Exploring the nostalgic resonance of youthful experiences, blink-182 delves into the intoxicating allure and inevitable disillusionment of first-time encounters. The song juxtaposes moments of initial excitement—first drinks, first loves, and first flights—with the subsequent fallout and regret. Lyrics like "First drink of the night just to get me right" and "Passed out, last night" suggest a cycle of seeking thrill only to be followed by emptiness. The repetitive chorus underscores a longing for the purity and intensity of those early experiences despite their fleeting nature. Ultimately, this track captures the bittersweet essence of growing up: the euphoric highs are inextricably linked with sobering lows, leaving one to reflect on where it all went wrong while cherishing the irreplaceable novelty of those 'firsts.'
The First Time
Lyrics
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah
First drink of the night just to get me right
The first light of the day I know I've got it all wrong
First pill that you drop only sets it off
The next morning you wake up all blurry and numb
Before all the damage securities
Before all your innocence is all lost
Think back to the time you were all alone
One day you'll look back and say where's it all gone?
Sometimes we get lost inside our little heads
Don't sleep, just yet, we all know that there's nothing like the
First love, first time, there ain't nothing like the first time
Passed out, last night, there ain't nothing like the first time
Taking all the meds (first love)
Sleeping with her friends (first time)
Find out in the end ain't (there ain't)
Nothing like the first time (nothing like the first time)
Stuck inside her head (passed out)
Jumping in her bed (last night)
Find out in the end ain't (there ain't)
Nothing like the first time (nothing like the first time)
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah
(Nothing like the first time)
First time on a plane, said she's paranoid
Tried to make her feel safe and said it all wrong
First time in LA so she can't avoid
Leaving life she's failing all along
Sometimes we get lost inside our little heads
Don't sleep, just yet, we all know that there's nothing like the
First love, first time, there ain't nothing like the first time
Passed out, last night, there ain't nothing like the first time
Taking all the meds (first love)
Sleeping with her friends (first time)
Find out in the end ain't (there ain't)
Nothing like the first time (nothing like the first time)
Stuck inside her head (passed out)
Jumping in her bed (last night)
Find out in the end ain't (there ain't)
Nothing like the first time (nothing like the first time)
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
(Nothing like the first time)
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
(Nothing like the first time)
