Lyrics:
I never thought I'd die alone
I laughed the loudest who'd have known?
I traced the cord back to the wall
No wonder it was never plugged in at all
I took my time, I hurried up
The choice was mine I didn't think enough
I'm too depressed to go on
You'll be sorry when I'm gone
[Chorus:]
I never conquered, rarely came
16 just held such better days
Days when I still felt alive
We couldn't wait to get outside
The world was wide, too late to try
The tour was over we'd survived
I couldn't wait till I got home
To pass the time in my room alone
I never thought I'd die alone
Another six months I'll be unknown
Give all my things to all my friends
You'll never step foot in my room again
You'll close it off, board it up
Remember the time that I spilled the cup
Of apple juice in the hall
Please tell mom this is not her fault
[Chorus:]
I never conquered, rarely came
16 just held such better days
Days when I still felt alive
We couldn't wait to get outside
The world was wide, too late to try
The tour was over we'd survived
I couldn't wait till I got home
To pass the time in my room alone
I never conquered, rarely came
Tomorrow holds such better days
Days when I can still feel alive
When I can't wait to get outside
The world is wide, the time goes by
The tour is over, I've survived
I can't wait till I get home
To pass the time in my room alone
Summary:
Blink-182 is an American rock band that was formed in San Diego, California in 1992. Just 7 years after they formed, in 1999, “Adam’s Song” was released. The story behind the song was a letter that a kid wrote to his parents before committing suicide. The band received it in an email and decided to write this slow, sad song. Guitarist Tom DeLonge says, “It came out sadder than we ever thought it would, which is good. Any song that moves you is good. Some people listen to it and go 'Wow, that's a real bum-out of a song.' But it's one of those things, a story of a kid not being happy in his life, crossed with us being really lonely on tour.” But, the end of the song sends the message that things will get better. At the beginning of the song, the lyrics say, “I laughed the loudest who’d have known?” People with depression usually put on a happy face around others so no one gets suspicious. So, if you laugh the loudest, people think you’re the happiest, but in reality, you’re the saddest. The next two lines after that, “I trace the cord back to the wall. No wonder, it was never plugged in at all”, is referring to a near- death experience one of the members had. Back when the band practiced in a garage, an amp was in a puddle of water, and if it was plugged in it would have killed him. The last line of that stanza says, “im too depressed to go on, you’ll be sorry when I’m gone”. A person that tries to commit suicide thinks that they’ll get the attention they deserve when they’re dead. One of the last lines in the song says, “Tomorrow holds such better days”, and that single line, is what has gotten so many people through their bad days.

Lyrics:
Full of despair inside a darkness
Self conscious and scared, held prisoner of war
Running out of air, buried in a sadness
Want a way out of this paralyzing world
And the sound of the cries when a family's loved one dies
It echoes through a vacant room where a young soul still resides
When the night is cold and you feel like no-one knows
what it's like to be the only one buried in this hole
You can make it to the sunrise.
(Woah. Woah. Woah)
You can make it to the sunrise.
(Woah. Woah. Woah.)
Searching for a way to escape the madness
A dire need for change as we fight for better days
The hurt and the pain cut deep like a razor blade
Holding in a cry for love, abandoned and afraid
When the night is cold and you feel like no-one knows
what it's like to be the only one buried in this hole
You can make it to the sunrise
(Woah. Woah. Woah)
You can make it to the sunrise
(Woah. Woah. Woah.)
I won't go to my grave until a difference is made
I won't go to my grave until a difference is made
(Until a difference is made)
When the night is cold and you feel like no-one knows
what it's like to be the only one buried in this hole
You can make it to the sunrise
(Woah. Woah. Woah)
You can make it to the sunrise
(Woah. Woah. Woah.)
I won't go to my grave until a difference is made
(Until a difference is made)
Until a difference is made
(From time to time, there arise among human beings,
people, who seem to exude love, as naturally as the sun gives out heat.)
Full of despair inside a darkness
Self conscious and scared, held prisoner of war
Running out of air, buried in a sadness
Want a way out of this paralyzing world
And the sound of the cries when a family's loved one dies
It echoes through a vacant room where a young soul still resides
When the night is cold and you feel like no-one knows
what it's like to be the only one buried in this hole
You can make it to the sunrise.
(Woah. Woah. Woah)
You can make it to the sunrise.
(Woah. Woah. Woah.)
Searching for a way to escape the madness
A dire need for change as we fight for better days
The hurt and the pain cut deep like a razor blade
Holding in a cry for love, abandoned and afraid
When the night is cold and you feel like no-one knows
what it's like to be the only one buried in this hole
You can make it to the sunrise
(Woah. Woah. Woah)
You can make it to the sunrise
(Woah. Woah. Woah.)
I won't go to my grave until a difference is made
I won't go to my grave until a difference is made
(Until a difference is made)
When the night is cold and you feel like no-one knows
what it's like to be the only one buried in this hole
You can make it to the sunrise
(Woah. Woah. Woah)

Summary:
Our Last Night is an American post-hardcore band that was formed in 2004 by two brothers, Trevor and Matthew Wentworth. Their song “Sunrise” was released on their album Oak Island in 2014. The band says a lot of the lyrics for sunrise were based on a documentary called “Bully”. The song “Sunrise” isn’t a song that’s based solely on depression. It’s more of a song of hope for the people that suffer from depression, and turn to music as their outlet. The first few lines of the song say, “Full of despair inside a darkness, Self-conscious and scared, held prisoner of war, Running out of air, buried in a sadness, Want a way out of this paralyzing world”, are describing a person suffering from depression. Depression makes you feel like you’re stuck inside of a cloud and you can’t get out. It also makes you feel very sad. And, when it says “want a way out of this paralyzing world”, it’s referring to committing suicide because the reality is just too much to handle. The chorus goes, “When the night is cold and you feel like no-one knows, what it's like to be the only one buried in this hole, You can make it to the sunrise. (Woah. Woah. Woah), You can make it to the sunrise, (Woah. Woah. Woah.)” The chorus is saying that even when you feel like you’re all alone, you’re not. People still care and always will. The night is the worst part of depression, but they’re saying that you can make it through the darkness. The very last line of the song isn’t so much sung as it is said. “From time to time, there arise among human beings, people, who seem to exude love, as naturally as the sun gives out heat” Which means that people, usually with depression, are loved. But, they don’t really notice it because the people around them don’t show it as much as they should.
