Green Day - Stuart And The Ave Lyrics

Most people believe that in this song the narrator is talking about someone he used to like but then realized that he overestimated his affection. However, the lyrics show that the narrator is more than just disappointed with his mistake - he is obviously mad at the situation and his partner. "I may be dumb, but I'm not stupid enough to stay with you" - this person probably betrayed him or hurt him in some way, so now he's frustrated about the outcome of the relationship, "destiny is dead".


The narrator also associates this person with an unsuccessful period in his life - "you're a blur of my dead past and rotting existence". He doesn't want to see them anymore, he's tearing a picture of them to pieces and states that the current situation is going nowhere - "before it might have made some sense, but now it's all messed up He's ready for a serious change.

"Stuart and the ave" is a real location in Berkley, CA - the intersection of Stuart Street and Telegraph Avenue.

So that’s the meaning and facts about this song

From songmeanings.com

to my ex :)

Troppo bellaaa

Sayonara Gawker

No one in Green Day gets the respect they deserve at their own individual instruments.

The bassline is orgasmic at 1.25 playback speed

are any songs on Insomniac not about Meth?

this one

They're talking about an intersection right? What city is it in?

I believe it’s either a place in Oakland or Berkeley, the corner of Telegraph Avenue and Stuart Street

@LiamMakesBadVideos thanks

this is the only good song off Insomniac, tbh.

Ummmm your crazy

Nick Rosetti Definitly, Insomniac is the best!

dat BASS

Green day makes the best i hate my boyfriend/girlfriend music

Forgot how awesome this song sounds

GREEN DAY FOREVER

Bass is giving me an orgasm

Cool Rock song. Although we all should be very careful of the kind of lyrics are included in the songs. It could have a negative for some viewers.

tre just demolishes those drums holy shit

Some old-school! Love the graphic of the CD and the inlay, brings back memories of a younger Green Day before they started wearing mascara

The melody of the chorus is sublime.

I love green day can't stop listening

Why Thank You, Billie Joe Armstrong! Rarely does anyone who isn't Marilyn Manson, write something so very 100% dead on describing any particular issue(read: problem) I am just bombarded by... yet here it is: "Well destiny is dead, in hands of bad luck. Before it might've made some sense, but now it's all fucked up."

This is my favourite GD song at the moment, and it is one of the best anyway.

The bass in this song is amazing

You're all fucked up!!! No wait, that's me :c

I played my girlfriend this song. She came instantly when she heard the bass

And then broke up with you because of the lyrics

I can't unhear sayanara Gawker.

awesome song wish it was it longer

This should have been the theme song for Shameless.

the best bassline in the world!!

XANTI EGAÑA IGARTUA longview

10 people are all fucked up

I love this song, I just wish the vocals were louder.

I would definitely not let you mix my punk song if I ever made one. You shouldn't mix the vocals too loud in punk, dude

In my own opinion, this is tre's best song. He is just beating the holly hell out of the drums, it's very great to listen to this song on full blast with headphones in.

best song on Insomniac hands down

+Tomas Bedoya Armatage Shanks, Stuck With Me and Walking Contradiction :D

orbitable yep and my 2nd is stuck with me

Stuck With Me and Jaded.

Stuck With Me, 86, Armatage Shanks, and No Pride do it for me

Very much agree. Though Walking Contradiction, Geek Stink Breath and Brain Stew (yes, I know they’re hits, but it’s my opinions) are all awesome songs too, I think this is probably the best on the album.

This is definitely one of their most underrated songs

Billie Joe used to write such great lyrics

still does

Wolf79FilmmakingOfficial And???

You like the music yet said they were always shit? Dude, what the fuck?

@Lee Whitworth He meant that the lyrics were always shit

anyone can play this bass part and get at least 90% of it right is a god

Sympathy is Dead

@Rain Verrev Sayonara Gawker, seems this time ya done fucked up.

Promote bullying, and hide your assets over seas

Savage minecrafter don't pay your interns get your slave labor for free!

Outing homosexuals is how they get their kicks,

And while we're at it toss mass censorship in to the mix

everytime I try to analyse the lyrics I got distracked by the bass ! omg !

it's basically just another song about his ex girlfriend amanda

Chris Ray Gun anyone?

Dylan Antill same.

Omfg yes

Link me to da vid plez

Hell yeah

Hell yeah

I've never really been much of a green day fan, but I really love this song

epic cat88 leave him alone, he just wants to enjoy a good song, imagine if in a alternative universe you liked hip hop and the African Americans didn't let you like it

The Deadman Theory Official Do you actually think I'm a white supremacist

Sayanora Gawker!

this time ya done fucked up

Sympathy is dead

This guy kinda sounds like Chris Ray Gun.

Hahaha I didn't expect anyone else from there.

THAT BASS IS PORN TO MY EARS

Life Is Good, You Should Get One I see u everywhere man.

That first 5 seconds is the Reason I picked bass!

Ahhh....my favorite green day song....so relatable

great album. don't like G.D anymore...never thout sellouts but now I'm thnkn diffrnt

That Bass intro can make a girl wet

I can confirm

MakarovMan I can confirm and even playing it myself gets me all rilled up, I love it!

Ahahha, I love how some girls can confirm this... xD

in that case I really need to learn it....

It makes me wet and I ain't even a girl

claurus they were talking about nimrod

Looks like Curry and explosive diarhea. I don't care.

why do this amazing song did not play in live??

They played it live in Ohio in April 2015, see if you can find the video ;)

but the bass of the song was skipped...but it's so cool

"destiny is dead, in the hands of bad luck... B4 it might have made some sense but now it's allllll fucked up!~"

I listen to this band all day, every day.....all day, every day....all day, every day......

Nathan Jaki all day every day all day green day

i seriously think I'm addicted lol

The only thing that will cure my addiction to Green Day is the death of me.

Me too...

This and Panic Song are my favorite tracks off of Insomniac! :D

INSOMNIAC 1995 GREEN DAY FOREVER

Dat bass.

I've been down The Avenue, it's a good place. Berkeley's lucky to have it.

great songg!!!!

This Song It should have been in the movie Stuart Little 2 (2002)

Well the lyrics have nothing to do with the movie and the only thing it has in common with the movie is that it has Stuart in the name.

Plus why include a song in a kids movie with the word "fuck" in it?

Any Kid understand in this song have insult

Well, Pixar used Westbound Sign from this album in the trailer for Cars for no particular reason so having this in Stuart Little would make sense next to that.

@Lee Whitworth Which trailer? Link me up!

Great traveling by car song. I listened to this about 6,000 times. It's #1 top played in iTunes. :)

@MysticManiac100 Don't be a smartarse.

@MysticManiac100 I can believe it. Especially if he found himself listening to it on repeat.

@MysticManiac100 You just made it more believable, this song had been around for 19 years when he commented, and itunes for 13 years. Listening to it 2 times a day or more in that span would create much larger numbers.

@MysticManiac100 nerd

r/Woooosh

:D great band!!!! 

I just feel like they climb into my head and take the truth out.

Those folks work very hard and all they need is to be heard!
*watch?v=js6TBze6vNA*
Outstanding those folks are!
You must Youtube it!

before it might have made some since but now it's all fucked up

Fantastic lyric video.

GREEN DAY ROCKS!!!!!!! I love this band and i always will

Very underrated song, still I fuckin love it!

totally agree mannn

i totally agree

A kedvenc bandám ♥♥♥

nimrod >.< ejem ejem

I agree. I hope they change back to what they were. Their new albums are too poppy.

And The Judge's Daughter

So my moms friend who I am also close with was with this guy, Tim. He hurt her mentally and physically. They broke up, and she kept thinking about him and he kept begging for another chance then went back to him. He hurt her yet again. Now, she told him to get the f*** out of her life. She doesnt even think about him. I sent this to her, and she loved it. (:

Warning! why is it soo underated!

yes but not best green day albums. best albums

Olivia and Whatsername?

Uno, Dos, and Tre are the shit*

Fixed that for you.

hahaha lol, uno, dos and tre are a shit, green day it´s my favorite band but i have to admit that these albums are so fucking bad

I like the way you think.

lol he is still right

Thank god, it's about time somebody says that besides me. usually i'm the one saying that haha!

LOLNOPE
uno! dos! tres! are the worst album

Maria?!

And Juliet, Julianna, 80 and I'm sure I forgot some.

Don't forget Adrienne (80). Whats with Billie and girls with names starting with A?

at the murder city

and you can find it at Christie Road,80

fuck yeah!!!!!

good one!

my older sister's name is destiny...i have to see if she's alive *checks* she's alive,whoo!

No... apart from a couple of songs, those three albums were sub par at best.

I notice this comment was written before the release Uno, Dos and Tre....

totally true

If you go to Christie Road and turn right down Stuart and the Avenue you'll wanna make a left and head down the Boulevard of Broken Dreams..... Amanda's waiting at the end of it...

i belive the best male is the dissappearing boy

dookie is. there is no way that they stopped being punk for dookie and became punk again for insomniac. and just because the new stuff isn't punk doesn't mean it isn't good.

But who exactly is the best thing of that town?
