Line 7:
''Sing us a song for me }}
''
Several of the themes looked at by [[Anti-Hero|Christian]] (Who is [[Alternative Character Interpretation|most definitely]] [[Sarcasm Mode|not]] [[Western Terrorists|a terrorist]]) include [[Corrupt Church|religion,]] [[American Political System|politics,]] and [[Best Served Cold|vengeance,]] along with being heavily involved in his relationship with Gloria. He is very cynical about most large organizations, and feels he and Gloria must stand up for [[The Everyman]]. Gloria, meanwhile, is trying to hold onto her original beliefs while trying to help Christian as well.
Line 56:
* [[Loudness War]]: As with ''American Idiot'', it's really badly clipped.
* [[Meaningless Meaningful Words]]: Tons. "American Eulogy" is nothing but this.

''The high-definition for the low resident
''Where the value of your mind is not held in contempt }}
* [[Metal Scream]]: "Know Your Enemy" has one:
{{quote|''Well, violence is an energy, oh ay, oh ay
''Well, from here to eternity, oh ay, oh ay
''Well, violence is an energy, oh ay, oh ay
''Well, silence is the enemy
''So gimme, gimme '''[[Big Word Shout|REVOLUTION!]]''' }}
** Used more so during "Horseshoes and Handgrenades."
* [[New Media Are Evil]]: "The Static Age"
Line 74:
** The tune to the "Restless Heart Syndrome" chorus is also played at the beginning of "¿Viva la Gloria? (Little Girl)", which is the song before it.
* [[Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll]]: Many references to "pills and alcohol," along with the following part in "Before the Lobotomy"
{{quote|''I'm not stoned
''I'm just fucked-up
''I got so high
''I can't stand up }}
* [[Shout-Out]]: As listed in the [[Homage]] trope-page, the line "I once was lost, but never was found" is a shout-out to [[Amazing Freaking Grace|"Amazing Grace"]].
** "Last of the American Girls" could be a shout-out to the [[Tom Petty]] song "American Girl".
