See The Light lyrics

LOVE THEM SO MUCH THIS ABULM IS SO GOOD AND I'LL ALWAYS LOVE THANK YOU GREEN FOR BRINGING REAL MUSIC...

This is the final piece of the 21st Century Breakdown story. I see it as written in both Christan and Gloria's views.

They're saying they've traveled their lives, fighting for a revolution of their beliefs, for their freedom from the constraints of a mindless, self-indulged society. As they grow, they realize that fighting wasn't as necessary as they thought, and that trying to get other people to see life the way they saw it was a waste of time.

All they want to do now is live according only to themselves. "I drank the water from a hurricane, and I set a fire just to see the flame" they've realized there are little things that make them happy and that huge riots aren't really all they wanted.

The best way to describe this is that they were like inmates who wanted out, so they caused a huge riot, and when they got what they wanted (freedom) they didn't know what to do with it.

In all, I think the album has a bit of a message - not only know your enemy, but also know your cause.
