Shurt182 Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Matt sure puts emphasis on the "H" on the second verse. Its weird not hearing "The pictures in her yead" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freestyleskater182 Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 My biggest fears for blink came true in this song. Its a decent song overall but the Chorus sounds VERY generic. Exactly the type of pop punk sound I NEVER wanted to hear from blink. Even their singles like First Date and All The Small things, had this unique sound to them despite being more poppy. The Chorus of this song sounds a lot like all of the generic pop punk bands I hate. I am not just saying this, I would admit if I liked it. Like I said, its decent...it has a bit of an alternative flare that I like but overall...I gotta say, Toms Chasing Shadows EP kicks this songs ass. I do hope the song only sounds this generic because its a single. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManchesterAdam Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Yeah it's not the words themselves but the full metaphors. They probably do make sense to Blink, cause they wrote them but my point was that it's hard to just listen and understand what they're singing about (which was a shame as Blink pre-break up stuff was so relatable and clear) without having to read lyrics and really think about the meanings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt takes lead on First Chorus, Mark takes lead on Second chorus Mark: There’s an echo pulling out the meaning Rescuing a nightmare from a dream The voices in my head are always screaming That none of this means anything to me Mark: And it’s a long way back from seventeen The whispers turn into a scream and I... I’m not coming home Matt: Save your breath I’m nearly bored to death And fading fast Mark: (Life is too short to last long) Matt: Back on Earth I’m broken Lost and cold and fading fast Mark: (Life is too short to last long) Matt: 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 Matt: And it’s a long way back from seventeen The whispers turn into a scream and I... I’m not coming home Mark: Save your breath I’m nearly bored to death and fading fast Mark: (Life is too short to last long) Mark: Back on Earth I’m broken lost and cold and fading fast Mark: (Life is too short to last long) Mark: I think I met her at the minute that the rhythm was set down I said I’m sorry I’m a bit of a letdown But all my friends are daring me to come over So I come over and over and over Mark So let me buy you a drink and we’ll pretend that you think That I’m the man of your dreams come to life in a dive bar And we’ll go over and over and over Mark: 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) Damn really? It sounds like Mark and usually it is pretty easy for me to distinguish between voices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meltdown Tracker Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 It's kind of funny when we ripped on that radio DJ for not knowing if it was Mark or Matt, I bet most people here would've had the same issue 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do blame Tom for what happened to blink for the most part and I was really hoping I would love this song..but once again I think its just okay.

Jamie Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 And no, Tom's Chasing Shadows album was an absolute piece of shit. Tom makes different type of music for the sake of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
