I agree with davidecoyote but i also think theres something else. I believe that yes, all the songs on American Idiot, are in referance to eachother- that it tells a story, but i also think that each song can be individually depicted. This song is what made me realize this.
As you all provobly know, This is a political CD with what we have also figured out, a twist of personal experience and emotion towards what we can only imagine or identify through the lyrics. But as i already commented, i think the songs can stand alone and tell a completly differnt story. I think that, "She's a rebel," not only is what davidecoyote has to say, but on the other hand, is speaking about America...
"America's a rebel,
America's a saint,
America's the salt of the earth,
America's Dangerous.
America's a rebel,
America's vigilante,
AMERICA IS THE MISSING LINK ON THE BRINK OF DISTRUCTION.
America is the one they call "Old WHATSHERNAME".....
**and America's holding on my heart like a handgrenade
America is the basis of the CD, america is who we are. We make up America, Therefore, we are all the rebels, and we are all the saints, and the nations views are holding on his heart like a handgrenade. He is just trying to tell us how effected he is by politics and our America's decisions.
