End Of The World Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Well I'd say "Heart recycled but never saved, from the cradle to the grave" in JOS; "I've said a thousand times and now a thousand one" from Stray Heart; "I'm so fucking happy I could cry" in Nice Guys Finish Last; "Are you scared to death to live" (Still Breathing); "Christmas lights in the middle of August" in Deadbeat Holiday; "Something inside this heart has died" (21 Guns; Boulevard of Broken Dreams entirely.

solongfromthestars Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 "You found a home in all your scars and ammunition" is my favourite lyric of all time. The character has scars from the past, but despite them she's found a home with her ammunition (hope, ambition, determination) for the future. It's so hopeful and was truly inspirational to 14 year-old me when it came out. I'm sure I've already said this in a similar thread but can't miss an opportunity to praise that song I also love: "My heart is beating from me / I'm standing all alone / Please call me only if you are coming home" "Where do we go from here and what did you do with the directions? / Promise me no dead end streets and I'll guarantee we'll have the road" "Dance forever under the lights / This brutal love ... Bad sex, buy me a trainwreck / Something for my troubled mind" "I had a dream that I kissed your lips and it felt so true / Then I woke up as a nervous wreck and I fell for you / I'll spend the night living in denial / Making paper planes just for a while" And a new one: "My head's above the rain and roses / Making my way to you" I could write an essay about all the lyrics I love but I'll leave it there As for quotes, I know we can't take everything they say 100% seriously, but I really do love this quote of Billie's about their live shows and I think it's safe to say he's being truthful: “Our shows are really fun and jovial and can also be pretty spiritual. Just let yourself go. And this is a place where every weirdo, every anxiety-prone, awkward human being can come and feel at home.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Jonny Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 One line that keeps my heart from breaking day in and day out is "throw my emotions in the grave, hell who needs them anyway!" Among a fuckload of other lyrics that have inspired and kept me alive. Billie is a master of finding the right words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tea Cool Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Another great batch of lyrics is: I don't know you but I think I hate you You're the reason for my misery Strange, how you've become my biggest enemy And I've never even seen your face.

Thatsername Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I remember that this line from Macy's Day Parade hit me hard and wouldn't let me go for weeks when I discovered this song on my first Green Day CD, which was International Superhits. It still gives me a lot to think about whenever I try to figure out what I really want in my life. "Cause I'm thinking about a brand new hope The one I've never known And where it goes And I'm thinking about the only road The one I've never known And where it goes And I'm thinking about a brand new hope The one I've never known Cause now I know It's all that I wanted" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sara_gd Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 "To live and not to breathe is to die in tragedy. To run, to run away, to find what you believe" (JOS) is probably my all time favorite. I also love "And I leave behind this hurricane of fucking lies. And I walked this line a million and one fucking times but not this time". "If you could see inside my head then you'd start to understand the things I value in my heart" (JAR). "She, she's figured out all her doubts were someone else's point of view" (She) "Marching out of time to my own beat now, the only way I know" (Minority) "Never trusted anyone let alone myself" (Armatage Shanks). "Well, I don't want to be an imbecile but Jesus made me that way" (Sex, Drugs and Violence). While I don't relate to it, it's been inspiring for me. "You taught me how to live" (Homecoming) is my relationship with Green Day basically... "The first time I caught a glimpse of you, then all my thoughts were only of you" (Only of You) is that + my teenage years with my crush xD so it's emotional for me also. "I feel like I've been crucified to be satisfied. I'm a victim of my symptom, I am my own worst enemy. You're a victim of your symptom, you are your own worst enemy. Know your enemy (...) You're a victim of the system you are you own worst enemy" (Restless Heart Syndrome) "Cause I'm thinking about a brand new hope, the one I've never known and where it goes. And I'm thinking about the only road, the one I've never known and where it goes. And I'm thinking about a brand new hope, the one I've never known. Cause now I know it's all that I wanted" (Macy's Day Parade). Those are just some, I have so many....... From the new album I still have to think about it more but there are some lyrics that I really like. "Hallelujah I found my soul under the sofa pillows" (Somewhere Now), "I ain't gonna stand in line no more" (Forever Now) , "my head's above the rain and roses" (Still Breathing)... Also "I wanna be a celebrity martyr, the leading man in my own private drama. Hurrah, hurrah, the hero of the hour. Daddy's little psycho and Mommy's little soldier" (Bang Bang) I think those are great. And Troubled Times on it's entirety. My favorite quote is probably from Billie Joe: "There's always a lesson somewhere on a path to nowhere". He said that in an interview in 2010 or so? For some gay magazine I remember.

I don't care Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 For some reason I love the line "Legalize the truth" from Revolution Radio. "It says home is where your heart is, but what a shame, 'cause everyone's heart doesn't beat the same. It's beating out of time" is another favourite of mine, but that seems to be a rather common opinion. I also like the line "Without a doubt, singled out the only way I know" it just feels satisfying to say it, am I making sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOE THE X-KID Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Legalise the truth is super cool. I also love "you were searching your soul, you got lost and out of control. you went over the edge of joking, died of a broken heart."

To be honest if you asked me to explain the difference I don't think I could. My favourite line from RevRad is probably "Hallelujah I found my soul under the sofa pillows". It captures the whole album for me and I find it both inspiring and reassuring - you never really lose your soul, it's there the whole time.

Isn't it like this: heart attack - when you have a blood clot in a coronal artery and blood stops flowing into a part of your heart. Cardiac arrest - your heart stops beating. Right? I second this, it's such a beautiful line and I love the way he sings it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems appropriate considering the song we're talking about "I like your BM-excellent tits" On 11/1/2016 at 8:52 AM, End Of The World said: "The world stops turning, paradise burning." (Troubled Times) Wow I thought that lyric was "The world stops turning, there it dies burning". Just listened to it and I think it's "paradise burning". It kinda sounds like both though. "Paradise burning" is actually a better lyric though On 11/1/2016 at 8:52 AM, End Of The World said: "I want to hold you like a gun, we'll shoot the moon into the sun."

Chris Durso Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 My favorite lyrics would be JOS- I don't care if you don't, I don't care if you don't, I don't care if you don't care JOS- Am I retarted or am I just overjoyed? American Idiot - Maybe I'm the faggot America Holiday- i beg to dream and differ from the hallow lies Scatered- reminds of the times we shared Burnout - I declare I don't care no more She- Are you locked up in a world that's been planed out for you? Are you feeling like a social tool with out any use? Brat - mom and dad don't look so hot these days theres many more, just can't think of them quotes would be Mike "WHY ARE THERE NO CLOUDS IN THE SKY!"
