LYRICS:
Welcome to my problems
It's not an invitation
This is my dilemma
And it's my obsession
I was sober, now I'm drunk again
I'm in trouble and in love again
I don't want to be a dead man walking
I don't want to be a dead man walking
Welcome to my nightmare
Where dreams go to disappear
Sit around in rehab
Feeling like a lab rat
Strange days are here again
And it's getting weirder
Here's to all my problems
I just want to drink a poison
I was sober, now I'm drunk again
I'm in trouble and in love again
I don't want to be a dead man walking
I don't want to be a dead man walking
I was sober, now I'm drunk again
I'm in trouble and in love again
I don't want to be a dead man walking
I don't want to be a dead man walking
Woah why, when I fall asleep tonight
On the wing and prayer, oh why?
For despair and obsession on you?
Yeah!
I was sober, now I'm drunk again
I'm in trouble and in love again
I don't want to be a dead man walking
I don't want to be a dead man walking
I was sober, now I'm drunk again
I'm in trouble and in love again
I don't want to be a dead man walking
I don't want to be a dead man walking

For me, it's one of the best songs by Green Day

[@Tryptick]

This is gonna be in my head for weeks

I’m the granddaughter of an alcoholic who refuses to get help no matter how much my family tries to intervene. I myself have also struggled with depression and suicidal tendencies over the course of my short 20 years and six months of life. These lyrics struck a chord with me. Best of luck to everyone reading this. I hope 2024 treats you well. ❤

[@_sarahtonin]

I feel you. My parents are alcoholic as well and they are destroying themselves everyday. I have struggled with my thoughts as well so I feel you❤

[@Jeremiah344]

I hope 2024 treats you better friend

This song having music beat like Whatsername

[@rothstillman3]

Similar chord progression but there are only 12 notes gonna be some that sound alike.

[@marcfernandez7226]

chorus part reminds me of "and in the darkest night, if my memory serves me right, ill never turn back time, forgetting you but not the time..." I guess it's the guitar chord progression.

[@joshuaporter-vq8ub]

Yes

[@diogomigueis4580]

I loved "American Dream" and I love this theme as well. This is strong, personal, relatable and has serious emotional issues attached. Billie's voice and tone are also really good and fit perfectly!
I must agree with many of you who claim this is probably one of their best songs since the release of that masterpiece (21st Century Breadown) back in 2009.

Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong has battled alcohol addiction throughout his career. He has been open about his struggles and has spoken about how his dependency has affected his personal life and his music. In 2012 a drunk Armstrong went into meltdown onstage at the iHeartRadio Festival and checked into rehab two days later.
In this song, Armstrong sings about the dilemma he constantly faces between wanting to stay sober and the desire to give in to his addiction. He talks about the guilt and shame that he feels, and the fear of falling back into old habits.
"'Dilemma' was one of those songs that was kind of easy to write because it was so personal to me," Armstrong explained. "We've seen so many of our peers struggle with addiction and mental illness. This song is all about the pain that comes from those experiences."

One of the things that I love about Green Day are the stories and meaning behind their songs. Glad that I discovered this band💚

[@Amber_xo_133]

@@TheOfficialBluver some of their songs can be deep,personal or relatable

[@TheOfficialBluver]

@@Amber_xo_133 By the way, can you give me some song recommendations by Green Day? I'm still quite new to this band.

​@@TheOfficialBluver dude just download the American Idiot album ,and Dookie than go from there .Im a little older than most Green Day fans i get teased for liking them..Billy Joe Armstrong is a great songwriter and a very underrated 1 at that .

[@liamherbert2283]

This song perfectly captures the feeling though.. The chorus really sounds like a drunken chant "I was sober now I'm drunk again!" In a careless flurry of intoxicated revalry. If you've ever relapsed that's how it feels. It's like "fuck yeah I'm back!" In the very moment.

[@cindymichelle2200]

Man I’m thankful I’m sober today when I never thought I could be. This song makes me a little emotional bc I don’t miss the relapses

[@mina233]

Somehow I like this song, even though it's a harsh reckoning. Or maybe that's why.

[@jasoncanning3856]

You’re an alcoholic as well????

[@jarrodblakely6031]

The video clip for this tune is brilliant…been there too many times to admit to 😬

[@neoscencez]

Right there with you. 😬

[@StrangeEcho]

This is a tasty jam.

[@IsThisJd]

Another great banger from green day

[@craigory87]

I'm an alcoholic with 84 days sober and I'm dealing with a breakup. I want to drink so bad I can't hardly stand it. This sucks.

[@andersonlima2666]

Todos os acordes dessa musica se vc pegar da pra cantar whatsername,modificaram algumas coisas,diro isso ,a musica nao deixa de ser boa,som muito bom

[@ngnerdgames282]

Sim, o Green Day tem muitas músicas com as mesmas notas e que remetem a outras músicas. A diferença aqui é o andamento e a música tem um riff, nem todas as músicas do Green Day tem, whatshername não tinha, embora a parte final lembre ele, não é um riff. Enfim hehe

[@YOURRACHINAPRIL]

😭😭😭 I really relate on the lyrics!

Cheers to all my alcoholics 🍻😂
