In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Don't leave me all alone
Just drop me off at home
I'll be fine, it's not the first
Just like last time, but a little worse, and
She said that I'm not the one that she thinks about and
She said it stopped being fun, I just bring her down
I said, "Don't let your future be destroyed by my past"
She said, "Don't let my door hit your ass"
One more chance, I'll try this time
I'll give you yours, I won't take mine
I'll listen up, pretend to care
Go on ahead, I'll meet you there, and
She said that I'm not the one that she thinks about and
She said it stopped being fun, I just bring her down
I said, "Don't let your future be destroyed by my past"
She said, "Don't let my door hit your ass"
Let's try this one more time with feeling
One more time with feeling
One more time with feeling
One more time with feeling
She said that I'm not the one that she thinks about and
She said it stopped being fun, I just bring her down
I said, "Don't let your future be destroyed by my past"
She said, "Don't let my door hit your ass"
Don't leave me all alone
Just drop me off at home
And I'll be fine
Just drop me off at home
I'll be fine, it's not the first
Just like last time, but a little worse, and
She said that I'm not the one that she thinks about and
She said it stopped being fun, I just bring her down
I said, "Don't let your future be destroyed by my past"
She said, "Don't let my door hit your ass"
One more chance, I'll try this time
I'll give you yours, I won't take mine
I'll listen up, pretend to care
Go on ahead, I'll meet you there, and
She said that I'm not the one that she thinks about and
She said it stopped being fun, I just bring her down
I said, "Don't let your future be destroyed by my past"
She said, "Don't let my door hit your ass"
Let's try this one more time with feeling
One more time with feeling
One more time with feeling
One more time with feeling
She said that I'm not the one that she thinks about and
She said it stopped being fun, I just bring her down
I said, "Don't let your future be destroyed by my past"
She said, "Don't let my door hit your ass"
Don't leave me all alone
Just drop me off at home
And I'll be fine

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
They're not really going to break up. My favorite BLink line, "...one more time with feeling," is the crux of this song. As in, that's what directors say to actors when they want them to ham it up. He's putting on an act. He's not really sorry about his actions, but that's okay because she's not serious about leaving him either. They're just playing the "breakup" game where one partner threatens the other to get the apology and affirmation that he/she wants and the other one plays along and they have a merry little tiff and everything's back to normal in a day or two. Like the song says, "It's not the first" time this has happened, and it won't be the last.
dont you just love how people come onto the blink lyrics page just to express how much they think they hate blink? but, of course, we all know that blink182 is the coolest band ever. some people just feel insecure about themselves and other people's opinions about them so they feel the need to deny thier love for blink182. and they cause naive (i cant spell) people like LS87 to do stupid things like, "sorry if i offended you, but SOME punks really piss me off, " as if you can actually classify people by such petty, insignificant terms. but enough haranguing, i think this song might be about how mark has herpes. i dont know if he does or not, but on the live album, he goes, "this song is about my herpes." and that i might be right becasue, "I said 'Dont let your future be destroyed by my past' She said 'Dont let my door hit your ass' " it sounds like he got herpes, from his past, and he doesnt want it to ruin his girlfriends future if she gets it from him. and then shes like "ew, you have herpes, get away from me." but then again, you know how these pop-punk bands are with the constant jokes about stds, so it might not be true. wait crap. you see how all the posts on this page have that gray box on top with the member's name and the date and time? and under that gray box is a line? some are red, some are blue, and some are a daker gray? why is that? what's with the difference in color? it kinda makes you wonder.
This song is about breaking up.
i said dont let your future be destroyed by my past she said dont let my door hit your ass
great quote about future destroyeed by past, and the second line there cracks me up...
one of the better blink 182 songs.. it's mostly about breaking up
I've never heard this song but the lyrics sound good. Reminds me of my last boyfriend when we were breaking up! :-(
This song is about loneliness and wanting more than what you've got. He just wants to please her but she's a bitch
Blink = Pop Listening to it = death
False. They have been catagorized as punk or if you want to be specific they are pop-punk.Get educated you ignorant troll
hell yeah!
what kind of music do you people listen to? i hate when people do shit like that...why would you say they suck when you are on a blink song page? yeah, you're cool
