I love Homecoming / The Death Of St. Jimmy / East 12th St. / Nobody Likes You / Rock And Roll Girlfriend / We're Coming Home Again and the song is about.....

Jesus of Suburbia has nothing left to do. He's been on the streets. He stands alone again. So where else to go? Home. Part I, the Death of St. Jimmy. He's leaving the streets, he's going back, he's leaving Jimmy behind. He realizes that turning away wasn't the answer, and he's gained nothing from it except knowledge that life is no better in a different atmosphere. He hoped for too much, and got nothing in return. St. Jimmy kills himself, in a sense, in Jesus of Suburbia' mind he's gone. Still, there's no one who cares, and nobody cares. Part II, East 12th St, tells us that Jesus of Suburbia met and accepted conformity, got a job, and is just in his own world as people move around him. He'd rather be out and around with 'the underbelly', his friends. He feels trapped. Alone, and again, must get away. "This lifelike dream ain't for me"...Part III, Nobody Likes You. He's still depressed about losing Whatsername, as he waits for her to return, but no luck. All of his dreams at this point are shot to hell, as her voice still pounds in his head "NOBODY LIKES YOU, EVERYONE LEFT YOU..." Part IV, Rock 'N Roll Girlfriend, in the inlay, is shown as a postcard from "Tunny"...who seems to be another person Jesus of Suburbia met while on the streets. Tunny explains that he's living it up where he is, and the rebel life he leads, while Jesus of Suburbia is rotting with his dead end job, in his dead end life. Part V, We're Coming Home Again, is Jesus of Suburbia accepting things. He's coming to the realization of everything and everyone, and is just accepting it. He comes home. It's left on a confusing note. He's not sure if he's happy or sad, he's just home, living, and he just...is.

Are you on a Green Day kick?
I like Homecoming. I think the first verse is the death of St. Jimmy , Jesus of Suburbia's alter ego. It goes on to show the mental processes of him and the mental abuse he inflicts on himself. At the end, where you would expect him to be angry, he returns home and seems satisfied after his girlfriend breaks up with him. I thought it was a clever, clever way to write a song. If you read the lyrics and understand the meaning, I think anyone would like it.

Yeah cool song's. The meaning of it really is good and i think the whole idea of American idiot being a punk opera is good really. not one of my favs but i have to say that but rock and roll girlfriend is wicked cos tre sings it and also if you listen to the last line, where tre sings "I haven't drank or smoked nothin', In over 22 days, So get off of my case" you can hear Billie Joe singing "don't wanna be an American idiot" in the background. trust me. but great song.

green day rock!
