“Point of View” talks about compassion, and that we have to understand that each of us has their own problems and views. The song is the fifth track on blink-182’s first ever demo, 1993’s Flyswatter. It was later re-recorded for their second and third demos.
[Chorus]
Two different people, two different places
Through a one way window with two different faces
Agreements are not reached, favors are forgotten
The other person's shoes, you've not got in
[Verse]
Stubborn minded enclosed to your own world
Wake up and see someone else's morals
What is wrong to you
Might be true
I guess it's a different point of view to you
You cannot see things that are different to me
And I don't understand why you can't see
The things that I cannot see
[Bridge]
I see what you don't see
I see what you don't see
Turn around and the shadows are all around me
[Chorus]
Two different people, two different places
Through a one way window with two different faces
Agreements are not reached, favors are forgotten
The other person's shoes, you've not got in
Point of View (Flyswatter version) was written by Tom DeLonge & Mark Hoppus & Scott Raynor.
