This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
A freight train to the right
Feeling that sting of pride
It's fucking with me, it's fucking with you
All's fair in love and war
Until you say it isn't but you're wrong
Words on the back of flyers
My clothes are in the dryer
It means nothing, nothing is changing
La familia is dead and gone
The children grew up and moved on
Is it too much to ask for the things to work out this time?
I'm only asking for what is mine
I wanted everything, I got it and now I'm gonna
Throw it away, I'll throw it away, yeah
Prime select and a box of glazed
Pulling fly-bys on days when we were young and innocent
Elbow-drop Sundays when Mark Eaton got beat to shit
Laugh at the bands we hate
All the spots we used to skate
Well they're still there, but we've gone our own ways
I know it's for the best but sometimes I wonder
Will I ever have friends like you again?
Is it too much to ask for the things to work out this time?
I'm only asking for what is mine
I wanted everything, I got it and now I'm gonna
Throw it away, I'll throw it away, yeah
Is it too much to ask for the things to work out this time?
I'm only asking for what is mine
I wanted everything, I got it and now I'm gonna
Throw it away, I'll throw it away, yeah
You're gonna drown in the mess you make
Your self-inflicted hate
You turn your back on the friends you lose
When they don't follow all your rules
But people are what they wanna be
They're not lemmings to the sea
Maybe it's time you looked at yourself
And stop blaming life on someone else
Feeling that sting of pride
It's fucking with me, it's fucking with you
All's fair in love and war
Until you say it isn't but you're wrong
Words on the back of flyers
My clothes are in the dryer
It means nothing, nothing is changing
La familia is dead and gone
The children grew up and moved on
Is it too much to ask for the things to work out this time?
I'm only asking for what is mine
I wanted everything, I got it and now I'm gonna
Throw it away, I'll throw it away, yeah

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

that verse is so good
this song is just all about growing up and losing your friends.
i think that dude ranch was probably their best album and this was one of their better songs on that one
I read on a site what Mark said this song was about. Ot was about a friend he had, who expected everyone to be "lemmings". Lemmings are animals who follow each other and jump into the sea to their deaths. I did some research on why a little while back, but it says nobody knows for sure why. Anyway, his friend expected everyone to follow him and do what he does. Hence the line "People are what they want to be, they're not lemmings to the sea." That's what it said at cb182.com. I love this song. It's my fav. song from Blink ever.
ahh shit. come on people! i love this song so much. its great, if you havent heard, do download it. Its so great its just like about growing up and stuff. and then it goes into a song totally directed at a girl but i dunno about that part as much. whatever, point is its good.
This song here is about when you have everything and everything is perfect and you get tired and just throw it all away
After Dude Ranch they became poster boys for Mtv's moronic little 13 year old girls who want to "rebel'. Thats a run on sentence...Oh yeah Dude Ranch is the best one lately...
God, this song is so effing great! I love Blink 182. I just started listening to all their CD's again. Dude Ranch has always been their best in my mind. This song is espically close to me. 'All the spots we used to skate. They're still there, but we've gone our own ways. ' Pretty much explains me and my old friends. And yeah, I have had friends who blamed people for their problems, and they need to change. This song and CD is so amazing. Anyone who doesn't own this CD is missing out on the REAl Blink.
probably my favorite song off of blink's best album. the last two verses sort became my anthem when a couple of my friends went crazy on me. i love it how, especially on DUDE RANCH, blink always seems to capture exactly what i'm feeling in certain situations. that's why they're my favorite band and always will be whether or not people think they've "sold out." when you get down to it, their music is just plain AWESOME and it really connects with me. it doesn't change a thing if people vote for them on TRL or whatever.
This is one of my favorite songs on dude ranch besides dammit and josie...but neway i kno what mark is saying in this song about how some friends are so god damn bossy and blame all their faults on you! So whenever i see that person or whoever this song lets me know that every1 knos sum1 like that..
They're still there, but we've gone our own ways I know it's for the best but sometimes I wonder Will I ever have friends like you again? aww it is almost enough to make ya cry. its about growing up and moving on. Is it too much to ask for the things to work out this time? I'm only asking for what is mine this part kinda makes you think how nothing ever seems to go right
