I am strung out on confusion, trapped inside a roll of dissolution.
Now GDA will never understand.
What's happening to me.
Yeah, I have no idea what's going on at this point. Must have got my threads crossed or something.
Wake Me Up When September Ends and Whatshername need to creep back into the set lists. Replace JOS wit those two now and then and I'd be happy.
Whatshername is the chilling finale to the wild ride that is American Idiot. Such a great tune, Arguably one of the best songs off their best record. It's up there. Letterbomb is the break up song, but Whatshername is the reaction to an entire lifetime of trouble, pain and lose. He's not just looking back and wondering about her. He's thinking about how HE used to be, how things used to be. How it wasn't the president, or Tunny or Amanda that was the idiot. It was him all along. The really interesting thing about it is that it sort of exists OUTSIDE the main narrative. He survived and moved on. He's not as broken as he was back during their fling, but now that he's fixed, where is she? She's taken another path as well and things can never go back to the way they were. She may not even remember him, the inauthentic drug addict from long ago. She may not even remember.
He's looking back at his youth and thinking about what could have been. What will never be. Life is better, but at the same time sadder. He keeps walking.
In the exasperations of Tre Cool (or Tunny) - GEESE. What was that? Now I gotta go listen to Whatshername at full volume and cry.
There's just something about American Idiot that makes me want to talk about it all day long.
