Angels & Airwaves - Distraction Lyrics

a diamond in the ruff!!!

2020 still 👂

Going to see them in Montreal on January 17th, 2020!!! So excited :))) Great way to soothe the soul for the new year!!

Apparently 33 people don’t have a distraction, hell yeah motherfuckers almost 2020 and still rocking this song. AVA for life 🤘🏻

Semangat

I love this album, it really shows a introduction to Tom’s creativity. Tom wanted to improve as a guitarist and be more creative.

This is the last song “the Tom voice” lives in, his voice changed even through the course of this album compared to his later stuff, but coming out of self titled to this is when it changed..,

If Tom ever tours with Blink someday hoping to hear them play this with mark on back round vocals of distraction

Almost a decade and a half later I realize that "a field with words written in stone" is a graveyard

God this song is amazing as fuck

Underrated asf

👌🏼

2019!!! And still listening to this masterpiece of a song!! Wow.. Tom Delonge sure Is A Genious.. No Doubt!! ✍️👌

Yes, that is the current year. Why would that have anything to do with musical preference. Do you see old timers yammering on about how they are still listening to 60's music in 2019??? Give it a rest. For the love of god. Why is it that you feel the need to know if other people are watching this video in the current year? Maybe there's something else you can do to get the attention you didn't receive as a child. Maybe spread the word about clean free energy technology suppression and watch unacknowledged. before it's censored.

beginning of the song is like Christmas

This is my life

I'll be your distraction 
I'll be your distraction

There's a field nearby 
With words written in stone 
My love will not die 
Please let be known

This place is dead 
It echoes through town 
There isn't one voice 
I haven't heard a sound

The planes flew in 
Their bombs did too 
The city fell flat 
The fires they grew

When the smoke comes in 
It'll color this town 
But I'll still have you 
So I'll say it aloud

I'll be your distraction 
I'll be your distraction

The friendship we made 
Is a waste of our time 
There's no one left here 
To show future that's kind

It's a world of hate 
Gone incredibly wrong 
We cared to late 
We just followed along

And the boys went down 
With their gun in their hand 
Their weapon of choice 
Their knees in the sand

If that field nearby 
Was still there to be used 
Would you ever have known? 
Those words were for you

I'll be your distraction 
I'll be your distraction

I'll be your distraction 
I'll be your distraction 
I'll be your distraction 
I'll be your distraction

I'll be, I'll be yours 
I'll be, I'll be yours 
I'll be, I'll be yours 
I'll be, I'll be yours 
The War

The ocean, is on fire 
The sky turned dark again 
As the boats came in 
And the beaches 
Stretched out with soldiers 
With their arms and guns 
It has just begun

Believe, you want this 
Believe, I want this too

Why won't you tell me that 
It's almost over 
Why must this? 
Tear my head 
Inside out

And the houses 
Laid out like targets 
With the defining sound 
We watched them all go down 
And the families 
Now useless bodies 
They lay still black and blue 
A gift from us to you

Believe, you want this 
Believe, I want this too

Why won't you tell me that 
It's almost over 
Why must this? 
Tear my head 
Inside out

Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh 
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh 
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh 
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh 
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh (Believe) 
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh 
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh (Believe, you want this too) 
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh

Why won't you tell me that 
It's almost over 
Why must this? 
Tear my head 
Inside out

Why won't you tell me that 
It's almost over 
Why must this? 
Tear my head 
Inside out

Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh 
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh 
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh 
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh

Songwriters: Thomas Delonge

Explossions in the sky sort of emo music!! Same awful voice as in blink!! This guy should have done some improvements though!!

How is this song not more popular

made me dig-out my +44 album

Box Car Racer

The first time i listened to this song was in 2009 and after a long long time i listened again this evening and those memories flood me back making me lonely about those gone years

Hit me hard too

How does this only have 74k views?

Listen in 1.25x speed, trust me

Sounds better the original is too slow now

Eh i prefer it at normal speed

Love this song

Just Go Back.. Remember her. So beautiful, so real. True Love is but a feather in The wind .

I'll be, I'll be yours

Sarah Rachelea Damaningpuri OK 😍

Wish You'd Come True - The 126ers....damn

The beatiful years 2006. Is a great song. Love you AvA!!!

All Ava songs hit me in my soul. The instruments are beyond chilling. And the words written are so damned beautiful. Thanks for doing what you guys do. I look forward to the new album coming.

I agree. I love the instrumentals. Simple but it sounds great.

distrac trac tiooooooooon ..

hahahah put it on x1.25 and is sounds like blink made it

My city has just went through a horrifying tragedy this week and this song brings actual tears and shivers down my spine. I've recently separated with my best friend and as if this world isn't small enough without her, all of this chaos surrounds me. With everything going on in this world from war to violence to greed to poverty to hatred, would you ever have known these words were for you? I'll be your distraction.

D A what happened over there?

rob864guy Vegas Massacre

Love to hear them when I paint it gives me a incredible imagination 🖤

That is a beautiful comment!🎈🌧💕

Who's here from the new acoustic EP?

Daveeey meeeeee

this song is memory gone so strong that I feel really good and emotions go strong

best song on the album right here

CAKE ARMY

If this song had a faster tempo, the sounds were replaced by guitars and bass, and travis was in the drums instead, we would have a great song in a blink-182 album post the self titled era. Such a shame it's not that way.

just hear it in x1.5 speed

“If we made took these lyrics and changed everything about the song except the singer, it would be like a song from a different band.” Wow, great observation.

Someone should make that

Awesome song. Good times. Hope Tom still doing some good stuff like dis.

One person was distracted and pressed dislike accidentally

...4 now

Arvadius Shadow make that 18..

They were deaf

Now, they're 33.

man I know this song for quite a bit now and I'm wondering why this is so unpopular.

Bands promoting Love get no play in the mainstream.

@Forrest Trump And this one of my favorite songs by them! The chorus is perfect

i love this band and this song played at my grad ceremony in mid 2013

Devon Stone beautiful

Never knew this song till recently. Good song, good band

This song reminds of when times were better back in 2006. Love the entire album!

Yeah...lots of song I remember from 2006 in particular. this is one of them. <3

Wish I could experience what everyone is saying was such a good time but I was born in 2004

Lyger Music Productions i was born in 2003
