I love this song so much. And blink. And tom. (btw tom you better come back mister) This song is actually genius. Blink-182 is amazing with making simple catchy tunes and all but they are also really good at portraying the mood/feeling of the subject/lyrics. Its just awesome. I think that is more important as an musician than just performing "good" or being too decorated in appearance/style. And I hate how people say blink sucks/stupid. Oh well i feel bad for those people.

Okay now Carousel! So this song is so good because we can all relate to it somehow. It's magical.

"I stop to think at a wishing well My thoughts send me on a carousel" to me this means he is having a bit of a problem in his life --> goes to a wishing well to peacefully think (maybe WISH for a better something). But he has so much on his mind that his head is spinning like a carousel.

"I know not a reason why Solitudes a reason to die" We all know how horrible loneliness is. One of the worst things for humans. I agree, it does feel like a reason to die

"Just you wait and see (just you wait and see) As school life is a It is a woken dream" I like this because i feel like tom is speaking to me. I'm still a sophomore at highschool and this song wakes me up from my glumness and i remind myself that i should be thankful for my school time, it only comes once you know <-- stuff like that. I also think and relate to "woken dream". School life is a bore sometimes. In class, i often just daydream. I am awake but dreaming. Its awesome to hear tom say it.

"Aren't you feeling alone?" sometimes I wanna answer tom. YES I DO

"Now as I walk down the street I need a job just to sleep in sheets Buying food every once in a while But not enough to purchase a smile A tank of gas is a treasure to me I know now that nothing is free I talk to you every now and then I never felt so alone again" I dont think i can explain this part right because it is already so perfect unexplained. Also... im not out of the house living on my own yet so i can't relate yet. I guess i will understand it better when im older.

"I guess its just another I guess its just another Night alone" To me somehow blink makes this line not sound depressing. Even if the line itself is a bit sad. I don't know how to describe it xD but blink-182 music, you just have to listen to it, and feel tha feelings

I LUV THIS SONG
