Almost a decade and a half later I realize that "a field with words written in stone" is a graveyard

[@nwonomad]

Love that

[@JabezGill]

@@DV-zv4ox nope - this song has nothing to do with Blink - in an interview a long time ago Tom Said it was about WWII and a memorial that he saw in Europe and about how some of these young soldiers died and their families back at home and how some family lines died off and that only the memorials would be left to show that they were a person who lived once and was loved. I wish I could find the interview so I could link it.

[@Steezy_Mx]

Hes referencing the nuclear fallout from war that is going to take place in the near future. Hes a military child similar to Jim Morrison. Privy to knowledge.

[@rainbowizsick1218]

All Ava songs hit me in my soul. The instruments are beyond chilling. And the words written are so damned beautiful. Thanks for doing what you guys do. I look forward to the new album coming.

I'll be your distraction I'll be your distraction There's a field nearby With words written in stone My love will not die Please let be known This place is dead It echoes through town There isn't one voice I haven't heard a sound The planes flew in Their bombs did too The city fell flat The fires they grew When the smoke comes in It'll color this town But I'll still have you So I'll say it aloud I'll be your distraction I'll be your distraction The friendship we made Is a waste of our time There's no one left here To show future that's kind It's a world of hate Gone incredibly wrong We cared to late We just followed along And the boys went down With their gun in their hand Their weapon of choice Their knees in the sand If that field nearby Was still there to be used Would you ever have known? Those words were for you I'll be your distraction I'll be your distraction I'll be your distraction I'll be your distraction I'll be your distraction I'll be your distraction I'll be, I'll be yours I'll be, I'll be yours I'll be, I'll be yours I'll be, I'll be yours The War The ocean, is on fire The sky turned dark again As the boats came in And the beaches Stretched out with soldiers With their arms and guns It has just begun Believe, you want this Believe, I want this too Why won't you tell me that It's almost over Why must this? Tear my head Inside out And the houses Laid out like targets With the defining sound We watched them all go down And the families Now useless bodies They lay still black and blue A gift from us to you Believe, you want this Believe, I want this too Why won't you tell me that It's almost over Why must this? Tear my head Inside out Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh (Believe) Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh (Believe, you want this too) Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh Why won't you tell me that It's almost over Why must this?

Thankyou from all the lyrical junkies and songwriter's

[@charlesorton3896]

How is this song not more popular

[@franschan]

Welcome to the world.... LOL jk

[@Dylanisa_BasketCase]

Maybe because people prefer Blink-182 over Angels & Airwaves

[@MadAtThat]

This is the last song “the Tom voice” lives in, his voice changed even through the course of this album compared to his later stuff, but coming out of self titled to this is when it changed..,

[@alexzemaitis1207]

It’s similar to if you went through puberty while recording a record

[@Yagurlnessa182]

Love to hear them when I paint it gives me a incredible imagination 🖤

[@ryanwallace3349]

[@da4228]

My city has just went through a horrifying tragedy this week and this song brings actual tears and shivers down my spine. I've recently separated with my best friend and as if this world isn't small enough without her, all of this chaos surrounds me. With everything going on in this world from war to violence to greed to poverty to hatred, would you ever have known these words were for you? I'll be your distraction.

2034! And STILL enjoying this album on my Naut-stalgia2000 emulation app! I loved hearing one of the tracks being played over the top of the slow-motion Aussie rules footy ad break highlights which I found on my great grandfathers relic of a computer. I reckon he was running this hdd around the time Mr. Morrison was trying to get a grip on Australia! Thanks for this.

[@rockandrollforever8270]

Tom delonge is a great musician and songwriter. . . Great fan of urs. .

[@faceitSaga]

2020 and still listening this song. I miss my childhood

[@leebeldadjr]

Tom DeLonge formed Angels & Airwaves after leaving blink-182. In Kerrang! magazine, he explained: "This song isn't about blink. It's about being somewhere that's totally destroyed and you look to the one you love and say 'I'll be your distraction.' It's about the way the world is now and how it seems that we can so easily fall into war. As an American, it feels like it's spinning out of control." >>

[@sherryrodriguez1766]

I listen to all your songs daily Tom! You've touched my heart and soul! Keep up the wonderful work! Love you with all my being!💗

If this song had a faster tempo, the sounds were replaced by guitars and bass, and travis was in the drums instead, we would have a great song in a blink-182 album post the self titled era. Such a shame it's not that way.
