Lyrics for Adam's Song as interpreted by piesupreme

Adam's Song Lyrics
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 I didn't think enough
I'm too depressed to go on
You'll be sorry when I'm gone

I never conquered, rarely came
16 just held such better days
Days when I still felt alive
We couldn't wait to get outside
The world was wide, too late to try
The tour was over, We'd survived
I couldnt 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 my friends
You'll never set foot in my room again
You'll close it off, board it up
Remember the time I spilled the cup
Of apple juice in the hall
Please tell mom this is not her fault

I never conquered, rarely came
16 just held such better days
Days when I still felt alive
We couldn't wait to get outside
The world was wide, too late to try
The tour was over, We'd survived
I couldnt wait til I got home
To pass the time in my room alone

I never conquered, rarely came
Tomorrow just holds such better days
Days when I can still feel alive
When I cant wait to get outside
The world is wide, the time goes by
The tour is over, I survived
I can't wait 'til I get home
To pass the time in my room alone

I think ur right. it's not fair to say 'hey blink 182 r all pop music so they're crap'. some songs have good lyrics, some have good beats, good music...just cos its not YOUR thing you shouldnt write it off!! They're a great band, this is a great song that has deeper meanings that some people get and some dont. The poor thing doesnt think he belongs anywhere, life has no meaning to him!!

a poser is just someone trying to be somthing their not, probobly for social gain (ie. popularity), while not really careing what the community/genere/scene is all about, thus potentialy destroying it.

This song is about teenage suicide. Working on a few teenage advice websites, I can see how these words would ring true through teenage depression. It gives people to latch onto and its really sad.

How is this a "poser song"?? Is it a poser song because he didnt really kill himself?? Well I don't think I would kill myself just so a song I wrote wouldn't be labeled as a "poser song"........

this song is probably blink's best...only equaled by stay together 4 tha kids. Although it is supposed to be an ant-suicide songit is very depressing and several people have commited suicid while listening to it. But it does have a good rhythm and good lyrics so it is overrall a good song.

I was trying to figure out why we have our downs. What do we get from them? Maybe they are reactions to our ups. I don't know, but now, I do know that remembering our ups makes our downs quickly fade. Listening to this song helps me to define that hope. It seems very sad, but don't miss the message.

It's not that sad. I think it's more the tune of it that puts a gloomy touch to it. Yeah of course suicide is a horrible horrible thing, I know cuz um yeah, but he doesn't kill himself in the end. Its like saying that he thinks that he can overcome his depression and make it though life.
Peace-outie.

Ok, I got a pretty good meaning, but i got to write it up to pass in for a literature project, so i need a really good one, Main points: when he was young he was happy, and couldnt wait to get out on his own, but when he did he found it was hard, hes on tour, doesnt want to live anymore, feels when hes gone everyone will eventually forget about him, blah blah....Give me a good meaning! PLEASE!

i hate people who say this is a song that is for sad moments... wtf, this song is about being happy damnit, this song is to overcome your deppression, and thoes people who commited suicide while listening to this song.. well they musta have tuned to a different station or prolly the static was annoying... as i said this song is to not be deppressed, or maby some people cant overcome their deppression (like me), but anyways kick ass song, and for all you thing that blink is going pop by going on TRL, then your the ones who are pop, i mean how would yo uknow if you dident watch the show... uhh... IDIOTS!!!

why the hell do all you fagets think that it is the parents faults when a teen kills themselves. Everyone is responsible for their own lives. People control their own destiny. If anyone sits in their room depressed then I laugh at their stupid asses. Make your own life. Don't depend on anyone else to make your life good. By the way why are people trying to put labels on bands. Label are so rediculous. Let Blink be who they want to be. If you dont like them then dont listen to them.

not that i'm saying that it was blink's fault for the kid's death but......
depression is NOT a choice. "trust in him", that is one of the most callous, heartless things i have ever heard. depression is caused by chemical imbalances in the brain, not moping and self-pity. don't talk about it unless you know.
oh, and for the record: blink blows. fuckin posers.
