Analysis
Green Day's song "Are We The Waiting" is a reflection of life in the suburbs. The lyrics explore themes of isolation, waiting, rage and love, and suburbia. The chorus of the song, "Are we we are, are we we are the waiting unknown", is a reflection of the feeling of being trapped in the suburbs and longing for something more. This theme is similar to that of the band's other songs, such as "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" and "Holiday", in which the characters are looking for something more in life, but are stuck in the monotony of the suburbs.
