Funny, Interesting, Cool

"After Midnight" - Blink 182



You better "like" this cuz you'd be the only one that didn't like it and that'd be so, so, so sad. So just click on it. You know you want to. Give it the credit it deserves. Move that cursor. Go on now. I know you know what to do. Let the arrow guide you. It knows better. Much, much better than you. It knows its purpose is to show value to what matters most.

I'm glad Blink's back. It didn't make sense that they had to break up because they were so good together. Their last album before this is intoxicating to me. Their music made perfect sense, but then they stopped listening to each other and f@$ked it all up. It took a tragedy (unfortunately) and a bit of common sense (fortunately) for them to realize that no matter what other side projects they had going on and no matter who they attempted to collaborate with, they only enjoyed minimal success. Never the status and range we've seen them reach in the past. They were missed and finally they felt this "miss" grow and decided to reunite.

Interestingly enough, although I do enjoy this song it didn't hit me like the others. It caught my attention to turn the radio up in the midst of all the commotion, but it didn't mind-f@$k me like I'm used to. Or maybe I'm not so easily influenced as I had been before. Yet for a moment I did fall into a trance so I knew instantly it was them. They have a distinct sound that makes it pretty impossible to ignore. So, I grabbed my phone to find out the name of this new track. I wanted to play it back when there's no distractions to get in my way. Suddenly, I find myself heavily distracted.

Don't read into this. I'm talking music. Only music.


Lyrics:

I can't get my feet up off the edge
I kind of like the little rush you get
When you're standing close to death
Like when you're driving me crazy

Hold on as we crash into the earth
A bit of pain will help you suffer when you're hurt, for real
Cuz you are driving me crazy

Bite your lips, your words a robbery
Do you grin inside? You're killing me
All along we talked of forever
I kind of think that we won't get better
It's the longest start, but the end's not too far away
Did you know? I'm here to stay

We'll stagger home after midnight
Sleep arm-in-arm in the stairwell
We'll fall apart on the weekend
These nights go on and on and on

I can't keep your voice out of my head
All I hear are the many echoes of
The darkest words you said
And it's driving me crazy

I can't find the best in all of this
But I'm always looking out for you
Cuz you're the one I miss
And it's driving me crazy

Bite your lips, your words a robbery
Do you grin inside? You're killing me
All along we talked of forever
I kind of think that we won't get better
It's the longest start, but the end's not too far away
Did you know? I'm here to stay

We'll stagger home after midnight
Sleep arm-in-arm in the stairwell
We'll fall apart on the weekend
These nights go on and on and on
