Okay,we start in jingletown. bush was just elected,and the government is a mess.The whole song is from the perspective of jimmy,the Jesus of suburbia.(American idiot)
Jimmy runs away from his mother and stepfather,who completely destroyed his life,and he is apathetic and indifferent toward them. "I don't feel any shame,I won't apologize,when there ain't nowhere you can go.Running away from pain when you've been victimized,tales from another broken home." Jimmy runs to the city.(Jesus of suburbia)
Jimmy is now having the time of his life,and never wants to go back.The song is also a political statement.(holiday.)
Jimmy soon becomes severely depressed,and alone.He has no one,and he doesn't have anyone to blame it on anymore.(boulevard of broken dreams)
Jimmy realises that he was not the Jesus of suburbia,suffering for his mother's sins,but a problem of his own,and a useless one at that(are we the waiting)
He becomes St.jimmy,a havoc dealing drug dealing nightmare.He makes his pain with his alter ego,and becomes a new part of society.(st.jimmy) "I'm the patron saint of denial,with an angel face and a taste for suicidal!" I

He then relies heavily on drugs,because he is still lonely,and feels useless.(give me novicaine)
He meets whatsername,a girl is is truly a rebel and understands everything like he does.He is completely in love with her.Whatsername was based on an ex girlfriend of Billie Joe Armstrong,named amanda.She left him feeling suicidal.(she's a rebel.)
Both of them are together,but the I'd relationship is failing.Whatsername's is a wreck,and sr.Jimmy pretends not to care,because it hurts him so much.Whatsername sees that st.Jimmy isn't doing well,but she can't help him,so she kept her mouth shut.(extraordinary girl)
Whatsername completely leaves st.jimmy,only giving him a note,containing the famous line"NOBODY LIKES YOU!EVERYONE LEFT YOU!THEY'RE ALL OUT WITHOUT YOU!HAVING FUN! "and she completely exposes Hi m to himself,and bursts his bubble.This really hurts him.(letterbomb)
Realizing she is completely gone,st.Jimmy slips back into depression,and more her.This song is also about how Billie joe 's father died on September 1st when he was 10.He ran home from the funeral,and when his mom knocked on the door,he replied"wake me up when September ends."(wake me up when September ends)
St.jimmy has nothing left,so he destroys his alter ego,st.jimmy"Jimmy died today,he blew his brains out into bay.
