Paralyzed

Tom DeLonge has said this song is something for the early blink-182 fans. Asked by MTV if he feels like there's a lot of crossover between his two fan bases, the Angels and blink vocalist replied: "There is little crossover of course, but they're pretty different audiences. I think 20 percent of the audience is crossover, the rest is pretty radically different. Only because Angels has spent so much time trying to be, pardon the pun, a little bit more dreamers. Trying to do things more artistically, a little more esoteric, and giving people the ability to jump in and digest versus the immediacy of Blink." "Blink was always about 'Turn it on. Turn it up loud. Remember when you were a kid and wanted to break something.' Both of those are very strong parts of me," he added. "One represents me as a youth full of angst, the other is a quest to find out what this is all about. The audiences tend to be parted like the Nile."
