Blink-182 - When I Was Young

[@raya3783]

Lyrics: Verse 1 I woke up today surrounded by blackness The small morning sun devoured the process It's always been fun when I get a bit nervous And it's hard to say, but I feel a bit weightless The more I admit, I feel a bit anxious The more I go on, the less I can face this And those rotten things that live in our shadow We walk on the line of death and the gallows And hope that we clear a path we can follow Chorus: It's the worst damn day (It doesn't hurt that much) Of my life I made a mess today (It doesn't hurt that much) I'm alright (It doesn't hurt that much) Verse 2: When I was young, the world, it was smaller The cities were vast, the buildings were taller I felt really strong, my parents seemed stronger But life has a way, it showers with greatness Then takes it away, those pieces that made us Then teaches you things you'd never imagine We all get the same, the memories, the burdens The pictures we made, they still form a pattern They cautiously say, "Does it all matter?" It's the worst damn day (It doesn't hurt that much) Of my life I made a mess today (It doesn't hurt that much) I'm alright (It doesn't hurt that much) It's the worst damn day (It doesn't hurt that much) Of my life I made a mess today (It doesn't hurt that much) I'm alright

[@Trinstar]

This is one of my favourite Blink songs of all time.

[@DannyKopij]

This EP is criminally underrated for the first 3 songs alone.

[@tannerthepanman9202]

For all of them man

[@CheeseBallWillie]

"I felt really strong. My parents seemed stronger." I can relate man.

[@smorcsavage9234]

what are you supposed to do when you are stronger than your parents x.x

[@wccrispy]

Be strong for them.

[@micheluccilaura3695]

I was playing it at guitar , bring me tears. The lyrics of this song are so strong!

[@Jettijetstriker]

That part is a ducking BAR dawg

[@josephvanhorn5347]

I can't. My parents were weak af.

[@Dylans3Tears]

To me, this song is special for so many reasons but the main one being if you were to sit down and listen to all of blink's discography chronologically, this would be the very last song you would hear and it's the last Tom DeLonge-blink-182 song, which, to ME personally, is the end of blink-182. Bored to Death and California as a whole isnt blink with someone else helping write the songs and not a great contrast in voices with Mark and Matt. Thats just me personally, everyone has their own interpretation and feelings, and thats mine. So to me, "It's the worst damn day of my life, I made a mess today" hits hard and just how it ends immediately "I'm alright..." That hits me so fucking hard man. Thank you for everything blink-182.

[@SonikJesus]

yup. different members = different band. FACT

[@rahmathadiyatulakbar8527]

+jazzblaster so you are saying that blink 182 wasn't blink 182 since travis joined. isn't it? lol, just enjoy everything they gave ffs. they already did everything for the fans

[@SonikJesus]

Rahmat Hadiyatul Akbar travis is just the drummer. he doesn't write songs. he just adds a beat. and there's a click track when he lays it down so the tempo is already set. tom wrote a lot of the songs. and he played and wrote the guitar riffs for all of them. he was a major force in the band. he was the major force. comparing a drummer to a singer/songwriter/guitarist is comparing apples and oranges. and dont even say travis is so good and he adds so much to the songs. he doesn't. he just overplays and he plays to a click track. he plays in a pop radio band not a jazz ensemble. he adds nothing except unnecessary fills to the songs.

[@Mattler]

I dont know why everyone said the samething about Scott and Travis. Travis nor Scott didnt write any of the sings. Travis just comes in and hears the song and drums.

[@gabriele1296]

i remember you that Tom live voice is very bad, i prefer Matt and when i had discovery that Tom wanted to change the blink music style i thought is better without him.

[@georgiabrebner]

I love this song. 'I had the worst damn day of my life, I made a mess today, but I'm alright' I can really relate to.

[@MagikFingers420]

But u survived! Keep on living!

[@themikebliss]

People's logic: "I HEAR A SYNTH ON THIS, IT SOUNDS JUST LIKE ANGELS AND AIRWAVES" Implying blink has never used a synth before, get over yourselves. This is awesome and so is the rest of the EP, amazing job guys!

[@treyphillips9191]

This is my all-time favorite blink song. If I had to pick one blink song to keep in my library, it'd be this one. Nobody would really agree with me, but I'd pick this song over even any of their classics. I'll stand by it, cuz this song is DAMN GOOD.

[@jacobevingham8495]

This is my number 2 personally. It’s really close with Adam’s Song, and although I still have Adam’s Song number 1, this is still very close and in my opinion the second best song Blink has ever made. I know this comment was 5 years ago, but don’t think nobody would agree with you. This song is amazing

[@treyphillips9191]

@@jacobevingham8495 Adam's Song is also one of my favorites :) Glad you also love When I Was Young so I'm not alone lol

[@gabrielassis2329]

Nice choice!! Hahah, but I'd prefer to get Violence, from the self titled album. It fucking chills man.

just someone just listened to No Future, lol

and no future...

[@watermelonheadiego]

i liked all of their new songs except for no future . its ok but still very different. i agree though.. i feel as if tom just puts the final touch into each song . without him the music is tough..

[@danielamaya138]

Lol are you kidding? Its ava. And the chorus is so boring and bland

[@brokenyard]

Are YOU kidding? Have you even heard anything by AVA outside of the 2005 Whisper album? This sounds nothing like the weird shit Tom puts out under the AVA name.

[@lju627]

Grown up listening to blink, through all the albums, the break up- Angels&Airwaves and +44, the reunion. They've matured so much with their music but it's perfect STILL, will never ever get old. Done us all proud!!

[@williamchuang4661]

I woke up today surrounded by blackness The small morning sun devoured the process It's always been fun when I get a bit nervous And it's hard to say, but I feel a bit weightless The more that I admit I feel a bit anxious The more I go on, the less I can face this And those rotten things that live in our shadow We walk on the line of death and the gallows And hope that we clear a path we can follow It's the worst damn day (it doesn't hurt that much) of my life I made a mess today (it doesn't hurt that much) I'm alright (it doesn't hurt that much) When I was young, the world, it was smaller The cities were vast, the buildings were taller I felt really strong, my parents seemed stronger My life has a way, it showers with greatness Then takes it away, those pieces that made us Then teaches you things you'd never imagine We all get the same, the memories, the burdens The pictures we made, they still form a pattern They cautiously say, "Does it all matter?" It's the worst damn day (it doesn't hurt that much) of my life I made a mess today (it doesn't hurt that much) I'm alright (it doesn't hurt that much) It's the worst damn day (it doesn't hurt that much) of my life I made a mess today (it doesn't hurt that much) I'm alright It's the worst damn day (it doesn't hurt that much) of my life I made a mess today (it doesn't hurt that much) I'm alright (it doesn't hurt that much) It's the worst damn day (it doesn't hurt that much) of my life I made a mess today (it doesn't hurt that much) I'm alright

[@edgara182fan]

A friend of mine told me "Close your eyes and guess who's playing" I did so and my answer was "Angels and Airwaves" until I listened the Mark's voice I said "WTF! Is that Blink 182?" This sounds so badass! Just love it!

[@Brownian96]

Love the mature Blink-182. of course they're not gonna be writing songs like they did way back in the late 90's early 00's. They're older, wiser and still kicking ass. BLINK

[@sambitdas9416]

Beautiful song

[@chrisparish885]

The best work they've done after Neighborhoods. Fucking shame they've ended up where they are now.

[@thebadassbicycle]

You guys are a big inspiration. I grew up with your music thanks to my older brothers. Still listening. You guys have changed a lot over the years, and i really like the newer Blink!! Hope i can see you guys in concert some day

[@PJ-mb3ue]

What an underrated album

[@BringLudoBack]

While their older stuff spoke to a rebellious adolescence I never had, this actually applies to the way my life feels right now. I don't know that anything will ever compare to the things I loved about them in "Enema of the State" and "Take Off Your Pants and Jacket", but now I feel like I can really relate to the words. I'll keep everything from "Flyswatter" to "Neighborhoods" in my favorites, but I'll embrace the new.

[@TheeDevilWearsPrada]

DARRNN ITTT!!!! all the blink 182 bundle packages are SOLD OUT!! AHHH i wanted mine sooo bad :( Oh well.. hopefully you guys will do another bundle that's even better than this one for your upcoming album! Would've loved the Dogs eating Dogs bundle for Christmas though :/

[@T0aNuva]

Dear Tom, Mark and Travis. Please come to Singapore. Sincerely, a really really big fan who needs to see you guys live.

[@FooFighter201]

Its like this whole EP is what we wanted Neighborhoods to sound like. Don't get me wrong, i actually still liked Neighborhoods and i can see why a lot of people didn't, hell even Mark said that it was gonna cause some ripples amongst fans, but i don't care, I'm still here supporting the shit out of these guys and look forward to hearing more from them :)

[@BastognesBulge]

For me, personally, if you stop Neighborhoods after Wishing Well and add the first 3 songs from this EP... that'd be one beast of an album.

I've always wondered that? Why cant he sing it life? Is it cause he's phically not able to or is he just not aloud to? I just dont get it x)

[@johnnyboy1017]

+Alan Trainor Yup, like many other artists. I don't really have a problem with it, if there's a program that's going to make their vocals sound better on the albums then why the fuck not? I'm all for it. Btw, it's not just auto tune, there's various other effects such as pitch corrector. And you can't make the argument of saying well anyone can sound good with those programs and effects, because that's complete whore shit. Many aspiring singers use the exact same programs and effects and they sound like shit.
