I kinda love the way you hate me
You only call me ’cause I’m crazy
I hate the wait ’cause you made me
Your frozen breath in the air
All your words you never meant them, no
All my sins you can’t forgive them
There isn’t god in our religion
It’s like he’s not even there
Broken and pathetic, maybe it’s genetic
I’m a landline, not a lifeline (Cut me off)
Call me overrated, I should be sedated
I’m a landline, not a lifeline
Cut me off
You got me feeling so pathetic
Like I don’t go with your aesthetic
Don’t know how many times I’ve said this
I think you’re better alone (I think you’re better alone)
I swear to God you only love me when I’m leaving
And when you tell me that you love me I believe it
I think I’m in too deep
You got me off my face again
Broken and pathetic, maybe it’s genetic
I’m a landline, not a lifeline (Cut me off)
Call me overrated, I should be sedated
I’m a landline, not a lifeline
Cut me off
Cut me off
Barely holding on
Why don’t you cut me off
Barely holding on
Need you to cut me off
Told you this was wrong
Can’t you see I’m gone
Barely holding on
Need you to cut me off!
Broken and pathetic, maybe it’s genetic
I’m a landline, not a lifeline (Cut me off)
Call me overrated, I should be sedated
I’m a landline, not a lifeline
Cut me off
Cut me off
Exploring the Emotional Chaos of “CUT ME OFF”
Blink-182’s “CUT ME OFF” dives deep into the turmoil of a fractured relationship, where love and resentment constantly collide. The lyrics paint a picture of emotional dependency, with lines that reflect self-doubt and vulnerability. The repeated motif of being a “landline, not a lifeline” suggests a feeling of obsolescence and disconnection, highlighting the struggle to stay relevant in someone’s life. The plea to be “cut off” reveals a desire for release from a toxic cycle, underscoring the pain of holding on when letting go might be healthier. Through raw confessions and self-deprecating humor, the song captures the band’s signature blend of angst and melody, resonating with anyone who’s ever felt stuck in a love-hate loop.
