no, not really. And I'm sure they heard about the hiatus ..

Ahem. Just noticed this song a little more on the album.

the name says it all I-Heart-Blink!!!! you can listen to them no matter what mood ur in. this is an awesome song about a guy being in space. feeling lonely and debatign whether he really wants to go back to earth.

They meant their music will never die, not that they will never take a break, get bent

Best song on the album...

This song is alright, when this cd first came out i was so excited i bought it right away. i loved it at first, but then it just started making me sad because i really liked there older stuff better!! but this is still a pretty good cd

asthenia is one of my favorite blink 182 songs. i think its great. this song reminds me of being alone because somebody really close to you has left and whenever you hear their name, walk into a room with good memories, or anything like that you remember them.

with this song, i no like it IS about the spaceman thing but it kinda makes me fink of it as like a guy hus jsu gt outta relationship, n she wants him bac, n hes seyin this time i dnt wana, n d bit wich was like i hope i dnt 4gt u, is like he cnt 4gt all d shit she put him thru

except the verses tht dnt relate at all :)

before anyone goes psycho
know what this song means

i can hear this song as a metaphor for a relationship

i always viewed this song as a sequal to obvious
and always was the continuation of this

I've been closed to a very suicidal friend, so every song with depressed lyric like this I look at it as a suicidal song.

My head is made up of memories ( when someone has got nothing with the future, the presence is stuck and full of sadness, all he thinks of this the past, he's dying to go and turn back the time. That's why his head is madel of memories)
Most of them useless delusions( but they aint real at all, they deceive and grieve him to death.)
This room is bored of rehearsal ( he's trapped in his room, like he spend most of the time 24/7 in it so, how could it not be bored of rehearsal??? dont ask why somebody trapped in their rooms!!!)

that's the best lines for me!!!!

This song is awesome, hands down my favourite Blink song pretty much ever. I used it in a short film I had to make for school last year (about the usual teen emo stuff haha, relationships breaking up) because it just fit so perfectly. I can listen to this one over and over and OVER again, it's sheer brilliance both musically and lyrically.

Tom says:

"This song is about one thing only, an astronaut sitting in a space capsule about the size of a car, floating above the earth. He's contemplating if even coming back or not will make a difference on such a negative place. A song about the loss of hope. A term was coined for the breakdown of life in space and it is called Asthenia, the name of the track. At the beginning of the song are actual NASA transmissions."


Marvelous.

A cute girl i like was in my street yesterday, i was very nervouse and only said ''hi'' to her, and walked on..
A few seconds later i thought of this song..
''Should i go back.. i feel alone and tired''
It did something to me and i went back and talked to her with the excuse i forgot something so i 'had' to get back.

Amazing song, thank you Blink !

Looking back on this song now, even though it wasnt meant to, pretty much foreshadows the breakup of blink.


My head is made up of memories
Most of them useless delusions
This room is bored of rehearsal
And sick of the boundaries
I miss you so much

It talks about all the memories hes had with blink. And then it goes to say how when they practice togetehr they all dont have the same passion as they used to. Then he says hes sick of the boundaries, which he obviosuly was cause with angels and airwaves he talks all the time about how he wanted to do something different musically

This is weird but it seems like a song that Tom would write now...I know its not it, but it's ironic...

The whole first paragraph is about Tom making AVA and how his "vision" of AVA failed him and he wants to bring Blink 182 back.

"Should I go back should I go back should I
I feel alone and tired
Should I go back should I go back should I
I hope I won't forget you"

Deciding whether he should go back to Blink...

"My head is made up of memories
Most of them useless delusions
This room is bored of rehearsal
And sick of the boundaries
I miss you so much"

Most appealling paragraph. This room is bored of rehersal (Blink 182). The memories of Blink 182 and how he misses Mark and Travis.

I know its not how it is, it wouldn't make any sense. But it is just how I think of it while I listen to it.

Yeah, I love this song...All of This, I'm Lost Without You, Obvious, and this one are my personal favorites on the album.

Hey did you guys know that this song actually went like this at first:

Should it got caught should it got caught should I
and I feel alone and tired
Should it got caught should it got caught should I
wish that I ever met you

Asthenia is a medical term denoting a feeling of weakness without actual loss of strength

This song describes that well. I like the way that the song is portrayed, how the lyrics flow. Its awesome its obviously about saomeone in space feeling alone and weak. He is debatinmg if he should go back to earth or weather dying in space would be better

From the first time I heard this song I happened to think about someone that talked about his hometown. It seems like he's missing the town and the people he grew up with. But it also seems more logical about the hole spacething.

Asthenia is one of my favourite Blink songs. It also sounds different that a lot of songs by Blink, even on that album. I think they would have made more songs like this had they made another album.

This song is about a guy in space. He doesn't want to go back, but he doesn't want to stay in space. He doesn't want to go back because he knows that the world is a horrible place. But he wants to go back because his love is on earth. In my opinion this is blink's most mature song ever. I still wish they would get back together though. I miss them.

yes i agree, it is about a man in space (you can tell from the extra sounds from the beginning, even b4 the song starts) debating to whether go back or stay.
A great song.

this song awsome and about a dude in space missing his love and wanting to go back for her but doesnt want to go back to earth because of how bad the frekin place is he is tore between going back and not wanting to

Ok well... I have to say I dont agree with any of that in space stuff but whatever it is all about how someone interprets it so whatever. I think the song has a way deeper meaning than anyone thinks it does. Here is what the song means to me. When I had read reviews of the cd Blink182 Self-titled, I read alot about the fact that it was a much "Darker" cd than any other they had done and that it was because there was tension between the band because of Tom not including Mark in boxcar racer. So I think this song was more about Tom struggling internally with himself about whether or not Blink182 was where he was supposed to be in that moment of his life. Here is a breakdown of how I interpret the words

Last night it came as a picture
With a good reason, a warning sign.

I think that he is talking about the tension in the band as a wake up call to him as to whether or not this is where he should be in his life and he starts to truly doubt he is where he wants to be.

This place is void of all passion
If you can imagine it's easy if you try

This to me means that the band is losing the drive that they had for the music they were creating because they all seemed to want to take it in different directions.

Believe me I failed this effort
I wrote a reminder this wasn't a vision

To me this can mean that maybe at first he thought that the tension and the passion they had lost would soon pass and they would be back on track but then realized it was something he had to seriously think about.

This time where are you Houston
Is somebody out there will somebody listen

This part is a bit harder for me to understand but I think that he is relating Houston to outer space but more as "God" like the heavens than actual outer space. I think that he may be wondering if god is listening and may help him with his decision.

Should I go back should I go back should I
I feel alone and tired

To me this has a double meaning. He could either be wondering if he should go back to the band but is not sure if he wants to because he is tired of it, or that whether or not he should go back home to his wife and daughter because he feels alone and is getting tired of being with his band. He may feel he is not spending his time how he should, with his family.

Should I go back should I go back should I
I hope I won't forget you

Again, a double meaning. The first thought that came to mind was that he did not want to "forget" about his wife and daughter and not give them the time they needed. and the second meaning is that he does not want to forget the band and lose friendship with them if he did leave.

My head is made up of memories
Most of them useless delusions

He is looking back on the recent memories with the band and realizing that times just arent how they used to be, that they are not longer fun but just seem to fly by him while he keeps struggling to move forward with the band.

This room is bored of rehearsal
And sick of the boundaries
I miss you so much

These are the lines that made me first realize what this song is really about. He is getting tired of what he is doing because he lost all interest in the type of music that he is making. The boundaries part refers to the musical boundaries that he was trying to break through and and create a new more mature sound for Blink182 that would have a greater impact on people, which later became angels and airwaves music. And then of course, he misses his wife and daughter.

This is my interpretation of the Lyrics which I believe are correct, but it is just my opinion. This is also my favorite blink182 song of all time because I think that it really tells the greatest story of any of the bands songs.

i agree with I heart blink they are the best band ever they have been my favorite band since i have listened to music which is bout 10 years and since they broke up i cant have a favorite band becasue they cant be replaced but this is a good song and it is a bout an astronaut anyways blink 182 is and always will be the best band and they need to get back together tom needs to go back to travis and mark and apologize casue angels and airwaves is not nearly as good as blink 182 and plus 44 is really really good blink 182 favorite band ever and always will be
