In case no one noticed this is a song of hope. The first two choruses are sung in past tense but the last chorus is sung in present tense Wich means he didn't end his life. Time is like a river and takes you to,through and past difficult times
I always found this song inspirational. No matter how bad you feel at the moment it will pass. I'm not sure why so many people miss the point of this song.
“I couldn’t wait til I got home to pass the time in my room alone” I really felt that one. depression is a real bitch, and I’m sorry for all of you that suffer from it, it’s the absolute worst. Love you all
@@xelations6002 it truly is look deep within yourself forgive yourself and forgive others. Remember your words have meaning. Cry when you need to be happy when you need to. Balance things out. We have been told lies all our life look for the truth and when you start at that you will feel so much better. Live in the moment.
Nirvana (come as you are):"take your time, hurry up, the choice is yours." Blink182:"I took my time, I hurried up, the choice was mine, I didn't think enough"
I’m really sorry y’all are dealing with what you are. I know life can be tough sometimes. But it gets better, I promise. You’re all in my prayers. Hang tough!
For real though. Growing up, she was my hero. She'll never know the times I held on with her face in my mind. She'll never know what she got me through...
That one verse has made me cry more times than I care to admit, but my mum is my world and I'll love her for the rest of my life, she made me the man I am
It’s about guilt the apple juice part when I was really depressed every thing I did just felt like I did it wrong and just screwed everything up even the little things that don’t matter to people it messed with my head for so long the little things
My friend would play this song on his guitar, only the tune, and now hearing the words it breaks my heart to know that he was showing me something I should've seen sooner and because I didn't he's gone forever. I cry hearing this song and "I miss you" by blink 182. Both remind me of him he was only 17 commited suicide just a week before my birthday, August 25, 2016 R.I.P I love you I hope you have found peace and happiness.
Ginny Morris I know it hurts now but I promise you things get easier I lost my mom at 9 years old I was a mess and so depressed I know you can get threw it keep your head up love ❤️
Same. Remembering something small and insignificant that reminds you of someone, instantly bringing up physical emotions and pain, is pretty hard to think about. Thinking of a mother going through that is tough.
It's a very emotional line for someone who has lost someone and something small shows up and reminds you of them. Especially something that once made you angry, but would give any thing for them to do it again. I.e. when your father is alive you don't want him to yell at you. But when he's gone, you would give up any thing to hear him yell at you again.
"I couldn't wait to go home, to pass the time in my room alone." this has been me those past few months and I never even realized it until my mum pointed out today that she has barely even seen me lately.
JiZz2Xtreme try having this song as one of your go to songs before clocking in and you have to fight back tears so it doesn’t look like you’re crying at work.
@@ericblack8258 Go get help, from a friend, a family member, a professional it doesn't matter, what does it talking about how you feel. Hell if this wasn't public I'd offer you my email address if you need someone to listen. The emotions you feel when you listen to this song I've been there, more than once in my mere 30 years on this earth, if it wasn't for songs like this that i related too, from this particular genre of music, well rock in general, that's never seemed to shy away from saying things as they are. Green Day American idiot came out at a pivotal moment in my life, hands down that album alone did wonders, especially wake me up when September ends. Seeing them live at Milton Keynes perform that song as the lead singer cried, i felt a connection with another human being, whom i had a similar start to life as in some ways, it made me feel less alone and made me realise although the hurt may never completely go away i can get through it...i still fall back to these sorts of songs to pick me up and dust me off and guide me through the struggles of being human... especially in this day and age. It's sounds condescending and rather useless and crap, but keep your chin up and remember you're not alone. As this song depicts there is a light at the end of the tunnel, once you get to it you've survived and you won't be able to wait to get outside to live, you owe it to yourself to get the help and support you need to get there.
Come as you are: Take your time, hurry up, the choice is yours don't be late. Adam's song: I took my time, I hurried up, the choice was mine I didn't think enough.
My best friend commited suicide less than a year ago, I'd never heard this song until it came up randomly on UA-cam a week after. Haven't been able to stop listening to it. Literally every word is true to him. Peter I miss you everyday day x
Nirvana-"Take your time, hurry up, the choice is yours don't be late" Blink 182- "I took my time, I hurried up, the choice was mine, i didn't think enough"
i’m trying so hard to be positive but man i didn’t realize how hard it is to be happy hello update things are finally turning up! i’m getting happier and happier i’ve even made a few friends. all my hard work and pushing threw has paid off things are getting better. i’m happy to be alive. New update: Things are bad again
Hey, I'm sorry things are going bad, I really hope things look up soon. Please remember that it gets better, there will always be the light at the end of the tunnel. Keep trying, never give up, i believe in you.
I remember listening to this at 12 years old wanting to end it all,after being relentlessly bullied and thru some domestic violence. But im gonna be 21 this year and things are finally okay. Stay strong everyone, I promise it gets better.
I made a mistake listening to this song again for the first time in forever. I talked my friend out of suicide so many times. And he still ended up dying young. And it hurts because he was my best friend for so many years but near the end of our friendship I wasn't the best friend to him anymore that he deserved, he was hard to deal with at times and I had my own things going on. I hadn't talked to him in a while and learned about his death on fb. Never got to say goodbye. Never got to let him know I was sorry. Miss him all the time and wish I had of done things differently. So while this is a song of hope and I hope it helps many people. It just makes me miss my Adam.
April 20th, 2021 My best friend Matt shot himslef 2 feet in front of me... We were highly intoxicated.. He was fall down black out drunk... He was waiving his girls pistol around and i told him "give me that pistol dumb ass.." his response was to dome him self right in front of me... The 911 operator told me to do cpr i tried but i choked on his blood and inhaled what i think was his last breath... He saved my life.. Got me clean off heroine.. It happened 4 days after i finished detoxing... I dont know how to feel about it other than guilt and loss.... i love him and i miss him.
i love this song but it also makes me sad. im 32 now and obviously alive lol, but i was 16 when this was new and must have listened to this 10 times before i tried to kill myself on pills but luckily im ok and never tried again
We don't know each other but I'm sixteen at this moment and I'm so happy you're still around even if things looked like crap when you were my age, I hope life is treating you well.
rob gravenor same I tried to obviously it was a tragic fail ,unfortunately, but I'm happy your still around it gives me inspiration hope life is treating you well now tho
was 18 when this came out and was right about there. Only bought the album because I mixed up songs from another band. 34 now and look bad on this with appreciation.
My sons name was adam.... I never knew. The night it happened it was his dads visitation.... I beat myself up wishing I had let him stay with me. They got into a fight. It's been 10 yrs. I just heard about this song from a post on his FB page. Brings so many emotions back to the surface.
Astheni a after the girl I liked started dating my best friend the day I was going to ask her out, my parents getting divorceing,and being excluted from the society.I felt depressed every thing was going shit I also had the stress of school I decided to end my life. But I couldn’t I felt that this wasn’t fit for me I would not kill my self because of some other people I still had a life I had a better fate. A fate whom I could control To anyone suicidal to Don’t end your life because of other people You are blessed to be alive If you need to talk to someone than talk to someone your friends, your family, the psychiatrist, you can even talk to me if you want Please remember we are always here for you
I hate having depression. I've had it probably ever since I turned 18 probably. I go to school right now, don't really see my friends anymore, I barely talk to my parents and I spend most of my day in my room alone like this song says. Maybe that's why somedays I just lack motivation usually the weekends which is when I'm at home the whole day. Weekdays I'm usually in school for the whole day so I'm a little more motivated i guess.I do like solidarity but there's a point where it becomes too much though. I hope you guys with depression don't do anything that will affect the ones that care about you. Think of the people that care about you and don't do it. Life gets better.
I hate being stuck in quarentine with this depression. I'm low on food. I don't have enough to do and I can't tell if it's allergies or corona. I wish I could own a gun so I can just end it.
I really love this song for as heartbreaking as it is. The two lines that resonate with me are "You'll be sorry when I'm gone" but most notably "Please tell Mom this is not her fault". If only my mother knew what she's kept me from doing is all I have to say.
Everyone needs to find an anchor. My son when he was young was my anchor and now my grandson is the anchor that keeps me alive and prevents me from bringing the end unnaturally early
"You'll never step foot in my room again. You'll close it off, board it up. Remember the time that I spilled the cup of apple juice in the hall? Please tell mom this is not her fault." This is both a life saver and a heart stopper.
“Days when I still felt alive we couldn’t wait to get outside the world was wide” honestly remind me of when I was a kid just playing outside with my cousins and having fun. I was really depressed when I was in high school and I have depressive episodes now as a 24 year old. But I’m glad I never acted on my impulses, as a teen. I’ve met so many wonderful people
I remember listening to a lot of rock songs like this. (About depression) Without knowing the real meaning behind them. Now, I'm 15 and I'm fighting my self, my own demons. Sadly, I'm losing. But I won't give up. Not yet. I don't have anyone by my side right now. So I'm all alone. It's okay, I'm used to it anyways. So yeah, dear reader. Don't you dare give up on the smallest things in your life. Keep fighting.
13 with severe deprssion and anxiety. Good morning cruel world, not goodbye, because the world sucks but ill be damned if itll be rid of my crazy ass anytime soon.
You are kids. Everything can seem worse than it is at your age. Trust me we've all done it. I'm nearly 30 now and your teens can feel tough as you find who you are. The world's worth living but you gotta make it worth it yourself
My optic nerves got damaged this past year and my doctors dont know how it happend neither do i i my brain has been shooting me to death and its been destroying my life im 15 i was 14 when it happend i may not have many people i can relate but im fighting it off, it may never get better but im not giving up on life
So I've never done this before and I don't really comment on youtube. But every year I open this song, listen to it and die inside. 24 years ago today, by your brother and me were walking home from school, mum had just picked us up and she'd gotten a promotion at work, she took us in to do a charity thing, we sang and raised money. We were 4 and 5, the residents at a care home we were singing in gave us cream eggs and as another treat, my mother offered to get us ice cream on the way home, it was a lovely warm day. Unfortunately he was way too excited and ran straight into the middle of the road, that day and that moment my life changed completely and for the worse. His name was Adam, and I miss him every day.
Guess Noone will read it, but I would write it just for me. I had friends and all, but everybody knows this kind of feeling. I am fighting my tears in a crowded bus... I love you guy... I love your music... I grew up with you... Thank for being there!!!!
Yes, I felt this way from about 14-19. Life gets better, with discipline, responsibility, hard work, resilience and faith in Christ. You will make it. Adopt as much responsibility as you can possibly shoulder in your life and it will give you a meaning to get up each day
@@ficcionyrealidad7816 Adam was a real person, he killed himself because he used to be bullied in school. He left a letter for his parents that eventually contacted Blink and told them about it, they wanted the letter to be an inspiration for a song, which is known as Adam's Song
@@NameMyCat Not true. There was no Adam or suicidal letter from a fan. These are false rumors. It's about Mark's own struggles with depression and saying it's about a kid who never existed takes away from his real struggle.
ik i didnt go over the edge but that line to pass the time in my room alone. idk y but it hurt a lot. Im often so loney yet i dont wanna be around anybody else
I like having my space but sometimes I just feel so alone idk if I'm being dramatic bc i have friends who are actually depressed and idk what to do cuz I'm supposed to be there for them and then I feel alone and I can't help anyone
I'm alive because my mom cared. My dad never gave a shit. When I was in high school I had a 3.9 GPA and my dad said "Why wasn't it a 4.0" and then beat the shit out of me with his belt. So then I went to college. Majoring in physics, I got a 3.0 GPA....of course my drunk-ass dad said "why not a 4.0" and beat the hell out of me. Years later, dad tried to kill my mom...and mom shot him. Didn't kill him though. And why am I spilling my guts out to UA-cam? I don't know.
I know this will probably never get back to Mark, Tom and Travis. But this song probably saved my life in the early 2000s. They end it on a hopeful note and that kept me going. Thanks guys.
i love this song it helped me through hard times and to tell the truth it is the same with all blink182 songs and this one is just one of the best. LONG LIVE BLINK182!!!!!
@@robbiejohns4731 Yea animals are the best especially dogs! Cats are amazing companions for us too, but dogs are just connected on a different level with people it seems! If u ever notice 10 different "creatures" or species can pass by a dog and no real reaction but as soon as a person does they'll pop up with their tail wagging all excited like! Pretty remarkable considering humans are actually the least deserving if u really think about all the horrific things literally only our species does!!
And I hope u are able to get thru whatever it is u are struggling with btw!! Definitely keep leaning on ur animals for support cuz their loyalty will never break or even waiver for that matter!! It's never about their needs before yours! And again especially with dogs they literally get enjoyment out of showing you love and just by you allowing them to love on you!! Truly incredible creatures
@@robbiejohns4731 I'm with you there my male cat bought me out of countless seizures & a friend's 4 month old puppy bought me out of several as well between late May to early August & someone I know witnessed this I'm completely broken, My memory of that time is virtually blank & I'm scared I have some form of brain damage because of It the only thing that makes me hold onto life are my 2 cats who only have 3 legs.
In Come As You Are by Nirvana, it says "take your time, hurry up, the choice is yours, don't be late" and in this song it says "I took my time, I hurried up, the choice was mine, I didn't think enough" coincidence? Probably, but I don't think so.
All these lyrics are so relatable. I would always pass time in my room alone playing video games, watching shows and anime and stuff like that never hanging out. I'm 17 and ever since I turned it my life has gone downhill, with my parents divorcing. 16 held such slbetter days as those were the days when I used to actually hang out with friends, and get drunk and party with them, some of the best memories of my life that I'll probably never see again. Telling mom it's not her fault always makes me feel sad because if I died she would probably give up too, as she's said I'm the only thing keeping her alive anymore. My dad would probably get over it as he has a girlfriend and she would help him get through it, and he would of course be hurt about it. The apple juice in the hall lyrics reminds me of my younger days when my parents always fought with each other, and I had no siblings to turn to so instead I just sat in the other room listening to my parents yelling and screaming. The another six months part is true as I guarantee all my friends and classmates would not even mention my name by the, and if they did they would just say it's a shame and move on. The cord plugged in the wall makes me feel like I was never happy to begin with, and of course wasn't surprised by that. I never conqured in my life, living a bitter sweet one with barely any good memories. I rarely came to parties and hung out with friends. The choice of hanging out with friends and becoming more social was mine, and of course I didn't think enough like I usually do, so in the end I reverted back to my depressed self after actually starting to become more sociable. I took my sweet time hanging with my friends and hurried up. I would give all my things to my friends like my Playstation and PC, and my dad would probably board my room up since he wouldn't want the memories. I guess I'm just trying to vent right now and realized that I relate way to much to this song, anyways thanks for listening to my rant.
I hope you are doing better now if you ever wanna talk I am here. Life is precious and the only time you should ever look back is to see how far you have come. Give your mum a hug and tell her it will be ok that you and her will work through it and be each others support. Also friends go on discord and other places to talk about intresting things then become friends. It helps to have people to talk to there are so many sweet people you just have to look for them.
stay strong man, hate that people feel like this in the world but that’s life. i feel the exact way man i always have. i’m 19 now and my childhood best friend took his life a couple months ago. i haven’t spoke to him in years. we both could have helped each other. it eats me alive
the lyrics "i took my time, i hurried up, the choice was mine" is a reference to nirvana's 'come as you are' those lyrics being "take your time, hurry up, choice is yours"
My little brother ended his life nearly 3 months ago, he was drunk....shot himself.., he loved guitar he was getting really good to, I haven’t heard this song in like 4 years but man, Blink-182 is just one of those bands man, thank you guys, this song hurts so much more but I truly appreciate you guys for making it 💙
I'm so sorry for your loss. you're not alone. talk about it as much as you need to, and if you ever feel you don't have someone, find me here and we can talk. sending love, stay strong
Never forget about my brother J. Love him and hope he will be in better spirits, he played this at work and I know something is happening in his life which is tolling him.
This has been stuck in my head and even though I'm, "Too young to like or know this music" I love it. This is kind of my anthem for no reason. It's that sad happy song you just listen to randomly for that weird mixed emotion. Hope everyone is doing great and if not remember tomorrow holds a better day with no mistakes waiting on you.
It is good to read the comments to this song. I am 71 and relate strongly to it , as when I first heard it, surprised that someone could capture these feelings, that someone else could have these feelings..
This song hits so close to home today. I found out a 12 year old girl that attended my church a couple years ago until she moved took her life on Tuesday. So sad to see someone so young believe that’s the only option. It makes me both sad and furious that somewhere someone failed this young lady.
People always thought Blink was just some gross vulgar band, but in reality they were deep, Mark still says thank you after he plays this, this song means a lot to him, he wrote this song at a dark time in his life, and now that he beat cancer it really does have a lot of meaning to him, since he actually did want to kill himself not knowing if he could handle beating cancer, but he did, so this song means more to him than ever.
I found this song when my aunt showed it to me. She told me it was one of my dad's favorite songs by Blink 182, and he passed away almost 8 years ago. This song found me qt a really rough place in my life, and is helping me get through it.
listening to this & remembering how bad i used to feel. if you're reading this, i promise promise promise you that everything will work out in the end. if you're looking for a sign, this is it. don't cut your beautiful life short, please
Blink-182 has been my favorite band since I was 8 years old. (1999) My oldest brother listened to all their albums so one day I borrowed his CD Player and I was hooked. I’m 30 now and I will look anyone in their eyes and proudly tell them Blink-182 is my favorite band. (Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, Travis Barker and Scott Raynor) I’ll list their discography as well. I’m also a big fan of One Piece. (Naruto is my favorite All-Time anime) I’ve been pretty low in some points in life. Abusive family; perpetually drunk dad, mom who always wastes my dad’s money gambling it away on lotto tickets, my oldest brother was violent, but at least my older brother was cool. I definitely considered suicide at points in life. I thought “What if I fall backwards out this 2nd floor window and land headfirst?” It would look like an accident and I can escape this torment of hell that I was enduring. It didn’t help that I was being bullied at elementary school for being poor. I’m surprised I made it out alive. I now have pretty much everything I ever wanted: own a home, well paying job and beautiful girlfriend. I couldn’t be happier and I still feel like a Meseeks. (Rick and Morty reference) Anyways, my point was going to be that I hope to come back to this comment when One Piece ends and I hope to see you here. 👊🏻🧑🏻🌾🏴☠️❤️🎸🎶🤘🏻
Lyrics (since i think they're not very easy to read as it's either during or after the words are sung) I never thought I'd die alone, I laughed the loudest, who'd have known? I traced the cord back to the wall, No wonder it was never plugged in at all. I took my time, I hurried up, The choice was mine, didn't think enough. I'm too depressed to go on, You'll be sorry when I'm gone. I never conquered, rarely came. Sixteen just held such better days. Days when I still felt alive, We couldn't wait to get outside. The world was too wide, too late to try, The tour was over, we'd survived. I couldn't wait til I got home, To pass the time in my room alone. I never thought I'd die alone, Another six months I'll be unknown. Give all my things, to all my friends, You'll never step foot in my room again. You'll close it off, board it up, Remember the time that I spilled the cup. Of apple juice in the hall, Please tell mom this is not her fault. I never conquered, rarely came. Sixteen just held such better days. Days when I still felt alive, We couldn't wait to get outside. The world was too wide, too late to try, The tour was over, we'd survived. I couldn't wait til I got home, To pass the time in my room alone. I never conquered, rarely came. Tomorrow holds such better days. Days when I still feel alive, When I can't wait to get outside. The world is wide, the time goes by, The tour is over, I'd survived. I can't wait til I get home, to pass the time in my room alone.
I know I dont know you but I wanted to say thanks. Today I wrote a suicide note and I was about to go through with it. I didn't because I couldn't imagine what that would do to my family. Now every once in a while I just start crying I dont know what to do. I'm afraid of death so I didn't want to get to comfortable with life. I have random thoughts of my demise. I dont know what is going on. I have no reason to feel this way. This comment made me smile.
fucker mcfuckface dude💕 I’m so glad you didn’t go through with it! I always have your feelings. Trust me man it’s hard but WE ARE WORTH IT HERE. Please message me if you ever need to talk or just need to vent. Love you man. Keep strong!! 👍🏽❤️
I try everyday but It's the loneliness & isolation that gets me the most, I have a disability & I'm virtually housebound & rarely get visits from my very small circle of friends. It seems the only people that drop in & check up on me are carers & those who deliver my my meals on wheels. If It wasn't for my cats I wouldn't be replying to this comment.
I'm almost 30; I never listened to this song because I knew how sad it was. My brother took his life back in December, and when this song came on the radio, I finally listened. I miss my brother more than any of these words can convey, and I hope that anyone feeling low or like they cqnt go on anymore sees this and realizes that they're more loved than their perception lets on.
This song hit me right where it hurts 💔 I split up with my girl of 10 years and I just haven't been the same since I'm still in love with her but I can't have her it's so painful on top of depression and anxiety and PTSD. I'm a broken man, if your with the people you love, don't ever take them for granted, I found out the hard way 😢

I cry every time when he says "Please tell mom this is not her fault" I looked down a barrel of a gun and a voice said right as I was about to do it "What will your mother do without you" I'm crying typing this because that shit hits home big time.
Y'all know this song was created for a fan of blink that committed suicide, hens the title "Adam's song." It is a song of suicide awareness but also a tribute to their fan who said the band kept him going through hard times prior to his death.
Man my parents used to play this a lot and I jammed to it as a little kid, but never knew what the lyrics meant. Coming back 10 years later at 16 damn these lyrics are dark. Still a great song
In case no one noticed this is a song of hope. The first two choruses are sung in past tense but the last chorus is sung in present tense Wich means he didn't end his life. Time is like a river and takes you to,through and past difficult times
Thanks for bringing this up, so many people miss the point of the song.
That is beautiful
I always found this song inspirational. No matter how bad you feel at the moment it will pass. I'm not sure why so many people miss the point of this song.
You are SO correct in this point. Thank you for this. Thank ❤❤❤
or maybe it goes back to the time where he thought everything was fine, just before when he kills himself.
it's just a thing of perspective lol
“I couldn’t wait til I got home to pass the time in my room alone” I really felt that one. depression is a real bitch, and I’m sorry for all of you that suffer from it, it’s the absolute worst. Love you all

I thought the same xD
Me tooo!
M R fuck fam
M R damn dude. Let that shit sink in now with what that means. Heavy.
thats how i found this song
"Please tell mom this is not her fault". Who else gets a little teary eyed at that part?
It was not her fault that she died of cancer and I survived at 23, I am 43 and still dead. RÍP. me.
Not me - my parents are part of the reason I wish I was dead
I’m really sorry y’all are dealing with what you are. I know life can be tough sometimes. But it gets better, I promise. You’re all in my prayers.
Hang tough!
When i was 19 i go to jail, so tell mom this is not her fault..
Me
"please tell mom this is not her fault" held me in place for years.
Yo, fucking legit, everytime i think of this i think of my mom, cause if this song.
For real though. Growing up, she was my hero. She'll never know the times I held on with her face in my mind. She'll never know what she got me through...
Legit made me cry man, you never know how heavy this is till you have your finger on the trigger.
That one verse has made me cry more times than I care to admit, but my mum is my world and I'll love her for the rest of my life, she made me the man I am

The apple juice lyric as he mentioned his mother always cuts deep, for me.

Me too
NewDawnFadesX this. It’s the worst lyric in the song.
Same. Remembering something small and insignificant that reminds you of someone, instantly bringing up physical emotions and pain, is pretty hard to think about. Thinking of a mother going through that is tough.
It's a very emotional line for someone who has lost someone and something small shows up and reminds you of them. Especially something that once made you angry, but would give any thing for them to do it again. I.e. when your father is alive you don't want him to yell at you. But when he's gone, you would give up any thing to hear him yell at you again.
"Tomorrow holds such better days. Days when I can still feel alive. When I can't wait to get outside." I love this line.
"I couldn't wait to go home, to pass the time in my room alone."
this has been me those past few months and I never even realized it until my mum pointed out today that she has barely even seen me lately.
is there a reason?
its om dont worry. It gets better. Just be grateful you have a mom and a room. some us dont even have that.
Dont give up
Kid, always love your ma and also improve your station in life so that you could get your ma a nice big car ❤️

JiZz2Xtreme try having this song as one of your go to songs before clocking in and you have to fight back tears so it doesn’t look like you’re crying at work.
@@ericblack8258 Go get help, from a friend, a family member, a professional it doesn't matter, what does it talking about how you feel. Hell if this wasn't public I'd offer you my email address if you need someone to listen.
The emotions you feel when you listen to this song I've been there, more than once in my mere 30 years on this earth, if it wasn't for songs like this that i related too, from this particular genre of music, well rock in general, that's never seemed to shy away from saying things as they are.
Green Day American idiot came out at a pivotal moment in my life, hands down that album alone did wonders, especially wake me up when September ends. Seeing them live at Milton Keynes perform that song as the lead singer cried, i felt a connection with another human being, whom i had a similar start to life as in some ways, it made me feel less alone and made me realise although the hurt may never completely go away i can get through it...i still fall back to these sorts of songs to pick me up and dust me off and guide me through the struggles of being human... especially in this day and age.
It's sounds condescending and rather useless and crap, but keep your chin up and remember you're not alone. As this song depicts there is a light at the end of the tunnel, once you get to it you've survived and you won't be able to wait to get outside to live, you owe it to yourself to get the help and support you need to get there.
Too late...
Thanks for the warning.
That part always makes me cry 😢
Come as you are: Take your time, hurry up, the choice is yours don't be late.
Adam's song: I took my time, I hurried up, the choice was mine I didn't think enough.
Oh I was listening to Come as you are recently and I couldn't remember where else I'd heard that line, thank you for pointing that out!!
Adam's Song was likely referencing Kurt Cobain. Come As You Are was (I think) referencing Simple Man by Leonard Skynard.
“16 just held such better days” aint that the truth

I was 16 in 1996 - a great decade to be a teenager.

This song is definitely a good memory gone sour.

i’m trying so hard to be positive but man i didn’t realize how hard it is to be happy
hello update things are finally turning up! i’m getting happier and happier i’ve even made a few friends. all my hard work and pushing threw has paid off things are getting better. i’m happy to be alive.
New update: Things are bad again
Happy to hear that! Keep goin
good for you, hope it gets even better!
Keep on bro , you deserve the best
Hey, I'm sorry things are going bad, I really hope things look up soon. Please remember that it gets better, there will always be the light at the end of the tunnel. Keep trying, never give up, i believe in you.
I remember listening to this at 12 years old wanting to end it all,after being relentlessly bullied and thru some domestic violence. But im gonna be 21 this year and things are finally okay. Stay strong everyone, I promise it gets better.
Been there bro. It's a hard thing to go through but my love went through way worse. Thank God she's alive
I made a mistake listening to this song again for the first time in forever.
I talked my friend out of suicide so many times. And he still ended up dying young. And it hurts because he was my best friend for so many years but near the end of our friendship I wasn't the best friend to him anymore that he deserved, he was hard to deal with at times and I had my own things going on. I hadn't talked to him in a while and learned about his death on fb. Never got to say goodbye. Never got to let him know I was sorry. Miss him all the time and wish I had of done things differently. So while this is a song of hope and I hope it helps many people. It just makes me miss my Adam.
April 20th, 2021 My best friend Matt shot himslef 2 feet in front of me... We were highly intoxicated.. He was fall down black out drunk... He was waiving his girls pistol around and i told him "give me that pistol dumb ass.." his response was to dome him self right in front of me... The 911 operator told me to do cpr i tried but i choked on his blood and inhaled what i think was his last breath... He saved my life.. Got me clean off heroine.. It happened 4 days after i finished detoxing... I dont know how to feel about it other than guilt and loss.... i love him and i miss him.

@@tony_anello Think the same bro. Their lives are "easier" and still they feel alone. That means something wrong happens to our society.
@@tony_anello There has been worse, It's called the Deep Web, while Columbine was tragic but I suggest you do a little bit more research.
I normally don't cry to songs, but right now I'm a human waterfall.
imagine if the entire song was relatable and spoke to you, and then your name was also adam
You said a Human After All? XD Because Daft Punk read you there ;)
this song hits different when you actually want it all to just end
I hope you're still here brother
Absolutely true bro
My thoughts are with you, homie
Hey man how are you doing now?
Yeah that’s true
i love this song but it also makes me sad. im 32 now and obviously alive lol, but i was 16 when this was new and must have listened to this 10 times before i tried to kill myself on pills but luckily im ok and never tried again
We don't know each other but I'm sixteen at this moment and I'm so happy you're still around even if things looked like crap when you were my age, I hope life is treating you well.
rob gravenor same I tried to obviously it was a tragic fail ,unfortunately, but I'm happy your still around it gives me inspiration hope life is treating you well now tho
Bravo
was 18 when this came out and was right about there. Only bought the album because I mixed up songs from another band. 34 now and look bad on this with appreciation.
Sorry to hear that brother
The shift from past to present tense holds so much meaning in conjunction with the context of the lyrics. I've always loved that.
My sons name was adam.... I never knew. The night it happened it was his dads visitation.... I beat myself up wishing I had let him stay with me. They got into a fight. It's been 10 yrs. I just heard about this song from a post on his FB page. Brings so many emotions back to the surface.
So his Father killed him during his visit?
@@kevinkelly5569 They probably took their own life because of the fight.
I'm truly, extremely sorry for your loss
To everyone suicidal ur not alone

after the girl I liked started dating my best friend the day I was going to ask her out, my parents getting divorceing,and being excluted from the society.I felt depressed every thing was going shit I also had the stress of school I decided to end my life.
But I couldn’t I felt that this wasn’t fit for me I would not kill my self because of some other people I still had a life I had a better fate. A fate whom I could control
To anyone suicidal to
Don’t end your life because of other people
You are blessed to be alive
If you need to talk to someone than talk to someone your friends, your family, the psychiatrist, you can even talk to me if you want
Please remember we are always here for you
I hate having depression. I've had it probably ever since I turned 18 probably. I go to school right now, don't really see my friends anymore, I barely talk to my parents and I spend most of my day in my room alone like this song says. Maybe that's why somedays I just lack motivation usually the weekends which is when I'm at home the whole day. Weekdays I'm usually in school for the whole day so I'm a little more motivated i guess.I do like solidarity but there's a point where it becomes too much though. I hope you guys with depression don't do anything that will affect the ones that care about you. Think of the people that care about you and don't do it. Life gets better.
I hate being stuck in quarentine with this depression. I'm low on food. I don't have enough to do and I can't tell if it's allergies or corona. I wish I could own a gun so I can just end it.
I really love this song for as heartbreaking as it is. The two lines that resonate with me are "You'll be sorry when I'm gone" but most notably "Please tell Mom this is not her fault".
If only my mother knew what she's kept me from doing is all I have to say.
Are you okay?
Everyone needs to find an anchor. My son when he was young was my anchor and now my grandson is the anchor that keeps me alive and prevents me from bringing the end unnaturally early
I understand. ❤️
People only care when its too late,dont say rip if you never tried to help when the person was alive
That's everyone with everything
YES
Rip
Damn fuckily true
Exactly. Amen to that.
"You'll never step foot in my room again.
You'll close it off, board it up.
Remember the time that I spilled the cup of apple juice in the hall?
Please tell mom this is not her fault."
This is both a life saver and a heart stopper.
33 years old and this song still makes me cry. Guess I'm not as dead inside as I thought lol
Lol. I had this cd back in the days. Now I can’t find it. I miss it
This song helps a lot not thinking of suicide but going through bullshit and everything this song helps with that
16 just held better days
10 years later
I just want Happy Days
I love you and other people love you. I’m here for you
"Please tell mom this is not her fault" always gets me everytime
I think anyone who plays this is one bad day away from being adam
Nah bro, I like the lyrics.
TrAvis Sheppard damn that hit me in the feels
Depression sucks but so do most things
#Stayalive
TrAvis Sheppard I have this on constant repeat. And guess what? You're correct. All I need is just one more push, and I'll be right there with Adam.
“Days when I still felt alive we couldn’t wait to get outside the world was wide” honestly remind me of when I was a kid just playing outside with my cousins and having fun. I was really depressed when I was in high school and I have depressive episodes now as a 24 year old. But I’m glad I never acted on my impulses, as a teen. I’ve met so many wonderful people
Im glad. Hope that remains
I remember listening to a lot of rock songs like this. (About depression) Without knowing the real meaning behind them.
Now, I'm 15 and I'm fighting my self, my own demons. Sadly, I'm losing. But I won't give up. Not yet.
I don't have anyone by my side right now. So I'm all alone. It's okay, I'm used to it anyways.
So yeah, dear reader. Don't you dare give up on the smallest things in your life. Keep fighting.
13 with severe deprssion and anxiety. Good morning cruel world, not goodbye, because the world sucks but ill be damned if itll be rid of my crazy ass anytime soon.
You are kids. Everything can seem worse than it is at your age. Trust me we've all done it. I'm nearly 30 now and your teens can feel tough as you find who you are. The world's worth living but you gotta make it worth it yourself
My optic nerves got damaged this past year and my doctors dont know how it happend neither do i i my brain has been shooting me to death and its been destroying my life im 15 i was 14 when it happend i may not have many people i can relate but im fighting it off, it may never get better but im not giving up on life
@RaindropSketches It would be nice talking to you. :)) Thank you!!
Hang in there, it gets better and easier to manage.
So I've never done this before and I don't really comment on youtube. But every year I open this song, listen to it and die inside. 24 years ago today, by your brother and me were walking home from school, mum had just picked us up and she'd gotten a promotion at work, she took us in to do a charity thing, we sang and raised money. We were 4 and 5, the residents at a care home we were singing in gave us cream eggs and as another treat, my mother offered to get us ice cream on the way home, it was a lovely warm day.
Unfortunately he was way too excited and ran straight into the middle of the road, that day and that moment my life changed completely and for the worse.
His name was Adam, and I miss him every day.
So sorry for your loss.
So sorry for what you had to go through
I am so sorry for your loss
Guess Noone will read it, but I would write it just for me. I had friends and all, but everybody knows this kind of feeling. I am fighting my tears in a crowded bus... I love you guy... I love your music... I grew up with you... Thank for being there!!!!
I actually couldn't wait till I get home to pass the time in my room alone, seriously!
What
Same
Depression is real.
Anyone else been so depressed as a teen you did lose yourself? Still alive but part of you is gone. So this is why I relate to this song.
me too
I got teased and bullied in HS and I feel like that sent my life on a certain trajectory.
Yes, I felt this way from about 14-19. Life gets better, with discipline, responsibility, hard work, resilience and faith in Christ. You will make it. Adopt as much responsibility as you can possibly shoulder in your life and it will give you a meaning to get up each day
That mom line still makes me tear up a decade later
Sometimes you just have those days where you feel like Adam.
Who's Adam? Or its's jsut a fictional character for the song?
@@ficcionyrealidad7816 Adam was a real person, he killed himself because he used to be bullied in school. He left a letter for his parents that eventually contacted Blink and told them about it, they wanted the letter to be an inspiration for a song, which is known as Adam's Song
@@NameMyCat Not true. There was no Adam or suicidal letter from a fan. These are false rumors. It's about Mark's own struggles with depression and saying it's about a kid who never existed takes away from his real struggle.
no Eve
I never really got that into blink 182 but now I think it's time to reminisce in all of the greatest alternative music from the 90's and early 2000's
Amen
This never fails to tear me up . Remembering my own teenage depression. Now , I have a 15 year old son . God I pray for him
ik i didnt go over the edge but that line to pass the time in my room alone. idk y but it hurt a lot. Im often so loney yet i dont wanna be around anybody else
I like having my space but sometimes I just feel so alone idk if I'm being dramatic bc i have friends who are actually depressed and idk what to do cuz I'm supposed to be there for them and then I feel alone and I can't help anyone
Please tell Mom this is not her fault.
I'm alive because my mom cared. My dad never gave a shit. When I was in high school I had a 3.9 GPA and my dad said "Why wasn't it a 4.0" and then beat the shit out of me with his belt.
So then I went to college. Majoring in physics, I got a 3.0 GPA....of course my drunk-ass dad said "why not a 4.0" and beat the hell out of me.
Years later, dad tried to kill my mom...and mom shot him. Didn't kill him though.
And why am I spilling my guts out to UA-cam? I don't know.
jb111082 I’m so sorry....
That lyric gets everybody
the moment you realize they referenced to a Nirvana song
Well the song was based on a person they went to high school with that killed himself.
Emo_otaku_nerd 5571 you ...you , just no. I love nirvana but this song was not about that. Please tell me where you though that idea.
*was not about nirvana
and arrow is correct
when they said "I took my time, I hurried up"
29 years old now listening to this song and it still hits as hard as it did when I would listen to it crying as a kid.
For me, the hardest part to swallow in this song is the only sentence "please tell mom it was not her fault"
Tomorrow holds such better days 🙂
I know
Sana all
❤
Rip Greg Barnes.. im sorry you went through what you did. I only imagine the sense of peace you're feeling now 😪
Such a beautiful song. Such a shame they're not playing it live anymore...
PleasureToGrill they just did in Hershey PA
They did in their new tour! Hopefully they continue to play the song on future tours
I know this will probably never get back to Mark, Tom and Travis. But this song probably saved my life in the early 2000s. They end it on a hopeful note and that kept me going. Thanks guys.
I don’t know you but I’m glad you’re still around
i love this song it helped me through hard times and to tell the truth it is the same with all blink182 songs and this one is just one of the best. LONG LIVE BLINK182!!!!!
This song is a good one for anyone who feels like they are broken beyond repair
I myself am broken beyond repair but I keep going. My animals help. They are both my children and my emotional support animals.
@@robbiejohns4731 Yea animals are the best especially dogs! Cats are amazing companions for us too, but dogs are just connected on a different level with people it seems! If u ever notice 10 different "creatures" or species can pass by a dog and no real reaction but as soon as a person does they'll pop up with their tail wagging all excited like! Pretty remarkable considering humans are actually the least deserving if u really think about all the horrific things literally only our species does!!
And I hope u are able to get thru whatever it is u are struggling with btw!! Definitely keep leaning on ur animals for support cuz their loyalty will never break or even waiver for that matter!! It's never about their needs before yours! And again especially with dogs they literally get enjoyment out of showing you love and just by you allowing them to love on you!! Truly incredible creatures
@@robbiejohns4731 I'm with you there my male cat bought me out of countless seizures & a friend's 4 month old puppy bought me out of several as well between late May to early August & someone I know witnessed this I'm completely broken, My memory of that time is virtually blank & I'm scared I have some form of brain damage because of It the only thing that makes me hold onto life are my 2 cats who only have 3 legs.
Dad was the reason I cried at this song when I was younger. Mom was the reason I didn't do it.
Hugs for u
Stay strong. Your mom needs you.
In Come As You Are by Nirvana, it says "take your time, hurry up, the choice is yours, don't be late" and in this song it says "I took my time, I hurried up, the choice was mine, I didn't think enough" coincidence? Probably, but I don't think so.
Definitely a reference bro
It's not a coincidence, look at "Adams song" at Wikipedia....
You're really dense lmao
Does it really matter?
You`re a fucking idiot
Almost 30 yrs old, grew up with Blink and this song still gets to me 😪
All these lyrics are so relatable. I would always pass time in my room alone playing video games, watching shows and anime and stuff like that never hanging out. I'm 17 and ever since I turned it my life has gone downhill, with my parents divorcing. 16 held such slbetter days as those were the days when I used to actually hang out with friends, and get drunk and party with them, some of the best memories of my life that I'll probably never see again. Telling mom it's not her fault always makes me feel sad because if I died she would probably give up too, as she's said I'm the only thing keeping her alive anymore. My dad would probably get over it as he has a girlfriend and she would help him get through it, and he would of course be hurt about it. The apple juice in the hall lyrics reminds me of my younger days when my parents always fought with each other, and I had no siblings to turn to so instead I just sat in the other room listening to my parents yelling and screaming. The another six months part is true as I guarantee all my friends and classmates would not even mention my name by the, and if they did they would just say it's a shame and move on. The cord plugged in the wall makes me feel like I was never happy to begin with, and of course wasn't surprised by that. I never conqured in my life, living a bitter sweet one with barely any good memories. I rarely came to parties and hung out with friends. The choice of hanging out with friends and becoming more social was mine, and of course I didn't think enough like I usually do, so in the end I reverted back to my depressed self after actually starting to become more sociable. I took my sweet time hanging with my friends and hurried up. I would give all my things to my friends like my Playstation and PC, and my dad would probably board my room up since he wouldn't want the memories. I guess I'm just trying to vent right now and realized that I relate way to much to this song, anyways thanks for listening to my rant.
I hope you are doing better now if you ever wanna talk I am here. Life is precious and the only time you should ever look back is to see how far you have come. Give your mum a hug and tell her it will be ok that you and her will work through it and be each others support. Also friends go on discord and other places to talk about intresting things then become friends. It helps to have people to talk to there are so many sweet people you just have to look for them.
stay strong man, hate that people feel like this in the world but that’s life. i feel the exact way man i always have. i’m 19 now and my childhood best friend took his life a couple months ago. i haven’t spoke to him in years. we both could have helped each other. it eats me alive
i hope you're doing better, im 17 too and im really going through shit rn and idk how u did it, survived, im proud of you man
Hopefully your doing better
How's going?
the lyrics "i took my time, i hurried up, the choice was mine" is a reference to nirvana's 'come as you are'
those lyrics being "take your time, hurry up, choice is yours"
Damn this song brings back memories when I felt this way. holy shit
how do u feel now? hope u r doing better.
My little brother ended his life nearly 3 months ago, he was drunk....shot himself.., he loved guitar he was getting really good to, I haven’t heard this song in like 4 years but man,
Blink-182 is just one of those bands man, thank you guys, this song hurts so much more but I truly appreciate you guys for making it 💙
Peace and love be weith you brother, sending healing energies.

I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry for your loss. you're not alone. talk about it as much as you need to, and if you ever feel you don't have someone, find me here and we can talk. sending love, stay strong
Never forget about my brother J. Love him and hope he will be in better spirits, he played this at work and I know something is happening in his life which is tolling him.
This has been stuck in my head and even though I'm, "Too young to like or know this music" I love it. This is kind of my anthem for no reason. It's that sad happy song you just listen to randomly for that weird mixed emotion. Hope everyone is doing great and if not remember tomorrow holds a better day with no mistakes waiting on you.
It is good to read the comments to this song. I am 71 and relate strongly to it , as when I first heard it, surprised that someone could capture these feelings, that someone else could have these feelings..
This song hits so close to home today. I found out a 12 year old girl that attended my church a couple years ago until she moved took her life on Tuesday. So sad to see someone so young believe that’s the only option. It makes me both sad and furious that somewhere someone failed this young lady.
I Miss You Mom
People always thought Blink was just some gross vulgar band, but in reality they were deep, Mark still says thank you after he plays this, this song means a lot to him, he wrote this song at a dark time in his life, and now that he beat cancer it really does have a lot of meaning to him, since he actually did want to kill himself not knowing if he could handle beating cancer, but he did, so this song means more to him than ever.
I found this song when my aunt showed it to me. She told me it was one of my dad's favorite songs by Blink 182, and he passed away almost 8 years ago. This song found me qt a really rough place in my life, and is helping me get through it.
listening to this & remembering how bad i used to feel. if you're reading this, i promise promise promise you that everything will work out in the end. if you're looking for a sign, this is it. don't cut your beautiful life short, please
20 years later and its still my theme song.
This song always hits me right in the heart because it reminds me of my best friend that passed away. Was always his favorite band
Not gonna lie, one piece not being finished is the main reason I keep on going.
Blink-182 has been my favorite band since I was 8 years old. (1999) My oldest brother listened to all their albums so one day I borrowed his CD Player and I was hooked. I’m 30 now and I will look anyone in their eyes and proudly tell them Blink-182 is my favorite band. (Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, Travis Barker and Scott Raynor) I’ll list their discography as well.
I’m also a big fan of One Piece. (Naruto is my favorite All-Time anime)
I’ve been pretty low in some points in life. Abusive family; perpetually drunk dad, mom who always wastes my dad’s money gambling it away on lotto tickets, my oldest brother was violent, but at least my older brother was cool. I definitely considered suicide at points in life. I thought “What if I fall backwards out this 2nd floor window and land headfirst?” It would look like an accident and I can escape this torment of hell that I was enduring. It didn’t help that I was being bullied at elementary school for being poor. I’m surprised I made it out alive. I now have pretty much everything I ever wanted: own a home, well paying job and beautiful girlfriend. I couldn’t be happier and I still feel like a Meseeks. (Rick and Morty reference)
Anyways, my point was going to be that I hope to come back to this comment when One Piece ends and I hope to see you here.
👊🏻🧑🏻🌾🏴☠️❤️🎸🎶🤘🏻
I move on because of Berserk , maybe someday guts smiles again, he is the reason i am still struggling through life
Lyrics (since i think they're not very easy to read as it's either during or after the words are sung)
I never thought I'd die alone,
I laughed the loudest, who'd have known?
I traced the cord back to the wall,
No wonder it was never plugged in at all.
I took my time, I hurried up,
The choice was mine, didn't think enough.
I'm too depressed to go on,
You'll be sorry when I'm gone.
I never conquered, rarely came.
Sixteen just held such better days.
Days when I still felt alive,
We couldn't wait to get outside.
The world was too wide, too late to try,
The tour was over, we'd survived.
I couldn't wait til I got home,
To pass the time in my room alone.
I never thought I'd die alone,
Another six months I'll be unknown.
Give all my things, to all my friends,
You'll never step foot in my room again.
You'll close it off, board it up,
Remember the time that I spilled the cup.
Of apple juice in the hall,
Please tell mom this is not her fault.
I never conquered, rarely came.
Sixteen just held such better days.
Days when I still felt alive,
We couldn't wait to get outside.
The world was too wide, too late to try,
The tour was over, we'd survived.
I couldn't wait til I got home,
To pass the time in my room alone.
I never conquered, rarely came.
Tomorrow holds such better days.
Days when I still feel alive,
When I can't wait to get outside.
The world is wide, the time goes by,
The tour is over, I'd survived.
I can't wait til I get home,
to pass the time in my room alone.
"the tour was over we'd survived" for every veteran that has returned and thought about ending it too soon.
stay strong.
Whoever is reading this, I love you. You are special.
I know I dont know you but I wanted to say thanks. Today I wrote a suicide note and I was about to go through with it. I didn't because I couldn't imagine what that would do to my family. Now every once in a while I just start crying I dont know what to do. I'm afraid of death so I didn't want to get to comfortable with life. I have random thoughts of my demise. I dont know what is going on. I have no reason to feel this way. This comment made me smile.
Meh..your too cheeky.

No matter how bad it gets, KEEP GOING.
I'll try man
me too
no matter how hard it gets lets fucking go
I try everyday but It's the loneliness & isolation that gets me the most, I have a disability & I'm virtually housebound & rarely get visits from my very small circle of friends. It seems the only people that drop in & check up on me are carers & those who deliver my my meals on wheels.
If It wasn't for my cats I wouldn't be replying to this comment.
When growing up I loved listening to the song. As I grew I realized that it has a deeper meaning.
I'm almost 30; I never listened to this song because I knew how sad it was. My brother took his life back in December, and when this song came on the radio, I finally listened. I miss my brother more than any of these words can convey, and I hope that anyone feeling low or like they cqnt go on anymore sees this and realizes that they're more loved than their perception lets on.
This song hit me right where it hurts 💔 I split up with my girl of 10 years and I just haven't been the same since I'm still in love with her but I can't have her it's so painful on top of depression and anxiety and PTSD.
I'm a broken man, if your with the people you love, don't ever take them for granted, I found out the hard way 😢
Cheer up pal. I've been there and it hurts like hell but I guarantee you it'll pass
@@yelnickmcwawa5858 thanks pal i really appreciate your kind words, it's been a hell of a storm but im coming out of the other side of it now, i still have my bad days but Im still standing tall, no matter what happens. Much love ❤️
This is one of my most motivational songs. We always get stuck looking back that we forget what's to come tomorrow.
The drums in this song is pure mastery 🥁
Beautiful song.. very powerful in its own simple way !
Everyone feels like shit, nobody is completely okay, nothing really matters at the end, gotta get used to it. Stay strong my brothers.
Dark Funeral's song called My Funeral is what this reminds me of, just on a much darker tone.
You laughed the loudest who’d have known... I miss you sister
Everyone who suffers from depression \ suicide or just ever feels alone just know i love you, we love you
spread the love
Thank you
Never thought I would be tearing up to a blink 182 song at 2:30am
I cry every time when he says "Please tell mom this is not her fault" I looked down a barrel of a gun and a voice said right as I was about to do it "What will your mother do without you" I'm crying typing this because that shit hits home big time.
hang in there bud.
Damn song hits hard never thought a rock song can be so high tempo and be so sentimental at the same time and be a good song
This song has been stuck in my head for the past hour
Such a Strong and Powerful song and I must add that it is very beautiful
I ain’t going to lie this song and blink 182 saved my life!!!
Praise God!
@juliecampos9842 thank you I still struggle but this song always gives me hope!!
Y'all know this song was created for a fan of blink that committed suicide, hens the title "Adam's song." It is a song of suicide awareness but also a tribute to their fan who said the band kept him going through hard times prior to his death.
Song really hits different when you are surrounded by “friends” and you realize you are truly alone.
The adult life ...its so depressing
I'm sad now.
me too
dirty dan me three !
Same
Man my parents used to play this a lot and I jammed to it as a little kid, but never knew what the lyrics meant. Coming back 10 years later at 16 damn these lyrics are dark. Still a great song
