Ooh, ooh, I'll do it!

I fear for any person that finds Nightlife relatable

Total Guitar, December 1997 This was one of my favourite interviews when I was a wee one.

You do, you just complained about fallacies.

But that's just it, I think a song's lyrics increase in value quite a bit when they appear to mean something to the author, even if I can't relate. Lazy Bones, for example. Decent lyrics but I think the pain that Billie experienced while writing it adds a value to it. On the other hand, you have Makeout Party. How a 40 year old married man relates to Makeout Party is beyond me

No its in context of the song - lady cobra is a quick & punchy song & fits perfectly on DOS. Hermione will back me up.

Yeah, and same line as usual of course. I think it's the most discussed line in the history of GDC!

Fallacy Man, that's who.

Except I wasn't complaining about trying to prove others wrong, just pointing out her fallacy in telling me I can't prove others wrong and then trying to prove me wrong. So you committed ANOTHER FALLACY!

Well, Nightlife is just a fun song and I do find the lust and sense of dread in Billie's vocals/lyrics to be relatable.

In Hermione's defence (although I do agree the lyrics to Troublemaker are just ridiculous), some of the best lyrics are ones where you have to fill in the gaps, so I don't see anything wrong with that in itself. I'm pretty sure Billie's done that intentionally at times. Like with how so many people relate to Jesus Of Suburbia - Billie wrote that about a character, and people apply parts of it to their own lives by shoehorning it into different contexts. That's one of my favourite things about music, tbh.

I know, right? I'd hate for anyone to go walking in a park in New York at night.

I don't really think any of them are bad, I just think it's easy to make a lyric look bad if you post it out of context and just say it's bad/silly/has no meaning. People only seem to like doing it with trilogy lyrics though. Probably doesn't help that the band have hardly talked about the songs at all, I bet if they'd talked about the meanings more this would be less of an issue

For real what's wrong with the Sex Drugs and Violence lyric though? Every word of it makes sense, with multiple thoughtful/intelligent meanings that relate to the song and society (and that have already been explained by many people on here), and it's put in a succinct and catchy way. I don't see the issue with it.

The people need to witness the horror that is the trilogy lyrics, one signature at a time. I'll update it

Just a little heads up, you might wanna remove that trilogy lyric from your sig. I mean, people might think you like the trilogy, and you wouldn't want that, would you?!

Yesterday I was listen to "Foreverly" and I think that i don't have words to say how much I love that album and I really really hope that Billie make something similar in the future

It's more often want to though, which is why it's listed first in dictionaries. I don't think there's any Green Day song (or many songs in general) that uses wanna to mean want a because it kind of sounds more lazy/childish than wanna meaning want to. "I wanna (want to) be on TV", "I wanna (want to) be sedated" and loads of other examples of wanna = want to in lyrics spring to mind but I actually can't think of any examples of wanna = want a. Unless the lyric is "want a" and it just sounds like "wanna", as in this case. But yeah that's not even why you don't like it so

I'm pretty sure it's "want a suicide" anyway. Not want to.

Don't forget "She gave up on Jesus for living on venus"!

you're right. it is ridiculous.

Your dedication to the wellbeing Green Day fans is quite remarkable

/thread /forum /life as we know it

I loathe you kidding but seriously

But the trilogy has a ton of serious subject matter. They did lighthearted spins on serious subjects far better on Dookie.

This line is excellent - come on whats wrong with that.

More than BMX-cellent tits?! Are you sure?

Pretty certain I already have more than once before . I think it's just a nice simple, positive message to end the albums on, to embrace the now, the future (or to put it another way live in the "moment" and look forward to "tomorrow" rather than fearing/"looking away from" those things and living the past), and love. After all the shit that's happened, a full blown mid life crisis and drunken binges and flings and the rest of it, those are the things that matter in the end.

Lol I couldn't be bothered. But yeah, there's good rap lyrics and bad rap lyrics, and good rock lyrics and bad rock lyrics, there's good and bad in every genre of music so it's silly to generalize about a whole genre based on the bad. And excellent . I think about ten thousand people have explained that line on here over the years though, I can't take any credit! It is referencing periods which might be gross to some people, but it's as a metaphor for a young female celebrity (the subject of the song according to the band) becoming old enough to be exploited by the media and her family through being pushed into fame too young. She's old enough to literally bleed by menstruating, and metaphorically "bleed" as in deal with problems as an adult and start to earn and get exploited for money by everyone with a stake in her fame.

You're appealing to authority right now!

You straw manned me not 20 minutes ago.

Haha! It's just funny that there's actually so much to interpret in a line that's deliberately totally silly and ridiculous. It's fun

Cool opinion, I respect it.

It is one big vague cliche

I have no idea what you find so bad about The Forgotten. I think the song and lyrics are pretty fantastic.

See: signature

So are convoluted retcons that desperately try to explain how the lyrics are good and make sense. Occam's Razor is your friend.

>quoting the intentionally ridiculous song Why do people keep doing this? It's really, really obvious he wasn't going for gold in Troublemaker.

This isn't exactly "Green Day", but it immediately remind me of Worry Rock (I'll put it on spoiler 'cause it's a big picture) And look! I'm going through pics from his art on tumblr and found this!

I suggest "hope there's more in your pants than a bus route" for the next one.

:wub:

he didn't say it sucked bro he just said it wasn't their best goddamn

I edited this photo, that's why it looks like that...
