Wow these lyrics are as dark as the Longshot and Trilogy combined 😢

But is it as dark as Christian’s Inferno?

I’m serious. I didn’t see the lyrics yet.

[Beyza]

Many low and high in the lyrics. ”How high is your low?” ”High on a low life” I liked that contrast.

still hoping this album pisses off all of you guys, judging how you guys judging the lyrics before hearing the actual songs, just a step closer

I mean if people judge the lyrics it’s totally valid, but judging the whole song is taking it too far.

Yeah and reminds me of happiness lyrics "how happy is your happiness" 

[petros]

I'm not gonna spoil the lyrics without a leak. I'm happy people say they're dark though. I'd like a leak now my day was pretty good it would be nice to end it with a new green day album.

[HAPPY ZOMBIE UNICORN]

Not gonna read the lyrics until I can hear the songs.

Won’t lie the lyrics don’t sound too great and are mostly nonsense to me but the songs might still be kickass

English is not my native language and I can't understand everything i hear in the songs immediately and this will be the first time since the days of American Idiot that i will read the lyrics and hear the songs simultaneously . The other albums since then had leaked earlier, or had an official realese in my country some days after their realese in USA, so the lyrics weren't available or i had already heard the songs. Ι just had a emotional recollection of 15 years ago, when i was very young and started liking the band and now I am as excited as the kid with the lyric book in hand I was. It is a privilege to love a band constantly, so many happy memories are intertwined with them.

Okay now I'm really excited for Graffitia, says it reminds of Muse's "Starlight", it must be very interesting 

Oh geez...not sure how I feel about that comparison...

You can't use a smartphone to light up, so people still have lighters They're not obsolete.

Yes that's a very good song though 👌

I only looked at the lyrics once, but from what I read, I’m really intrigued. They truly are dark and the entire album seems almost like a soliloquy to self-destruction, but what really surprised me is that, unlike The Longshot and most Trilogy songs that follow the same topics, Billie is now using a lot of the recurrent grotesque imagery in almost all the lyrics, like he’s trying to be intentionally ugly (reminds me a lot of Fever Blister in that way). It’s something he’s been playing around a lot in the past few years, especially with The Longshot drawings and all, but I think now he truly got the lyrics evoke the same feeling. When the full songs come out, they’re probably gonna help put in context some aesthetic choices from this era, especially the album cover.

I’m super hyped now, but reading how all that subreddit thread is trashing the lyrics, I’m not sure if I’m onto something or just in too deep to start waxing poetry about Billie singing about piss and spit 😂

Here at GDSheen we only pull out lighters for crack

dark and to the point, I like that. It's like Trilogy or Longshot but with more punch. It's simplistic but not in a bad way. These lyrics have a quite heavy emotion to them.

You make a very good point here. There's a certain ugliness to it that seems to be an artistic choice. He's singing about stuff that isn't nice and he's not glossing it. The kitchiness of the visuals plays into this too. Now that I think of it, Madonna Inn is featured in Umberto Eco's On Ugliness, so yeah, it's a literal textbook example of a grotesque aesthetic. And it makes sense in the context of his disgusted imagery (crawling on the floor, spit), it's a contrast and there's also a lot of cynicism in it. There's some cruel mockery in that, "rock'n'roll tragedy / I think the next one could be me".

Obviously there's a million GD songs that sound upbeat musically but are dark lyrically, but the first song that comes to mind for me is 27th Ave Shuffle (esp since people keep making FBHT comparisons).  I tend to listen to the music more, especially early on, but that's one that the lyrics really jumped out on their own and I noticed how dark it truly was.
