In what song is the word "malakite"? LOL, I don't think I've ever heard that word before in my life, although apparently I must have if it's in a song.

2,000 Light Years Away, "She hold my malakite so tight so... never let go, cause she's 2000 light years away."

Gosh, there are so many words/phrases/definitions I've learned from Billie's songwriting. To name a few:

hired gun ("gun for hire" in Viva la Gloria)

lobotomy (Before the Lobotomy)

masochist (JOS)

propaganda (American Idiot)

sodomized (EJN)

effigy (KYE)

bureaucratic (American Eulogy)

critical mass (Viva la Gloria)

I'm listening to 21CB right now, so these are the only words I can come up with at the moment. I'm sure there are more, though.

Oh yeah - there's one phrase in particular I learned from an interview they did:

finger fucker

Malakite is in the 2000 LYA chorus.

She holds my malakite so tight

Edit: dammit

[Jinjonator]

In what song is the word "malakite"?

2000 Lightyears Away. It's my understanding that that's a green gemstone.

Also, effigy is the only one that comes to mind. English is my first and only language so...

[Guest Shangri-La]

i've explained this like 7 times in this thread already, but..

malachite/malakite = green gemstone

billie joes eyeballs = green

"she holds my malakite so tight"

do the math.

[Sarahnade.]

SERENADE!

Blasphemy, effigy, malakite, suburbia, masochist, extortionist, lobotomy, contention, etc.

I remember a couple years ago, going through their lyrics and looking yp words in a dictionary that I didn't know.

I've started saying my college is in East Jesus Nowhere (Williamsburg, VA).

[anymor]

oh-hohoh..english is not my first language..the only reason made me really desire to speak english was to understand what the fuck they say in their song I can say that for all my high school years, all my english knowledges were based on Green Day, I didn't know other words..ahah..so, everytime my english teacher readed my compositions, she was like: "hey girl, you speak in a strange way"..
