Terrified Lyrics

3deep5u introspective piece by Tom. Seems to be about Tom coming to grips with his life post-Blink 182 (2013 to 2022), in which he was no longer in the public eye and was free to live out a quieter existence while reminiscing back on the glory years of the band. He is surprised as the tabloid coverage of him dies down, and that people don't care about what he's up to now that he's not really an active celebrity/rockstar. "Welcome" to retirement, but the thought of never playing a show again "terrifies" him.

He starts to understand his arguments with Mark a little bit more, gets divorced, and gets married again as implied by the final verse.
