Song Meaning (Interpretation) of “Brat” by Green Day
The song “Brat” by Green Day takes a look at the consequences of being a rebellious young person. The song’s narrator paints a vivid picture of the difficulties they face, such as feeling oppressed and alone, even going so far as to being locked up and unreachable. In this world, the only way to survive is to remain a wild, untamed and unruly individual. Despite all of the barriers they face, the narrator is determined to remain independent and resist the expectations of conforming to society. The song is ultimately a call to break the chains of conformity and stand strong in the face of adversity. Despite the obstacles, the narrator is optimistic that they will eventually find peace and satisfaction in their own unique way.
