Carousel
Blink 182 · Cheshire Cat
I never felt so alone again
I stop to think at a wishing well
My thoughts send me on a Carousel
Here I am standing on my own
Not a motion from the telephone
I know not a reason why
Solitude's a reason to die
Just you wait and see
A school life is a
It is a woken dream
Aren't you feeling alo-o-o-o-one?
I guess its just another
I guess its just another
I guess its just another night alone
Now as I walk down the street
I need a job just to sleep in sheets
Buying food every once in a while
But not enough to purchase a smile
A tank of gas is a treasure to me
I know now that nothing is free
I talk to you every now and then
I never felt so alone again
Just you wait and see
A school life is a
It is a woken dream
Aren't you feeling alo-o-o-o-one?
I guess its just another
I guess its just another
I guess its just another night alone

The track features the band's characteristic vocal interplay between Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker, delivering a high-energy performance that defines their evolution during this era. While the song retains the band's core identity, it showcases a slightly more polished production style compared to their earlier work. As part of the Cheshire Cat catalogue, it represents a key moment in their discography where they continued to explore pop-punk themes with renewed vigor, solidifying their status as a defining voice of the genre in the late 2000s.
