| OutKast – Roses (feat. Big Boi) Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
The "Roses really smell like boo-boo" line is not a reference to a vagina. It is a play on the phrase "She thinks her shit smells like roses," which means that she thinks she's so much better than everyone else, that even her shit smells good. Andre is saying that roses smell like "boo-boo" (shit), so her shit smells like shit Also, I think the line is "No go on the raw sex? My AIDS test is flawless" as opposed to what's up there. |

The different parts to this song: Vade Mecum - The intro part, before the lyrics with the coqui frogs Pour Another Icepick - All the lyrics Pisacis (Phra-Men-Ma) - The part right after the lyrics when the beat changes Con Safo - The part at the end of the song that has the same beat and guitar part as the end of Cygnus...Vismund Cygnus. |

In case this hasn't been posted before: Sarcophagi- "The ocean floor is hidden..." to "The seeds sprout a lachrymal cloud" Umbilical Syllables- " Niño preparate" to "Will they feed us the womb" Facilis Descenus Averni - "Bring me this plague" to "There sweats a cut" The chorus here ("who do you trust?") transitions to Con Safo, which is the rest of the song, and has no lyrics. |

| Does anyone know where the movement lines are in this song? (ie where Tarantism becomes Plant A Nail... and where that becomes Faminepulse etc) | |

| Green Day – Too Much Too Soon Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| This song sounds more like an epilogue to the album. "Whatsername" (the song) shows how Jimmy/ Jesus has moved on after going out, and this song tealks about Whatsername's life after Jimmy. | |
| Green Day – Shoplifter Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
This song sounds like it was originally part of Homecoming on the American Idiot. Apparently, Homecoming was supposed to be 10 minutes long, and it falls just short. It probably went in between The Death of St. Jimmy and East 12th Street, because in E 12th St., Jimmy/Jesus is caught for doing something, and it would definitely complete the story. Anyways...I kinda like this song. It's not great, but it's catchy and the lyrics are funny. |

I guess I'll analyze the entire album here...that is if I don't give up midway through. I'm gonna try to look at it only for the plot, not the symbolism... To start, the main character's name is JIMMY, and he has 2 aliases: Jesus of Suburbia and St. Jimmy. 1.) American Idiot: I'm not sure how this song fits into the plot. My guess is that Jimmy is sick of American society, and wants change. Everyone he knows is an American Idiot, and he wants to be different. 2.) Jesus of Suburbia: This track describes Jimmy's hometown persona, Jesus of Suburbia. He is basically an average teenager. He experiments with drugs, and has a little group that he is the head of. He starts to relize the ignorance of his town in "I Don't Care." In "Dearly Beloved," he talks to someone (possibly himself as St. Jimmy) about his problems, how everyone expects him to be perfect ("Nobody's perfect and I stand accused"). He decides to leave his town (called Jingletown, USA) in "Tales of Another Broken Home." 3.) Holiday: Jimmy finds himself in a city, and realizes that it, too, has problems of its own. He is in the middle of a protest against "President Gasman." He sees that the president is telling America lies, and wants to defy them. Included in the song is an excerpt of a hypothetical speech from the "Governator," starting with "Zeig heil to the President Gasman..." 4.) Boulevard of Broken Dreams: Jimmy leaves the protest, and finds himself walking through the crowded streets of the city, but somehow alone. He says it's "home to me" but also wishes "someone up here will find me." It shows the formation of St. Jimmy (I'm walking down the line/ That divides me somewhere in my mind.) 5.) Are We the Waiting: A continuation of BLVD of Broken Dreams, Jimmy is now truly alone on the streets suring the night. He is now between his town persona, Jesus of Suburbia, and his city ego, St. Jimmy. He decides that his town life was a lie, and becomes St. Jimmy. The track is supposed to be written on Easter Sunday, making it a reference to the Christians waiting for the Second Coming of the messiah, as Jimmy is waiting for his savior. 6.) St. Jimmy: This is the introduction of St. Jimmy, who is not a different person. He is the same person as Jesus of Suburbia. St. Jimmy iks more edgy and punk. He is arrogant, but a good, rebellious leader. He also does a lot of drugs. 7.) Give Me Novacaine: A song about drugs. Jimmy is trying to retain his St. Jimmy ego, and is taking more drugs to repress Jesus of Suburbia. Eventually, he is successful. 8.) She's a Rebel: Jimmy meets Whatsername, who is the rebellious spirit he craves. She is a pparently known "from Chicago, to Toronto" (which really isn't a long distance). She steals his heart and is now holding on to it "like a hand grenade." 9.) Extraordinary Girl: Jimmy and Whatsername start goind out. Jimmy really likes her, and finds out a lot about her. Even though she is tough on the outside, she really has a lot of problems, and cries when she's alone. This also might be due to relationship problems. 10.) Letterbomb: Whatsername dumps Jimmy in a letter. She tells him how the city is not rebellious enough for her. She also tell him he's lost his identy, and both his alteregos are false. In the end, she leaves the city to move elsewhere. 11.) Wake Me Up When September Ends: Jimmy is sad that Whatsername left. The summer months he spent with her are over, and now he is trying to move on. It also has to do with the fact that BJ Armstrong's dad died in September; hence the line "20 years have gone so fast." 12.) Homecoming: In the first part, Jimmy "kills" his St. Jimmy persona. He then gets a job, which he hates. He has no one at home, as everyone has moved on. He tries convincing everyone he is cool in "Rock and Roll Girlfriend." In the end, he basically says, "Screw it, I'll see you all in hell, I'm going home." 13. Whatsername: Jimmy reminises on the past, remembering the good times he has with his ex-girlfriend. He still likes her, but he is trying to forget. He ends up forgetting who she was, but not the times they spent together. That is the plot of American Idiot. Please leave any questions, comments, or rude remarks on this board. I will probably forget to ever look at them, but what the hell. Thank you, you've been great. |

| Less Than Jake – The Ghosts of Me and You Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| This is probably the best song off the new cd. It's all avout moving on with life, but not forgetting the past. The narrator's friend left him...and he's walking where they used to go together and remember all the great times they had. | |
| Taking Back Sunday – You're So Last Summer Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I'm not sure if anyone else has mentioned this, but during the "If I'm just bad news..." part, the line "Maybe I should hate you for this" is repeated in the background. In the last for "If I'm just bad news..." the line "If only you knew half as much as you pretend to" is said | |
| Red Hot Chili Peppers – Coffee Shop Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| This song might have Seinfeld references....I think it was accidental. The chorus has two lines "Meet me at the coffee shop" and "Another go in the parking lot" (reference to an episode where the Seinfeld crew spend the entire time looking for their car) which could be references. Just a thought.... | |
| Red Hot Chili Peppers – Savior Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I believe this song is about John. He left the band in 1993, and they were glad to have him back for this album. | |
