while billie has said that jesus meets st. jimmy, i do like the multiple personality theory the best. Letterbomb and the Death of St. Jimmy really support it as does the timing of St. Jimmy on the album after Jesus denounced himself as the Jesus of Suburbia |

here's a question: In The Death of St. Jimmy, when it says "He says we're fucked up but we're not the same." Is it implying that Jimmy says "We're fucked up" and Jesus says "we're not the same" or is Jimmy saying "We're fucked up but we're not the same." The lyric book with the cd has 'We're fucked up' in quotes but the rest of it isn't. |

i downloaded the single yesterday and i thought the song was alright at best but it definetly grew on me by the third listening, i started to love this song. The two albums should be awesome. It sounds like it is how a very "cocky" person or group sees himself or themself. |

more proof in this song about the returning home to find your heart thing would be in Part 5: "Like a desperation murmur of a heart beat." Jesus has lost his heart since Whatsername was "Holding onto (his) heart like a hand grenade." In Boulevward, Jesus said "My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating." His heart is all he had at the start of his journey and without that, there is little reason to continue it. |

By the end of the album, in Homecoming, Jesus starts asking for people to care (when Jimmy kills himself). Also: his town's motto: "Home is where the heart is" may be one of the reasons Jesus returns home in "Homecoming." The first line of Homecoming is "My heart is beating from me" meaning he's losing it, so by returning home, he might get it back. |

When Jesus asks if anybody cares, I think this drastically contrasts Jesus in "Jesus of Suburbia" when he claimed that he didn't care that nobody cared. Also, the line "my heart is beating from me" brings up another heart reference (which is brought up several times on the album). It could perhaps be referring to his old town's motto and his old viewpoint on it: "'Home is where the heart is'... but what a shame cause everyone's heart doesn't beat the same. It's beating out of time." Perhaps since he is losing his heart, he returns home now believing the old town's motto. |

Whatsername could be "America," in keeping up with the political stance of the first half of the album. In "She's A Rebel," when you replace She with "America," it almost seems fitting. Whatsername is probably an allegory of all that is morally right with America while St. Jimmy is all that is wrong. Jesus sided with Jimmy, Whatsername left. Jimmy destroyed himself, leaving Jesus alone and destroyed as well. |
