JOE THE X-KID Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I like the ending, personally. I like it too, it's not messy. It' sounds like stage destruction and the end of a gig. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misterglasshalfempty Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Lately, I've had a newfound appreciation for Holiday, especially lyrically, with it's political undertones. And not to forget the fact that it's brilliant musically as well, and it just adds to the overall message of the song. My greatest wish for the future of Green Day is that it brings another song of this caliber. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chin for a Day Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Has anyone noticed how absolutely bizarre the lyrics to Fell For You are? First, I can't decide if he is admiring, or stalking. But, some of the lines just don't fit. I really could have done without the piss the bed line and what is up with making paper airplanes? Other than that, I like the song. Just don't get the paper airplanes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Certified Nimrod Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Don't forget that horrible messy ending. The ending is my favorite part of the song. Songs like She and Hauskinka (although that's a metaphor, the point stands) are respectful and understanding. Stuff on the Trilogy just seems like objectification for the most part. What's that a metaphor for? Just don't get the paper airplanes. Me neither. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it means he is just wasting time - yeah but it doesn't seem to fit - It's not one of my favourites - I always think billie has a mouthful of gum he needs to spit out.

Beerjeezus Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Regarding gum: "It's good for your vocal chords. Keeps ya luuubed up." - Billie Joe I just imagined him saying that and loled. Those paper planes must be a methaphor, otherwise it wouldn't make any sense. It might have something to do with wasting time or maybe he's trying to distract himself from thinking about the person he fell for and who's away. Or the whole song can be a methaphor and is not about a person at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My theory is it's that he's off on tour or something in a hotel room missing her and trying to get through the night, doing whatever to distract himself. Possibly with some wanking references in there lol. Like an updated 2000 Light Years Away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loveblondiebilliejoe Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) I feel like I can relate to 2000 Light Years Away when I'm in class and my crush is on the other side of the room like I'm invisible. That sounds kind of desperate but that's just me and my crazy teenage mind. Seriously though, if I just changed all the she's and her's in the song to he's and him's ,that song would describe my life perfectly. And since I have green eyes like Billie, I can relate to the malakite part too. Edited October 24, 2014 by loveblondiebilliejoe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post klytaemnestra Posted October 25, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 25, 2014 this isn't news or anything and not really threadworthy but i wanted to share, so:Ended up stuck in a room with the drummer for Green Day while he had sex with a girl on the kitchen table.I'll keep it short, since there are way better ones in this thread.Road trip w/ a friend in college circa 1997. Drove up the coast of California, stopping the last night in Berkeley. One of the roommates of the girl we were staying with was supposedly dating Tre Cool (we were dubious). It was finals week and no one wanted to go out, so we crashed early on the mattress they used as a couch. Around midnight or 1, Tre and this girl come crashing into the apartment and start making out on the kitchen counter, oblivious we were sleeping on the floor of the attached living room.They moved to the kitchen table, maybe 8 feet from us, and went at it. Street light shining in through the window made it all easy to see, but they probably didn't notice us. (My friend disagrees and thinks they knew and were into it.) Few minutes later, punk rock lovin complete, they got up and left the apartment. We laughed pretty much from that moment through the entire 2-day drive back.http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/2k6rxr/whats_the_tldr_of_your_best_story/cliikbcfucking wetting myself tbh. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing anyone says about Tre could ever surprise me, and I completely believe this. It's not like he'd care if people saw him having sex - he milked a dog straight into his coffee, you can't get much worse than that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Libertine Angel Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Yeah but did that really happen? There was an old documentary about their early days (made when AI just came out) that had a photo of him with the dog and the coffee, so I think so. I can't remember what it was though, as it came from a load of recorded documentaries on DVD off eBay, but I'll try and find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerjeezus Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Both sound equally unlikely I saw the photo of him milking the dog once, but don't remember where. I think the sex thing might be true. I mean, it wouldn't surprise me if it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNICORN VOMIT Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I didn't want to start a new topic but if GD were inducted into the hall of fame next year would that be enough incentive to tour or would they need an album to promote & tour.
