Point Of View
Blink 182 · Buddha
Through a one way window with two different faces
Agreements are not reached, faces are forgotten
The other person's shoes, you've not got in
Stubborn minded enclosed to your own world
Wake up and see someone else's morals
What is wrong to you
Might be true
It's a different point of view to you
You cannot see things that are different to me
And I can't understand why you cannot see
The things that I cannot see
I see what you don't see
I see what you don't see
Turn around and the shadows are all around me
Two different people, two different places
Through a one way window with two different faces
Agreements are not reached, faces are forgotten
The other person's shoes, you've not got in

As part of a discography that has shaped modern alternative rock, this work highlights the band's ability to balance introspective themes with upbeat instrumentation. The track remains a notable song in their catalogue, representing the sonic direction they pursued following their massive commercial success in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
