| Angels and Airwaves – Rite of Spring Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Well, as much as there could be hints of his feelings toward Blink in this song, I think the basis and idea for the song came from elsewhere. The punk movement (reference to a punk rock band) started mainly in Washington DC with a band called Minor Threat. Shortly after they broke up, an inspired fan of theirs, started his own band called Rites of Spring (ring a bell?), to keep the punk rock scene alive. The story told in this song tells of details seen in not only the lives of Minor Threat, but also Rites of Spring. Using this background knowledge, Tom certainly may have included his own feelings about his experience with Blink in the lyrics. That's just my educated guess on the meaning/roots of the song. =] | |
