Longview Lyrics

Lyric discussion by bigdnumber3 

Cover art for Longview lyrics by Green Day

This song is actually about the lead singers fight with Agrophobia which is the fear of leaving your house. The lyrics are very telling of this and the singer was treated for this mental illness. People that suffer from this disorder dont want to be stuck at the house but feel they have to be. "In a house with unlocked doors" is just one lyric that gives you insight. He also compares his house to a prison and the line about masterbating so much that its not fun shows the length of time he was mentally locked in his house. Read the lyrics carefully and you will see. You can also look up the singer to find out. Who would have known...

Song Meaning

You must have meant agoraphobia (fear of open spaces). I've never heard of agrophobia, but I'd guess it's fear of agriculture.

@bigdnumber3 Billie Joe Armstrong didn't suffer from agoraphobia. He had panic attacks but not a fear to leave the house. Don't know where you got that from.

@bigdnumber3 he's going to paradise.. You're wrong..
