Blink 182 Violence

[@HALFTHEMIKE]

This is my favorite SOUND from blink 182. I enjoyed their early albums with the joke titles, but for me, THIS is where they developed their sound into something that was incredibly unique while still keeping a punk rock vibe. So original and awesome.

[@soulrecalibration]

[@SOMANYTRASHH]

***** AMEN BUDDY

[@dadadruma]

+HALFTHEMIKE This was Blink Peaking and how disappointing it was they never reached this level of greatness again. Till Now ( I Hope)

[@AirCanada1J5]

+dadadruma yeah they needed to make another album sooner after self titled. this stuff was a phenomenon at the time.. as was enema when it came out with the lighter fun side.. but we got a continuation with TOYPAJ.. we never got a continuation of self titled sound.. which is a shame. California seems like another fun TOYPAJ but more modern version, which is cool, has me excited, but I'll never accept we didn't get any more self titled peak sound...

[@dadadruma]

AirCanada1J5 I TOTALLY agree with you 10000% Perfect analogy on how exactly I look at it as well =) The self titled album will stand the test of times with ease its production was above every thing else over the last 15 years hands down

[@jennaly5385]

Tom's quote:"There's a time in your life where you're not quite sure where you are. You think everything's perfect, but it's NOT perfect... Then one day you wake up and you can't quite picture yourself in the situation you're in. But the secret is, if you can picture yourself doing anything in life, you can do it" tnx for helping me a lot

[@rbrush736]

This might be my favorite song of all time. The lyrics are so full of imagery, and the diction/syntax is incredible. You get what they're talking about even if you don't know what they're talking about. And the sounds are so unique-the echoes, the isolated drum and guitar intros, and Tom's voice before it died is so, so great. Plus Mark's spooky-sounding layered vocal on top of Tom's creates such an interesting sound. I love this song. Prime blink.

[@leorange]

THIS IS A PERFECT SONG

[@thekadju2450]

= reason why i like Boxcar racer so much!

[@Ukraineaissance2014]

Hes said what the lyrics are about before about- sexual violence against women.

[@johnzackarias11]

@@Ukraineaissance2014 Nope. It's about a scenario of a woman in a club captivating everyone around her, to the point where the narrator falls unhappily in love with her and descends into alcoholism to numb the pain of not being able to be with her.

[@dissolve3925]

I miss you, violence and down, are my favorite music videos and songs that they made, I also love All Of This, Featuring Robert Smith.

I always turn to them when I wanna remember my teenager vibes. This album is the best! Can't stop listening after all these years! Love you guys!!

we must never lose this video. unofficial history of the band

[@AirCanada1J5]

this is one of my favorite songs ever.. it's such a hidden gem

[@craigstrong6993]

blinks best album in my opinion. definitely they were inspired by beach boys harmony with there own punk vibe. one of my favorite albums

[@alvifani]

Craig Strong interesting! how can u tell this? Any similar beach boys Song?

[@johnzackarias11]

@@alvifani The Beach Boys were just very, very, very much into vocal harmonies, and in the second+last chorus of this song there's vocal harmony. An even better example is the outro of Feeling this.

[@NateM154]

Blink was making such great music before they broke up. Really changed their sound for this cd and it was still awesome. I hope they can get back to this!

[@newmystery7753]

What did you think about one more time?

[@NateM154]

@@newmystery7753 It's a good album, but I don't find myself going to listen to it a lot.

This is the best Blink 182 ever, love this and remind me nice times

[@Fubar182]

This video is pure bliss.

[@clydingo-gaybar9086]

I was like 13, and I had this whole untitled album playing on DVD when I got my first ever hand job B)

[@lucapinti4971]

It’s actually called the selftitled album, untitled is a song from the dude ranch album

[@shanedeez182]

this is what cemented blink's greatness in my books. this whole album, especially this track, proved to all the haters that blink-182 was so much more than a "one-trick pony" or a "gimmick". they fused so many genres and backgrounds together effortlessly and made it sound so distinctly blink. no one writes music like blink-182, and in my opinion, if you were born in 1990 or later, they're one of our generations greatest bands.

[@mauriciovinicius1164]

[@m.j.mbrooks1859]

I swear to GOD, for the past 16 years, I thought the lyrics were “Like Fire Ants you kill me, forever and after,” I feel low key betrayed.

I fucking love blink. 8 years on and I can still listen to this album and enjoy as much as when I first heard it. Thank God these guys got back together.

[@geoffnewman7668]

lol this aged well.

[@leeeon420]

one of the best songs ever! I heard it for the first time when I was 13 now i'm 26. so many memories..

[@rebellinrebreb3254]

Love blink 182. It's the best band !

[@TJufos12]

I've been listening to this song for almost ten years and just realized how awesome it really is.

[@YourBeastRoy]

this song is a reason blink is one of the best rock bands ever, what other fucking song sounds like this shit

[@yeyonge]

well california is shit.

[@mestupkid211986]

Or maybe you're shit

[@NyanKaka]

Matt Skiba is shit

[@vasilismpisketzis1301]

california is nice. and top seller too

[@boyd3b]

Billy Bisk, you may dislike Matt Skiba being part of Blink 182, but that doesn't mean Matt sucks. Alkaline Trio is a testament to just how good Matt Skiba is. If anything, I am more concerned about the affect Blink 182 will have on Matt Skiba and Alkaline Trio. I am a huge fan of both bands, but Alkaline Trio is more creative and poetic with their lyrics. Blink is more simplistic and catchy/popish.

[@aGraphicWay]

slow part is absolutely awesome the best melodic part ever written !!!! blink 4 ever!!

[@JimboTSoV]

The older I get, the more I enjoy this entire album. When before I simply listened to music and lyrics seperated, now I can respect how the music symbolizes the ambiente of the lyrics! A new album from blink would be really interesting, considering that they could either mix up AVA und Plus 44 styles, or start something completely different! I hope it happens some time this year!

[@fidgetyrock4420]

Probably the best bittersweet song ever. Followed by watch the world and miss you.

[@davidnissim589]

Get well soon, Mark, you got this

[@laubmal]

i miss you guys so much! my childhood, when things were simpler yet complicated

[@torreyj.b.1924]

sheesh i sound really old for saying this, but this song takes me back to my middle school days because it was all i listened to, and the rest of the album. no matter how many times i listen to it the 2:05 section of the song always gets to me :')

[@fidgetyrock4420]

Torrey Brown yeah i remember this song coupled with high school and my high school unhappy crush. And the movie thirteen

[@Not_Sure_81]

Middle school days? The fuck? I was 22 when this came out. Don't give us that old shit

[@steveym90]

best bridge they've written, too good.

[@eoswiha123456789]

damn....that verse..... i love it so much

[@louc3268]

I am so happy this album came out when I was 17. It's all I listened to for a long time, and got me into The Cure even more than I was. This is peak Blink IMO.

[@fitpro85]

A certain look in your eyes When you open your eyes who'll stand by your side So watch my eyes, watch them turn while you go change Curtains down when all there skin was cut and i bled There were forces of John Joes I can't make you happy It seems, all i ever do is try You could never cut me deep enough to leave a scar So take this gift its something to save

[@puddinrichardtotten2]

haha i like how mark sits there and bobs his head through pretty much the whole thing lol. mark is the best!!!

[@jondeberg2060]

Are we all ready to acknowledge that Tom was/is Blink...

[@JohnnyBoy14532]

JonDeBerg yes, he will be back though

[@Not_Sure_81]

Ya. We know this

[@LifeisforDrums]

Dude, wtf. I never knew they made a video clip for Violence. far outt. :P - this is wicked!!

[@tyblasta5658]

Mark in this video is incredibly creepy

[@DrummingMoose]

yet awesome.

[@tyblasta5658]

true

[@gyorgyhajdi5844]

So underrated. Been a fan but never saw this clip. Chills

[@arcticalternative]

Tbh in my opinion this song is about depression. The lyrics are "Like violence, you have me forever and after...". Depression can do violent things and it can stay with you forever. And they also say "Like violence, you kill me forever and after.." I think they were saying how many people kill themselves over depression everyday and it will always be like that. And 2.05 to 2.50, Tom was showing how sad it is to have depression. That,s why there's the soft drumming in the back and Tom's face looking sad.

[@arcticalternative]

I'm sorry that's*

[@Ashley-ml4qe]

Aaron Henderson You know the original idea the song was based around right? :)

[@DrummingMoose]

What's the original idea behind this song?

[@arcticalternative]

Idk enlighten me if you know

[@Ashley-ml4qe]

In the booklet that comes with an album tom talks about how the song is based upon a woman that comes into a bar and everybody looks at her, he was saying it was based on that atmosphere.

[@thevillainarcx]

best song ever,,,,,and this video goes along with the song so well....its so cool man.

[@MrAnonymus23]

I swear this is what happens when you leave them alone with a good film location, spare time and two other songs XD

Anyone else notice this is the same set for the Stockholm Syndrome video?

[@Airfingerboards]

And Down

[@cocobro9762]

theyre not like actual music videos, for this album they just wanted to put some visuals to a few of the songs and just put them into a compilation which you dont actually see here on youtube

[@higgij371]

Actually it is a real video, it came as a bonus video with the special edition cd copies as limited release back in 2003. It's the same set, I guess just because they got lazy with videos on their eponymous (self-titled) album and just really liked that spot.

[@DrummingMoose]

jiggins007 I am aware it is a real video. I just noticed the background was the same for the Stockholm Syndrome. Thanks for the extra fact by the way

[@lisajresto]

OldSchoolAddict because it is the same set just in the dark :P

i used to skip this song when i listened to the album years ago(didn't like the beginning), and then i think yesterday i heard the chorus part.. and now i'm here

Isn't it Mark saying like a little silent poem?

[@fidgetyrock4420]

Yes its mark talking.

It’s called “Walla”, it’s usually the lyrics that are spoken. But it sounds like he was saying a poem or vows. I can’t find what mark is saying in any lyric sheets.
