But I think this song is definitely about insomnia (hence the album name). These lyrics relate to me... and "spun out in my room" is referring to his face, after he says, "My eyes feel like they're gonna bleed, dried up and bulging out my skull." This is one of my favorite songs from Insomnaic! Not only can I relate to it very well, but I love this new, kind of hard-rock, post-grungy thing. Green Day is my favorite band!!! Ask the ARTIST | Reviewer: Tsuche | 9/9/09 I've heard a lot of different songs about a lot of different things, but I've experienced insomnia. This has connections to both, depending on how you're determined to look at it. I can sympathize from both sides of the argument. I thin kthe best way to find out would be to ask the ARTIST. Sleeeep! | Reviewer: Andrea | 5/25/09 I bought Green Day's album 'Insomniac' about ten years ago and while I killed out songs like Jaded and Stuck With Me, I never really liked Brain Stew. I was 15 and it just didn't mean anything to me, it was kind of depressing. But lately I've had trouble sleeping and when I heard this again it seemed to make sense. The line that did if for me was 'The clock is laughing in my face' because I always do that thing where I look at my clock and say 'if I fall asleep now, I will get 5 hours sleep... 4 hours sleep... 3 hours...' Some people will say it's about drugs but we all interpret lyrics differently and thats a good thing. Oh, and I like it when he says the word 'crosstops', to me, there's a feeling of desperation in that one word that sums up the whole mood of the song. sleeplessness | Reviewer: lala | 11/2/08 im sure this is about insomnia it reminds me of times i couldent get to sleep til the sun started to come up my eyes always felt like they were gona bleed and the name of the album brain stew is on is called insomniac so no dure its about insomnia Insomnia | Reviewer: Spartan | 10/24/08 I've never done any illicit substance so I'm not gonna pretend to know what effects they have on you but I will tell you I'm an insomniac and I have been for about the past 10 years and I'm only 19 now, so I can relate to this song and everytime I hear it I just think of my insomnia and what a bitch it really is, I don't get any drug connotations from it at all. Is just insomnia | Reviewer: Mac | 4/16/08 C'mon people, have any of you been in bed with a fucking virus, causing you diarrea and vomits, your mouth dry, not being capable to sleep for three days, your spine your whole back is destroyed. And guess what you have to go to the toilet every 15 minutes.... On my own, here we go!! Is just insomnia for what ever reason you want to think!!! It is about Meth | Reviewer: blueize | 4/6/08 All I can say is if you have listened to the song and can relate then you know what they are talking about. It is 100% about Meth and the effects that it has on you, they just left out the part about being angry with yourself and the feeling of panic when you hear the birds singing and notice that the sun is coming up and you are not even close to being tired! if you ever stayed up for days...... | Reviewer: otter | 1/10/08 trust me..... if you ever have stayed up long enough b/c of insomnia you can absolutely feel spun out and fucked up...... my brain is stewed right now from no sleep & some pain meds & muscle relaxants so I guess I would have to agree that it is about drugs. BUT I do remember living on only 4 hours of sleep in 5 days and feeling really fucked up... kjl | Reviewer: lykwateva | 9/20/07 Ive been on all sorts of illicit substances, I have also suffered from extreme insomnia... this song to me sound much more like and insomniac song not a drug song. bet anyone arguing it is about drugs is a narrow minded wannabe knowall naive teenage snot who needs a good kick up the arse. Brainstew | Reviewer: GreenDayRox | 8/10/07 Billie wrote this song way back in 1995 or so when his son, Joey, was a baby. Joey was up crying all night, so Billie didn't get any sleep. He wrote this song about how he felt. "Brain Stew" is also the nickname of James Washburn, a longtime friend of the band.
