Cerita Dibalik Lagu:Wake Me Up When September Ends


Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
wake me up when September ends
like my father's come to pass
seven years has gone so fast
wake me up when September ends
here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are
as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when September ends
summer has come and passed
the innocent can never last
wake me up when September ends
ring out the bells again
like we did when spring began
wake me up when September ends
here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are
as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when September ends
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
wake me up when September ends
like my father's come to pass
twenty years has gone so fast
wake me up when September ends
wake me up when September ends


Lagu ini dimulai dengan nada yang cukup sedih,dan putus asa,bila kita mehamai kata-katanya,lagu ini cukup menyenntuh,berkisah mengenai seseorang yang mengenang masa lalunya,,Ada beberapa versi cerita tentang kisah lagu ini,salah satu yang cukup mengemuka adalah lagu ini ditujukan bagi para korban Tragedi WTC yang terjadi pada September 2001,terutama secara kebetulan lagu ini berada pada track kesebelas di album mereka(Tanggal kejadian Tragedi World Trade Center adalah 11 September 2001).Namun Billie Joe Armstrong memberi klarifikasi atas rumor bahwa lagu tersebutan berkaitan dengan Tragedi WTC,ia mengatakan bahwa lagu tersebut dibuat untuk mengenang ayahnya yang meninggal akibat kanker pada September 1982,disaat Armstrong berusia 10 tahun.Dia mengungkapkan perasaan sedihnya melalui lagu ini.

    Dalam video klipnya sendiri,dikisahkan satu pasangan yang saling mencintai,saling berjanji tidak akan berpisah.Namun keduanya lalu bertengkar ketika sang cowok mendaftar masuk Korps Marinir Amerika Serikat.Si Cowok kemudian menjelaskan pada ceweknya bahwa tindakannya itu adalah untuk membuktikan cintanya,bahwa ia rela melakukan apa pun untuk melindungi gadis pujaannya itu.Si cewek lalu patah hati karena cowoknya tidak menepati janji,dan ia khawatir pacarnya itu akan terbunuh dalam peperangan.Kemudian dalam video tersebut ditunjukkan si cowok tengah terdesak dalam suatu pertempuran di Irak.Adegan berikutnya menunjukkan,si cewek sedang menangis di pemakaman yang sepi,memberi satu sugesti bahwa si cowok akhirnya tewas terbunuh.
    Intinya,lagu ini menceritakan tentang curhat seseorang ketika kehilangan seseorang yang sangat ia cintai dalam hidupnya...

seize the day

Dm               F                  G
Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost

It’s empty and cold without you here,
C              Dm
too many people to ache over
(F5 F#5 Gm)       C                                F
I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
Em               Dm
But I’m too young to worry
Gm                       C                            F
These streets we travel on will undergo our same lost past
Dm              Gm                          F
I found you here, now please just stay for a while

I can move on with you around

Newborn life replacing life, replacing all of us,
C                Dm
changing this fable we live in
Gm             F               C
No longer needed here so where should we go?
Dm       Gm                     F
Will you take a journey tonight,

follow me past the walls of death?
