Jessica22 Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 I've searched this topic and I think it's not posted yet. So this is to discuss on the meaning of the lyrics of ¡Tré! songs as we did with the songs of ¡Uno! in other topic. To put my two cents, I read an interview where Billie said that X-kid is about a friend of them that committed suicide because he couldn't face that his youth was over. And I've heard rumors that says that 'Little boy named Train' is about a Billie's friend that was hermaphrodite or something like that, but I haven't seen them saying it. Also I feel curious about 'Dirty Rotten Bastards', there appear lot of references to old songs, but I can't figure out the whole meaning.
beejeezee Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Pretty sure Amanda is about Amanda. I could be wrong though. It might be about his cat.
Australian1diot Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Pretty sure Amanda is about Amanda. I could be wrong though. It might be about his cat. I wanna be as smart as you when i'm older xD
PanicAttack! Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Drama Queen is about Billie Joe's ongoing pedophilia, and that's a fact.

Alan86 Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 The Forgotten is about the Characters on Twilight.
beejeezee Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 The Forgotten is about the Characters on Twilight. Billie does love the RPattz.
Guest Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Sex, Drugs, and Violence is about Abstinence, Cake, and Puppies. Shocker, I know.
Sarcasm Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 I do sense some sarcasm in this thread already Anyway, as far as I've noticed, many of the songs on Tre could be about fading into adulthood and quit being a kid and dealing with that.

Not really fair to Billie otherwise.
Gregorovich Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 I'm assuming Brutal Love and Dirty Rotten Bastards are about kinky sex.
BasKerplunCase Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 This thread, is just completely not serious at all. I'm guessing you all knew that though.
Sanity Loan Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Shouldn't it be made clear that they're someone's personal interpretations? Not really fair to Billie otherwise. I agree
alecandstuff Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 99 Revolutions is about a Merry-Go-Round
Sixtrix Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 I think from all the songs on Tre, I've only figured out Walk Away so far. It's about walking away from a certain scene or situation.
Cath Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 99 Revolutions is about a Merry-Go-Round What do you mean? Which lyrics make you think like that? I though it was actually about the theory 1999 turning to 2000.
Overjoyyed Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 the song lyric meanings are too formal for my taste.
alecandstuff Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 What do you mean? Which lyrics make you think like that? I though it was actually about the theory 1999 turning to 2000. I think I'll have to revisit my statement. It's actually about Billie Joe riding a merry go round in 1999
Strayheart1219 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 I was actually excited to see about some song meanings but all you guys are, are sarcastic twats. I heard that drama queen is about tres and mikes daughters tho! Not sure if confirmed.

I heard that drama queen is about tres and mikes daughters tho! Not sure if confirmed. It's about a young girl growing up under the Hollywood spotlight and having it eventually poison her.
harry88788 Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 I am confused in The Forgotten what is the/our abandon/abandoned. Is it the people who have been abandoned or something else
YoYoFantaFanta Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Here are my interpretations Brutal Love - Some guy broke up with his girlfriend, starts drinking to sober his depression, and finally kills himself Missing You - This guy misses his girlfriend 8th Avenue Serenade - Teenage lust Drama Queen - Celebrity children who can't take being famous and go slowly insane from it X-Kid - A guy couldn't grow up and kills himself Sex, Drugs, and Violence - A guy fucked up in school and now he's just fucked up Little Boy Named Train - Some guy is totally lost and doesn't know where to go Amanda - Some guy is wondering what happened to this girl he liked but broke up with Walk Away - A couple is having relationship issues and the one of them thinks that it's not worth fighting for anymore Dirty Rotten Bastards - A guy is sick of being a loser, goes insane, kills a girl named Julianna, and realizes that he went insane 99 Revolutions - A rallying cry for the Occupy Wall Street movement The Forgotten - It's saying to people who feel rejected, this rejection won't last forever, people love you, and tomorrow will be better
musso_kn Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Here are my interpretations Brutal Love - Some guy broke up with his girlfriend, starts drinking to sober his depression, and finally kills himself I personally don't think it is about a break up. The line 'how long is this brutal love?' suggests to me that the very idea of splitting up is unthinkable. The way I see it, the couple in question would much rather spend the rest of their lives waiting for one of them to die so the other could be free than actively 'break up'. The suicide idea is really good and kinda fits with what I was thinking, too...
Slave To The Network Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 I don't generally care all that much about what a song means. There are sometimes I do, but mostly I just care if It's a great song and all of these are.
