The Disco Before the Breakdown Lyrics

Cover art for The Disco Before the Breakdown lyrics by Against Me!

im pretty sure its about a gay relationship but i think its an unspoken thing. i think gabel had it in his head when he was writing it but never actually brought it forward and said "gay rights ftw" or anything. this is one of my favorite songs of all time. if im in the right mood and i hear this song and i get really into it im almost in tears of joy just hearing it. the reason why i dont think its just an ordinary straight couple who people dont like together is because it simply doesnt make sense. tom gabel doesnt write love songs out of thin air, theyre either really personal to him or have some strings attached and as far as i know gabel has always been real anti homophobic.
