The intro features NASA transmissions. According to Tom DeLonge, "This song is about one thing only, an astronaut sitting in a space capsule about the size of a car, floating above the earth. He's contemplating if coming back or not will make a difference on such a negative place. A song about the loss of hope. A term was coined for the breakdown of life in space and it is called Asthenia, the name of the track."

As said by Tom DeLonge, "[The song is] all about wishing you had a girl you could train. I remember writing the song thinking about my dog. You can train the dog to sit, to be quiet, to be a good dog. But you can't teach a girl to do anything."

This song is based around the story of one of the band's techs first crushes. Allegedly, the girl invited the band tech around to her house on a date. The tech rode his bicycle there as fast as he could, but upon arriving, she and her friends jumped out and sprayed him with a water hose. The tech went home, embarrassed and humiliated. The story has also been brought up in past interviews, where allegedly, the name Holly was derived from Tom Delonge's first girlfriend, who left him for his older brother.

"Feeling This" was written by having Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge go into separate rooms without talking to each other. When they came out they realized they had both written about sex. When they put it together, the song represents the lustful side of sex in the verses, the passionate side in the bridge, and the romantic side in the chorus
