I never thought I'd die alone
I laughed the loudest who'd have known
I traced the cord back to the wall
No wonder it was never plugged in at all
I took my time, I hurried up
The choice was mine, I didn't think enough
I'm too depressed, to go on
You'll be sorry when I'm gone
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 till I got home
To pass the time in my room alone [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/b/blink_182/adams_song.html ]
I never thought I'd die alone
Another six months I'll be unknown
Give all my things to all my friends
You'll never step foot in my room again
You'll close it off, board it up
Remember the time that I spilled the cup
Of apple juice in the hall
Please tell mom this is not her fault
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 but we'd survived
I couldn't wait till I got home
To pass the time in my room alone
I never conquered, rarely came
Tomorrow holds such better days
Days when I could still feel alive
When I can't wait to get outside
The world is wide, the time goes by
The tour is over I survived
And I can't wait till I get home
To pass the time in my room alone
This song is very sad. I think it is in reflection to teenage suicide. This kid, 16 years old, just wants to stand out and be noticed. Nobody seems to care and he is wishing for his moment. He sits in his room depressed and hoping that someone out there cares. But, no one does. All that people remember him for is the stupid mistakes he has made. So as a result of feeling unloved and unnoticed by his peers, he commits suicide. And, in the suicide letter he tells what should be done with his stuff and to stress to his mother that its wasn't her fault, but his for not being able to cope. So sitting alone in his room is when he commits suicide.

The "tour" refers to the time being a dumb depressed teenager. He survived the tour, and i think he has figured out who he is and spending the time alone is how he likes it best. The whole last verse is past tense in the future.

The kid never commits suicide people. Read the last verse.

I think the line i couldnt wait till i got home to pass the time in my room alone is sarcastic as in no ones ever there to hang out with him
I feel really stupid cuz i didn't realize until about 5 minutes ago that this song was about suicide... I've heard this song like a million times and have been way too dumb to make the connection
The band made this song cuz someone wrote them a letter telling them he was going to and this has to be a good sond blink-182 rocks all the time... Dont doubt the band!! They rock!! :p
Ok first of all he doesnt die in his room, in fact he never even goes in his room... Its like a place in his mind that he can relate back to. Next, he does commit suicide because he talks about the letter that he left, and he wants to make sure his mom knows that it is not her fault at all. Noone ever saw who he really was other than the kid in the corner, and he really wanted to get out there and meet people but no one cared at all. He felt that there were so many better days reffering to when he wasnt as depressed and i also love how this song relates to kirt cobain :d... If you dont believe me compare the part i took my time i hurried up, the choice was mine i didnt think enough to come as you are lyrics. This is probably the most well written blink song there is, and even if oyu don't like it you sohld still resect it... I love it though... Please comment to blink kid and tell me what you think
It's about a kid whose going to or thinking about committing suicide. Hint the verses:
i took my time, i hurried up
i’m choice was mine, i didn’t think enough
i’m too depressed, to go on
you’ll be sorry when i’m gone
