xLumian Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 Jesus of Suburbia and Words I Might Have Ate
bringonjennifury Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 While 21 Guns is not the song that best describes me right now, I am mentioning it because it has been in the past and is the song than made me transition from a casual Green Day fan to an obsessed worshiper. The first time I heard it, it was almost spooky how it described my life at the time, especially the 2nd verse. Then last winter when the state was being slashed with budget cuts, one of my bosses told me my work performance showed “extreme deficiency” (even though I worked there 16 years without any formal complaint.) She gave me an “improvement plan” which consisted of a list of impossible tasks. Even though it was obvious I was being set up to fail, I was not giving up the job I loved without a fight. Somehow, I managed to complete the impossible tasks. So then my boss wrote me a scathing performance evaluation and told me that next year in addition to increasing my work load, she was giving me a new “improvement plan” which was even longer and more impossible. At this point, I was physically and emotionally worn out. I realized my job was no longer worth fighting for and it was time to give up the fight. While I packed up my office, I listened to 21 Guns over and over. I spent the next three months grieving while echoes of that evil performance evaluation banged around my head. Even though I know most of the evaluation was bullshit and I could prove it, memories of its harsh accusations made me doubt myself and my abilities. Just last week I had a day when I could not even get myself out of bed because I kept thinking about the things my boss said in that evaluation. I kept telling myself I had to get over it, stop obsessing, and let go of it. But I could not make myself listen. I finally forced myself to get up, sat down at my computer, and went to GDA. And that is when I heard Let Yourself Go. The timing could not have been more perfect. While I could not listen to myself saying to get over it, hearing “GOTTA LET IT GO” screaming in my ear was exactly what I needed. And the lyrics told me exactly why I should not listen to any of the crap my boss said. Man I would love to hand her back that performance evaluation and scream “Here’s your lie, tell it all you like!” I have been listening to it not-stop for the past week. And I am having an easier time getting out of bed as well. (I also like to listen to Platypus and Ha Ha You’re Dead when I think about my boss.)
Vanilla Shake Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Whatsername - reminds me of my most recent ex-girlfriend. As does Haushinka and Stray Heart. And Kill the DJ brings out my hatred of dubstep.
Jessicabasketcase Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 I've always thought 'She' and '¡Viva La Gloria!' were the two songs that reflected an image of my vacant self. These songs have always spoke more words than I ever could. But at this very point in time, today.. my state of mind leans toward Don't Wanna Fall in Love.. The lyrics "Don't want to have you hanging around me like a leech, I think you're just a problem so stay the fuck away from me because I don't belive in you".... never held so much meaning until now
Batgirl Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Stray heart and Whatsername... yeah I'm trying to get over this one guy who I can't have... although things have happened between us, he got a girlfriend this summer I guess I get my hopes up too easily... so "I'll never turn back time, forgetting you, but not the time."
GuitarPunk94 Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Why Do You Want Him? and Haushinka in a way..dunno there is this girl i know, she currently is the girlfriend of her ex-boyfriend again, but she seems to be not happy with him..again.. and between me and her its not a 'normal' friendship between a boy and a girl, but our relationsship isnt that strong to say that she is my girlfriend and i her boyfriend..its sth between this

Webb_2011 Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Well I'd say at the moment it's Angel Blue. For some reason this song always gets me somehow. Still trying to figure out why. Maybe this was a bad choice! My other choice would be Basket Case.
stan the harmonica man Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Fell For You cuz I have a huge crush on a girl right now
JWrench22 Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Jesus of Suburbia " Home is where the heart is but what a shame cause everyones heart doesn't beat the same" and all of Rusty James seems like most of my friends have gone and im stuck here not feeling at home
Yuck Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Fell For You. just started a relationship with an amazing girl (non Green Day fan but..we sang the Broadway version of Last Night On Earth Together <3 )
greeneyedgirl Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Fell For You. I've fallen for this guy I grew up with. We've known each other since we were 2 and I hung out with him a lot over the summer. Near the end of summer I woke up one morning and realized I really like him. He is a Green Day fan too(:
