Bored To Death Lyrics

I think the meaning is pretty simple. The singer is in a relationship and he's getting bored with it, the voices in his head keep getting louder telling him he needs to end it. He finally has enough "I'm not coming home".

And even though the relationship does have some good times, he knows it won't work in the long run so better to end it now instead of wasting time in a dead end relationship "life is too short to last long".

I also think part of this Singh could be about Tom leaving Blink. Maybe Mark got bored waiting now for Mark wanting to record new music. "A long way back since 17" could be a reference to when their friendship started.

I love this song though and I always preferred the songs Mark sang over Tom so I'm not devastated he left. I love the bridge part of this song "I think I met her at te minute that the rhythm was set down...". I think the new singer sounds a lot like Mark though which is good and bad. I really can't tell what parts Mark songs and what parts the new singer sings. Anyone know?
