| The Stone Roses – Breaking Into Heaven Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| i personally think this songs about the apocalypse, like if satan was telling some newcomer to hell that nobody leaves alive and that everyone dies in the end and that hes going to break into heaven and cause and angel-againzt-demon war | |

OK, imma explain the story for the people that dont quite understand it... The story begins 23 February in which the Jesus of Suburbia, an average American teen, is tired of watching the media, the manipulation thru television, about the lies account of the Bush administration about the Iraq War, the stereotypical view of his country that sees in the world, because of a villager president and creates hysteria among the population that follows, not feeling like a fool nor the "faggot" America.. (1.American Idiot). Jesus of Suburbia lives with his divorced mother and her boyfriend, Brad, in a fictional neighborhood called Jingletown. His childhood was spent on a "steady diet of soda pop and Ritalin" watching TV, and experimenting with drugs and alcohol (2 - I. Jesus of Suburbia). During the month of March JOS, sick and tired with his life in Jingletown,decides that this is not his place (2 - II. City of the Damned) Feeling neglected and betrayed by their hypocritical "friends forever" (III. I Don ' t Care) and the effect it produces in his mind, he must go to a psychologist to fill his spiritual emptiness (2 - IV. Dearly Beloved). Jesus concludes that it can not keep living like this (To live, and not to breathe, Is to die in tragedy) and decides to flee his neighborhood and head for"The City" (2 - V. Tales of Another Broken Home). Once he arrives at "The City" on April 1, having to sleep on the street during a rainy day and living the reality of people like him does not believe in the truth that they sell on TV and the repression that security means do about it. (3.Holiday) For a month, Jesus is lonely despite the population of "The City", where he wanders at night, looking for someone to talk to and discover that there is a boundary in his mind and his life was a lie Jingletown (4. Boulevard of Broken Dreams, 5. Are We The Waiting), so he decides to make a change in his personality. Adopting the personality of his alter ego, acting as a punk, unruly and violent: Saint Jimmy (6. St. Jimmy). Due to the loneliness and lack of resources he makes a living out of stealing food and being discovered more than once, having to pay hours of community service. Subsequently, the anger-driven personality of his alter ego makes him addicted to drugs to forget his loneliness (7. Give Me Novacaine). During celebrations of the Independence of the United States, (July 4) Jimmy meets a girl who's name nobody knows so she's called, Whatsername. Jimmy was fascinated at first sight, apparently she was a real rebel, not someone pretending to be someone who is not really (8. She's a Rebel). Acting as "St. Jimmy", he starts dating her and eventually they fall in love, but he is unable to give her what she really needs due to his own insecurity, but she proves to be a sensitive girl in private, pretending to be someone who is not because she is afraid of hurting him . (9. Extraordinary Girl). Together they live for some time out of the unemployment money, although she is tired of the life they lead, in a letter to Jesus/Jimmy, Whatsername expresses her frustration, and tells him that she is leaving him and "The City" before it destroys both of them(10. Letterbomb). With his heart broken, Jesus falls a dark period of depression(11. Wake Me Up When September Ends) and decides to leave the identity of St. Jimmy, faking a suicide in the Bay on 19 October (12 -I. The Death of St. Jimmy). Then he ends up prisoner in a police station and when he gets out he gets a job but ultimately realizes that its no his destiny(12. Part II - 12 East Street). One night when he stays until the morning watching TV with the hope that Whatsername will come back... then he realizes that she has abandoned him and feels rejected by society(12. Part III - Nobody Likes You). After receiving a postcard from his friend Tunny telling him that he has succeeded in life (12. Part IV - Rock and Roll and Girlfriend) decides to go home with his mother (Part V. We 're Coming Home Again) and resume his old life and erase his memories except for whatsername whom he will remember forever (13-Whatsername), to start a new life in the place where he belongs |

| wake me up when september ends its like the outsider song in the album, since according to BJ it has absolutely nothing to do with the story of the album... but just to "fit in" with the concept, the songs tells that JOS and Whatsername broke up, so he gets depressed and attempts suicide... but he fails and goes in some sort of coma for some time (a whole month) obviously in september | |
| Green Day – Homecoming Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
ok, first of all, Jimmy is the real name of jesus of suburbia, the letter is from a friend of Jimmy (Tunny) telling him that he has been successful in life after JOS left Jingletown. reading the letter makes JOS realize that its time to grow up and to stop whining for his problems instead of resolving them, so he decides to come home again and start over, to do things right this time... oh and the song Whatsername is nothing but JOS remembering whatsername and saying like: "man you where such a fucking IDIOT (forgive the repetition) for letting her go..." |

| Green Day – Homecoming Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| thats exactly what i thought... i think that the only thing comparable to what Pink Floyd did with "The Wall" is what Billie and company did with "American Idiot" | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – Galapogos Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| this song is about growing up and accepting that you are a teenager and no longer a kid... and taking the consequences of your new responsabilities | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – Here Is No Why Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| i dont know if you guys noticed this, but HERE IS NO WHY is (or could be) an anagram to WHINY HEROES like kurt cobain, he was the leader of a generation but sadly, he was too weak (mentally and physically with the time because of the drugs) to handle it... or it could also be a self-personality exam from billy to the 18 year old billy, since in that time he believed himself a hero for being in a goth-rock band but he actually was disappointed with his life expectations... º | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – We Only Come Out at Night Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| or... it could also refer to teenagers (like me) that go out ,maybe even escape of their houses, to gather and hang out with friends during the night because they do stuff that in the day would get them in trouble, and then they pretend that they are good kids and did nothing wrong.. btw by "stuff that would get them in trouble" i dont mean crimes, i mean drinking (well thats a crime), drug use, sex, and maybe some vandalism... (all right most of those are crimes but you get the point).... | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – We Only Come Out at Night Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| vampires... isnt it fucking obvious...? | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – Quiet Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| for me this songs is billys point of view on Judaism since the verse says: We are the fossils, the relics of our time, it could refer to the fact that judaism is a really antique religion and the chorus saying: be ashamed of the mess you've made, my eyes never forget you see, could mean that maybe thats god saying: "this is unforgivable" referring to the original sin... and finally the verse of Jesus, are you listening, could be interpreted as the Jews saying: God send us the messiah pleas! (thats because according to the Torá, the jewish sacred book, the messiah hasnt come yet, unlike the christians who insted, are expecting the second coming of jesus9.... | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – Zero Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| the line: "intoxicated with the madness, Im in love with my sadness" i think says that he is afraid of a change because he feels that since being alone (the madness) is now part of his personality (intoxicated), any change would turn him into something he isnt... i can SO relate to this line | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – To Forgive Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| i think this song is about a man who is a bastard son, and this man also had a bastard son and this bastard son got killed or died and now he feels guilty for not protecting him... also maybe the kid died because he did something he didnt knew it would kill him, like a fool, he forgot to hold back the fool... | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – Here Is No Why Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| yeah i also think its about himself, but it could be about both him and kurt who knows... | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – Here Is No Why Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| to me this songs about Billy old-self during his Goth-rock years, when he used to look like a member of Kiss and wanted to be a rockstar.... | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – Lily (My One and Only) Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| thats what i first thought but then i listened just a for a second and i realized it was the hole way around | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – Lily (My One and Only) Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| It reminds me of American Pie... | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – Lily (My One and Only) Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| in that case if the dude is actually crazy then maybe "Lily" is nothing but a product of his imagination.... | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – Lily (My One and Only) Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| or maybe some of you fellas are right and this song as about a guy who is crazy (but i mean CLINICALLY crazy) and that goes inside a house to do "his thing" and gets arrested by the cops... in that case this song is a masterpiece just like Today, combining sweet, innocent and happy music with creepy, angry and depressive lyrics... this one is my favorite | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – Bodies Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| the line love is suicide reveals the hole meaning of the song, its (the way i see it) about a man who discovers her lover cheating on him and kills himself.... sad but brilliant | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – Bodies Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| This album is a soundtrack to adolescence | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – For Martha Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| My mom and my dad are divorcing right now so this song means a lot to me, the first time i listen to it i broke down to tears | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – Lily (My One and Only) Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| i think its about a guy who has a girlfriend but the parents wont let them get together so, one night he climbs to a tree and comes into the house to see her, then the parents find out and call the cops.... its pretty funny its like a scene from American Pie | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – F.O.L. Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| this songs about revenge, i mean its obvious the first verse is about accepting your mistakes and leaving what you have suffered in the PAST, then the line come on an feel our love, is like saying: "come here so then i can beat the fuck out of you".... | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – Drown Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| im not very sure BUT i think this songs about Billy's younger brother Jessey, youll see Billy spent a good part of his youth protecting and taking care of Jessey (since he suffers from slight mental retardation) so maybe this songs about billy saying to his brother: it doesnt matter where you are ill always be there for you... | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – Bullet with Butterfly Wings Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| this songs about feeling like you are trapped and you cant get out | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – Ava Adore Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| for me this songs about the relationship between billy's parents | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – Farewell and Goodnight Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| such a beautiful song, such a simple meaning: MCIS is a concept album about the cycle of life and death... so if you listen to this song and the you listen to MCIS(song not the album) you will notice that this song ends with the same piano piece that Mellon Collie starts with.... if you dont get it yet ill clear it 4 ya, this song is about death and about the bittersweet taste of it, on one side you are sad cuz a loved person just died, but in the other hand you could be happy for that person cuz it means that its a new beginning for that person (in case you believe in God)... | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – Silverfuck Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| im not sure but i think its like a synonymous of rape, youll see, silver is the color of a knife right? and fuck, well you know what that means.... i think its pretty clear how the words relate | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – Silverfuck Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
i think this is about a man that is really angry (explains the aggressiveness of the song) because he feels like he is not good enough for his lover but at the same time he doesnt really care about her, even though he regrets that later on: i hear your winter: i feel your indifference I hear your rain: i hear you crying Ive failed your summer ways: Ive failed to make you happy (summer relates to happiness) And i feel no pain: I dont give a fuck i hear what you want and i feel that way: she wants to be happy but hates him now and wants him to die (for example) and he (depressed) also wants to die. I hear you fade away: i see you go away (they broke up) And I hear you crawl: he knows she is sad I gave my life away: he feels that he deserves something better and i feel no pain(x3): he, again, doesnt give a damn. and i feel your pain: he's starting to regret for what he has done And she was my lover so sweet: he is remembering her And she was my angel: he felt safe around her And what I've recovered of me: what he has learned of this relationship I put into a box underneath my bed: he will use it in a future relationship When you lie in your bed: when you think you are safe And you lie to yourself: you are in danger Lie Lie (note: in this part of the lyrics he is remembering the bad things about his lover and for the emphasis on the word lie its probable that it refers to her cheating him.) Bang bang you're dead hole in your head(x4): you are now dead to me and the final chorus is just to fill the empty spaces.... |
|
| The Smashing Pumpkins – Silverfuck Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| i think that the thing he recovered was experience to use in a future relationship | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – Ava Adore Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| its about a boy thats forcing a girl to love him, but the girl doesnt want to | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – United States Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| very simple meaning, this song is a story (to me) about a man who is ungrateful with the US modern society, and decides to do a revolution, then he forms an army with the american citizens and destroys the US government, so then a new america can be born | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – Muzzle Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| for me this song is about a man in the end of his life who reflects on his life and his memories | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – Cupid De Locke Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| well you'll see billy has this weird habit of naming his songs with misspelled words, i dont know why he does it but anyway... cupid de locke = cupid the lucky | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – Doomsday Clock Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| the meaning is pretty clear and easy to understand... its about a catastrophe. in my personal opinion this song is about war | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – Eye Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| i just love this song (even though i think that electronic music is a curse), going down to business i think that this songs about a man who feels that he is not good enough to his lover | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – Geek U.S.A. Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| so did i i mean the first time i heard this song i thought it was billys point of view about the creation and the expulsion of Adam and Eva from Paradise... | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – Tonight, Tonight Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| this song says (to me): past is past, there were bad moments in the past and there will be in the future, but you must believe in yourself and in the ones you love and the ones that love you, so then you can survive those moments and be happy at last... | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – Plume Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| billy did no drugs, im pretty sure of it cuz in an interview he said that when he was a kid he constantly saw his dad either high or drunk and during his teenage years he decided that he wanted nothing to do with drugs or alcohol | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – Plume Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| this song its easy to understand when you are a teenager... its about being bored and having nothing to do in a beautiful day | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – Geek U.S.A. Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| im not very sure but i think this song is about a junkie during and after a cocaine trip, that explains the speed and the energy of the song at the beginning sense coke makes you get euphoric when you use it, and after the effects passes (during the breakdown of the song) you feel calm and peace, then (when the song goes back to its normal intensity) the junkie is sober and finally when the tempo changes and billy sings "she really needs to break" it means that the junkie is in the need of another shot and says that he loves the drug (we really love the usa) | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – Mayonaise Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I think this song is about being a teenager and the struggle and confusion during the adolescence about who you really are "fool enough to almost be it": means that to society you are dumb enough to be yourself. "cool enough to not quite see it": means that you dont realize who you really are and finally the phrase: I JUST WANT TO BE ME, explains the hole sense of the song, its the need of freedom about your ideas and your personality |
