Music video by blink-182 performing Adam's Song. (C) 1999 Geffen Records - Hudba
"please tell mom this is not her fault" that shit fucking hurts my soul
+MrTurdinater Tell me about it.
+MrTurdinater always the line that hits the hardest and the only reason a 37 old burly dude like myself loves this song. Has a lot of meaning to me.
When I was at my lowest and wanted to commit suicide that lyric always played in my head because I knew if I did it my mom would blame herself when in reality it wasn't her fault
+Brandon Maddox i completely understand. that's some deep shit
the same part gets me every time
"I think the saddest people always try their hardest to make others happy, because they know what its like to feel absolutely worthless and don't want anyone else to feel that way."- Robin Williams
A beautiful quote...
it's insane. it's a sad world overall for nice people
That man died to soon God rest his soul.
Oh man so true....
Same.
24 years ago this song saved my life. - A father of three kids watching his oldest son get ready to go to college. Thanks guys.
20 years.
@@fadustrouble heck yeah
thx for sticking around :)
So glad you stuck around ❤

Nirvana: Take your time, hurry up, 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
wow i never saw the resemblance. thanks!
+amariah Valenzuela no problem :)
I was actually just thinking about this a few weeks ago
How old are you? lol
i thought about this when someone posted about it on instagram a while ago. and i didnt fully understand it till i listened to both songs again (i haven't listened to blink or nirvana in a long time) and then it hit in the most deeply philosophical way ever. To he point where I'm surprised this wasn't named "Kurt's Song"
“Please tell Mom this is not her fault”
Hits me every time
The most powerful line in this. Some of the songs from these guys are genius.
Yeah that hit me too. Because they’re right. It’s not my moms fault. It’s my dads.
Damn right it hits hard cos mums think that they are the reason to blame when they aren't no parent should ever have to bury their kids
For real; mothers are 50/50 Saviors or Kryptonite....
well it's not her fault, it's my own
You’re still here. You’re surviving. Stay strong.
i dont know. i think im just living in an echo of who i was.
"16 held such better days. Days when I could still feel alive"
HIts me straight in the feels every single fucking time.
I miss being 16 man.
i feel this. im going through an ugly divorce that i dont want any part of, losing most of what i worked for all my life and probably losing my son except a few days a month. what i would do to go back.
"Please tell mom this is not her fault"
I don't know exactly how many times this line kept me from ending it all
I think the same 😢
I'm glad you're still here
Same for me😢
I started to have suicidal thoughts a few years ago, but the pain it would have caused my mother kept me going. She's since passed away, but it's ok. I'm in a much better place now thanks to antidepressants.
stay afloat buddy. Keep being strong. I'm sending you a virtual hug.
“Please tell mom this is not her fault”
That line alone has kept me alive more than any other singular lyric
See also 'Let It Happen' by Tame Impala:
'But if I never come back,
Tell my mother I'm sorry'
Listening to that when I was actively suicidal had made that song anchored into me in ways I can't describe.
I'm a mum , this line makes me cry
We’re glad you’re still around
Same. This song saved my life more then once
My mom's eyes after waking up in the hospital after my attempt made me never want to do it again. Now she's gone & I'm a mom.
“I can’t wait ‘til I get home to pass the time in my room alone.” That line maybe one of the saddest lines in a song.
That's me all their time if you read my comment from today
That line was not supposed to be sad.
dab it’s my life
that used to be what I always said when I was in school but now I hate being alone and thats all I get for years
@@turtolelegs6831 these kids dont understand, but they will soon enough.
People don't fake depression, they fake being okay.
When u are young, u dont understand a few things on that song, but now....make so much sense then...
Blink-182 saved lives with this song.
LMFAO
whats funny about that?
+Thomas Tintle funny how?
The Nameless Maggot JTNugget said LMFAO and so i was asking what he found funny
100%
True story, 3 years ago I parked in a Wal-Mart parking lot at midnight with a gun in my hand. I had every intention of ending it. Even put plastic trash bags on the seats in the car so my family wouldn't have to deal with the mess, and could sell it afterwards, Wrote a note, and left it on my kitchen table. At that point I had been been home for about 7 years since my last deployment, and wanted it to just be over. For some reason I checked my Facebook memories right after midnight, maybe I was subconsciously buying some more time, but it saved my life. I saw a memory of me holding my newborn nephew, who was born 2 days before I got back home from Afghanistan. A core memory for me. I loved that kid more than anything. I immediately thought about how my brother would have to tell my nephew that his Uncle Nick Nick wouldn't be there for him anymore, The thought of the hurt and confusion that this 7 year old would face knowing that he wasn't enough for his uncle to stick around for hurt me more than any of the worldly things that had got me to that position. I cried for hours, started the car and drove home. 3 years later, I am a college graduate, have a girlfriend and 2 dogs that I love, and my best friend is a 10 year old boy who might never know that him just being alive saved his uncle's life in a dark parking lot one night.
❤❤
Thank you for sharing your experience. It gives hope to others who might be feeling hopeless.
Absolutely amazing story my guy. I'm genuinely so happy to hear how things turned our for you :) I hope your future only gets brighter brother
❤
Oh sweet love..
Hi you. The first time I listened to this song I was a kid in the middle school. Now I'm an adult and I can tell you: stay strong, it DOES get better. You'll never be forever alone. You WILL be loved and be happy. Don't give up
You are not always right, trust me child
@@AnglephileSwedenGerman Why not? Things for most people if they do everything right do get better
@@romko219 ya n wats the odds of that child, it's good to look at the future with future rose colored glasses but the reality is life sux so suck it up n no one does everything right - no one pal
@@AnglephileSwedenGerman not everything but as you can see alot of people are happy, even if you arent a billionaire or even a millionaire you can still be happy with what you have, you havent experienced everything so you cant talk, everyones situation is different, maybe you just arent grateful
I like both your opinions. I've been heavily depressed since childhood, been through drug and crime life, been supervisor at work and manager, been married, and divorced all before 40. If I had never been a parent I would hate my life and the whole world would seem redundant and pointless. I am a parent though, and I live to do better for the next generation. I hate the haters and those who don't comprehend the meaning of life and those who live only to destroy. The world sucks only because attention seeking people say such stupid things and then get the attention then that affects everyone else's experience of life. Being a parent makes you a f*ing crazy soldier with purpose if you know what I mean. So I guess life is always how you look at it. Glass is half full or glass is half empty. It's not easy for anyone, obviously those of us who can spend time commenting on sh*t, without doing anything, are in somewhat of a privelidge position to begin with. So, what now
Dude I love how in the last act of this song, the music climbs out of darkness and into hope. The build up and then the slight lyrical change. People say "it's a song about suicide" which I don't think is all the way there. It may be what it's referencing according to Mark who wrote it but I think the song itself, the music specifically, does something quite different. It's a song about _overcoming_ depression, which is a whole different tone. It's not trying to glamorize being depressed or suicidal (like a lot of late 90s/early 00s music culture did) rather, the song concludes in hope and victory over it. It's actually quite beautiful and wonderfully composed.
The line "please tell mom this is not her fault" gets me every time
Mine is; Pass the time in my room alone, gets me every time
the line "I couldnt wait till I get home to pass the time in my room alone" gets me every time.
the line "I laughed the loudest who'd have known" gets my every time.
This whole damn song really just gets me...right in the feels
Katrina Leonard No, this song isn't based off a real person. Chill out. No reason to go at this guy's throat lol.
"Please tell Mom this is not her fault."
That line broke my heart. Someone with suicidal ideations, that line keeps me in check because I love my mom so much and I don't want her to think that she failed. I don't want to pass my pain to her or any other people.
To others, please stay strong.
So much of this.
When she's gone I have no idea what is going to happen. It frightens me, and it's slowly creeping up on me.
@@hermanlombard9814 just get the fuck out of here
Facts brother 💯 keep livin brother do it for me & ill do it for you 😎
We're gonna make momma proud trust me 💯
Be strong bro! I know it may sound very difficult right now, but it will pass. Talk to your friends and family, they`ll help you. Be strong man, I`ve been there as well.
I discovered this song at the age of 51. It's a song with a universal, timeless relevance. No matter what era you were born in, you often feel like your best days are long behind you and that there's little point in carrying on, to the point of feeling suicidal. If you're feeling like this as you're reading this, just know that there are thousands, if not millions of people who have felt the same way that you do now. Life can get better, but if you end it now, you wipe out that possibility. The worst case scenario is not the only possible outcome.
This song is like take a coffee and read a page of a ramdon day in your life.
Thanks for your advice, man. I wish the young ones knew what it took for guys like you to make it this far.
Thanks man. I’m feeling this way currently what you wrote made me cry happy tears.
Im 47 and this song has been on my list of favorite tracks almost 25 years now, you are so spot on, it hits just as hard now as it did then a real timeless piece, stoked you were able to find it and find meaning in it
Thank you…sincerely…I’ll try to hang in there…for my kids. But it’s a thin, easily broken thread, so…i wish myself the best of luck then…
My father Adam took his life on Wednesday and this song almost describes him to a tee . I was looking for songs he loved when I was growing up to play at his funeral and when this came on and I cried . It’s so ironic and painful that he loved this song and blink 182 . RIP Dad . I miss you
I'm terribly sorry for your loss.
Mate. Sorry for your loss.😢
I know nothing will help you getting better over his death. Only time, good memory and music will help.
My condoléances to you and your family.
Sorry for your loss, Death by suicide is tradgic
I’m sorry for your loss. I hope your family is getting through this okay
So sorry for your loss. Losing someone to the disease of depression and sorrow is a true tragedy and many know the toll on those surrounding them. May the memories of him at his brightest remain with you. Peace
“Please tell mom this is not her fault”
This line has kept me alive. I don’t want to hurt the people I love
You and me both, stranger.
I have been ready to go. Sometimes for weeks, months at at a time. I'm not afraid to die.
I am afraid to disappoint my family even more than I already have, and offing yourself does NOT give anyone relief, it just makes their life a living hell.
You are loved, you are needed, and they want you here, happy, and healthy. When I was going through the worst of my depression, I really had myself convinced that my family would be better off without me. Now that I'm a little older and starting to help out more.. I am so glad I held on. Thank you Lil Peep, and Blink182.
My father committed suicide in 2001. I've been going through some rough times. My mom's getting old, the relationship I've wanted for a year is starting to fall apart. I had some dark thoughts and went to visit him just to be reminded how painful all that was to go through. I never ever want to do that to someone.
Exactly buddy. Please. Tell. Mom. This. Is. Not. Her. Fault. That's the line that keeps me going. One, because she has already lost one child. Two, because I couldn't put her through that. Not her, she has loved me with every ounce of her little heart and soul. To break her heart actually breaks mine. Nobody else, just her that can keep me here
This song kept us alive and together
my mom is the reason I haven’t done it too.
Without Blink 182 I wouldn't be here today. Thanks Mark, Tom and Travis/Scott, for saving my life.
actually it was you who chose to save your own life; they might of just influenced you to do the right thing...either way, i bet you have a lot of ppl who are thankful you are here today!!!!
Music can have a bigger impact on someone's life than anything else, but after all it was your decision to keep on living, and man, I'm damn proud of you for choosing life!
Proud of you is an understatement. Life is a beautiful thing, And remember; "We're not tools of the government."
Thanks guys. I sure hope Tom/Mark/Travis/Scott know that their music is saving lives to this day.
Collin Cooper or maybe not
"Please tell mom this is not her fault" - This line always brings me in tears because everytime we meet, she breaks down, cries and asking for forgiveness for choosing to work overseas than staying with me. I don't blame her because she wanted me to have a good life but it always break my fckng heart to see her cry and blaming herself for not always being there for me. Love you mom.
Medic here, well former medic now. I have had 2 suicide calls where this song was left playing on repeat. I find it hard to listen to this song when I’m feeling on top of the world, but when times are hard and sometimes when you feel like you’re not worth shit I will still listen to it.
Damn
Jeez. Thats so deep.
I am so sorry
I start tearing up dude this song evokes emotion
😢
"Please tell mom this is not her fault."
I don't know why, but this is the most saddening line in the song for me.
Same
every time i hear that line i get choked up. i think thats also one of the only times he actually looks at the camera
thats because it is...
YES.
Because some of us don't want to be here anymore but mom is still around and we can contemplate how hard it would it for her. I want to die but I won't do it until my mom is gone.
To everybody listening to this and hurting - life can change for the better for each of us.
I was once on the edge too, and survived somehow.
We are never alone and we can all find someone to love and be loved.
And that's worth living.
I've been having on and off depression for the past few weeks and just came to this song. I don't even remember what caused me to remember it but I just felt like going to this video and watch/listen.
I feel much better now, probably better than I've felt all month. I'm sure I can beat this.
Happy to hear that. I'm sure too. Be strong, friend.
You too.
That opening guitar riff is one of the most nostalgic sounds from my childhood.
I hear ya man ✌️
First riff I ever taught myself on guitar as a kid 😅
Same bruh - takes me right back.
6th grade for me
my best friend committed suicide last year & it’s so hard to cope with. we were so close. i had no idea he was struggling so badly. i guess sometimes people get tired of fighting and you can coax their endurance, but you can never be their endurance. rest in peace luke.
Sorry for your loss man. This song hits me hard because I struggle with depression and think about it all the time lately. It's just something we usually keep to ourselves.
Again, sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss
i can't wait til i get home to pass the time in my room alone
Haru I can't tell if this is suicidal or just referencing the song but I would hope it's just the reference.
the true subtext of that comment is that +haru is going to please himself later ;)
something like that.
Haru Im the kind of guy who's always ready to give an helping hand....
But not this time XD
aha.
Although the song is somewhat sad, I love how they changed up the lyrics slightly in the last chorus to be positive and to say that it will get better.
That was the whole point of it, haha.
well the history of this song is a true story a guy named adam wrote Blink a letter a and shortly after he commited suicide its really quite sad
Victoria Barker indeed
thats what takes the song from mediocre to amazing
no shit hahahaha come on man
This song hits hard. Any age, no judgement. It hurts.
My best friend of 17 years died last night, he always laughed the hardest and was the friendliest and most caring out of all of us. He was the last person to deserve death at 25 years old 💔

I took my time, I hurried up
The choice was mine I didn't think enough
- Blink-182 (1999)
Woah
I'm sure they were devastated by Kurt Cobain's suicide in 1994.
These lyrics, in a song about depression and suicide, pay respect to him.
@@dormanthegr88 Kurt did not kill himself, he was obviously murdered.
@@noneoftheeabove8514 No.
i think nirvana listened to killing joke, specifically the song called eighties :D
"I used to think the worst thing in life is to end up all alone. It's not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel all alone." Robin Williams.
To anyone feeling lonely, or sitting in their room/house by themselves, you're not alone. There are thousands, if not millions of us out there just like, wondering if anyone cares about us anymore.

Jesus is there.
absolutely
jonathan is he really
Daniel this made me cry. I wish I didn't feel so alone. And depressed. But this too shall pass, right?
Benjamin Smith thank you. Every day is a struggle but it's a bigger challenge to stay alive and see what waits for me in the future.
A friend of mine and I loved blink back in middle school and he had seemed to be getting run down by something in his life and one day he told me this was his new favorite blink song and he listens on repeat. I didnt see it at the time and I regret not asking if he was okay.
Looking back, you saved my life with this song. Thank you
Hey I hope you are doing ok, How are you?
I don't know what you're going through or your current situation, believe me, you just need to pull up and hold on tight. You got this. Be here today.

My best friend of 17 years died last night. His brothers name is Adam. This song will forever be for you HT, you'll always be my best friend...
Seeing everyone talk about their problems and attempts makes me wanna talk about 2 of my most memorable attempts to me. The recent one that actually almost killed me as an OD. I took a shit ton of laxatives back in November to kill myself and I OD and woke up in my room. The one that still lives in me was an attempts from 4 years ago when I was listening to this song. I slit my wrists and prayed that I'll just bleed out as this song played on loop. I was so happy that I'm still alive because I actually got in a relationship yesterday. Stay strong everyone, don't let no motherfuckers drag you down
The "tell mom it's not her fault" line hit pretty hard, because it reminded me how my brother wrote "Tell the dogs I love them" in his note. We have 2 dogs and they were the light of his life
I know the feelin'. Stay strong man.
I get it dude. Hits hard, lost my sister to overdose this new years and almost lost her Christmas day, managed to CPR in time that time. It never does go away but it heals
I'm so sorry 🥺
My brother wrote “I’m sorry, it’s nobody’s fault, I love you all”
Yes, what stopped me of jumpìng was thinking about the suffering I was going to cause my mother and my kids... they didn't deserved it... so, in the narrow edge of the window I had to step down for them...
"Please tell Mom this is not her fault." The line that made me stay. Never wanted to hurt my mom. She's the only reason I'm still here.
glad you’re still here
Stay around mate. The ones you love will never understand if you go 🥺
I feel you. I had a similar reaction. Stick around, we all end up in the same place.
Same here 80's girl. Im done with life but im still living longer because of my mom. And she's my best friend now.
@@trevinbarton8398 u dont know him
I loved this song when I was young, now it hurts to listen to because of how much I connect with it. I thought I was miserable when I was 16, all that teenage angst. Now I realise it was the best time of my life
things inevitably change, if you give them enough time they will change for the better as well, have courage internet stranger, wishing you the best
Just turned 40 and think about my teen years of the late 90's everyday. Was living like a king with my best friends.
this hits right in a feel
This was my favorite song when I was in 8th grade. Very depressed and suicidal, so it checked out. But I'm over a decade past that now. Life isn't perfect but it has gotten so much better. I'm not that person anymore. Your best days are yet to come, my friend
I just commented something almost identical to this...I agree 100%!
"16 just held such better days". Ain't that the damn truth.
These guys were the big brothers I never had growing up
same here
This is without a doubt the best song by blink-182
I know right
And I Miss You

This is Adam and Mark’s Song now. I can’t even imagine the pain he went through during the cancer treatment. My hero.
“I can’t wait till I get home to pass the time in my room alone” hurts my soul
rip Justin. Me and my younger friend played this song in elementary school, I was on guitar and he was on drums back when we were skater punks. He got into drugs and gangs, and we started to drift apart, and after 1 silly argument over nothing, we stopped talking for 12 years after being best friends for 3 years. I just found out from a mutual friend he was found murdered in a targeted gang killing. It was confirmed on the local news. Never hold grudges over silly things with the people you love. Life is too short and memories are all we really have at the end of the day. He was my best friend and the nicest happiest most giving guy I've ever met, especially for a young age. Rip bro I love you. Thanks for the memories..
Sorry for your loss.
And such great advice.
your coment are insane+Insane
I had a best friend named Jestin. We were friends for 18 years. He had a similar story, not gangs, but drugs and partying. He was killed in a car accident driving home drunk to see his newborn daughter 8 months ago.
this made me feel harder than the fucking song
Almost exactly the same story with me... ten years went by... RIP Kuvesh - Sorry I wasn't there to listen when you needed - I'm listening now.
The song was inspired by a teen's suicide, but is about the isolation and loneliness that Mark was feeling at the time. Blink-182 were HUGE back in the day, and touring was difficult. So, for Mark breaks between tours were bittersweet: He got to come home from a difficult and tiring tour schedule, but...he had nothing to come home to (hence the line "I couldn't wait til I got home/To pass the time in my room alone").
later, a 17-years-old kid commited suicide to this song.
RIP Greg Barnes
TheDjoury Columbine survivor too. Sad.

A reminder of a friend. I forget the anniversary every year but I don't forget what happened.
Please tell mom this is not her fault damn that hits hard as hell bro
Growing up in the 2000's was just too perfect. A perfect balance between technology and real life things. No social medias, but cool ass uncensored internet. Genuine people, I miss those days so badly. Just gotta be happy that it happened.
Dude, I was just thinking the same thing. Social-media is corrupting us. We can't even relish in our moments because the pull of clout.
and especially when you're a kid, you live off of memories. Trying to figure out what's "cool" and what's bad.
I miss the 2000's, life was so much better back then. I was 7 - 17 so they were the most important years of my life.
the uncensored internet is a very underrated piece of this comment.
"Please tell mom this is not her fault" is probably the saddest line from any song I've heard.
this was the one line that hits the hardest of any song imo. thank you for this comment
Yeah it's pretty f'd up. Bury me in analog by mischeif brew is like that too.
Yeah man :')
@mojo master
I think you need to look at the whole verse to get the idea of what that line is about.
Up until the apple juice mention the implication is that the person is starting to isolating and possibly will resort to suicide. The apple juice is not of great importance, is rather just another minor mistake him/her did. So, when he say that Mom wasn't at fault for that, it's more like he/she is referring to the outcome of his life.
The song was made after Blink 182 received a letter from the parents of a boy who killed himself because he suffered bullying in school and thought his life was of no importance to anyone.
I hope that was of help.
I couldn't even if I wanted to.. she got to the act suicide before I could. Haha.
One of the best songs ever written.
This. I have listened all kinds of music since I was 5 (I'm 20 now) and always come back to blink and especially this song.
“Please tell mom this is not her fault”
This is the one lyric that makes me cry in this song, that one sentence makes you think more about how it will effect others negatively differently than anything can effect them.
That 2nd verse brings a tear every time.
A friend of mine unalived herself two days ago. A husband, beautiful home, and two young sons. The laughed the loudest was so true for her. Had I known… I would’ve been there 💯. I’m 38, and she was 37. I’m going to miss her.
I'm so sorry for your loss.. it must've been really hard for you and your and her family 🕊️🙏❤️

“I think the saddest people always try their hardest to make people happy. Because they know what it’s like to feel absolutely worthless and they don’t want anybody else to feel like that.”- Robin Williams
My boyfriends friend was like that always seemed happy then on christmas eve he killed himself. I have to go to the funeral when I to am depressed. I dont even know the guy and somehow it just really hurts a lot. I go between why could no one save him to just getting really angry then I have to deal with all my pain. I'm not ready for this shit.
Sorry to hear that. Stay strong. I know it is hard. Thank you for sharing that. It took a lot to share.🎧❤️🎯
Agreed. Makes me think of how tragic many comedians lives are. All the while they put on a smile and make us laugh they are crying and hurting on the inside. Jim Carrey, Robin Williams, Richard Pryor, Chris Farley, Dave Chapelle, Martin Lawrence.
I liked Robin Williams
People always ask why I tip so much (35% to waiters cab drivers, barbers etc). Robin Williams pretty much summed it up. Long story short I had my business demolished by Hezbollah (whom American Leftists support over Israel and Sunni Muslims), was evicted from my home and forced to flee to NYC where I was homeless for 5 years.
For many years this song made me realize that it’s okay to not be okay. Thank you Blink-182.
Amen brother.
🙂@@TheTalk23
This is so good but you must hear “Winding Road” or “Live Not Survive” by SLT 🎶🎸🤘
Wow, really reminds me of hanging out with my brother as a kid. This Sunday Feb 4 my only friend, from back when we were kids, ended his life. Stuff is hard without you bro, you were my connection to the outside world, helped me when my folks left me behind as a kid, always made sure I was good. And as mad as I wanna be like everyone else, I'm just glad it's done for you now. I know what was up in your head, we were too similar for it to not be in mine hah. But the physical pain, docs calling you a drug seeker when you just wanted to feel ok. Girl dipping w the kid, moving without a word. Losing your job, your place because of 1 stupid mistake. Wanting things to just slow down for 1 second, get some air on those lungs. They all think it's their fault, every one of them. But they were your anchors holding you here. I wish I could've been there for you, just once, like you were always there for me. Goodbye brother, sure the way my life/mind/health is going I'm not too far behind, and we can both be forgotten like the rest of humanity is, in due time. Gotta ante up someday
Love you Chris. Sorry I failed you
RIP Chris.
Don’t ever give up, stick through it. It’ll work out, eventually.
Stay strong, I’m with you dude x
My dude dont give up. Theres people there for you. And just know i care ❤
I love you
abbi fede in Dio e in Gesu'
loro sono al tuo fianco
This song was so controversial when it came out. It was blamed for suicides because people played it when ending their life. It was all over media for a while, much like how Marilyn Manson was used a scapegoat for Columbine.
In reality, it was probably the last comfort people felt before the eternal darkness enveloped them. To blame someone's suicide on a song is to ignore everything that led them up to that decision.
Important comment
Well said
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
Well said.
People like to blame something else to cover their own failures, push their agendas or for control. We saw it with gaming too.
I used to have some damn good friends. I had a girl I liked. I had a loving family. I had hope for the future. Now all of that is gone, but I'm still here, just like the rest of you, waiting. I can't say I honestly believe something good will happen, because I don't. I'm able to delude myself during the day and that makes it easier to lie to the few people I have left, but lying here at three in the morning, I see the truth.
And that's that I'm still here, still surviving and still waiting. I won't stop, ever. I know I don't believe something better will come, but I have to be wrong. I know that too.
Long story short? I'm done 'just' waiting. Good luck everyone, I hope you stick around. There's too few people out there who understand darkness. It makes you kind, and we all need a bit more kindness nowadays.
Goodnight.
I know exactly how you feel,my brother ended it in 09 and the only thing that stops me is the feelings of the few ppl that care I'll leave behind....
+MH3Raiser It might not seem like anybody understands the darkness you are in, but it is something we all go through at some point in life, whether we admit it to anybody or not. You need to make it through the shit to get to a better place in life, if you can do that you will be a stronger person for it. Hang in there because your life is important and you are significant to somebody, you just can't see that right now. Life is going to get better for you if you can make it through this.
+Curtis Bernard my life has "gotten better" with every year that passed pretty much since this song came out, but ive never been happy. i know exactly how the op feels and it reminds me of something i learned when i was younger, which is that people that say taking themselves out of their glory is a weak pathetic move are actually the weak ones because they are too afraid of what comes next & they are too comfortable with their gluttonous lives. being in control of your own life and destiny is something we all possess but dont necessarily utilize. sometimes life seems like its getting better but humans are just naturally good at putting on masks
I know that I don't know you or know the extent of what you're going through but I have immense love for you. You ARE wrong in the sense that you don't believe something better will come because something better will DEFINITELY come. It just hasn't showed up yet. I know that this is easier said than done but I promise you, it will 💜
+Da KAnDyMaNFU It's so true, we do possess the ability to control our own destiny but it usually requires change in your life and when you are depressed that is something that seems impossible. Although it is often what is essential to getting out of depression. If we didn't wear masks people would see who we really are, not who we want them to see. Masks make us less vulnerable.
I’m not crying, we’re crying 🙏🏼
This is so good but you must hear “Winding Road” or “Live Not Survive” by SLT 🎶🎸🤘
The subtle homage to Kurt and Nirvana’s “come as you are with” the line “take your time hurry up the choice is yours” that went over my head as a teenager. This song has layers of thought put into it
I just realized the lyrics "I took my time, I hurried up, the choice was mine I didn't think enough" are a reflection of the lyrics on nirvanas song "Come as you are"
or you saw a comment that said that.
dangerdave McKinney either way they realized, does it matter how he/she made their conclusion?
Nope I actually realized it myself, believe it or not.
Iclickudrop
I thought that, too.
"Remember the time I spilled the cup of apple juice in the hall?" Seems like such a random, throw away line, but it's probably the one that hits the hardest. For anyone that's been through depression and suicidal ideation, those are the trivial things you think about, that eat you alive inside.
That is so insightful, I never thought of it like this. It really is the little things for others that completely tears you apart when you suffer from depression. It is so hard to explain to others that you have an illness and that the feelings you have a very real even though they can't comprehend an injury that isn't visible.
Did Adam take his own life or not guys never found out the answer to that yet
yeah....
He’s talking about spilling apple juice when his mother and father found him easedropping about their divorce
That line it's more of a metaphor
All the best people I knew in life never made it to 40. Listening for them
"It's only when you lose your friends that you realize what you've lost and that you can't get it back"
- Tom Dolezal
And he nailed it. And it's devastating for us mourning. And it doesn't go away, it gets better with time thankfully but it will never be the same again 😢 rip homie i think about it many times a day/week for a long ass minute . 13yrs and im lucky enough to get to meet you in my dreams from time to time. If i think too much about it, someone starts cutting onions every time ❤😊 í wish there were an afterlife so i could correct u about that thing that you said that was wrong but you refused to believe me😂 "mr i have a high iq". As much as I miss my best friend it really grinds my gears that I will never be able to correct you 😂lol about that thing. 😂❤❤❤
"Another six months I'll be unknown....."
That line is so true. Once you've completed the act, the people who treated you like a loser might feel bad for a little while. But pretty soon, they'll move on to other things and you'll be forgotten.
The best revenge is to live on and prove yourself.
Wouldn't care what anyone thinks but myself.
To do such good things that you can't be forgotten, and to only care about those who have your back....
Ive lost so many to suicide still think of them daily
Birthdays and anniversaries of their deaths are hard
Knowing i have a family and life and they will forever be under 21
I think that line is meant for friends of the victim. Reason being, is cause people move on from them. They don't forget, but to say "Another six months and I'll be unknown", is more symbolic and refers to loved ones moving on. Maybe I'm wrong.
Those that really love you will never forget you
I was 13 when this song came out.
Today I'm 33 and I survived.
Thank you Blink, I owe you one.
EDIT: I want to say that I didn't expected for my comment to draw such attention, thank you all for your kind words, It's 2022, I'm almost 36 and I'm still here, be strong everyone.
2023 update: here we are again, alive and kicking 👍
2024 update: despite everything, on the edge of the 38th, I'm still here and I hope you are doing well too.
That guy from Aggretsuko I don’t know you but I’m proud of you
I was 14 and agree with you 100%
31, still surviving
I'm 33, too. It helped back then. I survived, though, sometimes I wonder why.
Me too 💪🏻
The last verse just makes me feel like there's some hope left and it'll get better
Love the Tequila ad before the video started. Nothing cures depression better than alcohol, right? Thanks, CZcams!
I had an endless supply of haters and shit-talkers when I was younger, most were my "friends" and even my own parents. I listened to this song so much, it really spoke to me. I stayed focused and stayed in school. I'm now a doctor and have a good life. This song takes me back to those days but I think of victory and triumph instead of isolation and sadness.
Ralphie Leonard That's such an inspirational story. Thank you so much for sharing. ❤❤
Those haters made you stronger,a badass my friend!!!So be happy they existed
Being a doctor is ok, but i'd be bored shitless doing that shit. and the 8 years of study, lol, no thanks.
Ralphie Leonard Thanks for inspiring us :)
thx for opening my eyes that's some inspirational stuff right there I hole you do well in life
Twenty five years old and I still come back to this song
TheShinbotatron Nothing wrong with that.
+TheShinbotatron Actually fifteen years old... :)
***** oh well okay :D
Actually "Adam's Song" is about a letter that Mark read from a kid before he commited suicide. Then he got the idea for the song.
Tristan Ivie :O really?
If you wanna end your life, remember, you can raise another person up instead. Why end it when you can save one. Just how I see it, doesn't mean it will help everyone. Depression is different for everyone. This song saved my life when I was younger though I did not understand it then.
RIP brother, even though your remains are overseas still. Never forget. They never cared(govt) about you, but at home we cared. Even through the parties and fights. i Understand now we we fought. You had a lot bottled in. See you in heaven.
💙💙💙
01/05/24 - Happy 25th anniversary to the iconic blink-182 album "Enema of the State". Released June 1st 1999!
*passing time in my room alone* >< 35 now lol
what's your age again?
savage comment haha respect
30 now. but I have the love of my life with me
I just noticed something: in Nirvana’s Come as you were, he sings “take your time, hurry up, the choice is yours, don’t be late”, and in this song, blink 182 sings “I took my time, I hurried up, the choice was mine, I didn’t think enough”
Yeah..
Yeah....
That's not an accident :(
Holy shit 👀❤️
yep... that's on purpose unfortunately
Has it really been 25 years? That's a trip
41 years old, and I cry for the ones i lost and never got to get old with.😢 Rip to all that now fly free.
Mark Hoppus just announced that he has cancer. He’s saved so many lives with this song let’s all keep his life in our thoughts😞❤️
🙁
I’m hoping for a speedy recovery. We all owe it to him for making amazing music!!
Rest in Peace Mark 😢
@@SkaYouth He’s not dead
He'll be fine. I won't hear otherwise.
i love this song, but i cry everytime i listen to it
i feel like you :'(
me at the beginning - why am I crying so much man this is sad
me right when 2:04 - * crying buckets * I haven't cried this much since the twenty one pilots self titled album

i still cry when i listen to this.
It’s crazy to see all the stories here saying that this song saved their life. I’m another one. Thanks Blink.
Man I miss being a kid and not knowing the meaning of these songs but just jamming out instead
Finnie Mac was thinking exactly the same good old days 😢
Yeah, I’m fourteen and I’ve been listening to this song my entire life, and I never understood it until a couple years ago.
Wait till ur 17-18
Kinda miss the days when I didn't know the meaning.
Hesn Apple na wait till your 36 thinking damn my teen years was awesome.
One of the most meaningful Blink songs ever, I'm in love with it and I don't think that's ever gonna change
i love you
Um.. ok? xD
Ashley Nicole Truly is they are a very great band, and really like them /:
Can't stop listening to it! Like you said it's meaningful and really moving! Love this song!
Ashley Nicole Beautiful song
About 5 years ago I found this song while looking for meaning and some reflection. It was a time full of turmoil, it was December, I was alone and I wanted to change something in my life. I found this band and to this day this song in particular has given me faith and confidence. Greetings to everyone and I wish you a lot of faith in your own abilities. ❤
Best wishes and hope you have a very merry Christmas :)
my december / linkin park.
december / seven lions.
i listen to all three of these on rotation during leg day whenever i get down during winter. “hurt” yourself in a healthy way with weights. see you in the gym, brother.
Started listening to this when I was in junior high. I’m now 29. I had the privilege to see them perform it this past may. Cried the whole time. This song will forever mean the most to me. It has saved me SO many times.
the tour is over, you've survived...the world is wide, the time goes by....
I know the feeling. Seeing them in June was surreal. It's been 25+ years of blink for me and when i heard this song live, I didn't cry. I felt hope. because I've been saved and I know there is a better day, a brighter day, and the world, it's wide...
To those who constantly come back to this song, please keep smiling, keep breathing, and keep loving.
You too
❤
Thank you I'll try
Thank u ❤🥺
And will keep coming back.
this is one of the saddest songs i know of, and also the one that makes me feel the better when i'm sad
Some say by Sum 41 is a brilliant song quite similar to this one.
i should look it up
Fraktallity - Fifa 15 Content try Crash - Sum41
marie torres Yes totally right
marie torres try fade to black by metallica or tout le monde by megadeth
I grew up with a messed up childhood and went into foster care and the part where it says “tell mom it’s not her fault’’ brings chills 💔
This song is still saving my life
Reading all these comments is like sitting in a big room full of people who don’t know each other, but understand they’re and problems and feelings
It really does, huh? I honestly wish I could meet some of these people. This comment section is full of a lot of people I think I could get along with
Im just going to type this here, and i have 2 little brothers 13 and 8 years old, my father grown weak after my mom passed away 4 years ago, so i kinda short of the breadwinner at my home, after i lost my job recently, im thinking a lot what am i gonna do from now, without a bachelor degree in my country it seems hard to find another job to feed my family, i even wonders sometimes about the times i fucked up my own future, and ashamed of it, im thinking of hanging myself quite sometimes but when i see my little brother i kept thinking awhile, who's gonna take care of them when im gone, so im planning to keep struggling with this life, until my brothers can support themselves,i just cant talk to anyone about this around my friends or my gf, i just kept smiling and pretend it was okay, idk i just feel like writing here, so hope you guys wont get annoyed by this

@@pahrulafrizal7046 This world is pain for most people, and it's not meant to be the place where we finally find peace and happiness. The comforts of the world can make us think we're happy for a while, and distract us from the truth.
The truth is Jesus, no lie.
He will show you why the world is the way it is, and what the point of your life is.
Don't go to a church, don't even start by reading the Bible.
No, just ask Jesus to talk to you, and be willing to hear what He has to say to you.
Talk with Him regularly, trust what He says, and your existence will be transformed.
You will finally have true hope for the future.
Yess well.said tou feel us xoxox
Why do I always expect 'All The Small Things" to immediately start playing at the end.
Lol I agree with you
maybe cause it uses a clip from that song in the beginning?
Whoa, me to!
David Ramirez Im not sure but I think its because on the Enemy Of The State album "All The Small Things" is the next song after "Adams Song" and when listening to the cd there is no pause/break between the 2 song.
You are not the only
Damn. Approaching my mid 30s this song hits home. Remember first hearing this around 13 or 14 years old. Lyrics hit different being a fat, poor laborer. My son the only thing that keep me alive. I love him. I used to be somebody at 16.
Start eating a little better and taking a long walk, if your weight affects you this much. I understand the feeling. It sucks. Hope you find peace my friend.
You're loved
24 years. Still hit like day one. Master piece
My brother Nate died by suicide in 1997. He was only 21. I listened to this song slot when it came out, and tears keep flowing years later every time I hear it. The part about spilling the cup of apple juice in the hall, imagining how he must have gotten in trouble for something so simple, that gets me every time. I think it's at least helped me be a better mom, to be understanding and not get upset over the small things. Life is hard enough. No reason to get mad at your kids so much. If you are a parent reading this, please, please, let your kids know how much you love them and see them as the best people on this Earth. Miss you, Nate. I'm sorry I never knew what you were going through. You always smiled and laughed....
Beautiful comment, ty for this. I'm sure Nate would be so proud of you
Nate is probably smiling about this comment. May you have a great mothers day!
RIP Nate. As another person who lost his brother too soon, my heart breaks for you. Much love!
Nate's heart continues to beat to the rhythm of this drums, his voice as he talks to you has the sound of the singer, he has guitar riffs in his veins. Remembering him while listening to this song makes him immortal. You close your eyes, you see him smiling at you ... You smile too
a bless to the sky to your brother, just as all our loved ones who left
"You'll be sorry when I'm gone."
Oh shit, that line hurts. My brother did exactly that. RIP Simon.
777Jerry I’m so sorry man
You’re not alone buddy. I feel that pain everyday. It’s music like this that was created for us To try just to feel a slight bit better.
@@joelawrence5766 Thank you!
@@brocktilton5214 Well said! Hope things are going well for you now.
I sometime think about suicide but when I hear the line ‘please tell mom this is not her fault’ I sometimes think I kill myself the pain will pass to my mom
This song was a tuning point for Blink 182. It’s a song that addresses teen suicide and the trio showed the world that they could do more than run naked in their music videos.
Its for my friend and family that kept me alive
