The producer for California, John Feldman, said:
"We knew we needed a ballad, whatever that means for Blink, for the album. For two weeks we talked about what that could be, what does that look like for Blink, that mellow moment between the chaos of “Cynical” and “Los Angeles” and even “No Future,” those big energetic moments. This song was Mark’s idea, it was Mark’s lyric of “Home is such a lonely place with you.” His son is probably the smartest guy I’ve ever met, Jack [Hoppus.] He’s a Mensa kid. He’s literally studying at Oxford right now. He’s 13. We were talking about what the day is going to look like when we’ve had our families for so long, what’s going to happen when they leave? What are our lives going to look like when we built them around our children? He had this concept of our kids being gone. Everyone cried when we played it for them. Mark and Travis made it sound Blink to me. Skiba put his second verse into that song and made it his own. That song is a very special moment on the record"
Home Is Such A Lonely Place
blink-182 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Forgotten seconds out on Sunset Drive
And I hold on tight
But not enough to hold you back
It feels like the moon
Is spinning off into outer space without you
This room is such a lonely place without you
I wish that we could save today
But I know we can't stay the same
And I keep pushing you away
Don't wait for me
Don't wait for me
Home is such a lonely place without you
Home is such a lonely place
I love the lightning but hate the rain
Tomorrow's frightening but not today
Wish I could slow down time
But not enough to slow you down
I feel like the moon
Is spinning off into outer space without you
The universe an empty place without you
I wish that we could save today
But I know we can't stay the same
And I keep pushing you away
Don't wait for me
Don't wait for me
Home is such a lonely place without you
Home is such a lonely place
We're falling faster than we can fly
Forgotten seconds out on Sunset Drive
I wish that we could save today
But I know we can't stay the same
And I keep pushing you away
Don't wait for me
Don't wait for me
I wish that we could save today
But I know we can't stay the same
And I keep pushing you away
Don't wait for me
Don't wait for me
Home is such a lonely place without you
Home is such a lonely place
Home is such a lonely place
This Is Home by blink-182 is a song about the feeling of loneliness and missing someone special. The singer of the song seems to be addressing a former lover or a close friend who they have pushed away for reasons undefined. The lyrics convey a sense of longing and regret as the singer wishes they could save their relationship but knows that they can't stay the same. The chorus highlights the fact that "home is such a lonely place without you," suggesting that the absence of the person they miss has made their life and surroundings feel empty and incomplete.
The opening lines of the song, "We're falling faster than we can fly, Forgotten seconds out on Sunset Drive," represent the fast-paced nature of life and how easily time can slip away. The next lines display the singer's desire to hold on tight to the person they miss but feeling like they're not doing enough to keep them close. The middle part of the song talks about the chaos of life, how the singer loves the excitement of lightning but hates the sadness of rain, and how they wish they could slow down time. However, the sadness and emptiness remains even if time could be slowed down as the missing person is not there to share it with. The repetition of the chorus drives home the message that home will remain a lonely place without that special person.

Radya that is thing... blink182 won't stop now they have matt. matt prior to blink, toured literally non stop and wrote new songs constantly, and released new albums every 2-3 years. just look at blink since they took matt, they released an album with tons of extra songs, constantly touring, and constantly putting on new videos, etc. they won't give matt a long enough break to make a new alkaline trio album anytime soon..
I wouldn't be surprised if they have him under contract not to even. matt is what brought blink back to life. before him, they were dead.
Tom was the main song writer for blink. Mark and Travis wouldn't be able to write a good album on their own. Matt is their new "Tom".
I'm not saying maybe someday something will happen with alkaline trio, but it won't be anytime soon, and them being how they used to be is gone for good.
blink182 should of hired a guitarist who wasn't already in a successful band..... one who sounded more like Tom, it wouldn't of been that hard... if they did, both blink-182 and alkaline trio could exist and both would be better than what they are now.
