I never thought, I'd die alone
I laughed the loudest who'd of known?
I traced the cord back to the wall
No wonder it was never pluged in at all
I took my time, I hurried up
The choice was mine I didn't think enough
I'm too depresed to go on,
You'll be sorry when im gone
I never conquered, rarely came
16 just held such better days
Days when I still felt alive
We couldnt wait to get outside
The world was wise, too late to try
The tour was over we'd survived
I couldn't wait till I got home
To pass the time in my room alone
I never thought I'd die alone
Another of six months I'll be unknown
Give all my things to all my friends
You'll never step foot in my room again
You'll close it off, board it up
Remember the time that I spilled the cup
Of apple juice, in the hall
Please tell mom this is not her falt.
I never conqeured, rarely came
16 just held such better days
D ays when Istill felt alive
We couldnt wait to get outside
The world was watching, hate to try
The tour was over wed survived
I couldn't wait till I got home
To pass the time in my room alone
I never conquered, rarely came
Tomorrow holds such better days
Days when I can still feel alive
When I can't wait to get outside
The world is watching, the time goes by
The tour was over I've surivied
I cant wait till I get home
To pass the time in my room alone

Now that I look at this song. It is really emo. Even though Blink is not emo. But, you get the point. It's one of those songs. It isn't about killing yourself, but more of regret and sorrow for wanting to be young again. But at the end, it resolves that the future holds a better future. That is pretty emo in my words, but none the less, an amazing song.

It is about a kid killing himself. Just read the lyrics: I never thought I'd die alone
Another of six months I'll be unknown
Give all my things to all my friends
You'll never step foot in my room again." And when I go back and listen to this song now, I find that it's really annoying. The only good part of it really is the little drum solo Travis does.

If you listen to the lyrics it's more than just suicide. The chorus sounds to me like a reference to a tour of duty in Vietnam, which makes this song all the more incredible. It kinda bridges generations and lets everyone know that teens these days aren't alone, people before us have thought about suicide too. I'm not sayin' that's what they meant for when they wrote it, that is just what I get out of it. I love bands that have really good lyrics that you have to really think about. It adds a whole new dynamic to enjoying a band.

Good song. The lyrics are better than the song itself. It's about a fan who killed himself, if you didn't know. The lyrics are really realistic about what goes through your brain when you're teetering on the edge. The kid would be proud of Blink182, though. They're not my cup of tea at all but I respect this song immensely.

Yiiiir....the song was as far as I know written, after a fan called Adam, sent blink182 a suicide letter, and then killed himself.

But the song kinda makes me wanna live rather than die, so I guess they tried to do it in a hopefull way.
