Blink-182/Musicfire.in Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rescuing a nightmare from a dream
The voices in my head are always screaming
That none of this means anything to me
And it's a long way back from seventeen
The whispers turn into a scream
And I'm, I'm not coming home
Save your breath, I'm nearly
Bored to death and fading fast
Life is too short to last long
Back on earth, I'm broken
Lost and cold and fading fast
Life is too short to last long
There's a stranger staring at the ceiling
Rescuing a tiger from a tree
The pictures in her head are always dreaming
Each of them means everything to me
And it's a long way back from seventeen
The whispers turn into a scream
And I'm, I'm not coming home
Save your breath, I'm nearly
Bored to death and fading fast
Life is too short to last long
Back on earth, I'm broken
Lost and cold and fading fast
Life is too short to last long
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
(Oh oh oh oh) I think I met her at the minute that the rhythm was set down
(Oh oh oh oh) I said I'm sorry I'm a little bit of a letdown
(Oh oh oh oh) but all my friends are daring me to come over
(Oh oh oh oh) so I come over and over and over
(Oh oh oh oh) so let me buy you a drink and we'll pretend that you think
(Oh oh oh oh) that I'm the man of your dreams come to life in a dive bar
(Oh oh oh oh) and we'll go over and over and over
(Oh oh oh oh) and we'll go over and over and over
(Oh oh oh oh) and we'll go over and over and over
(Oh oh oh oh) and we'll go over and over and over
Save your breath, I'm nearly
Bored to death and fading fast
Life is too short to last long
Back on earth, I'm broken
Lost and cold and fading fast
Life is too short to last long
(Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh)
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh life is too short to last long)
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
The lyrics to Blink-182's "Bored to Death" speak to a feeling of disillusionment and detachment. The first verse talks about trying to make sense of life and the world, but finding everything meaningless. The lead singer is haunted by the voices in his head, which only add to his frustration and despair. He is tired of trying to find answers and is now "bored to death," or apathetic to the point of feeling dead. The second verse focuses on a woman who is lost in her own dreams and fantasies. The singer sees her as a kindred spirit, someone who understands him and the absurdity of life. However, he is still unable to find a way back to the real world, where he feels broken and alone.
The chorus speaks to the fleeting nature of life and the inevitability of death. The singer is fading fast, and he knows that his time on earth is limited. He feels lost and disconnected from everything, and he recognizes that nothing will last forever. The repeated refrain of "life is too short to last long" reinforces this sentiment and serves as a reminder to the listener that they should make the most of their time on earth.
Overall, "Bored to Death" is a song about existential angst and the frustrations of modern life. It speaks to a universal feeling of disillusionment and a sense of disconnection from the world. The lyrics are relatable and poignant, and they are complemented by the band's energetic and catchy sound.
Line by Line Meaning
There's an echo pulling out the meaning
There is the sound of resonance extracting the significance
Rescuing a nightmare from a dream
Redeeming a bad dream from a good one
The voices in my head are always screaming
The thoughts in my mind are loud and persistent
That none of this means anything to me
I feel disconnected with everything
And it's a long way back from seventeen
It seems like a distant memory since being younger
The whispers turn into a scream
The hushed tones get louder and louder
And I'm, I'm not coming home
I have no intention of returning
Save your breath, I'm nearly
Don't bother trying to convince me
Bored to death and fading fast
Tired of living and losing interest
Life is too short to last long
Time flies by quickly
Back on earth, I'm broken
Now that I'm grounded, I am shattered
Lost and cold and fading fast
Feeling lost, uncared for, and weakening
There's a stranger staring at the ceiling
An unknown person gazes at the roof
Rescuing a tiger from a tree
Saves a powerful animal from danger
The pictures in her head are always dreaming
Her imaginations are always hopeful
Each of them means everything to me
Each visualization resonates with me
