| Blink-182 – Stockholm Syndrome Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
I actually saw it as an embodiment of war and the toll it takes on a soldier and more specifically with PTSD and the return home after the war. Especially with the lines "I'm so lost I'm barely here I wish I could explain myself But words escape me It's too late To save me You're too late" speak to a sort of desperation and emotional bereft. also the opening lyrics "This is the first (thing I remember) Now it's the last (thing left on my mind) Afraid of the dark (do you hear me whisper) An empty heart (replaced with paranoia) Where do we go (life's temporary) After we're gone (like new years resolutions) Why is this hard (do you recognize me) I know I'm wrong (but I can't help believing)" sound like someone recounting a dream or potentially the details of a combat situation but thats just me |

Its rather obvious in a way Its about him grieving over the loss of a girl (megan) and how he nearly kills himself over it "So i sat down on the tracks and waited for a train to take me back to you" (Old school way to go, he wants to join her in heaven) |

| So Skiba stated in an interview that this song specifically was dedicated to his ex at the time (Rosie O'Laskey) and it was his way of both apologizing for a failed relationship and asking her to take him back. | |

Its pretty straightforward actually Skiba was born in the seventies, his parents were teens in the late 50's early 60's so they may have remembered the Chicago snowstorm "Of 59" which is what it's mainly about and again "Trusty Chords" is a hotwater reference |

Its more than that with lines like "Still hung up on you" he doesn't just want to be liked, he wants an Ex (presumably Rosie O'Laskey) to be into him again |

At first I thought this was about Skiba's enjoyment of painting and art, and it is. At first I thought it was influenced by Andy Warhol's paintings but it turns out Skiba is good friends with Monica Warhol, a painter, hence the painting and art references. |
