What are green day songs all about?

Answer 1

Obviously this depends on the song in question, but many green day songs are a comment on the problems with modern American society, mainly drugs and the hypocrisy of politicians like George W Bush. Examples of these would be American Idiot and Minority. Others, like Wake Me Up When September Ends and Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) are about past experiences such as bereavement and relationships respectively. Another theme is war (see Holiday) I would suggest looking at the lyrics of each song you are curious about for a fuller understanding of its meaning.

Answer 2

i got this from geekstinkbreath.com

"I had a friend of mine that three of his friends passed away in one year so I wrote the song for him" - Armstrong.

In this song we can see the pain of being left alone and having nothing and no one to hold on to ("nothing's left to cling on to"). The lyrics metaphorically describe the way from stepping "to the edge of the shadow of a doubt", to realizing that you need to make it through the night and even if it's not what you want, you know that you need to reach the break of day, and just wait for when it gets better. You need to hold on to yourself when there's nothing else left to hold on to, because after all, the only thing you really wouldn't be able to live without is yourself.
