anybody who thinks this song is a direct attack on tom is stupid. this verse: "Curse my enemies for ever Let's slit our wrists and burn down something beautiful This desperation leaves me overjoyed With fading lights that lead us past the lives that we destroyed" especially the third line, is intended to be interpreted as barbaric thinking, and is referring to the {what Mark now thinks of} stupid things they did that lead to blink-182's breakup. It's almost sarcastic, thought not quite, cuz it actually happened. Curse my enemies forever - (He was looking in the short term, not thinking about the legacy of the band, a barbaric idea) Let's slit our wrists and burn down something beautiful - (let's destroy the beautiful blink-182 and ruin our fame) This desperation leaves me overjoyed - (this is sarcasm) With fading lights that lead us past the lives that we destroyed - (im not sure but I think that +44 and ava are fading lights whereas blink-182 is a gleaming light) and then look at the verse before that: Please understand This isn't just goodbye This is "I can't stand you" This is where the road crashed into the ocean It rises all around me And now we're barely breathing A thousand faces will choose to ignore "This" is referring to the actual breakup of blink-182 this is where the road crashed into the ocean - (this is where blink-182's future was destroyed) it rises all around me - (im not sure, i think its to show that he's trapped out of blink-182 because Tom ultimately quit the band. and now we're barely breathing - (if you watched the blink-182 documentaries, you can tell that Mark, Tom, and Travis were the best of friends and loved spending every moment with eachother, regardless of anything. And i'm sure that Tom's new ava bandmates, and Mark and Travis' new +44 bandmates are nowhere near as close) a thousand faces we'll choose to ignore - (the fans obviously wish that blink-182 had never of broken up.) but the last verse at the very end of the song where it ends at i cant stand you, i think that is an insult to tom. But that's the only part that directly insults him, the rest of the song justifies it. That's all i'm gonna contribute, the rest of you have said everything else. |
