Here are the meanings of the Blink 182 Songs.
Take Off Your Pants And Jacket
Told By Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge
First Date by Tom Meanings for: Take Off Your Pants And Jacket | Enema Of The State | Dude Ranch/Misc. Songs | Cheshire Cat/Buddha
Every dude gets nervous whether we admit it or not. I thought
about the first date I had with my lady and put every one of those
feelings in this song. I always envy girls. If they want a kiss,
it's super easy, they just open their face and do it. For a guy,
you have to hope to God she wants one. If not, you are a chump
and you go home a wounded soldier. - Has anyone ever kissed someone
with bad breath? Don't ever kiss someone who eats dog shit.
Anthem Pt. 2
by Tom
This is a song that I'm super proud of. It is really all
about being a kid and feeling like fuck, if everybody says I'm
fucked up and I'm wrong and I need to act differenty then hey
- it's your fault (the adults) cause they are the ones that chose
my schools, laws, and well... you get the picture.
Reckless Abandon
by Tom
Everybody has old summer memories. This is my song about
going to the beach and hanging with my homeslices. This song is
about going skateboarding from 12 noon to 12 midnight every day
of the week. And most of all, it's about going to parties when
peoples' parents were gone. This is a song about kids recking
the town and leaving a sign to the next generation... one that
they will have to top.
Please Take Me Home
by Tom
Every boy falls in love every once in awhile with a friend
of theirs. A girlfried. Not a dude friend. Unless of course, you
like dudes, and that's fine too. Anyway, this song is crazy influenced
by one of my favorite bands, Fugazi. This is one of my top fav
songs on the record. I think it sounds so cool, it just has a
cool groove to it. Next record will leave more songs like this
and STFTK. These songs are fun to play. Oh yeah, girls take hearts
and eat them, beware dudes.
Don't Tell Me It's
Over by
Tom
One of my favorite lines I ever wrote is: "Guys like
to run, chicks love to yell you see, guys hate to fight, girls
think it's therapy." This is more true then air. Dudes are
like, calm down, and chicks need to talk it out over a period
of two weeks.
Give Me One Good
Reason by
Tom
I felt like I was the only one in high school who liked
my kind of music. Punk rock was only listened to by me, and a
couple of skinhead friends. Anti-racist skins. Since 7th grade,
that's all I ever listened to. Punk rock to me is about being
who you are and hating everyone else. Luckily there happens to
be some music to go along with the feeling. Never ever try to
be like the popular kids. Fuck them. regardless of what people
say, I've been a punker since 7th grade, when most of our fans
were in kindergarten. So never confirm, love who you are. Fuckers.
What Went Wrong
by Tom
All songs start on acoustic guitars for us. So this one,
we left on the acoustic. I love this song. It's so sad, and pretty,
and has that sappy little clarinet thing in it. There is a song
that starts the movie "Angus". This song was inspired
by that song. The band is called "Love spit Love." It's
the guy from a cool 80's band called Physcadellic Furs.
Time To Break Up
by Tom
Guys can never please girls. They are two species that
will never see eye to eye. My friend Blair, he's standing in line
for Enema, and broke up with this chick and freaked out. He second
guessed everything. He realized that maybe he shouldn't have broken
up with her. Well, alot of people do that. With your wite someone,
the grass is always greener. Then when you part, you start to
miss all the cool things that only you can share. You better be
damn sure when you leave somebody, you might not get them back
when you come to your senses.
Story Of A Lonely
Guy by
Tom
Another song about heartache - I remember always feeling
like the world might be a little different if everybody wasn't
such a pussy and said what they wanted to people they liked. The
problem is, people are too scared of rejection. How many times
have you seen somebody somewhere, but didn't say a thing. Next
time, fuck it, if you like someone, say something. The worst that
could happen is they'll smile and say "thanks" or "no
thanks". -Note- The little "duh da duhs" are inspired
from listening to David Bowie in the skateboard film "The
End".
The Rock Show by
Mark
A few years ago there used to be a club in San Diego called
"Soma". It was covered with Graffitti, it stunk, it
was made of metal, the sound sucked, and the toilets were always
overflowing. It was the best, we loved it. We used to watch bands
play there every weekend. Blink-182 began in this club. This song
is about those days. Soma isn't around anymore. The city hates
it when kids have somewhere to go and hang out. Fuck them.
Everytime I Look For You by
Mark
I honestly have no idea what this one is about.
Happy Holidays, You Bastard
by Mark
This song is the one that really pisses your parents off.
I wrote this song on Christmas Eve, because I was way behind on
wrapping presents, and rather then take carer of the problem,
I picked up a guitar and wrote a fucked up song about it. I finished
wrapping them at about 3 in the morning.
Online Songs by
Mark
Have you ever broken up with a girl? Yeah, me too. This
song is about the thoughts that drive you crazy when a relationship
ends. Tom knows this feeling well. He has no friends. Girls hate
him, and with good reason. So I guess this song is really about
Tom and how he hates it when girls break his heart.
Roller Coaster
by Mark
I used to date this girl, and I couldn't tell anyone about
it. The whole situation sucked, so I wrote a song about it.
Shut Up by
Mark
Throughout life, people will try to control you, tell you
how you should live, what you should think, how you should act.
This is my message to those people. Like Bad Religion says: "Everybody
knows what's best for you."
Stay Together For The Kids by
Mark
Divorce sucks. Its so fucked. But hey, I'm not the only
one to go through it. I guess parents are people too. Just lock
yourself in a room, mine was my personal sanctuary.
