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.

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.

They trade off on verses and pre-choruses ... 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.

Again, as much as I'm loving the song, I do actually agree with this.

This song could have sounded like the shittiest thing you have ever heard and you would still kiss its ass because Tom is not on it because you hate Tom so much.

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.

To be honest, I would rather get that generic music than the crap we've had from Blink from their last LP and EP.

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

I must be alone on this ... I can decipher the 2 so clearly ... mind you I am a huge Alkaline Trio fan ... but it is so blatantly obvious to me
