| Blink-182 – I Miss You Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
I've liked this song for awhile, I used to think of it as being about someone coming to terms with the death of their partner. A few months ago though I got a different feeling about it. I had a pretty bad break up, it was just out of nowhere and we always talked about how it was gonna be us forever. I turned this song on and it was like each lyric related to my emotions. The first verse is about the man reminiscing on how he met her. "Hello there the angel from my nightmare" this line says a lot, I interpreted it as his life not going well like he was depressed and had no one to go to. Then when all hope was lost he met her and fell in love, seeing her as an angel sent to save him. Her love being a brightness in the dark. The rest of it establishes how close they become, always being in contact, doing things there way, and wishing the time they have together wilt never end. The second verse is him trying to sleep after she left him. "where are you and I'm so sorry I cannot sleep I cannot dream tonight" He's sitting there knowing she's gone but not used to her not being with him, he cant accept what happens and at first tries to blame himself "Im so sorry". He tries to sleep but he cant sleep she's the only thing on his mind preventing him from dreaming. "This sick strange darkness, comes creeping up so haunting overtime" hes trying to get his mind off it but every time the pain creeps back up on him and finds him. "Like indecision to call you and hear your voice of treason" He wants to call her and work things out but he knows she wont allow him so he's trying to resist. She promised to "live like Jack and Sally" and be there forever and now she's going back on her promise, her "words of treason". "Will you come home and stop this pain tonight? Stop this pain tonight!" He's gives in to the pain and calls her but this time has lost all hope and simply begs for her to come back so he can stop hurting. "Don't waste your time on me, you're already the voice inside my head" she feels bad for him and guilty for hurting him so she offers him a friendship and tells her she still wants to be there for him. He doesn't want this hollow friendship and tells her not to waste her time because all the loving things she said in the past were the only thing in his head. As the piano increases in speed he's panicking, coming to the realization this fake friendship is all she has to offer and his memories in his head are all he'll ever have. as it slows down again to echo the chorus its a bitter-sweet feeling, he is still heart broken over losing her but finds some peace in the memories he has in his head and his heart. |
