Blink-182 - Adam's Song Lyrics






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
Sixteen 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 home
To pass the time in my room alone

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
Sixteen 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 home
To pass the time in my room alone

I never conquered, rarely came
Tomorrow holds such better days
Days when I can still feel alive
When I can't wait to get outside
The world is wide, the time goes by
The tour is over, I've survived
I can't wait 'til I get home
To pass the time in my room alone

    "Please tell Mom this is not her fault." This phrase is important. For me is very important. I don't want to hurt my parents and some friends (very friend)- However it's living in this mode. Yesterday I wrote an phrase at a girl, she's pretty and I wrote "Good photo"- She's blocked me :/ Maybe I Suck... Now I'm thinking if She was accept me, what are you doing now? It was more happy or no? I don't know :/

    Lovely day to live but the next to shortly die. Life is twisted and at some points may be dry. What doesn't kill ya makes ya stronger. Be sincere and true friends.

  20. D.... P....

    "I laughed the loudest who'd have known?"
    I think of this line a lot.

  21. A.... K....

    Sad song.
    Lost my best friend to suicide almost 8 weeks ago.

  22. I.... R....

    A few years ago I had gotten myself to a point where I decided to finally do it, as opposed to merely thinking about it all the time. I waited until it was dark, so the little girls next door wouldn't see, tied a perfect noose, threw it over the only branch I could reach in the big Live Oak next to my place, put it around my neck, and let myself slide off of the lawn chair I was standing on. I felt completely at peace. I wasn't kicking like you see in movies. Just serenely hanging there waiting for the end. I remember thinking about my sisters right before I blacked out. The next thing I saw were 2 police officers standing over me, one doing that knuckle thing on my sternum. They rolled up and cut me down. I was maybe 15 seconds at most from succeeding. The only reason they were even there was because my sister, who I hadnt talked to in a year, called the local PD in my town in Texas, and asked them to check on me. She made that call from her home back in Ohio. Later that evening I got a very rare opportunity to witness what the effect would have been on my other sister. She was at work and she misunderstood why she was being called to the phone. She thought they said that her brother had committed suicide, when they actually said I had been unsuccessful. I will never forget the sound that she made just before I heard her collapse to the floor.


    Life is rough and full of pain. There isnt any gentle way to say that. But it does get better. Hang on. Reach out. Talk to someone. Anyone. Message me for fuck's sake. I'll sit up with you for 2 days if I have to.
    I am addiction counselor now, and I like to think that I'm good at my job. Don't leave them with that impossible weight to forever drag around behind them. I'm here. I love you. I will help you.


    Still Hanging Around,


    Phil

  23. A.... ....

    Sitting at my dining room table doing my English project to this song because it has to be about something depressing. Never heard it before I had to write about it, I only realized how powerful the song really was when I read the lyrics. Strength to anyone going through anything rn. It will get better. Love.

    Memories for my teenage years in the 90s and for some of my friends who died by suicide in the 2000s. They were the best, organizing parties at their house during the week-end when their parents were gone.

    No worries I just drank too much last night. Drinking brings out the worst in me. Was my first time drinking in 2 months. I'm only suicidal when I get drunk, unfortunately it's every single time. I actually put a blade to my wrist and everything.

    �.... ....

    @•E•Z•Z•Y• Don't get drunk. Get buzzed at most. Chill tf out. I've got enough people to convince on YT, I've got vids to search and people to talk to. Peace bruv

  55. S.... M....

    Só lembra a juventude... Na escola..... 😔 na rádio do colégio estava sempre nas mais pedidas.... Tempo bom que não volta mais 😔😥

  56. S.... E....

    How to check if you have a heart:
    1. Listen to this song
    2. Check your eyes for tears; tears present = positive❤️, tears absent = negative💔

    S.... E....

    No tears, I'm a bad person? Lol

    S.... E....

    @Fran Tosca if youre negative i dont think youre not a bad person

  57. d.... ....

    If you haven't isolated yourself and listened to this song a dozen times in a row, have you really ever listened to this song at all?

  61. C.... D....

    "Tomorrow holds such better days"

    The final chorus is my favorite part of the entire song.

  62. F.... V....

    Adiós a mi viejo yo.

  63. k.... ....

    lookin' like its five degrees tonight

  64. S.... ....

    How many kids killed themselves with this on repeat?

  65. V.... S....

    never gets old

  66. K.... ....

    I’ve been listening to blink for about 2 months and now that juice died this song helped me go through the day

    K.... ....

    It's really tragic that he died.

  67. C.... B....

    This song makes me wonder. I wish dying wasn't forever. Sometimes living is hell. But I keep on telling myself just one more day. And I say this every day. Just one more day

    C.... B....

    @배핸아 what do you mean

    C.... B....

    Chris Bonilla was replying to the guy telling you to take drugs.

    C.... B....

    @배핸아 I rather talk to a cute little thing like you

    C.... B....

    @Chris Bonilla You're totally not creepy...

    C.... B....

    What if living is forever? I mean it seems like this moment wont end whether im here or not. But this moment is not mine, it is ours. In every moment i live and so do you. But when you die, you will be here still and death is how u become one with the energy again. You are still the energy now, just trapped in a conscious perception due to our bodies senses. You just manifest the energy through thoughts.

  68. d.... ....

    “I can’t wait ‘til I get home to pass the time in my room alone.” That line maybe one of the saddest lines in a song.

    d.... ....

    dab it’s my life

    d.... ....

    that used to be what I always said when I was in school but now I hate being alone and thats all I get for years

    d.... ....

    @turtole legs these kids dont understand, but they will soon enough.

    d.... ....

    For me it's

    Of Apple juice in the hall.

    Please tell Mom this not her fault.

    d.... ....

    You could look at it that way but Mark said that the ending lyrics imply the person was comfortable enough to be alone by himself and not feel the need to think about suicide anymore - so actually it’s quite triumphant.

  69. A.... S....

    Blood and scars.

  70. D.... ....

    Who’s here because they know Juice Wrld was a huge Blink fan.. RIP Juice

  71. L.... D....

    Nobody is askin about that apple juice though real sad I like apple juice they say not to cry over spilled milk so I wont but apple juice is a different story

  72. R.... W....

    This is the song that I listened to on the night I thought I would end it all. I'm grateful to say that 3 years later, I'm in a much better place. I have come so much further than I ever thought I would. I'm clean.

  73. A.... G....

    Woolie sent me here

  74. A.... A....

    This is by far their best song

  75. E.... F....

    Come as you are - Nirvana *"Take your time, hurry up
    The choice is yours, don't be late
    Take a rest as a friend
    As an old" gay screaming.

  76. i.... c....

    still love this song

  77. J.... O....

    Brother ... que saudade dessa época 😥

  78. S.... i....

    Anyone else feel like you have nothing to live for when you know you have alot to live for????

  79. T.... C....

    I'm 42. A podcast host. A father of three. I just used this song to talk to my son about mental health and suicide. He has a friend whose parents are getting a divorce, and he (my son) assured me he (the friend) "was happy and laughing all the time".

    It made an impact. Tears were had. I watched my son understand, if just a little bit, how sad this world can be sometimes...but, that we can do something by simply being there.

    I've listened to this song for more than 20 years, and I have never...never made it through without crying. Tonight, four eyes shared the tears.

  80. R.... R....

    hi ... im Adam, and i am in my room, alone after sharing it with someone else for 9 years

  81. B.... ....

    This is my favourite song by them.

  82. A.... P....

    I remember being in high school when this song came out and MTV used to still cover news and some guy hung himself and had this song playing when his parents found him. That day I realized I was not the only one with depression..that is what great music does it brings us together.
