It's alright to tell me what you think about me
I won't try to argue or hold it against you
I know that you're leaving you must have your reasons
The season is calling and your pictures are falling down
The steps that I retrace the sad look on your face
The timing and structure did you hear he fucked her?
A day late a buck short I'm writing the report
On losing and failing when I move I'm flailing now
And it's happened once again
I'll turn to a friend
Someone that understands
Sees through the master plan
But everybody's gone
And I've been here for too long
To face this on my own
Well I guess this is growing up
Well I guess this is growing up
And maybe I'll see you at a movie sneak preview
You'll show up and walk by on the arm of that guy
And I'll smile and you'll wave we'll pretend it's okay
The charade it won't last when he's gone I won't come back
And it'll happen once again
You'll turn to a friend
Someone that understands
And sees through the master plan
But everybody's gone
And you've been there for too long
To face this on your own
Well I guess this is growing up
Well, I guess this is growing up [Repeats]
I won't try to argue or hold it against you
I know that you're leaving you must have your reasons
The season is calling and your pictures are falling down
The steps that I retrace the sad look on your face
The timing and structure did you hear he fucked her?
A day late a buck short I'm writing the report
On losing and failing when I move I'm flailing now
And it's happened once again
I'll turn to a friend
Someone that understands
Sees through the master plan
But everybody's gone
And I've been here for too long
To face this on my own
Well I guess this is growing up
Well I guess this is growing up
And maybe I'll see you at a movie sneak preview
You'll show up and walk by on the arm of that guy
And I'll smile and you'll wave we'll pretend it's okay
The charade it won't last when he's gone I won't come back
And it'll happen once again
You'll turn to a friend
Someone that understands
And sees through the master plan
But everybody's gone
And you've been there for too long
To face this on your own
Well I guess this is growing up
Well, I guess this is growing up [Repeats]

I've only seen one actual legit attempt to explain this song and I didn't really see it the same way so here goes my attempt ^.^
"It's alright to tell me what you think about me
I won't try to argue or hold it against you
I know that you're leaving you must have your reasons"
-She is breaking up with him and he is just saying he isn't going to fight or argue over it
"The season is calling and your pictures are falling down"
-usually when people date they have pics of bf/gf in locker,cell or somewhere and he is just saying that he is trying to moving on after break up.
"The steps that I retrace the sad look on your face
The timing and structure did you hear he ****ed her?
A day late a buck short I'm writing the report
On losing and failing when I move I'm flailing now"
-he is just thinking on what all happened leading to the break up
"And it's happened once again
I'll turn to a friend
Someone that understands
Sees through the master plan"
-he is turning to a close friend for support cause he misses her
"But everybody's gone
And I've been here for too long
To face this on my own
Well I guess this is growing up
Well I guess this is growing up"
-he realizes he just has to move on and stop crying over her
"And maybe I'll see you at a movie sneak preview
You'll show up and walk by on the arm of that guy
And I'll smile and you'll wave we'll pretend it's okay
The charade it won't last when he's gone I won't come back"
-he is imagining what will happen when they see each other again. They will act like nothing ever happen and she is just putting on an act that she is happy with the guy she left the main guy for. But when her bf leaves her she comes crawling back to main guy.
"And it'll happen once again
You'll turn to a friend
Someone that understands
And sees through the master plan
But everybody's gone
And you've been there for too long
To face this on your own
Well I guess this is growing up"
-she'll try and turn to a friend but she doesnt really have anyone anymore sso she'll just have to get over it by herself
Just my thought on the song meaning(:
JUST BECAUSE A BAND CHANGES ITS SOUND, DOESN'T MAKE THEM SELLOUTS. JUST BECAUSE A BAND MAKES MONEY, IT DOESN'T MAKE THEM SELLOUTS. IF A BAND IS FAMOUS, THEY ARE NOT SELLOUTS.
All of you who are calling blink sellouts because they aren't the immature punks they were in '94, need to grow up. While I'm a die hard blink fan, I will admit they sold out the second they announced Neighborhoods.
Bands change their sound all the time, but that doesn't make them sellouts, it just means they want to try new things.
I think blink just did what Rush does every few years, and changed their sound because they liked it, and wanted to try something new. While they stayed close to their basic genre, the sound of their music got more a 00's alternative feel to it. Which is ok, because they like it.
Look at AVA. Tom took the sound that blink had been acquiring over the years, and went all out with it until he got a completely different genre. Did he sell out with AVA? No.
Also... If making money makes a band a sellout, then every band in existance, that is played on the radio, are all sellouts.
Back in the good old days, blink just liked playing their music. All the ads, apparel, posters etc. was all from the label (Who only care about music)
Also, if a band replaces someone, that doesn't make them sellouts. If Scott was an ass with a drinking problem, should Tom and Mark have to suffer for it? If someone wants to leave the band, but everyone else wants to keep playing... Should the rest of the band suffer by continuing on with one less member? Or just find someone to replace them?
Again with AVA... When Ryan left, Matt took his place. When Atom Willard left, Tom, David, and Matt got someone new. While I'm not sure what happened with Ryan, I know Atom left on good terms, and even helped them finish L)VE.
What makes blink sellouts, is them getting back together when they don't like each other. (Which I'm not sure about anymore, because they've given evidence that they're back on good terms in their side projects)
Ok, now that I have explained this, I shall end my rant.
To me this is about a guy, who got rejected asking a girl to be his girlfriend.
1st-Verse: He's saying it's alright to tell him what she thinks about him asking her. He won't argue on why she rejected him. He knows her reasons for rejecting him, but now his thoughts of her are falling down.
2nd Verse- I agree with jssantos. He's looking back on her, asking, did i do something for her to reject me? Maybe someone told her a rumor about me.
Chorus- he's turning to support, but now he's on his own. He thinks this is part of growing up. The second chorus is the same: the girl turning to support, seeing whether he hurt his feelings, etc.
3rd Chorus- when they run into each other at the movies, she's with another guy. They wave and smile, and he pretends its all good, same with her. But really, he's still sore over rejecting; she's sore over rejecting. He's saying: he won't last as her bf, but if he leaves, he won't ask her again.
21 pages of ppl bitching that blink 182 are sell outs, thank you!
fuckin awesome song
