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
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
Exploring Isolation and Longing in “Asthenia”
“Asthenia” by Blink-182 captures a profound sense of isolation and emotional fatigue. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone caught between worlds, struggling with the urge to return to a familiar place versus moving forward. The recurring question, “Should I go back?”, echoes the inner conflict of nostalgia and the fear of forgetting someone important. The references to memories as “useless delusions” and a room “bored of rehearsal” suggest a restless search for meaning and connection. The song’s vulnerability and raw honesty invite listeners to reflect on their own experiences of doubt and longing.
