Blink-182 are punching up with their new single “Quarantine.”
A fast paced, skate-punk inspired rock track, “Quarantine” is the latest single by iconic pop-punk band Blink-182, and was released this morning.
A short, 2 minute track, “Quarantine” is the band’s first release since December’s “Not Another Christmas Song,” and boy is it a doozy.
With classic fast paced, punk influenced instrumentals, Travis Barker’s incredible drumming, coupled with vocalist Mark Hoppus’ unique voice and Matt Skiba’s recognizable harmonies, the song is both a quintessential Blink track and nothing like the band has released before. It is punchy, raw, and overall- a perfect way to bust out some pent up quarantine related frustrations.
And while Blink is known for humorous and relatable lyrics, “Quarantine” takes the cake for on the nose lyricism- full of lines about the incompetence of our country’s leadership, uncertainty about the future, and the overall hatred towards the year that is 2020.
You can stream the song now, and be sure to check out the full lyrics, listed below.
“Quarantine” Lyrics:
I guess I’m blessed to be so fucking bored
and hiding from this phantom antigen
that wants to send us to the morgue
Quarantine, fuck this disease
I’d rather be on Star Tours or stuck at the DMV
Quarantine, no not for me
I thought that things were fucked up in 2019
Fuck quarantine
Some people hit the bottle, some people hit the books
Some people storm the capitol, some second guess parenthood
It’ll disappear in April, just like a miracle
We don’t need social distance, we don’t need old people
So throw the shop doors open
Save our economy
We don’t need ICU beds or PPE
Quarantine, fuck this disease
I’d rather watch some magic or do press in Germany
Quarantine, no not for me
I thought that things were fucked up in 2019
Fuck quarantine
It’ll disappear in April, just like a miracle
We don’t need social distance, we don’t need old people
So throw the shop doors open
Save our economy
We don’t need ICU beds, we don’t need PPE
