Violence​​blink-182

Released: November 18, 2003

Songwriter: Travis Barker Tom DeLonge Mark Hoppus

Producer: Jerry Finn

[Verse 1: Tom DeLonge]
Six bottles went down the drain
One hour's a waste of time
I’d ask if you feel the same
Still pushing that chance to try
Your breath in this cool room chill
Long hair that blows side to side
You speak and make time stand still
And each time you walk right on by

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
Like violence you have me
Forever and after
Like violence you kill me
Forever and after

[Verse 2: Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus]
Can’t count all the eyes that stare
Can’t count all the things they see
She kills with no life to spare
Just victims are left to bleed
One drink and the pain goes down
Soft shadows lay by her feet
Lay soft as you slowly drown
Lay still as you fall asleep (fall asleep)

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
Like violence, you have me, forever and after
Like violence, you kill me, forever and after
And after, and after
And after, and after

[Bridge: Tom DeLonge, (Mark Hoppus)]
Like violence you have me, forever and after
Like violence you kill me, like violence you have me
Forever and after, like violence you kill me
Like violence you kill me, like violence
(A certain look in your eyes, when you open your eyes
Who’ll stand by your side? So watch my eyes
Watch 'em turn while you go change, curtains down
When all their skill was cut, and I bled
There were forces of John Jones, I can’t make you happy
It seems all I ever do is try, you could never cut me
Deep enough to leave a scar
So take this gift, it’s something to save)

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
Like violence, you have me, forever and after
Like violence, you kill me, forever and after
Like violence, you have me, forever and after
Like violence, you kill me, forever and after

​​blink-182

blink-182 set off the 1990s storm of pop-punk, blazing a trail in the genre with electrifying riffs and memorable lines—“Fuck a Dog,” anyone? The band has seen some lineup changes over the years, but its core trio (Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus, and Travis Barker) has mostly stood the test of time. As of 2015, DeLonge left the band to pursue other projects.

Founded in 1992 in Poway, California (a suburb in San Diego), DeLonge, Hoppus, and former drummer Scott Raynor formed the band in Raynor’s bedroom, writing songs for their demos, and playing practical jokes along the way. Initially, under the name Blink, the trio was forced to change the name to avoid a lawsuit with the Irish pop-rock group of the same name, so they added “182” at random (fans continue to speculate what “182” means to this day).

After releasing their demo album Buddha, blink-182 released Cheshire Cat in 1995 under Cargo Records. While not a major success at the time, the album generated buzz from the Southern California punk scene and major labels alike. After being signed to MCA Records, the band released Dude Ranch in 1997 with the hit singles “Dammit” and “Josie”.
