Another Single off American Idiot (I'm continuing my review of the album song-by-song). This is the song that originally got my attention. It used to be my favorite track. Unfortunately, it has been over plyaed, so it is a little cliched. It's still a great song, however.
Like the other singles, it doesn't do much for the plot of the album. This one is about feeling alone in the world. Some have said it is a little political, meaning that the government has abandoned us. I don't go that far--it is more about feeling alone.
It's still a very good song.
------------------------
Some more comments. This is the failure of dreams (specifically the American Dream). It's also about being alone in the world. In this case, Jesus of Suburbia is realizing that he is alone, and the world isn't always a great place.
As for the song itself, I'm pretty bored of it (thank you radio...) It's still a good track next comming immediately after the up-beat Holiday. This song shows good emotions, although it is on the edge of over-doing it.
