That's the moral of the song, live your life as best as you can, don't lat anything destroy you or beat you down, fight the pain, use it, and live an amazing life, it's there for the taking. Billie Joe lost his father (in September) he says at the beginning "like my fathers come to pass, 7 years have gone so fast" then at the end "20 years have gone so fast" he didn't let this pain drag him down for his entire life, if he would have done that his life would have felt as if time was at a crawl, he lived it right, and he is amazed at how fast time goes by when you live it right.

Music industry executives love to rave about the “long-tail” possibilities of songs on streaming platforms like Spotify and YouTube: If a piece of music has staying power in the modern age, it means labels and artists no longer get paid just once for gaining a new fan they’re potentially rewarded every single time that fan goes back to listen. That doesn’t seem like much, but that’s only one platform and doesn’t factor in the plays on other streaming services. In 2017, YouTube’s global music head Lyor Cohen said the video-streaming service pays as much as $0.003 per stream in royalties if we take that high-end estimate, Green Day is pulling in an extra several hundred dollars every year on those two dates from its music video on the site. In the era of video- and music-streaming, though, a 100 percent spike in listening means a decent pile of new royalties paid to the band, without the artists, labels or managers needing to do anything at all. When CDs and digital downloads were the primary way people listened to music, fans queueing up the song for a nostalgic spin wouldn’t have translated to much more than a slight boost in attention for the band.
