Jimmy is holding her up on a pedestal, as most guys do to the girl their in love with Whatsername doesn't want Jimmy, she likes what he was, who he should be. This song actually has A LOT of depth. Jimmy is a figment of, your fathers rage and your mother's love, your now the idiot America He's not Jesus anymore, he left who he was because he was scared. Jimmy is just an alter-ego made up by all Jesus had when he was growing up Wake Me Up Basically, what does Jimmy have left, Whatsername is gone Obviously this takes place in September, and he's hoping that everything will be better by October The Death of St.
Jimmy - So what does sad, little, left with nothing St. Jimmy do? Jimmy is how Jesus spent most of his life, it was how he learnt how to live, love, and believe. Basically, the alter-ego St. Jimmy was the only thing he could turn to when Jesus was alone, dreamless, hopeless, so it's what he became.
Jimmy was infact not an alter-ego of what Jesus becomes, but infact was his sort of 'guide' out in the world, think about the last lines East 12th Street - This is what Jesus is now, no St.
Jimmy, he is now just Jesus Nobody Likes You - What do you think Jesus is the American Idiot with nothing to do but drink coffee and watch spike tv Rock and Roll Girlfriend - I don't know when or where this fits in exactly, but I know it does cuz everything does. I'm tired of everyone saying this song sucks, it's not Green Day, blah blah blah I personally like it I think it sounds old school jazz rocky!
Jimmy, which Jesus's friends probably still believe he goes by Whatsername - Some would think that the last song would be the conclusion, but in this case, i don't believe it is. All Jesus is doing is remebering Whatsername That's my opinion, in short, it's a story about not running from your problems There was an error. General Comment The majority of people in America follow the same ideology that is spewed from the mouths of politicians who are really just the voice of special interest groups and serve a specific agenda for their own benefit, and they get this information from biased media.
People say that the media can't brainwash you but it most certainly can, after all our brain processes what our eyes see so all of the advertising and subliminal messages in media work when we are constantly processing this information in our brains. What we see and hear lingers in our brains and it can influence your thoughts. The Bush Administration wanted the panic, tension, and fear implemented on the masses in order to throw away the constitution in the name of terrorism and "protecting" you when it did quite the opposite without people even realizing.
It's funny how a country get's linked to a radical group, and get's invaded under false pretenses weapons of mass destruction. Iraq has natural resources America wants Oil and Afghanistan has ninety percents of the worlds opium most lucrative drug. Then they try to make you out to be unpatriotic if you question your government, well honestly to you Americans who question the motives of war I would say that is one of the most patriotic things you could do.
People of your Country are dying in a senseless war, your economy is getting crushed because of ridiculous spending million a month on war. America needs to quit being the world police , and start worrying about their own. And if you don;t like the band, why would you specifically search them out and comment on one of their Song meaning pages? Seriously, you're scouting out somewhere to be deconstructive?
Embrace individuality, but express you different opinions and carry on so we don;t have to sift through a bunch of generic, useless information about the song.
AbsentMinded on July 19, Link. General Comment Music has always been political.. I think it's scary when music isn't somewhat political.. Where's the free speech? You dont have to agree with their feelings.. This isn't "left wing propaganda. BlueCrystalMirror on October 05, Link. No Replies Log in to reply. In Michael Moore's movie, he stated that "America is a nation based on fear..
I am really not a big Green Day fan, but I like this song. HerHeartCries on October 01, Link. General Comment Woohoo! First to post!
On Sept. The track shot straight to No. Keeping the momentum going, in November , the band served up "Boulevard of Broken Dreams," which would go on to become one of the biggest hits of their career. Armstrong penned the track about "feeling alone" in the city and finding the power in that. The singer stated that he felt the track fit well within the overall story about people "going away and getting the hell out, all while fighting their own inner demons.
It also resulted in a Grammy at the ceremony for Record of the Year. The third single, " Holiday ," arrived in March filled with attitude and bite. During concerts, Armstrong would state, "This song is a big 'fuck you' to the American government. This song is not anti-American. It's anti-war.
Inspired by the works of Bob Dylan , Armstrong was attempting to write something with more of a harsh message than "American Idiot. After the snarl of "Holiday," Green Day opted for a more melancholy follow-up. The vocalist would later reveal on VH1's Storytellers that the track was the most autobiographical song he'd ever written and often proved hard to perform live.
Director Samuel Bayer took the lyrics from the song and gave it a different spin in an epic anti-war clip that featured film stars Evan Rachel Wood and Jamie Bell as young lovers torn apart by war.
We wanted to make a mini-movie about a boy and a girl that fall in love and have the rest of their lives ahead of them, but the boy joins the Army and leaves her behind to go to war. Finishing out the singles from the album was "Jesus of Suburbia," the epic five-part piece that started the core of the American Idiot story.
Armstrong stated to Billboard , "After you write a song like that, it was like, 'I can't turn back now. Other characters within the overall story included St. Jimmy, a punk rock freedom fighter, and Whatsername, the female mother revolution figure. By this point, Rob knew that the title-track would open the album, followed by the nine minutes and eight seconds of Jesus Of Suburbia. You can feel it in your body.
I just knew that when we released it, people were going to respond and explode. The only time I had it like that was on Dookie. Like any artist worthy of the name, he squirmed in his seat in self-conscious discomfort. Jimmy and Whatsername who wander, like faces in a dream, through the songs of a record that is thematic, but never conceptual. But when it came to voicing their discontent at President George W.
Yet if their talk was unflinchingly political, much of the music with which they re-emerged was anything but. By the time American Idiot made its public bow in September , its authors were in possession of a quality that had eluded them since the days of Dookie 10 years earlier: buzz. With the title-track serving both as a lead-off single and the perfect amuse-bouche, its parent album emerged from the traps as if it were pursued by fire. It is worth noting that Warning earned not a single award from any of these bodies or from any others, for that matter.
Never again are a group playing this kind of music likely to sell records in these kinds of numbers. On the tour in support of their universally acclaimed seventh studio LP , Green Day headlined such venues as Giants Stadium in Rutherford, New Jersey, and the National Bowl in Milton Keynes, where, over two nights, they were watched by more than , people.
In scaling such heights for the second time, the band are one of a vanishingly small number of acts that can lay claim to having twice secured ownership to the always fleeting title of the Biggest Band In The World.
