Gregorovich Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I see 'She's old enough to bleed now' as intentionally ambiguous. There are certainly at least three or four main ways to interpret it, two of which are pretty messed up, but I think that's the point the song is trying to get across.

San Miguel Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 i really like this song weird that they didn't change the pressings for the song switchover but still it's a great song. i'm glad they did switch over as stray heart fits nicely on Dos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianbags Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I see that there's an ongoing debate regarding the line "She's old enough to bleed now." Am i the only one who has thought that this may just be a metaphor for how she is old enough to be put in the public spotlight and that she is old enough to deal with the consequences? You know, that she's able to stand on her own and take a few punches? I see this a much more likely interpretation given that this song is about young women/girls growing up in the spotlight. Anyone? I believe this song is a song about young girls growing up in public, and being pushed in to the spotlight way to early (i.e before she is really "old enough to bleed"/take care of her self), and with the narrator telling the story from the point of view of the father/parents. I don't really know whether the father is regretting seeing is little girl going away in to the spotlight, or if he is the one sending her out to early, rationalizing that she's old enough. Anyway, I hope I made sense, and that my point came across as somewhat coherent. Since it's so blatant and completely makes sense with teenage girls' "bleeding", I don't see a reason to interpret it any other way. It's just a little weird.

It's just a little weird. I don't think it's so black and white. Billie likes to make use of metaphors and whatnot; things shouldn't be taken so literally.

EastCaitNowhere Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 not a bad song, would've been nice if I saved it for Tre though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clockwise Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I loved it in 09, and I love it even more now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnout409 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I've heard the live version of the song from a few years back a lot, and i've listened to the studio version a fair bit the last few day and well i think its a really good song. I think from what i know its gonna go nicely on Tre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregorovich Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Hmm, that article's really interesting. Anybody know why it didn't make 21st Century Breakdown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whatsinaname Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I dedicated this song to my teenage daughter. Mommy's little bundle of joy who thinks she is out of a magazine. So many interpretations of these lyrics. I guess it depends on what stage of life you are in at the moment. Green Day's lyrics are universal. I am the Jesus of Suburbia btw!

Todd Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Hmm, that article's really interesting. Anybody know why it didn't make 21st Century Breakdown? Because Billie wrote Murder City last minute and switched them cause there was no more room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooooooooooooom Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Interesting how he said he wasn't sure about Horseshoes & Handgrenades (which is awesome) but they chose instead to drop Drama Queen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perfectpitchrob Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Hmm, that article's really interesting. Anybody know why it didn't make 21st Century Breakdown? My guess is that they couldn't get Drama Queen to fit into 21CB's storyline so it was dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mar Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 It just sounds so weird (not bad) being so long! But it's sweet. Not too sappy; it perfectly captures the essence of the song I've grown to love since '09. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yojimbo Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I want to know why this song was supposed to be on DOS. I get that they switched it at the last second but why put it there in first place? It doesn't sound very nugget-sy, party or garage-rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Dude Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 So does the the tracklist say "drama queen" or "stray heart" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Hart Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 So does the the tracklist say "drama queen" or "stray heart" ? Stray heart of course.. but maybe on vinyl is Drama Queen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanity Loan Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 So does the the tracklist say "drama queen" or "stray heart" ? The vinyl track listing on the back says "Drama Queen" I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmycon Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Stray heart of course.. but maybe on vinyl is Drama Queen... Nope. The vinyl lists Drama Queen as Track 7 on Side Tres. It's also printed on the label and its lyrics are on the insert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
