See the Light Lyrics

Cover art for See the Light lyrics by Green Day

Why not end off with a revelation? The progression of this album has brought the disillusionment of blind patriotism and blind faith into reality, false ideals which couldn't be sustained. Why not ask for the truth? All that is pure and good.

All the talk about rivers and water, generally make me think about baptism, rebirth, and the forgiveness of the self.

This is the appropriate way to end things. It doesn't have to be spiritual, but it does have to represent real change. This is the follow-up to American Idiot I expected, more ambitious, but possibly too abstract. I will look into it deeper in the weeks to come...
