Song Lyrics That Mean Something Wildly Different Than You Thought

Next, let’s talk Green Day’s “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life).”

It was incredibly unusual back in the late ’90s to have a band known previously for their power chords and brash (albeit melodic) punk rock put out a soft acoustic guitar song.

If you don’t love this song, did you even go to prom?

“Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)” became the go-to “looking back and remembering the good times as our lives change” anthem. I’d even argue it held that title until Vitamin C released the much more opaque “Graduation (Friends Forever).”
