Should I go back?

Song: Asthenia
Artist: Blink 182

Last night it came as a picture
With a good reason, a warning sign
This place is void of all passion
If you can imagine it's easy if you try
Believe me I failed this effort
I wrote a reminder this wasn't a vision
This time where are you Houston
Is somebody out there will somebody listen

Should I go back should I go back should I
I feel alone and tired
Should I go back should I go back should I
I hope I won't forget you

My head is made up of memories
Most of them useless delusions
This room is bored of rehearsal
And sick of the boundaries
I miss you so much

Should I go back should I go back should I
I feel alone and tired
Should I go back should I go back should I
This time I don't want to
Should I go back should I go back should I
I feel alone and tired
Should I go back should I go back should I
I hope I won't forget you



Meaning of the song by the writter
Tom Delonge (Blink 182 guitarist, vocalist): "This song is about one thing only, an astronaut sitting in a space capsule about the size of a car, floating above the earth. He's contemplating if even coming back or not will make a difference on such a negative place. A song about the loss of hope. A term was coined for the breakdown of life in space and it is called Asthenia, the name of the track. At the beginning of the song are actual NASA transmissions."

The lyrics there is pretty imaginative, and yet somewhat meaningful. Its about what the world has become today and it isn't really somewhere we could call home, that it doesn't makes any difference if we stayed here or not. But thats just the direct implication from the lyrics. The implication is pretty wide. One way I'd like to see it as is that sometimes in life, there are things that we know is bad, but we still had to do it coz if we don't we're still at lost in the other way around. And oh, it reminds me of loneliness as well.
