Maria
Posted by Christine on June 08 2009
It's about this guy's girlfriend who runs away and he is trying to find her. Meanwhile, she is so angry that she is doing rebellious things.
1/2
Posted by Ashley on May 27 2009
Maria is about a girl that doesn't like how the world is now and she ran away from the pain and anguish that was eventually catch up to her. She ran away both physically and mentally so that no one would remember her so that she can start a new life in a new place.

Poprocks & Coke
Posted by PentaxiA on October 10 2009
this song is about being faithfull to the people who means something to you, and being there to help them, even if they, or you screw up
1/6
Posted by emmie on August 27 2009
This song is about someone saying they will be there for someone. And you might fuck up sometimes, but you'll still be there again and again, no matter what.
2/6
Posted by SAINT-jimmy on August 05 2009
I think this song is about the band being friends and that anytime they feel sad they'll be there for each other.
3/6
Posted by Chrisitne on June 08 2009
This song is about this guy who is telling his girlfriend that at any time she is feeling down that he will be there to talk to her.

Posted by Jen on May 28 2009
This song is about always being there for a person when they are going through tough times.
5/6
Posted by Iva on May 27 2009
Well it's pretty obvious the song is about your buddies and being there for eachother. But my friend and I remembered the myth on the title: Poprocks and coke is suppose to kill you! So at times a friendship can kill you or have you killed over money or you slept with their girl or something "fun" like that! But most of the time it's good to have friends. The right friends

Longview
Posted by KaitlynSophia on August 17 2009
I think it's just about having no life in general Just sitting around on the weekends constantly
1/6
Posted by ME!!! on August 14 2009
The song is about being so bored that you're constantly masturbating. there was a myth, most likely to try and keep teenage boys from masturbating *it didn't work* that if you jacked off too much you'd go blind. hence "i'm so damn bored im going blind" and "bite my lip and close my eyes. take me away to paradise" the rest is, of course, just about being bored out of your ever-lovin mind
2/6
Posted by Christine on June 08 2009
I think this song is about somebody having a day where they are very bored and they are pissed off because they have nothing to do with their life.
3/6
Posted by James on June 06 2009
Longview, although the lyrics are literally about boredom and masturbation, it's kind of a song about growing up. It's a song about realizing how you've wasted your potential just by sitting around and doing nothing.
"My mother says to get a job, but she don't like the one she's got."
On that note, he's saying he needs to get a job or hobby, OR he's saying his mother is a hypocrite.
4/6
Posted by Katherine on June 02 2009
This song is about sitting on the couch all day doing nothing, being bored, smoking weed and masterbating to the point where masterbating becomes boring ("When masterbation's lost its fun you're fucking lazy")
5/6
Posted by Niamh on May 27 2009
This song is about someone sitting at home all day masturbating and being bored, with no friends, no job and no girlfriend.
They're wondering what they're going to do with their life.

Welcome to Paradise
Posted by Amanda on September 11 2009
Billie wrote this song because he and Mike had moved out of his mother's home and were now living on their own.
1/4
Posted by whatsername on September 06 2009
This song is about someone finally leaving their home, and basically they are saying "fuck you" to their parents. I think "Paradise" is a sarcastic way of saying wherever that person is living now ('slums', 'broken homes').
2/4
Posted by nosie on August 17 2009
This song is about the ghetto. Yet...........you belong. It is paradise.
3/4

This song is about moving to a hellhole you hate, but growing to love it so much that when you have a chance to escape, you don't want to.

Basket Case
Posted by Jaques on September 18 2009
It's about being paranoid and having panic attacks - and as a teenager who has had very bad experiences with both (So bad I passed out) I can say it captures the feeling pretty well, right down to thinking you're going insane and mixing up words in your head. And the line "Am I just paranoid, or am I just stoned?" gives a good relation to how it feels like tripping when you're seriously stoned.
1/8
Posted by mathew long on September 14 2009
i think this song about having panic attacks and not knowing how to deal with them
2/8
Posted by Words-I-Might-Have-Ate on August 11 2009
This one's about Billie's OCD and anxiety. Having both of these things myself, this song's one of my favorites. You feel paranoid about everything with OCD and during panic attacks you feel like you're spinning out of control and you don't understand a thing. "Do you have the time, to listen to me whine, about nothing and everything all at once," describes a panic attack perfectly.
3/8
Posted by Julianna on June 03 2009
This song is about a paranoid person who is overwhelmed with trying to keep their sanity in place. And no matter what they do (going to a shrink) nothing really helps

When I Come Around
Posted by Words-I-Might-Have-Ate on August 11 2009
Billie wrote this after he and his wife had a fight, telling her that he just needed some time to "come around."
1/2
Posted by Kristen on May 28 2009
To me, this song is about 2 people who are taking a break from each other after having an argument. Billie Joe needs some time to "come around", clear his mind of what's bothering him.

She
Posted by Mariana Tello on September 20 2009
Most people think that this song is about a girl whose life is controlled by her parents, but I think that it talks about the life that the society creates for all of us. For me, this song is about a girl that realized that she can create her own future, her own life; she doesn't have to accept what the society imposes.
1/6
Posted by MadiOfSuburbia on September 01 2009
It's about a girl who doesn't know how to live her life, because people (mostly her parents) keep telling her what to believe in. "She, she's figured out, all her doubts were someone else's point of view." And people keep telling her what to do and how her life will end up. "Are you locked up in a world that's been planned out for you/are you feeling like a social tool w/out a use...scream @ me, until my ears bleed/i'm taking heed just for you..."
2/6
Posted by emii on August 27 2009
This song is about someone who is tired of being ignored, trying to do something about it, but still being ignored. So she realizes she should just...break.
3/6
Posted by Seriousjin on July 18 2009
This song is about a girl who sees that her parents or perhaps someone else is/was fully controlling her.
4/6
Posted by Corey Ward on June 11 2009
This is your typical parent and kid relationship. Where you feel as if the world hates you and your parents aren't there to help the situation but just to make it worse.

This song is about a girl whose whole life is being controlled by her parents and family. She decides to take control of her life and do things her own way.

JAR
Posted by Tucker on June 05 2009
Mike Dirnt wrote this song for his friend Jason Andrew Relva (J.A.R) who died from injuries sustained from a car accident in 1992.
1/5
Posted by Lucky on June 03 2009
Written by Mike about the band's friend Jason Andrew Relva, who died in a car crash that was presumed a suicide. It doesn't mention him by name (well, apart from in the title), but it's essentially about reminiscing about a friend that you've lost. Some lyrics do relate directly ("My friend drove off the other day..."), and they kinda make you think that if you lead the same life as your friend who died, maybe you should rethink the way you're living.

3/5
Posted by Maria on June 02 2009
This song was written by Mike about a friend who passed away (JAR stands for Jason Andrew Revla). I think it's about Mike thinking back on his friend's life and wondering if he got to do everything he wanted to do. It's about realizing that life's short so,in reference to the song lyrics,you, "gotta live it up,cuz life goes on".
4/5
Posted by Lauren on June 01 2009
Mike wrote this song about Green Day's friend, who died in a car crash. His name was Jason Andrew Relva, which spells out JAR. His friends are telling him to move on from Jason's death. But... he has a lot to think about. He is realizing that he's only human, and his life will end eventually, so he wonders if the same thing could happen to him if he continues to live his life like Jason did. He knows he has to make a plan for his future, but he's a bit reluctant and really wants to enjoy being young while it lasts.

Posted by H347H32 on June 02 2009
This song is about a meth addict. The lyrics "I made my decision/to lead a path of self-destruction" explain how, although he knows it's destroying him, he continues to get high and he can't control himself any longer.

Jaded
Posted by Marshall on August 07 2009
It makes sense that this song flows out of Brain Stew, where he cannot sleep, so he possibly uses drugs to ease the insomnia, and then he is "jaded." This song is partly about being high, but more importantly about always moving forward in life, regardless of how correctly you are moving (always move forward; going straight will get you nowhere)
1/4
Posted by Hailey on August 03 2009
This song is about how you feel when you get high. Billie got high when shooting the video for Jaded to "get the feel" for the video.
2/4
Posted by Doug on July 26 2009
The meaning of Jaded is about living fast and dying young. It's about getting high and living life to the fullest and eventually killing yourself from this crazy and wild life you're living.
3/4

Jaded is about that funny feeling you get when your high and you couldn't care less about anything but that feeling

Walking Contradiction
Posted by Danielle on September 15 2009
I think that this song is a sarcastic remark on how contradictory they were when Dookie became a success. By contradictary, I mean the age old rule on punk going mainstream and how "true" punk stays underground. "I believe I'm a walking contradiction and I got no rights." Basically, I think they were sarcastically saying that yep, they were walking contradictions and they were not punk, even though they are.
1/6
Posted by THEamericanidiot04 on September 07 2009
I think this song is about a chain reaction of bad things happening to you and you just cant escape it.
2/6
Posted by Rachel on August 25 2009
Life itself is a walking contradiction. That's the message here I think. Basically, Billie's saying that everything is contradictory to everything else, and how people say one thing then five minutes later say/do something else.

Stuck With Me
Posted by Tommy Ten Fingers on May 28 2009
Stuck With Me is a song that was written for every person who has ever been put down in their life by somebody who thinks they are better. The lyrics reject that elitism, and describe the desperate sense of alone-ness the dejected constantly feel.

2/3
Posted by 4thWarmasterKais on June 01 2009
'Hitchin' A Ride' is about being an alcoholic, and just wanting to keep drinking. Alternately, you could say it's about needing a drink to get away from not having the life you wanted.

'Hitchin' A Ride' is about being an alcoholic, and just wanting to keep drinking. Alternately, you could say it's about needing a drink to get away from not having the life you wanted.

Time Of Your Life
Posted by Seriousjin on July 18 2009
This song could be about a boy that has been left by a girl. He hopes that she has/had the time of her life, Maybe she cheated on him.
1/3
Posted by Kat on June 03 2009
i think this song is about just to enjoy life as it comes and if it throws you in some problems just try to hang on and keep going on with your life
2/3
Posted by Julianna on June 03 2009
Time of Your life is a song about hanging on to the things you treasure most in your life, but you do run into a few bumps along the way. Just appreciate that they came along in the first place, and that you hve learned from those experiences.

Redundant
Posted by Words-I-Might-Have-Ate on August 11 2009
It's about how when you say things too much, they don't mean anything. Billie wrote it for his wife.
1/3
Posted by Katherine on June 02 2009
Billie Joe sings about a relationship that has become boring and rehersed, to the point where saying "I Love You" doesn't have a profound meaning. ("I'm speechless and redundant, 'cause 'I love you' is not enough...")
2/3
Posted by Brittany on May 26 2009
Redundant's meaning, to me, is living life in a re-run type manner. Doing the same things over and over & saying the same things. Until one day your words and actions don't really have a meaning behind them anymore.

Nice Guys Finish Last
Posted by Jos!e on October 19 2009
This song is about needing to be a strong individual to get what u want instead of being weak and getting stepped on.
1/6
Posted by Jaques on September 17 2009
This song's meaning is dead obvious - if you don't do what you want, you won't get what you want. The song may also be directly or indirectly related to the famous quote "Nice guys finish last" - said by American baseball infield player and manager Leo Durocher.

The title pretty much explains it. To get what you want in life, you have to put yourself first. Be selfish or you won't get what you want.

This is about getting the shit end of the deal. It's typical too for example when you're nice to and for a girl you seem to get the shitty deal but if you're a typical dick they'll stay around.

Minority
Posted by bf zzz on September 22 2009
i think that this song means that you don't need any authority or permission to be yourself and to stand out from the crowd. Green Day is a great example of a minority - they are a band that stands out and are not afraid to show it - that's also a huge thing about being punk - you're not just a clone of everything else that's around you - you're just you!!!!!
1/11
Posted by Rachel on August 25 2009
Minority is about being diffrent. Not caring about what people say about it, you just want to be your own person.
2/11
Posted by Nica Rosan on August 11 2009
I think this song is plainly stating 'Im wierd and Im proud of it'. saying it doesn't matter what other people think or say, 'cuz i stand out. Being the minority is what Green Day has always done and will continue to do
3/11
Posted by Doodlebob on August 06 2009
Its about not listening to all things authority has to say about everything. It tells you that authority is not your friend and that you should differ from the majority. Be yourself.

This is like my freaking theme song. It's about not wanting to be a person that always fits in and is part of that majority that thinks alike and acts alike . Its about being your own person and standing out from the crowd and not being in line with the other idiots that look like they share a brain, no matter if that means being excluded from a group

Minority is about being an individual, and being proud of it. This song really speaks out to me, it reminds me of school and telling the teachers to fuck off and let me be who i am, not to try and mould me into the perfect pupil.

*my favorite song*
This song is about wanting to be different from the crowd, wanting to be the minority, not wanting to be like everyone else, being the "diamond in the rough", being the "single black dot on the white sheet of the cookie cutter versions of human beings", being DIFFERENT.

Waiting
Posted by Ana [Kerplunk!] on May 27 2009
Well,I have to say that's my favorite song, but, anyways, I remember I was trying to understand why it was. After thinking about it for a long time, I realised it's because this is the most human song of Green Day.Ok,now I explain why.He's talking about,the chances that we have in our lifes, in this puntual moments that we have to think "I don't fucking care!" and jsut do it, because if we just ignore this moment, we're going to "WAIT" during our lifes, until our death.You have to do it,and don't think about it.That's why it's my favorite song, and that's why is the most human song,because everyone in the world has to wonder about that almost everyday.
1/2
Posted by Brittany on May 26 2009
This song is really close to me, it's always been my favorite. To me, the song is about life giving you a chance or opportunity that you've waited for. Not necessarily something big, but just something that means something to you. Or that changes your life, even if it's in a small way. The reason I love it so much is because we're all waiting on something to happen, but most of us are too busy with what's going on to realize that all these small moments and opportunities are passing us by.

This one's about how people always get caught up in things that don't really matter that much, whether it's commercialism or something else, but that what you need to do is find and focus on the things in life that do actually matter, and take that road and find a new hope for yourself.

Macy's Day Parade is about how every aspect of our lives has become something to draw off of for commercialism and advertisements. Even our deaths ("stuffed in a coffin 10% more free") are used for profit. Also, Billie is saying that, even with all these advertisements and other shit in our lives, we still can't find what we really need - hope.
