Anthem Part 3 Lyrics
Everything that we've tried
We'll keep waking up to that light
We'll see rising of a new tide
We are starting up a new life
When your head is hanging too low
When your heart is about to explode
You can make it anywhere, go
There's no fear when you get here, give up that ghost
When your dreams just seem like they're dead
Like embalming deep in your head
When your job has gone to deep shit
If you've fallen off of that list
When you're clinching both of your fists
Like you aimed and then you just missed
Let the record show that you're fixed
Don't you give up now, just get up and resist
This time, I won't be complacent
The dreams I gave up and wasted
A new high, a new ride and I'm on fire
My hope shit ends here tonight
And after you had the time of your life
Flat-lined and lead toward the light
You'll despair the wreckage and find
No-one gave a fuck that you died
This time, I won't be complacent
The dreams I gave up and wasted
A new high, a new ride and I'm on fire
My hope shit ends here tonight
It's my high, it's my mind
All made up, it's alright
If I fall on some nails
If I win or set sail
I won't fail
I won't fail
We'll keep waking up to that light
We'll see rising of a new tide
We are starting up a new life
When your head is hanging too low
When your heart is about to explode
You can make it anywhere, go
There's no fear when you get here, give up that ghost
Like embalming deep in your head
When your job has gone to deep shit
If you've fallen off of that list
When you're clinching both of your fists
Like you aimed and then you just missed
Let the record show that you're fixed
Don't you give up now, just get up and resist
The dreams I gave up and wasted
A new high, a new ride and I'm on fire
My hope shit ends here tonight
Flat-lined and lead toward the light
You'll despair the wreckage and find
No-one gave a fuck that you died
The dreams I gave up and wasted
A new high, a new ride and I'm on fire
My hope shit ends here tonight
All made up, it's alright
If I fall on some nails
If I win or set sail
I won't fail
I won't fail

This is the intro track on Blink-182's 2023 album "One More Time..." It is the sequel to Anthem (1999) and Anthem Pt. 2 (2001). The lyrics appear to be an older, wiser Tom DeLonge looking back on his youth, writing a letter to himself encouraging him not to be discouraged at the general insanity of life in your 20's, such as working at awful jobs or not having your hopes and dreams pan out. It's basically a general motivational anthem. Hence the title.
would love to know what "despair the wreckage" means???
