Stop Draining The Colour Outta My Scene

Not only did I avoid doing homework tonight, but apparently I am about ready to avoid sleep. Or at least procrastinate from sleep. I really don't know why I do it to myself, but it seems to inevitably happen night after night.

As I wait for the kettle to boil (yes, I drink tea) I figured I would hit you with one more song that has really caught my attention from blink-182's "Neighborhoods".
"Kaleidoscope" is a great track that really reminds me of the sound from blink's self-titled album from 2003. One particular reason that I really enjoy "Kaleidoscope" is because Mark Hoppus takes care of the lead vocals on the track. In the past, Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge have typically shared the vocal leads for blink-182. On the band's latest album, they seem to stray from that a bit with DeLonge taking the lead more frequently than Hoppus. Apart from Hoppus singing the lead vocals, I really just find that I relate to the words within the song. I always do my best to have a good listen to the lyrics in a song and as a result "Kaleidoscope" really caught my ear.

Stop banging away on my kaleidoscope.
Stop draining the color out of my scene.
Just play me something I can dance to,
I can dance to anything you wanna sing. 

So lock me up in the studio,
Fill it up with sound and scenarios.
Stop blocking the driveway with your car,
Put the butterfly in the bell jar. 

It's the first time that I'm worried
Of a bad dream of a journey
On the highway through the valley.
It's a long road through the night. 

It's a long road. 

Hear a stranger's voice in the front yard,
Let the hours tick past the deadline.
Get another stamp in your passport,
Wash your breakfast down with some red wine. 

Delete the progress on your game,
Try to fall asleep while your ears ring
From the loudest songs on your mixtape.
I can dance to anything you wanna sing. 

No reason, no action, no silence, no help here.
Nobody came running up by my side. 

It's the first time that I'm worried
Of a bad dream of a journey
On the highway through the valley.
It's a long road through the night. 

It's the first time that I'm worried
Of a bad dream of a journey
On the highway through the valley.
It's a long road through the night. 

It's a long road to get it right. 

It's the first time that I'm worried
Of a bad dream of a journey
On the highway through the valley.
It's a long road through the night. 

It's the first time that I'm worried
Of a bad dream of a journey
On the highway through the valley.
It's a long road through the night. 

It's a long road...
To get it right...
