What scares me so bad
Don't want to live my life alone
Don't want to go back to what I had
Don't want to spend my life without
All those special things
Don't want to walk around being tied to
Anyone else's
What scares me so bad
Don't want to live my life alone
Don't want to go back to what I had
All those special things
Don't want to walk around being tied to
Anyone else's
Strings, strings, strings, strings

being independent. Kick ass song.

i love this song..... You don't want to be stuck with anyone don;t want to be tied to anyones strings... Just want it simple!

i dont think this song is about being independent. Its about the paradox of wanting to love someone yet wanting to be totally independent as well. So many of lifes special things are found in the strings.

errr you just contradicted yourself you said you don't think the song is about being independent, then you said 'yet wanting to be totally independent as well'........ anyways i really like this song... except the part wheres hes actually saying strings it kinda doesnt sound as good as the rest but yeh good song

Actually, no, he didn't. He said that it isn't about being independent.. its about the conflict between love and independence. Two completely different things.

It's about not letting your significant other control your life. And if they are, then you're not really a part of the relationship right? And if that's the case, you're better off not being there.

yah i agree w/ schrodinger.........(this was a really pointless post but i really like this song!)

I think ed is emo's got this one nailed. It's not just independence, because this part "Don't want to live my life alone Don't want to go back to what I had Don't want to spend my life without All those special things"
It shows part of him wants to submit some independence to have a relationship.

this is another not so well known blink 182 that is awesome everyone should have a copy of buddha and cheshire cat

this song is amazing i agree its about not wanting to be too attatched..not wanting to be alone but still having some independence too
