Lirik lagu "Jesus of Suburbia" oleh Green Day dan penjelasannya

Jakarta (ANTARA) - Lagu "Jesus of Suburbia" oleh Green Day adalah lagu rock alternatif yang dirilis dalam album "American Idiot" pada 2004.

Lagu ciptaan Mike Dirnt, Tré Cool, dan Billie Joe Armstrong itu bercerita tentang seorang remaja yang mengalami masa-masa sulit dalam hidupnya. Karakter remaja bernama Jesus itu merasa tidak cocok dengan lingkungan pinggiran kota tempat tinggalnya dan merasa seperti orang terbuang di sana.

Lirik lagu itu memiliki lima bagian dengan orkestrasi yang berbeda pula. Bagian pertama berupa pengenalan karakter "

Jesus Of Suburbia", bagian kedua bertajuk "City of The Damned" menceritakan saat Jesus terlibat perkelahian dengan teman-teman satu tongkrongan dan saat dirinya mulai menyadari ketidakcocokan dengan teman-temannya itu.

Bagian ketiga dijuduli "I Don't Care", di sinilah Jesus menjadi orang buangan yang dijauhi semua orang dan segala hal di sekitarnya, dan juga dalam cerita ini di mana karakter St. Jimmy (yang diciptakan Jesus sendiri untuk menyembuhkan rasa sakitnya usai kehilangan pacar) muncul untuk mempengaruhi Jesus agar meninggalkan rumah.

Bagian keempat bertajuk "Dearly Beloved", memperlihatkan sisi lembut kepribadian Yesus. Penyamaran sarkasmenya menutupi teriakannya untuk meminta bantuan ("Oh therapy, can you please fill the void?"). Karena ia merasa lelah sendirian, ditolak dan tidak diterima orang-orang. Ia ingin membebaskan diri.

Bagian kelima dijuduli "Tales From Another Broken Home", di sini Jesus akhirnya menyerah dan memilih pergi meninggalkan semua orang yang membenci dan menyakitinya, dan memulai hidup baru.

Lirik lagu "Jesus of Suburbia" sebagai berikut:

I'm the son of rage and love

The Jesus of Suburbia

From the bible of none of the above

On a steady diet of

Soda pop and Ritalin

No one ever died for my sins in hell

At least the ones I got away with

And there's nothing wrong with me

This is how I'm supposed to be

In a land of make believe

Get my television fixed

Sitting on my crucifix

The living room or my private womb

While the Moms and Brads are away

To fall in love and fall in debt

To alcohol and cigarettes and Mary Jane

To keep me insane,

And there's nothing wrong with me

This is how I'm supposed to be

In a land of make believe

That don't believe in me

In the parking lot

Of the 7-11 where I was taught

The motto was just a lie

It says home is where your heart is

Cause everyone's heart

Doesn't beat the same

It's beating out of time

City of the dead

At the end of another lost highway

Signs misleading to nowhere

Lost children with dirty faces today

No one really seems to care

I read the graffiti

In the bathroom stall

And so it seemed to confess

It didn't say much

But it only confirmed that

The center of the earth

Is the end of the world

And I could really care less

At the end of another lost highway

Signs misleading to nowhere

City of the damned

Lost children with dirty faces today

No one really seems to care

I don't care if you don't

I don't care if you don't care

Everyone is so full of shit

Born and raised by hypocrites

Hearts recycled but never saved

From the cradle always to the grave

From Anaheim to the middle east

We are the stories and disciples

Of the Jesus of suburbia

Land of make believe

Land of make believe

And I don't believe

And I don't care!

I don't care! [x4]

I can't remember a word that you were saying

Are we demented or am I disturbed?

The space that's in between insane and insecure

Am I retarded or am I just overjoyed

Nobody's perfect and I stand accused

For lack of a better word, and that's my best excuse

Is to die In tragedy

To run, to run away

To find what you believe

And I leave behind

I lost my faith to this

This town that don't exist

So I run

I run away

To the light of masochist

And I leave behind

And I walked this line

A million and one fucking times

But not this time

I don't feel any shame

I won't apologize

Running away from pain

When you've been victimized

Tales from another broken home

You're leaving...

You're leaving...

You're leaving...

Ah you're leaving home...
