Stockholm Syndrome​​blink-182

Released: November 18, 2003

Songwriter: Travis Barker Tom DeLonge Mark Hoppus

Producer: Jerry Finn

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge & (Mark Hoppus)]
This is the first (Thing I remember)
Now it's the last (Thing left on my mind)
Afraid of the dark (Do you hear me whisper?)
An empty heart (Replaced with paranoia)
Where do we go? (Life's temporary)
After we're gone (Like New Year's resolutions)
Why is this hard? (Do you recognize me?)
I know I'm wrong (But I can't help believing)

[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]
I'm so lost, I'm barely here
I wish I could explain myself, but words escape me
It's too late to save me
You're too late, you're too late

[Pre-Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
You're cold with disappointment while I'm drowning in the next room
The last contagious victim of this plague between us
I'm sick with apprehension, I'm crippled from exhaustion
And I dread the moment when you finally come to kill me

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge (Mark Hoppus)]
This is the first (Thing I remember)
Now it's the last (Thing left on my mind)
Afraid of the dark (Do you hear me whisper?)
An empty heart (Replaced with paranoia)
Where do we go? (Life's temporary)
After we're gone (Like New Year's resolutions)
Why is this hard? (Do you recognize me?)
I know I'm wrong (But I can't help believing)

​​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”.
