Blink-182 Adam's Song

 Adam’s Song will forever be one of my most favorite Blink-182 songs. The lyrics of the song have so many different interpretations, and the song has a different meaning to everyone. The lyrics "I took my time, I hurried up, the choice was mine, I didn't think enough" refers to the Nirvana song "Come As You Are." The line in that song is "Take your time, hurry up, the choice is yours, don't be late." Adam’s Song seems to be a response to Nirvana’s song. Some that I love about music is how people are so directly affected by what they listen to. Adam’s Song is mezzo forte, however, the last verse is forte which adds to the intensity of the song. The lyrics, "I traced the cord back to the wall, no wonder it was never plugged in at all" were inspired when guitarist Tom Delonge was playing in his garage and he and his amp were in a puddle. Luckily, the amp was not plugged in or he could have been electrocuted. The harmony that the band depicts while singing together makes my heart melt. Blink-182 has lyrics that make people think about the deeper meaning and specifically Adam’s Song does that.
