She screams in silence
A sullen riot penetrating through her mind
Waiting for a sign
To smash the silence with the brick of self-control
That's been planned out for you?
Are you feeling like a social tool without a use?
Scream at me until my ears bleed
I'm taking heed just for you
She's figured out
All her doubts were someone else's point of view
Waking up this time
To smash the silence with the brick of self-control
That's been planned out for you?
Are you feeling like a social tool without a use?
Scream at me until my ears bleed
I'm taking heed just for you

this is the song about my life... My parents have always wanted me to achieve all the things they never achieved... All my dreams and goals that I thought were really mine, turned out to be theirs... they implanted everything into me... and one day I realized that no, this is not what I want.
That's the way urbanSKOOLreject, you gotta do things YOUR way, it's YOUR life. :)

ahhh remember when the radio would play songs that were not singles off albums? They sure as hell did that with Dookie, and deservedly so. Too bad all we hear nowadays is the same 5 songs that we already hear on MTV, mountain dew commercials, and every other room in a college dorm.
God Damn!!! It's 2010 and this is STILL FUCKING HAPPENING!!!!!!! Shit...

BTW, love this song :)
BTW, love this song :)
this song was such a turning point in my life... the girl in this song WAS me... every word of the song completely describes how i was... the first time i heard it, i knew i had finally been saved. yes, i know how corny it is, but it's true. just listening to billie joe saying "scream at me, until my ears bleed, i'm taking heed JUST FOR YOU" it was the first time i ever felt like someone out there understood what i was feeling... haha im so pathetic... but i owe every ounce of the confidence i have in myself today, to green day. dookie saved my life. (yeah it sounds deep and emotional but dont worry i dont take them too seriously... i took their "fuck you" attitude to heart and that has made all the difference :) ) i'm happy again, thank you green day!
2 b honest I wouldn't describe this song as corny in the slightest, and you're wrong when u said u were pathetic. That's the great thing about Green Day's music; Billie Joe was, and still is, in my opinion, the torchbearer for the troubled youth of the world. When Dookie was released, he was widely regarded as the person to succeed Kurt Cobain as GenX spokesman, but I think both their influences stretch down much further. ROCK ON.

i think its about someone with a lack of self-confidence, everyone always putting her down, so much that she starts believing them but then realizes that she doesn't have to care what they think and finally makes a break through in her own life and sees things the way she wants to. just my thought though.. everyones opinion seems to fit well
I think this song is probably the other side of the conversation with "Basket Case".
Not explicitly, but that's the subject matter.
To me it's about growing up with parents or a legal guardian who forced their views & expectations onto you instead of allowing you to make your own choices. Furthermore, it's about feeling suffocated & unable to think or exist for yourself because you've never known what it's like to be free thinking.
this is an amazn song love it i gess it's like about a girl paranoid about wat otha people think probly been hurt by too many people. now mayb she gets away from those people and realises that she doesn't have to care wat they think. that every time she hated herself it was bcos they told her she wasn't good enuf. don't eva change urself 4 other people cos u will neva b happy
this song is awesome one of my favorite green day and overall songs...i was thinkin the same thing as wendyclear...about a paranoid girl who thinks bad things about what she thinks everyone else's view of her are :homer:
this is a quality song overshadowed i think by basketcase on dookie. its an amazing song though
Indeed it is overshadowed. Even though this song was released as a single from Dookie, I do think it is the least famous from the five singles that were yielded from this legendary album.

I love this song, its my all-time favourite... my theme tune!:)
