Wow, I never realized how terrible those lyrics are... the umbrella/storm metaphor is the only one that's (barely) worth a shit, besides the line they ripped off for Amanda.
Time for a shiny new thread for all you horrible people (me included) to whine about Green Day. The last thread was getting pretty repetitive and far too big. As ever, keep it civil and on-topic. The last thread caused more than its fair share of arguments, but as long as you don't act like an asshat we shouldn't have a problem.
The old thread can be found here.
Enjoy!
Yeah I quite liked State of Shock. Very obviously not finished, and yet even in its not finished state, it's better than a fair amount of the Trilogy songs Also it contains one of my favourite lines from the whole era 'We all want to go to heaven but no-one wants to die' Which apparently wasn't even written by Billie, but there you go
That's what I think. I like it a lot and I think there's something really interesting/unique for Green Day-sounding about it that I'm sure would be more prominent on a finished version.
