DeLonge, Tom - The Invisible Parade Lyrics






All laid over
This pain will drown out the sun
Mother, I'm coming home
But the war has just begun

All the boys will await the arising tide
On a pier with a traveled gun
I like the adrenaline, it's like a fucking drug
Mother, I'm coming home

I've discovered dreams that speak in tongues
Mother, my mind it runs
Cause the war has just begun

Every night I can hear the approaching high
In a hole but I fear I'd run
I've got a thing for the edge of a life to come undone
Mother, I'm coming home

(Ooh-ooh, la-da-da...)

Old and tired
Scarred and bruised to the bone
Mother, I'm coming home
And the war has just been won

All my friends can await the big ships to arrive
But I'd rather not join the fun
I need a minute to maybe soak in the sight
Of a town that I came from

  1. F.... ....

    Pure art

  2. O.... ....

    Sorry to burst all the people who see Blink reunion lyrics in the song but Tom wrote this about his brother who was in the Naval Special Forces. And as a member of a family who’s brother was in Marine Special Forces, I know what he means when he says the war has just begun. I see the battle in my brother’s eyes all the time.

    Semper Fi

  3. L.... ....

    Those chords are very similar to the song of “no isn’t” by +44

  4. H.... S....

    Ive been listening to this dude since '99. Im 30 now. This breaks my fucking heart. Honestly, his music has been with me ever since i heard it for the first time. Ive lived a wild life. I live in my car now and have very few friends. This album brought it all back.
    Just last night my mother told me to never call her again. Its because i told my sister i'd piss on her grave. "Whatchya gonna do?"

  5. D.... ....

    Fuck, this guy makes good music.

  6. C.... T....

    This is crap.

  7. C.... P....

    I get it tom you out grew blink musically bit quit letting mark and matt ruin it

  8. f.... f....

    Waiting..

  9. f.... f....

  13. T.... Z....

    Unlike Mark, at least Tom is coming home...

  14. d.... T....

    I respect his new path, I enjoyed the time when he was in Blink 182. Stay awesome my buddy!

  15. D.... R....

    an underrated s l a p

  16. j.... k....

    this song was written about his brother who was a Seal coming home after deployments right?

    j.... k....

    No, he said this song is about aliens

  17. D.... G....

    after 4 years

  18. M.... C....

    Please make song again like this

  19. D.... M....

    This is why tom is an allways be bigger then blink.

  20. D.... A....

    when he said " old and tired, Scared and bruised to the bone", i teared up

  21. S.... G....

    The black parade

  22. C.... ....

    Change the speed to 1.25x, thank me later

    C.... ....

    Doesnt make it good, but it does end faster. Thank you!

  23. K.... ....

    His voice and the words are so beautiful. My senior quote was a quote he said, “When we realize how little we mean to the universe, we realize how important we are to each other." I just listened to the whole album of California for the first time...and some songs I was not disappointed, however, right after that I listened to this song for the first time, this song is one of the most beautiful songs my ears have ever listened to. Thank you, Tom. You brought awesomeness to Blink, but your journey is not over, yet! ❤

  24. s.... ....

    Its funny because when I was young , I was a big Blink182 fan and always though that Mark and Travis were the guys who made that band so great..... When I listen today at what they do now .. Tom was the one who made them so good

  25. L.... C....

    Tom Delong changed my life. It may sound cheesy but true, and I always will cherish and love him for it.

  26. D.... A....

    Hi. 🇮🇩🇮🇩

  27. T.... S....

    The best song!!!!! <3 <3 <3

  28. l.... c....

    I think we need another album like this one

  29. D.... K....

    Love it.

  30. E.... W....

    This song perfectly captures the image of a group of soldiers returning to a military base as the sun rises. No warm welcomes or anything, but that’s what is beautiful about the song, it captures the image perfectly

  31. H.... S....

    You eating at a restaurant and Tom magically jus walks in...

  32. M.... I....

    please back to blinkkkk...

  33. S.... A....

    This song is like John Lennon song "Mother"

  34. D.... B....

    Love your music Tom

  35. B.... S....

    Ok why is this low key better than Blink

  36. x.... ....

    It's funny how the punk playlist is just fucking blink and sum 41

  37. P.... S....

    Blink182 is falling apart. It was my childhood. Please go back and save it Tom

  38. m.... ....

    When you're emo but also a blink fan so you like The Invisible Parade AND The Black Parade.

  39. L.... o....

    Hemm heemmm boxing day ?

  40. k.... t....

    1.25 speed

  41. d.... L....

    Bom demais. Que música: )

  42. A.... A....

    What a voice

  43. K.... H....

    guitar that is being held by tom is a guitar that often accompanies blink-182, when they play their old school blink-182 song.

  44. S.... D....

    I could definitely see mark doing the ooh oooooh part

  45. K.... G....

    This song is soooo under rated I feel.

  46. I.... R....

    I've always been a Tom's fan. I like this acoustic stile too. As usual, he tells a story.

  47. T.... 1....

    1:23 será que la chica no puede creer que haya pasado por ahí Tom?

  48. W.... S....

    @ 3.33 lol

  51. L.... ....

    He is a artist, I'm artist, we are live... Is it

  52. S.... K....

    People can hate me or love me but being a blink182 fan since 1999. Seeing them live was Awsome . I was sad that Tom left blink 182 but look he still Awsome and his music is good .Blink 182 still kicking ass without Tom so grow up and shut up

  53. R.... ....

    Tom is better off without them!
    Dont get me wrong, blink is blink..
    But hell with it, tom was its soul AND heart !
    And all this awesome things hes doing now , im way more fan then back that time.
    Btw, And awesome family man, still married his love And care about his children.... Im glad he choose family instead of money And fame back then.... And now he have it all.
    Cheers tom!
    Im from brazil, making music, doing what makes me happy And im tottaly agree with him. On this.

  54. F.... D....

    No shit 2:27 it's wishing well...

    My Prediction: maybe after his working with his project ,I'm pretty sure he will return to blink-182

  56. t.... s....

    tom please come back

  57. L.... o....

    Sound like boxing day .. dam tradam tdadam lala dadam

  58. A.... D....

    This man is a legend in my mind his music helps me a lot and i just feel vibes to music like this like i feel the music inside of me and this is a masterpiece even tho there is so many other good songs what i don't understand is why is Mumble rap called music and a masterpiece but i know good music like led zepplin and etc

  59. D.... 2....

    loveeee

  60. P.... P....

    It remins me of new beginning. I have lost 2friends on my own band,and 1sister & 1brodher. Thanks for this song, Love the way you are Tom Delonge

  61. j.... m....

    tbh tom is alot better without blink no offense blink is a awesome band but all that went away when tom left.
    Tom was mostly the reason most of there song's were funny but nowthe song that mark and travis made now kinda sucks and it doesn't sound punk at all and like i said tom is the reason why blink-182 was a great band

  62. c.... ....

    Of course it’s sad, you left the gbintw blink-182... But, no one says we will ever forget you, Tom
    Still loving you, and I guess this love is that kind of love, that will last till I die
    Thank you

  63. N.... O....

    Tom need a rest i think. I like you in your way bro

  64. K.... ....

    Not sure how I never found this music till now. I don't really search, but I just heard one of the songs on my Boxcar Racer station on Pandora. Tom's pretty amazing, besides the uniqueness of his voice, and singing, he definitely is a Artist.

  65. R.... p....

    HAS HIS VOICE CHANGE ?

  66. w.... ....

    I Disagree!

  67. S.... E....

    Levada da musica que faz pensar em coisas boassssss

  68. S.... V....

    Muy bonita canción Thom. Eres un referente para mi a la hora de componer las canciones de mi proyecto musical. Sigue así! un fuerte abrazo desde España!

  69. �.... �....

    U-uu-uuuu, U-uu-uuuu, U-uu-uuuu, U-uu-uuuu

  70. N.... B....

    +44 No it isn't.

  71. R.... ....

    So Tom is basically Avril Lavigne now?

  72. R.... ....

    Male Avril Lavigne - The Invisible Parade (Lyric Video)

  73. J.... S....

    Wtf is this shit Tom?

    J.... S....

    is a song dedicated to his brother who is in the army, is dedicated to the soldiers who sometimes when they come home after months there are no one there when they arrive, is more of a personal song

  74. M.... D....

    We miss you showed again in blink :(

  75. P.... R....

    People diss Tom but he's an artist that wants more than just being stuck in a pattern of entertaining kids, he transcends that.
    If mark and trav were happy with their lot then much love to them but Tom is a true poet, he'll be up with the greats.
    You can't hate a man that wants more from life, he was limited with blink, they could of moved on with him and grown musically but they chose not to, their loss not his, he wrote most his solo stuff hoping they would be blink songs but they didn't give him that chance.
    The new blink line up is droll and boring, I grew up on them but now I hear them and think meh....but Tom, that's a man that's timeless.

  76. j.... l....

    THIS GOOD

  77. R.... H....

    If true song is a message .. from this song we know what he feels. Go ahead tom..you are not alone ..

  78. K.... M....

    I love this dude!

  79. B.... ....

    Awww so beautiful ❤❤

  80. B.... M....

    much love my dude!

  81. A.... L....

    These lyrics are so fucking bad.

  82. J.... L....

    I love this song. Tom please come back to Blink at some point. Even if it becomes a foursome. I think this might happen in the future.

  83. M.... J....

    dreams that speak in tongues a good quote for the person who want to think out of the box 😀

  84. d.... b....

    God of UFO

  85. .... ....

    I've always loved acoustic Tom stuff like There Is and What Went Wrong, so this is great.

  86. K.... j....

    LMFAO this shit sucks

  87. J.... L....

    I SWEAR TO GOD I HEARD THIS ON THE RADIO LAST YEAR

  88. S.... A....

    why ava? why not box car racer ? cuz there is tom and travis is make blink alive again

  89. K.... A....

    i miss you tom

  90. C.... S....

    This sounds like it belongs on a second Box Car Racer album

  91. c.... p....

    Music video says country song, music says Tom delonge........

  92. M.... ....

    Tom DeLonge is a musical genius and this is definitely my favorite song with him. I wish he made a complete album with just songs like this one

  93. D.... H....

    I like what Toms doing, but Matt has justified his position in blink with California dlx, all they need to do is get rid of feldman or even start there own record label the o they don't have recording limits

  94. F.... L....

    "big ships to arrive" think he's talking about aliens there.

  95. H.... ....

    I love the guy,one of my favorites. He grew up,thats for sure. But still,its sad to see him alone. Rock on Tom!

  96. e.... b....

    please comeback to BLINK182

  97. B.... K....

    Pretty sure this song is about his brother being in the army.. that's what I've heard.
