Blink-182

thumb|Stay and play that Blink-182 song that we beat to death in Tucson. ~ Halsey blink-182 is an American rock band formed in Poway, California, in 1992. Since 2015, the lineup of the band has consisted of bassist/vocalist Mark Hoppus, drummer Travis Barker, and lead guitarist/vocalist Matt Skiba. Founded by lead guitarist/vocalist Tom DeLonge, Hoppus, and drummer Scott Raynor, the band emerged from the Southern California punk scene of the early 1990s and first gained notoriety for high-energy live shows and irreverent lyrical toilet humor. Song lyrics Cheshire Cat (1995) All tracks written by Tom DeLonge and Mark Hoppus. Additional lyrics on "Wasting Time" by Jeff Forrest. I talk to you every now and then,I never felt so alone again.I stop to think at a wishing well,My thoughts send me on a carousel.Here I am standing on my own,Not a motion from the telephone.I know not a reason whySolitude's a reason to die. Carousel 'Cause when I'm with you there's nothing I wouldn't do.I just wanna be your only one.I'm grasping out at straws thinking back to what I sawThat night on the floor when we were all alone. M+M's Sometimes I sit at home andWonder if she's sitting at homeThinking of me and wondering if I'mSitting at home, thinking about her.Or am I just wasting my time? Wasting Time Dude Ranch (1997) All tracks written by Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, and Scott Raynor. And it's happened once againI'll turn to a friendSomeone that understands,Sees through the master plan.But everybody's goneAnd I've been here for too longTo face this on my own.Well, I guess this is growing up.Well, I guess this is growing up. Dammit And when I feel like giving up, like my world is falling down,I show up at 3 A.M., she's still up watching Vacation.And I see her pretty face, it takes me away to a better place, andI know that everything,Know that everything,Know that everything,Everything's gonna be fine. Josie (Everything's Gonna Be Fine) Enema of the State (1999) All tracks written by Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge. She's a dove, she's a fuckin' nightmare,Unpredictable, it's my mistake to stay here.On the go and it's way too late to play,I need a girl that I can train. Dumpweed And that's about the time she walked away from me.Nobody likes you when you're 23.And are still more amused by TV shows.What the hell is ADD?My friends say I should act my age.What's my age again?What's my age again? What's My Age Again? I never conquered, rarely came.16 just held such better days.Days when I still felt alive.We couldn't wait to get outside.The world was wide, too late to try.The tour was over, we'd survived.I couldn't wait 'til I got homeTo pass the time in my room alone. Adam's Song All the, small thingsTrue care, truth bringsI'll take, one liftYour ride, best tripAlways, I knowYou'll be, at my show.Watching, waiting,Commiserating.Say it ain't so,I will not go.Turn the lights off,Carry me home. All the Small Things Late night, come home.Work sucks, I know.She left me roses by the stairs.Surprises let me know she cares. All the Small Things Take Off Your Pants and Jacket (2001) All tracks written by Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge and Travis Barker. When you smile, I melt inside.I'm not worthy for a minute of your time.I really wish it was only me and you.I'm jealous of everybody in the room.Please don't look at me with those eyes;Please don't hint that you're capable of lies.I dread the thought of our very first kiss,A target that I'm probably gonna miss. First Date Because I fell in love with the girl at the rock showShe said "what?" and I told her that I didn't know.She's so cool, gonna sneak in through her window.Everything's better when she's around.I can't wait 'til her parents go out of town.I fell in love with the girl at the rock show. The Rock Show So here's your holiday.Hope you enjoy it this time, you gave it all away.It was mine, so when you're dead and gone,Will you remember this night, twenty years now lost?It's not right. Stay Together for the Kids blink-182 (2003) All tracks written by Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, and Travis Barker, except where noted. Fate fell short this time,Your smile fades in the summer.Place your hand in mine.I'll leave when I wanna. Feeling This Hello there,The angel from my nightmare,The shadow in the background of the morgue,The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley. I Miss You Where are you and I'm so sorryI cannot sleep I cannot dream tonight.I need somebody and alwaysThis sick strange darknessComes creeping on so haunting every time.And as I stare I countedThe webs from all the spiders,Catching things and eating their insides.Like indecision to call youAnd hear your voice of treason.Will you come home and stop this pain tonight?Stop this pain tonight. I Miss You Don't waste your time on me you're alreadyThe voice inside my head (I miss you, I miss you). I Miss You This is the first (thing I remember)Now it's the last (thing left on my mind)Afraid of the dark (do you hear me whisper?)An empty heart (replaced with paranoia)Where do we go? (life's temporary)After we're gone (like New Year's resolutions)Why is this hard? (do you recognize me?)I know I'm wrong (but I can't help believing). Stockholm Syndrome Tidal waves, they rip right through meTears from eyes worn cold and sadPick me up now, I need you so bad. Down I've been here before a few timesAnd I'm quite aware we're dying.And your hands they shake with goodbyes.And I'll take you back if you'd have me.So here I am, I'm trying.So here I am, are you ready? Always With all of this I know nowEverything inside of my headIt all just goes to show howNothing I know changes me at allAgain I wait for this to change insteadTo tear the world in twoAnother night with her,But I'm always wanting you. All of This, written by Hoppus, DeLonge, Barker, and Robert Smith I swear that I can go on forever againPlease let me know that my one bad day will end.I will go down as your lover, your friend.Give me your lips and with one kiss, we begin.Are you afraid of being alone?Because I am, I'm lost without you.Are you afraid of leaving tonight?Because I am, I'm lost without you. I'm Lost Without You Neighborhoods (2011) All tracks written by Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, and Travis Barker. Yeah II saw your ghost tonight.The moment felt so real.If your eyes stay right on mine,My wounds would start to heal. Ghost on the Dance Floor Everyone wants to call it all around our life with a better name.Everyone falls and spins and gets up again with a friend who does the same.Everyone lies and cheats their wants and needs and still believes their heart.And everyone gets the chills, the kind that kills when the pain begins to start. Up All Night Blackjack and architect,Let's drink ourselves to death.The crimes of everyonePassed down from father to son.Hopeless and destitute.Destroyed my gratitude.Your strongest lines of defense are all just self-inflicted wounds.You seemed so sweet at the start but the start's all wrong.You say you speak from your heart but your heart's all gone. Heart's All Gone California (2016) All tracks written by Mark Hoppus, Travis Barker, Matt Skiba and John Feldmann, except where noted. Save your breath, I'm nearlyBored to death and fading fast.Life is too short to last long.Back on earth I'm broken,Lost and cold and fading fast.Life is too short to last long. Bored to Death We're falling faster than we can flyForgotten seconds out on Sunset Drive.And I hold on tight but not enough to hold you back. Home Is Such a Lonely Place, written by Hoppus, Barker, Skiba, Feldmann, and David Hodges Quotes about Blink-182 No discussion of pop punk can take place without mention of blink-182. Reverb.com Richard Blenkinsop (April 26, 2021) For many, ["Dammit"] was the introduction to pop punk guitar playing. It's not the most advanced riff to play, but you just had to learn it, so that means it deserves honourable mention for the influence it has had on aspiring guitar players. Cameron Hurley of We Are the In Crowd, as quoted by Claire Davies of MusicRadar (13 May 2014) [The band's fourth album] Take Off Your Pants And Jacket [is] a masterclass in pop punk writing.
