yes songs just arn't lyrics thrown together even though some are jiberish. whats the story behind your favourite song? why did the band write it? what was the inspiration?
Adam's Song - blink 182
The story behind that is Mark read a letter someone sent him as an email, that a kid wrote before he committed suicide to his parents. We kind of got together and wrote this sad, slow song. It came out sadder than we ever thought it would, which is good too. Any song that moves you is good. Some people listen to it and go 'Wow, that's a real bum-out of a song.' But it's one of those things, a story of a kid not being happy in his life, crossed with us being really lonely on tour. At the end of it there's a better way out, there are better things to do than kill yourself.
Man Overboard - blink 182
During MTV's making the video, Tom said: "It's a song about losing a friend to drugs and alcohol". Although no one in the band said exactly who this song is about, I think you all have a pretty good idea. This song is about Blink-182's old drummer Scott Raynor. This is how Mark and Tom felt while Scott was getting high and drowning in his own sorrows.
