Song lyrics

Send "No It Isn't" ringtones to your cell

Please understand 
This isn't just goodbye 
This is I can't stand you 
This is where the road crashed into the ocean 
It rises all around me 
And now we're barely breathing 
A thousand faces we'll choose to ignore 

Curse my enemies forever 
Let's slit our wrists and burn down something beautiful 
This desperation leaves me overjoyed 
With fading lights that lead us past the lives that we destroy 

I listen to you cry 
A cry for less attention 
But both my hands are tied 
And I'm pushed into the deep end 
I listen to you talk but talk is cheap 
And my mouth is filled with blood 
From trying not to speak 
So search for an excuse 
And someone to believe you 
In foreign dressing rooms 
I'm empty with the need to 

Curse my enemies forever 
Let's slit our wrists and burn down something beautiful 
This desperation leaves me overjoyed 
With fading lights that lead us past the lives that we destroy 

Curse my enemies forever 
Let's slit our wrists and burn down something beautiful 
This desperation is leaving me overjoyed 
With fading lights that lead us past the lives that we destroy 

Please understand 

Lay rotting where I fall 
I'm dead from bad intentions 
Suffocated and embalmed 
And now all our dreams are cashed in 
You swore you wouldn't lose then lost your brain 
You make a sound that feels like pain 

So please understand 
This isn't just goodbye 
This is I can't stand you

2 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal hey, to any of those who think that this song was directed to thomas delonge is wronge. this is just another song that one of the band members has written about something that made them feel that way. I personally think that this song is beautiful. I listen to it all the time and when I first heard it i was overjoyed to hear new music by mark hoppus and travis barker. . carol heller doesnt seem that bad but i've never heard any of her earilier music. MAGNIF SONGG!!

3 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Hey, it is so at Tom gosh lol... Tom is in a band called Angels and Airwaves... go read the lyrics slash listen to the song "The Adventure" and you will understand... I quote some parts of the lyrics "My dearest friends Even if your hope has burned with time Anything that is dead shall be re-grown And your vicious pain, your warning sign You will be fine " and "I can not live, I can’t breath, Unless you do this with me" No i will quote No it isnt by the other two members of blink 182 in their new band Pluss 44... "Please understand,This isn't just goodbye,This is I can't stand you" "This is where the road, Crashed into the ocean, It rises all around me, And now we're barely breathing, A thousand faces we'll choose to ignore" "Curse my enemies forever, Let's slit our wrists and burn down something beautiful, This desperation, leaves me overjoyed, With fading lights that lead us past the lives that we destroy" "I listen to you cry, A cry for less attention, But both my hands are tied, And I'm pushed into the deep end" "I listen to you talk, But talk is cheap, And my mouth is filled with blood, From trying not to speak" "So search for an excuse,And someone to believe you,In foreign dressing rooms,I'm empty with the need to" I'll leave it at that... personally i believe it is... if anyone knows out there what happened between the blink 182 guys and caused them to break up let us know aye...

3 posts	ok it is for tom.. its shows Ill tell you why: "A thousand faces we'll choose to ignore" are the fans telling them to rejoin. "Lets slit our wrists and burn down something beautiful" the something beautiful is blink-182. "In foreign dressing rooms" this are the rooms in which happened everything in europe before the charity concert. "With fading lights that lead us past the lives that we destroy" the lives they destroy are fans that kill themselves for blink

3 posts	responding to what xx_standTALL_xx said I know why they split up. Tom wanted to pass more time with his family cuz he was in so much concerts that he had barely enough time. Mark accepted to the concerts. Other thing is that all the songs for boxcar racer are originally blink's and tom didn't even tell mark that he made boxcar racer. then he saw their music videos and saw that two guys looked a lot like tom and travis so he searched for boxcar racer and he found out that it was them. that was on the charity tour they were doing. In that moment tom told him that they should rest a bit and pass more time with their families. Which turned out to be okay with mark so they decided to rest for half year and then continue. but that six months became a year and so on... till now

WTF, i dont buy that at all, that sounds retarded, Tom didnt tell mark about boxcar racer, and that the songs were originally blinks, and how mark found out, ooo i was watching tv one day, and saw two of my band members in another band singing our tracks, but where am i? I dont buy it

3 posts	well at least tom said that happened when he had an interview with a blink fan page
20-07-2006 21:52 WarpedTourBabe
1 posts	alright on Tom Delonge's myspace, there is an article from Kerrang magazine. it is an exerpt from an interview he did about the break-up of Blink. here it is: When you and Travis formed Box Car Racer without Mark, was that the beginning of the end for blink 182? “Mark took it extremely hard. I had no intention to ever make Box Car a priority over Blink, but it really hurt him. It sucks because Mark’s a sweetheart and I never meant to hurt him. But he never got over it.” Why couldn’t he let it go? “Mark’s one of the most intelligent people I’ve ever met, but sometimes he’s too intelligent for his own good and will over-analyze stuff. But if the only issue was that he couldn’t get over Box Car, then I’d have probably hung out with it a little while longer.” So problems between you weren’t just a result of Box Car? “I also wrote a song for a hip-hop guy because I wanted to do something different and after that, our record label offered me a solo deal.” Did you want to go solo? “I was flattered, but there was no way in hell that I’d ever do that. I thought it would be the most stupid, arrogant, lame thing to do. In any case, these emails were getting floated around between the label and management, and Mark found out.” How did mark take it? “He didn’t talk to anyone for two days and was pretty pissed about it off the heels of Box Car, mark was suspicious. There were things he thought happened that never happened – like secret meetings behind his back – and I couldn’t convince him otherwise. I think people thought I was conspiring to do things and that was so not the case.” That must have made you feel pretty alienated. “It was one of the things that frustrated me the most because I really wanted nothing but the healthiest band and to be doing it with my best friends. I didn’t want to start another band and I didn’t want to go solo.” So among all that, you guys did another blink album. “Yeah, and it was a great healing period for use, but with mark not being able to let Box Car go, things weren’t the same. Travis on the other had, I think his focus was in many different places. He wanted to tour all the time, was playing in multiple bands and then he started his reality TV show that he never told me about.” How did you feel about Travis doing the series “Meet the Barkers”? “It was something that I didn’t agree with, but I supported him, even though I didn’t like having TV cameras around me and I felt that my personal privacy was invaded. And then on our last European tour [towards the end of 2004], everything kind of came to a halt.” How bad did things get on that tour? “I was super-bummed because I needed to go home and see my daughter and my wife. We’d been away from home for nearly two years and I was really unhappy.” Did you resent the fact that blink kept you away from your family? “No, but it got to the point where my family couldn’t be my first priority and I wasn’t willing to uproot them every time I went on tour. It just wasn’t fair – they needed some normality.” Mark and Travis have wives and children too. Why was it such a strain for you? “Of course they love their families, but I think they deal with the way that their family lives fit into the band easier than I do. My family needed me at home and it didn’t seem like me making that my priority mapped up with the way those guys wanted to work.” Couldn’t you just talk to them about it? “I didn’t understand. Travis and I couldn’t talk to mark anymore – we weren’t the friends we were. The other thing was I was getting so much shit from Mark about Box Car, but then when we were on that last tour, Mark and Travis had already put together plus-44. I didn’t even know about it until it got printed in a magazine – in Kerrang!, I think.” Is that when you decided to form Angels and Airwaves? “No, absolutely not, and I want to make this clear. I had an epiphany on that tour which made me feel like I was going to do something big, but I had no idea what it meant. It didn’t even cross my mind to put another band together until after we announced our hiatus, when I was working on some new songs last March.” But Mark and Travis must have known you weren’t happy. “They were going to me, ‘What do you want? What is your problem?’. I didn’t want to tell them what I wanted – a break – because I knew they wouldn’t like it. Mark was happiest when he was on tour because he was with his friends and doing what he loved and Travis just wanted to play the drums. But I was going to self-destruct if I didn’t make some changes.” What changes did you all agree to make? “We decided to take a six-month break.” How did that six-month break suddenly become an ‘indefinite hiatus’? “My number one reason for needing a break was because my family needed me but as soon as we came home, we had to record a song for Travis’ TV show and Mark had booked us multiple tsunami benefit shows. I think because they felt I was trying to control the band by making us go on a break, they were looking for stuff for us to do.” What was the last straw for you? “Before that show [the Music for Relief tsunami benefit] we had this big argument after a rehearsal. It was completely clear to me that the way the band was going to operate was very different to how I needed it to be, because of the type of family man I wanted to be, Anyway, as I was driving away, they both called up our manager and tried to cancel the show because they were really mad at me. They were so angry that they were saying… I don’t even know what they were saying.” Were they insinuating that something bad might happen? “There wasn’t an actual threat but there was a really weird, unsaid.. I don’t know what it was but it was so strange. That’s when I said to my manager, ‘okay, it’s time for a break’.” So you were left with no choice but to take a “hiatus”? “Please understand that the break-up, or hiatus, or whatever you want to call it, was never an agenda of mine. I never wanted it to happen. It was a very depressing thing for me.” Have you spoken to Mark and Travis since? “No. We did a huge amount of talking and that’s why I haven’t spoken to them since because I said everything I needed to say to them.” Do you think they understood why you needed to make some changes to the way blink worked? “I don’t think that either of those guys would ever believe that I did this because I thought it was best for my family. I think, until the day we die they will go to their graves thinking I did that because I had a master plan to make another band of do it by myself without them.” That’s a sad thing to think about your friends. “I’m tired of thinking about why they think so. I’m tired of wondering how I could have said things better. I said to them. “I want to be the biggest band in the world. I want to love my family and I want to be your best friend, but I have to be the best husband and father first.” But I don’t think they were really hearing me. I just think that we were different people at the end.” How do you feel about Mark and Travis now? “I miss them. I don’t feel “fuck you” towards them at all because I love them. They’re fucking awesome guys.” You and mark still own (clothing labels) Macbeth and Atticus together, don’t you? “Party of the charm about this whole situation is that we still have these companies together, which means that one day we have to come together and rebuild our friendship.” Is that going to happen? “It has to happen.” Are you going to make it happen? “It’s not going to happen on its own. When all this stuff went down, I know I had to take a different route to happiness, so I don’t feel guilty about that, but there’s such a large part of me that can’t wait for the time when I’ll rebuild my friendships with them. Playing with them again is something I think about every day, but I know that it just doesn’t make sense for me right now.” Part of the appeal of blink 182 was that it really seemed like you were best friends. Do you think fans will feel duped when they realize that wasn’t the case? “We were friends. That’s the saddest thing. We were doing what we loved and, I swear, whenever we were onstage it was magical. There’s nothing stained on the Blink name as far as the music and shows go, the only thing that’s stained is the breakdown of our friendships at the end. It makes me so sad to think our fans would feel that way.” I love Mark and Travis to death. They were my best friends in the world, and I miss them tremendously. At the end, our priorities were mad different, and I haven't spoke to them since [the hiatus].So instead of talking, I just made this album and this film. There's a story line that runs throughout it, it's autobiographical, I felt like I lost my two best friends, I lost the band I created, and I did it all for my family. And so I decided to write the album and make the movie about my life. But rather than sit there and whine, I used analogies about love and war, because that's what this whole thing was like. Playing music in the wake of the Blink thing was like finding love in the middle of a war zone. Since [Pink Floyd's] The Wall, this has never been done. A third of the movie is CGI, a third of the movie is a documentary and a third of it is a love story. And it basically tells the story of the breakup of one of the biggest bands in the world and the creation of the world's greatest rock band. It's a documentary about the past year of my life. But the whole thing is done with metaphors and analogies of World War II. Because World War II was good versus evil, the grand sense of purpose, and seeing as though I started this new part of my life specifically for my family, I felt that it would be an appropriate reference point rather than using modern image

24 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Wow, this is classic. Mark and Tom are communicating through song. It's clear this song is about Blink. While I don't have the time or patience to read that whole interview above me right now, I do know that Mark is obviously pissed about something. I feel sorry for Tom because he has clearly apoligized in the songs he made for Angels And Airwaves but Mark is saying "I listen to you talk, but talk is cheap" in this song. Both bands seem to be going in a different direction. Tom talks about a new beginning and is encourging people to give his band a try in his songs. Plus 44 look like it will be a punky immature blink 182 type of band, while Angels and Airwaves is all about maturing and evolving from Blink 182. I'm excited about both bands, You Don't Have to Whisper is a great album. Everybody wants to see Blink 182 remerge, and I think they will, probably in 5 years or so. Both bands will make a few albums and they will eventually make ammends, in my opinion. I think they both want to come back together, hell they are writing a song about eachother! Blink 182 is the most important thing in the lives of Tom, Mark, and Travis.

2 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Holy shit, do you ever notice when your in a bad possition you can find a song for the moment? Well, this one is for my moment. I just broke up with my girlfriend, and this is kinda how I feel. At first it was an easy break up, but the whore lied to me about almost every damn thing she said to me. It isn't just goodbye, because I never wanna see the bitch again. But, leave it up to Mark and Travis to come back with a new band, a new sound, and a new meaning. this song is perfect. matty G

3 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This is the song that Mark wrote just before Blink 182 were splitted. he wrote it in like 20 minutes and it is about Tom. Tom wanted to control everything, and it was decided before pepsi smash 2005 actually that they were going to split up, they decided to split up before the record that they started in 2003 were finished. as said, Mark wrote therefore. Tom wanted to control everything, and Travis and Mark couldn't stand it. Now, Mark an Tom hasn't talked for 2 years. It's sad, really, Mark says he enjoyed every second he was in Blink 182.

3 posts	well at least that is mark's version. I dunno hwo to believe, Mark or Tom. I hope Travis will speak as a neutral source, untill then i will just believe TOm, because Tom still loves Mark and Travis, but Mark hates tom.
