Blink 182 - Adam's Song [audio]

[czerkiesman]

umm no the i will tell you about what it is really about. Ok back when they were writing songs for enema of the state a fan of blink 182 sent them a note saying he was going to commint a suicidal act. In the note it says parts of the song such as "please tell mom this is not her fault" and "16 had just had much better days" his name was adam. after the death of adam. blink wrote a song about him in the loving memorey of adam

[StefanoSession]

Mark said. " we just wanted to make a slow song but it turned into something a lot more said and deeper." so you just made that up

[MsJennyAnthem]

this was written to a band blink was on tour with...no indirectly to blink...Mark got hold of the note and wrote the song

[ryanrk0]

@czerkiesman no your an idiot because if you would look at Wikipedia Adam Krieger was a fictional character for this song. somebody did send Mark a letter about suicide abut they released no further info like their name and so on.

[TNTIV]

@ryanrk0 just go to wikipedia. it has what ur looking for.

[MrCaliforniaScum]

@czerkiesman Not true Moron. It was a Fictional Character., and a fake Suicide note

[czerkiesman]

@MrCaliforniaScum this was a year ago get over it kid. im right. leave it at that. and if your really gona be a straight kid and comment this back i call mark hoppus myself and ask..... if you haven't realized yet thats a joke. grow up get a life cuz only little boys comment back after a year cause i continued my life and completely forgot about it. but if you want to give a a ligit reason why you continued this please give me a full paragraph if you think you can handle that. oky doky?

[dearnama]

Ok. Mark says he wrote this song about being on tour and wanting to be at home. But Tom says Mark wrote it about suicide.

I think Mark's description fits some of the chorus:

"...The tour was over, we'd survived. I couldn't wait till I got home, to pass the time in my room alone..."

I think Tom's description fits verses:

"...I traced the cord back to the wall...I'm too depressed to go on...Please tell Mom this is not her fault.." I think they're both right. What do you guys think? Just my opinion

I took my time, I hurried up, choice was mine.

Nirvana referance?

[turbo91916]

yep!

[antichrist1234]

it's about a kid who comitted suicide as i read

[LukeLikesMusic]

Yea i know, i was just saying that line was a referance (:

[bballman17millio]

no dumbshit he wasnt a real kid it was just in genreal about teen suicide

[antichrist1234]

you should kill yourself too :D

[GinaNJaz]

Lmao

[bigfish828]

What actually happened was a guy tried to kill him self by wetting his hand and putting it in a toaster but it didn't work so he went in the bath and tried to put a toaster in the bath but it got un plugged thats why the song said 'i traced the chored back to the wall it was never plugged in at all', but in the end he hung himself

[theyobonator]

thats not what happened. he meant figuratively by the chord. the chord symbolized the meaning to his life and he thot it over and "chased the chord back to the wall" only to find it wasnt plugged in which means his life had no spark or meaning

[TheHybridConcept]

he sayd in an interview it was in a puddle

[speakers4783]

thats probly it cuz most of the lines were in a suicide not

[rexxy17]

well i think that it was when tom was playing and his amp was in a puddle but it was never plugged in so he lived=]

[dearnama]

RIGHT HERE IS THE ACTUAL THING OF WHAT HAPPENED. Tom's amp cord was in a puddle, but it wasn't plugged in. If it had been, Tom would have been electrocuted. It is therefore a reference to that incident. The FICTIONAL person they talk about in this song obviously is trying to kill himself by electrocuting himself.

[rexxy17]

ahha who would be playing in a puddle?

[dearnama]

He was probably playing beside the puddle. Do you expect more from Tom? =)

[rexxy17]

he should be smarter than that

[JavangeJongens]

is this song only on greatest hits?

[sum182blink41]

no, on Enema of the State too

[joeskelly123]

[SuperRober94]

the history of this song is so Xtrange, read it on google or wikipedia i dont now but search it if you are a really Fan of This awesome band Blink 182 =D

[schmdtyman]

not trying to be creepy but one guy was obsessed with this song. he got stressed so he hung himslef with this song on repeat. it makes me think about this song ALOT more.

[georgew123]

he wasn't obsessed with the song. it was greg barnes. He went to columbine high and witnessed some of the shootings. On May 4th he hung him song and the song was playin on a stereo on repeat but there was no note left behind. he wasn't obsessed

[schmdtyman]

oh ok. i thought he was. i knew he had it on repeat and all
