歌词
[Verse 1]
I never thought I'd die alone
I laughed the loudest, who'd have known?
I trace the cord back to the wall
No wonder, it was never plugged in at all
I took my time, I hurried up
The choice was mine, I didn't think enough
I'm too depressed to go on
You'll be sorry when I'm gone
[Chorus]
I never conquered, rarely came
Sixteen just held such better days
Days when I still felt alive
We couldn't wait to get outside
The world was wide, too late to try
The tour was over, we'd survived
I couldn't wait 'til I got home
To pass the time in my room alone
[Verse 2]
I never thought I'd die alone
Another six months, I'll be unknown
Give all my things to all my friends
You'll never step foot in my room again
You'll close it off, board it up
Remember the time that I spilled the cup
Of apple juice in the hall
Please tell mom this is not her fault
[Chorus]
I never conquered, rarely came
Sixteen just held such better days
Days when I still felt alive
We couldn't wait to get outside
The world was wide, too late to try
The tour was over, we'd survived
I couldn't wait 'til I got home
To pass the time in my room alone
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
I never conquered, rarely came
Tomorrow holds such better days
Days when I can still feel alive
When I can't wait to get outside
The world is wide, the time goes by
The tour is over, I've survived
I can't wait 'til I get home
To pass the time in my room alone

多添一点:
今天分享一首blink-182 的《Adam’s Song》。
这首歌来自美国流行朋克乐队blink-182,收录在他们的第三张专辑《Enema of the State》中,正是这张专辑为乐队带来了成功。《Adam’s Song》是blink-182在美国现代摇滚歌曲排行榜上排名第二的五首歌曲之一,2000年9月5日,这首歌作为专辑《What's My Age Again?》和《All the Small Things》之后的第三首CD单曲发行。
这是一首悲伤的慢歌,歌词涉及抑郁和自杀,人声部分由Mark Hoppus演唱。“Adam”其实是用来比喻主唱Mark 在与Blink-182巡演时经历的抑郁。Mark在采访时说:“Tom 和 Travis 总是有女朋友等在家里,所以他们在巡演结束时有一些期待。但我没有,所以我在巡演时总是很孤独。”哎,多么孤独的主唱。
不过,背后还有故事。乐队在巡演节目中说,Mark读了一封别人发给他的电子邮件,那是一个孩子在自杀前写给他父母的。于是,乐队成员们聚在一起写了这首悲伤的慢歌。结果比他们预想的还要悲伤。“一个孩子不快乐,与我们巡演时非常孤独的故事交织在一起。在这一切结束的时候,有更好的出路,有比自杀更好的事情去做”。
正如主唱Mark说,“当我回家之后,孤独什么的都不重要了。”
这是一首“严肃”的歌曲,这一点和他们之前的歌曲很不同。另外这首歌的编排也与他们之前的作品有所不同,尤其是乐器部分的转换。在主歌部分,吉他演奏分解和弦,伴随着简单的低音线条;在副歌部分吉他演奏八度音程,而贝斯则转向演奏分解和弦。
这首歌引用了涅槃乐队的歌曲《Come as You Are》,歌词中写道:
我抓紧时间,我快速飞奔
是我的选择,我想得不够。
而涅槃乐队的歌词是:
抓紧你的时间,快速飞奔,
这是你的选择,朝夕必争。
