EastCaitNowhere Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 This song is probably my least favourite from the album. its always a skip for me - sounds a bit too much like what we've heard before (i.e: trilogy)
That Dude Posted October 14, 2016 Posted October 14, 2016 Green Day's first mention of Satan in their lyrics. In the world we live in that would probably get censored on the radio. But when I listen to it, even as a religious person, I understand what he's trying to say.

I feel like they must have before.
Dakke Posted October 14, 2016 Posted October 14, 2016 I always interpreted this song as an addendum to Outlaws, basically a reflection of the carelessness of their early Gilman days.

CONFIRMED - NEW METAL BAND "GREENDAY" THREATENS OUR YOUTH! Also, I think you're right, unless you count "the devil" in Nightlife.

PursuitOfEpicness Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 I like this one alright it's really fun it's not one of my top favorites though
Minority103 Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 I was reading the lyrics in the booklet while listening to it and I saw that where he actually says "Concrete dream, I'm gonna make a scene, a radio, covered in gasoline", in the booklet is written differently, and it's "Concrete dream, I wanna hear you scream, the radio, covered in gasoline" and it makes me laugh ahah

It's weird. But I'm happy that you understand "I wanna make a scene", too, I already thought I'm imagining things

The Peacemaker567 Posted November 2, 2016 Posted November 2, 2016 Kind of sounds like a foxboro hottubs song. Which I love.
Dakke Posted November 4, 2016 Posted November 4, 2016 Bouncing off the Wall embodies actually what the Trilogy could have been: a fun song with a catchy tune and semi-tossed off lyrics that aren't completely generic or totally absurd.
RougeRogue Posted November 4, 2016 Posted November 4, 2016 Every time I hear this one I seem to like it more. It's at the same enjoyment level as Youngblood for me, I think.

Maid Meringue Posted November 10, 2016 Posted November 10, 2016 After the election results yesterday I feel like I understand this song on a new level. At first, I thought it was another party song, reminiscent of the trilogy. But now, it's like people's minds literally exploded from the stupidity making rounds in the US. Just the intense amount of Facebook statuses, articles, and protests yesterday put this into context: "We're all getting pissed, and everybody's bouncing off the walls".

Chasing fireflies and zeros...BILLIE WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN On 10/07/2016 at 9:08 PM, Libertine Angel said: You expect anything other than random word salad after the title track's chorus? I know these are old comments, but I don't know why since the first time I heard the song I thought "chasing zeros" meant chasing money, fireflies on the other hand, no idea what he meant by that.
End Of The World Posted November 10, 2016 Posted November 10, 2016 I always think this song is too slow. Maybe 5 or 10 BPM more would have made the difference between a good song and the new KYE.

The topic the guys have in mind here is the insanity that gets blasted out in social media. "I'm gonna make a scene, my radio, covered in gasoline, sleeping in reverse and everybody's bouncing off the walls" is my Twitter feed in a nutshell. "Fireflies and zeroes" are trendy, trending topics - fleeting lights, flashing every which way in the dark, without actually creating anything lasting, meaningful, or tangible...one lights up, you focus on it for a second before another one takes its place and you totally forget about the first.

I love it. I've thought the same. Kind of feel like many of the songs on Rev Rad could fit with Uno, Dos and Trè. And I don't mind
Schlappy Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 I heard this one on the radio the other day... quite random.
