Favourite Line from a Green Day Song

iViva La Gloria! is a master piece song. :D

She smashed her knuckles into winter. As autumns wind fades into black.

She is the saint on all the sinners. The one that's fallen through the cracks.

And I've been obsessed with On the Ave. by PHGP.....that song is brilliant.

I know I go through phases where all I do is listen to that song. It's definately brilliant!

"red eye, code blue, I'd like to strangle you and watch your eyes bulge right out of your skull. when you go down headfirst into the ground, I'll stand above you just to piss on your grave."

When I'm pissed off, I cant help loving that.

same, my favourite line form the song :)

"i beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies"

-holiday

i always sing that to myself without realizing ...

haha I just realized I do that too. Those aren't my fave lyrics form the song though.

In 21 Guns, I love this lyric, but it's also made 100 times more effective by the way the music changes and the way Billie sings it:

"Did you try to live on your own

when you burned down the house and home?

Did you stand to close to the fire

Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone?"

Beautiful.

the line 'better than your lucky stars' from Waiting has always appealed to me...i can't really explain why!

"She's smashing knuckles into winter as autumn's wind fades into black. She is the saint of all the sinners, the one that's falling through the cracks. So don't put away your burning light."

Viva la Gloria! is the best song ever written. Thank you, Billie Joe.

Yeah that line gets me every time. You can hear it in his voice, too.

I really love those! And, to continue a conversation started on facebook, right now I'm really taken by:

I am the atom bomb

I am your chosen one.

This reminds me of the comment Billie made in one of the early mag articles about the album. He said something about how Adie worries about the end of the world, and then he said something like, "The problem is, I think she married the end of the world."

That's so funny, that comment stuck in my mind too and I keep thinking of it when I'm listening to the album! It sums up the characters of Gloria and Christian perfectly, he might as well have been talking about them! I guess it shows how much the characters really are a reflection of him. I love that about the album, the fact that he uses these characters doesn't get in the way of the songs being personal at all. It really feels like he's baring his soul.

The brutality of reality is the freedom that keeps me from dreaming

^^homecoming is the 2nd best song ever! lol :lol:

"Apathy has rained on me

Now I'm feeling like a soggy dream

So close to drowning but I don't mind

I've lived inside this mental cave

Throw my emotions in the grave

Hell, who needs them anyway."

Today I listened to Scattered for the first time in a while and remembered how much I love it. :happy:

"loose ends tied in knots leaving a lump down in my throat, gagging on a souveneir, lodged to fill another year..." <---that's from memory so I THINK it's right........

And Panic Song-

"torn out of reality to a state of no opinion, limp with hate," Cuz I know exactly what the fuck they're talking about. >.<

There are so many, but right now my favorite is

"Desperate, but not hopeless"

It's such a short line, but it's expressing quite a lot. I don't know how to explain it, I just feel personally connected to it.

"And she´s holding on my heart like a dandgrenade" from She´s a Rebel is good.

My friend is stuck in the line:

"I´m not stoned, I´m just fucked up,

I am so high I can´t stand up

I`m not cursed cuss I´ve been blessed

I`m not in love cus I´m a mess"

from before the lobotomy
