Clockwise Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Knowing how Billie sings and puts accents on certain words, it could easily be 'wild' 'weird' or 'wet'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 If Billie had a daughter this would be ten times more awkward, so I'm counting my blessings That was literally what I was thinking the whole way through Creepy old man Billie If it wasn't such a sweet song, I'd have thought Tré wrote it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaymee!! Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Aw man that sounds wonderful. I really enjoyed that!

DTH Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 english is not my first language (which is pretty obvious) but i interpret this song as a a comment about kid stars becoming famous way to early and the song shows the inside view of a creepy old pedophile stalkerish "fan".

gerardsangel4977 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Missing You and Brutal Love are both ballads, and they said this is the first time they started off an album with a ballad (the first song). Obviously it closes with one two, with at least two in the middle. So brace yourself. I hope they aren't too similar, this is really a chance for the band to show off its ability to diversify ballad-style writing. I don't think The Forgotten sounds anything like 21 Guns, despite both being rather simple piano ballads, so I'm not too concerned. Brutal Love is supposed to be gospel-ly... I have a feeling they'll all be quite different. But if they prove to be too similar, whatever, most Green Day rockin' songs sound alike anyway Ohhhh they changed/added lyrics? Exciting. Bleh, I was hoping they'd change this lyric. We've talked about it before in other threads, and I'm one of those people who is uncomfortable with it Yep. There's a whole third verse added on now. But otherwise, lyrical changes were minor. Also, for everyone who keeps mentioning the "daddy's little girl" line, it actually says "daddy's little bundle of joy". Same meaning, but waaay off in terms of actual wording. And if y'all think the latter is dirty or wrong, then I really don't want to know what goes on in your heads And, on that note, while I know people (especially guys) aren't generally comfortable discussing periods, I wouldn't say it's really creepy. It's just nature. And, historically and culturally-speaking, a universal symbol of womanhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anja Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I'm not gonna spoil the song for myself but hell, those must be the most awkward lyrics in a long time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spark in the night Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 nice, sweet song. Sounds a bit passive aggressive too. And very Bob Dylan-ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtdscape Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I remember when I was one of the first to ever hear this song at the Philly soundcheck in 2009. I'm so happy that it finally got properly recorded and put on an album. Love this so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malleus Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I get why a lot of you guys get this creepy, perverted vibe but I choose not to hear it like that. It's just an innocent and nice song to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just nature. And, historically and culturally-speaking, a universal symbol of womanhood. The funny thing is that I'm WILDLY comfortable discussing periods in ANY context, I just cringe with this lyric. That must mean it's effective, because he was obviously making a social commentary on how disturbing the whole hyper-sexualization of Hollywood girls is, and it freaking worked, because I want to kill myself when I hear that line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvrman Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Maybe, just maybe, it is time I got my record player out of the garage and connected it all together again.

DTH Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 the emphasized parts give me this idea of the song meaning.... She is my drama queen She is so wild and reckless There goes my drama queen She dangles from her necklace Daddy's little bundle of joy Out of a magazine There goes my drama queen She's old enough to bleed now There goes my drama queen Her life has now unfolded There goes my drama queen Well do you think she's holding? There goes my drama queen Well did she find her savior? There goes my drama queen She better call a lawyer Daddy's little bundle of joy Out of a magazine There goes my drama queen She's old enough to bleed now She's old enough to bleed now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blitzkriegdeb Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Hasn't it been said that Drama Queen was about like, alot of women (especially young women) growing up in the Hollywood scene and such? Like, here you have "daddy's little girl", a young woman who grows up under the spotlight and eventually that same spotlight corrupts her? At least that's what I always thought the song to be about.

green day is Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I just wanted to know if it's a full band song so i played myself a few seconds and accidentally played the solo section but nice to know it's just billie and guitar (AND SOLO!) but not listening, just those 4 seconds were good enough to wait I think you played the wrong four seconds, cause this is a full band song.
