and honest always feels like something new.

So it will exist, and it is no cowardly act to release something of this nature, but a service to those who believed in a band that did not compromise, and a wave goodbye to all. And yes, it is fucking heartbreaking.

And while I don't believe the lyrics of the chorus today - I did at the time, which to me is a core ingredient to the music of MCR. And it is through that belief, and yours, that we were able to achieve many beautiful things."

Kai kurie "My Chemical Romance" gerbėjai iškėlė teoriją, kad šie pavadinimai kai ką simbolizuoja - galbūt "May Death Never Stop You" (Lai mirtis niekada tavęs nesustabdo) ir "Fake Your Death" (Apsimesk mirusiu) reiškia, kad nors "My Chemical Romance" jau nebebus, bet grupė kada nors atgims kitu pavadinimu? Tai parodys laikas.
