The music video consists of My Chemical Romance tightly packed into a room where they play their instruments in very little color. The room was painted by Gerard Way (lead vocals) and Frank Iero (rhythm guitar). Shortly after they got high from the fumes, the two of them became sick. In the video, Frank Iero is seen with dreadlocks and singing backup for Gerard along with Ray Toro (lead guitar) and playing the guitar. Though the video was shown at the record release show for My Chemical Romance's first album,[citation needed] it was officially released when the album I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love was re-released in 2005. The re-release included this music video, as well as the one for "Honey, This Mirror Isn't Big Enough for the Two of Us". The re-release also had an Eyeball Records CD included along with it.
The meaning of the song's lyrics was explained by the band as a metaphoric critique to the society. The "vampires" represent the greedy and ambitious human beings. In the concept story, though, this song is the part where vampires take over the town that the two main characters live in. Gerard has said that he used vampires as a metaphor for people who want to use others for their own gain. He went on to say that there is always something about the living dead which will make people clinically depressed.
