There seems to be a lot of confusion, spam, arguing over what this song is about. It's very straight forward. The song is about a teenager who is going through depression and is contemplating suicide. It's not about suicide or overcoming it, but it touches on the thoughts that enters someone's head while contemplating suicide. I'm sure when you've contemplated suicide (and I know you have) you have thought about
How you're going to commit suicide
Feeling like the pain outweighs the resources to cope with the pain
Feeling like there's no way people would expect you to do such a thing
Remembering the good times
Thinking people will forget about you
Who will receive your stuff after you die
Upsetting parents in a petty way
Ensuring it wasn't the fault of your parents
and of course, my personal favorite, overcoming the moment and thinking "tomorrow will hold such better days"
The song touches on all of these thoughts, and that's why it's a powerful and memorable song; we've all thought the thoughts that Blink is singing about. It is a sad song, but one that gives hope as well. I will remember this song for most of my life and whenever I hear it my spine tingles (every time).

Very well-said abuseforapie. I agree with your breakdown of the songs themes. And I also get spine tingles

I think you're right about that. Also, there's a shift in the song from a perceived better past (and grim present view) to a brighter future outlook.

"16 just held such better days" to "Tomorrow holds such better days"

Actually, the song is about one of their fan's suicide. The fan, Adam, sent them a copy of his suicide note. youtube.com/watch

@abuseforapie it is about getting over the thoughts of suicide unless Mark Hoppus lied to the press which I highly doubt is what happened
