1039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours

At the Library
Posted by TheSaintJimmy1998 on March 04 2010
This [song] is about how Billie Joe saw a girl he liked at the library, and how he was nervous to talk to her.
1/5
Posted by SaintJimmy1039 on September 21 2009
Billie wrote this song about a girl he saw in the library and liked. "Hey there lookin' at me. Tell me what do you see?" "Try to find the words I could use, don't have the courage to come up to you...". He thought he'd have a chance but then he found out she was seeing someone. "Staring across the room, are you leaving soon, I just need a little time. What time? AH!"

I remember Billie saying somewhere that it was about an ugly girl he saw in the library and figured he had a chance with her but then he figured out she already was with someone.

Posted by Katherine on June 02 2009
This song is pretty self explanitory, it tells a story of how Billie Joe was at the library and he sees a girl he wants to ask out, and questions himself weither he should or not. Then her boyfriend comes to pick her up and he realizes it wasn't worth it/he lost his chance.
4/5
Posted by Moonbeam on May 28 2009
I just think it's about thinking out loud kind of. As in Billie Joe is supposed to be studying or reading or something (since he's in a library), but he gets distracted by this girl and randomly wonders if she would go out with him. He wonders if he should just go for it and ask her out but before he actually does anything the girl's boyfriend shows up and they both leave. That leaves Billie to go back to whatever he was doing before he noticed the girl.

Don't Leave Me

'This song is about how a girl dumped me' - Billie Joe live at Pinhole Valley 1990
1/3
Posted by Giorgio on June 01 2009
Billie said: This song is about a girl who dumped me
2/3
Posted by Petra on June 01 2009
It's a song about desperation when not around the person you love. It makes you wanna scream and kick and punch, and it's just so terrible that it's plain beautiful. I mean- how can you regret having someone to care about instead of plain old apathy...?

I Was There
Posted by Sean on June 07 2009
Al Sobrante wrote the lyrics when he was still in Green Day. I think he wrote them about how he knew he was gonna leave Green Day. It seems like in the lyrics, he knew Green Day was gonna be big, and he knew that he could always say that in the beginning that he was there.
1/10
Posted by Sarah on June 06 2009
I think this song is basically about Billie's reflection on the things he's done in the past, the good and the bad.
2/10
Posted by Amanda on June 03 2009
I think that this song is just about the past and how is is indeed "the past". It talks about past girlfriends, names, things he has forgotten, but it also talks about not letting it get him down or causing him too much sorrow. Throughout the song he looks back into his past, good and bad, and also the future. Basically, the moral of the song, to me, is that the past is the past and live for today but don't forget about yesterday. Remember? He said, "There's much more life to live"

Their old drummer, John, wrote this and it it rumored to be about his time spent as a member in Green Day. John left the band eventually and Tre Cool joined
4/10
Posted by Lucky on June 03 2009
It's about looking back on the experiences you've had, and people that you knew but have now become separate from. You remember the people, and the sights, and the place you've been, and you just don't want to forget everything that's happened. A sort of melancholy song, written by John Kiffmeyer. Could be about his experience in Green Day, as he left just after he wrote this song.
5/10
Posted by Insomniac on June 02 2009
This song was written by Al Sobrante, and it talks about the time he was in Green Day. I wonder if he wrote it before he chose to go to college or during the choice.
6/10
Posted by AB on June 02 2009
This song was written by Green Day's former drummer John Kiffmeyer. The song is about how John regrets leaving the band for college, but he was there for a while and had a really great time in the band.
7/10
Posted by Niamh on June 02 2009
This song is about someone looking back on their life so far, and remembering all the good times they've spent with the people they once loved, they are thinking about how much they want to relive their past and make it last forever, but they are also realising that they have so much more life to live and a lot more good times to look forward to.
8/10
Posted by Jack (bob4775) on June 01 2009
I think this song is about the feeling of nostalgia. Looking back and thinking about times in your life, and then realizing that there's much more ahead of you and looking to the future
9/10
Posted by Jorge Chávez on May 26 2009
This song is about the sadness some people feel about growing up and being distant in time from the good times of their life. The only consolation is that you were there, but that doesn't guarantee that you'll feel happy.
It starts by going backward remembering everything, "looking back upon my life" "each one is a memory I look back on so often".
"I look into the past, and I want to make it last" is clearly defining the thing that missing so much youth days makes you remember almost every time, and by remembering every single detail, you are making it last, and somehow, living it again at least in your mind.
Finally, the constant repetition of "I was there" stresses the sadness about being there and at the same time, gives some consolation about being far away in time from there.

Disappearing Boy
Posted by Sexy Joe on September 01 2009
I think that this song is about how much Billie Joe and his siblings disliked their stepfather. The verses are a reflection on the emotions he felt when he or his mother were near the stepfather.
1/5
Posted by $arah on August 06 2009
This song to me is about Bille being insecure. Being alone and fearing it really, it's anxiety getting the best of you, and hey we've all been there hah! I can really relate, great song!
2/5
Posted by Sharkie on June 09 2009
This song is about Billie always blending into the background at school.

It's about his Mom not paying much attention to him when she's with any guys she went out with. or what ever.
4/5
Posted by Jake on June 01 2009
This song is about Billie Joe really being an outcast of sorts and no one really paying attention to him. It's about him being ignored and not really fitting in. "When I walk in crowded room, I feel as though it is my doom, I know that I don't belong." These lines in the second verse show Billie's frustration.

Green Day
Posted by Amanda on January 14 2010
It's a song about smoking weed and how you feel when you're high.
1/3
Posted by dallasthemenace on June 02 2009
one of the most under-rated songs about pot ever written, if you ask me. billie wrote it about his early pot experience(s). im sure lots of people can identify with some of the imagry of the lyrics... i know i have at one time or another.
2/3
Posted by John on May 26 2009
This song has the same meaning as The band in general. A song about a day spent lying around, hanging with freinds, smoking weed, and doing pretty much nothing all day. Since Green Day are no longer a group of stoners who live in sqauts they admit they think they have the worst name in the history of Rock 'N' Roll. The name still stays though.

Going to Pasalacqua
Posted by cherrybhai on February 16 2010
To me this song is about a guy who's in love. He knows, even while starting out, that it's never going to be easy to make it work. But if he goes for it, he's going to be in it forever.
1/5
Posted by Greendayfan2004 on January 12 2010
I think its about liking someone and how you cant stop thinking about them. Wondering if they like you back, and hoping something could come of that.
2/5
Posted by Sexy Joe on September 01 2009
When I listen to the lyrics, to me this song is about being close to or liking someone ("infatuation touches me") when they become ill or are dying ("would you last forever?"). I think, in the chorus ("you and I together...we'll run away, far away") Billie is dreaming up what he wishes he and the person in the song could do; how they'll make it through what's happening and how he'll be there for them ("in for nasty weather, but I'll take whatever you can give that comes my way") basically, he knows it's gonna be a bumpy ride, but he doesn't care.

16 is a song about expressing feelings and fears of becoming 16. It's also about being nostalgic, looking into past and asking why is everything changing so fast.

This is about being 16 and not having a care in the world AND/OR finding a place in life just for you

1/3
Posted by Dana on August 22 2009
Mike Dirnt talked about this song in answer to a question that was asked in the June 2009 edition of big Cheese Magazine: "Is it because you're all parents that you're so concerned about the world around you now?" He said "That has something to do with it. We always wanted to write political songs. There's a song on our first record called "Road to Acceptance", which is a song against racism".
2/3
Posted by Fiona on June 02 2009
I think this song is about how Billie Joe desperately wants to be accepted and how he's willing to do pretty much anything for that acceptance.
"And I'll sculpt my life for your acceptance"

Rest
Posted by Drea on June 02 2009
I always found this song to be Billie's confusion about a girl. Is it the end of a relationship, or the start of one? He once was totally sure, but now isn't. And because of that dire confusion, he can't fall asleep and just wishes it would all go away.

Posted by HJ on February 14 2010
It's about loving a girl that just wants to be your friend, probably your best friend. You frequently see that girl, so your heart is "tested" and you can't escape from your feelings. It's also about the jealousy you feel when you see the same girl with her boyfriend.
1/4
Posted by Niamh on June 05 2009
This song is about someone who had previously been in a relationship and is finding themselves still thinking about their ex, and they get frustrated everytime they see them with their boy/girlfriend. All they want to know is if their ex still thinks about them too.
2/4
Posted by Justin Z on May 26 2009
A song about a guy (Probably Billie) who just got out of a relationship with a girl. The guy still has feelings for the girl and it pains him whenever he sees her. He wonders if he will ever get over his ex girlfriend and he can't stand it when he sees her with her new boyfriend. He wants to know if she still has feelings for him like he does for her, and he questions himself "To this day I'm asking why I still think about you."
3/4
Posted by Maria on May 26 2009
I think its about not being able to get over someone. You know they don't like you and it probably won't work anymore and you keep telling yourself and other people you're over it. But deep down you still love them and think about them a lot.

Why Do You Want Him?

409 In Your Coffeemaker
Posted by steven on November 02 2009
this song has 2 meanings: the first one is - when billie was in school he put 409 in his teachers coffee, and the 2nd meaning is about how school is a waste of time, "i sit in the state of a daydream as the words fly over my head, even more time gets wasted in my daze"

Billie said this was about some prank he pulled in school where he actually put 409 in one of his teacher's coffeemakers.

Posted by Ricky on June 04 2009
This song is basically "looking back now,at where I have gone wrong." (In the chorus) In 2nd or 3rd grade,Billie Joe put formula 409 in his teacher's coffee (Hence the name). So he's looking back at where he's gone wrong,and the part in the chorus:"My interests are longing to break through these chains,these chains that control my future's aim" is him referring to his first thoughts of dropping out of school.

Well, the story goes that Billie Joe once put 409 in his teacher’s coffee. I think it's about when you sick of listening to someone (a teacher), you're going away to another world when they’re talking to you. It is probably also about how annoying it is to be interrupted when you're dazing! Still the chorus tells that it’s a shame that they can’t get along.
I think Billie Joe really wanted to get along, but just couldn't because it was so boring.

409 In Your Coffeemaker
Posted by steven on November 02 2009
this song has 2 meanings: the first one is - when billie was in school he put 409 in his teachers coffee, and the 2nd meaning is about how school is a waste of time, "i sit in the state of a daydream as the words fly over my head, even more time gets wasted in my daze"

Billie said this was about some prank he pulled in school where he actually put 409 in one of his teacher's coffeemakers.

This song is basically "looking back now,at where I have gone wrong." (In the chorus) In 2nd or 3rd grade,Billie Joe put formula 409 in his teacher's coffee (Hence the name). So he's looking back at where he's gone wrong,and the part in the chorus:"My interests are longing to break through these chains,these chains that control my future's aim" is him referring to his first thoughts of dropping out of school.

A cover song of an old favorite underground band operation ivy. This song is about coming into relization of having a dead end future, and not really caring at all.

1,000 Hours
Posted by aylaKay on July 20 2009
A very involved picture of a love scene... As Billie himself put it, "That was some pretty sappy shit." Though at the time, it's what they had to write about. Modern day 1,000 Hours? Last Night On Earth. The best love song Billie's written to date (says him).

"Up at your window, I see a shadow; silhouette of your grace." Beautiful imagery!
This song is about sitting outside in the evening being close to the one you love... and having sex with the person "Passionate love to be all night long."

this song is about loving someone intensely and you are always thinking of her ( i had a dream and she was in it again), and they don't know you love them. so you try and tell them that you love them (send a letter to that girl asking her to be my own, but my pen is writing wrong) and trying to accept the possibility that she may not love you back (will i understand if she wants to be my friend), and finally just plainly saying you love them (i love you more right now more than i've ever loved before, hear these words straight from my lips i'll need you forevermore) definitely one of my favorite songs

Only Of You
Posted by Niamh on June 02 2009
This song is about wanting someone that deep down you know you will probably never have, but yet you still can't stop thinking about them every moment of the day.

The One That I Want
Posted by Jnet on June 10 2009
This is a classic song of the desperate feelings of young love. The boy is sitting in his room yearning to be with the girl he wants. He can't stand to be separated from her. He's never felt this way before, and he can't stop thinking about her - even when they're apart. He believes his feelings will last, and he's wondering if anything will improve (if they'll be able to get together).

I Want To Be Alone
Posted by Lucky on June 03 2009
Does the title not explain it pretty well?
If not: it's about someone who's trying to deal with a problem themselves, but other people keep interfering and offering a shoulder to cry on or some support. The person with the problem, however, doesn't want their help and just wants to be left by themselves to deal with it.

The song title says it all really, it's about being fed up and just needing some time alone to collect your thoughts and to dwell. in your emotions

This song is about needing to be alone with your thoughts and how annoying it is when people can see you're upset about something and they keep bothering you about it, you pretty much just want to tell them to fuck off.
