The song supports rumors that Scott Raynor (Drummer) was actually asked to leave the band because he had a drinking problem. The end of the song states "can't say I miss him around", and also, "hand in your resignation". Obviously refering to his bad habits and wanting him to leave.

Yes this song is about Scott but he did not ask to leave the band he was given a choice to either quit the drink or get kicked out, he was given one weekend to think about it but he took to long so was then kicked out! But who cares Travis is 10 times the drummer he was!

This song's about no suicide!
its about their x-drumer scott raynor who was kicked out of the band or he quit but I'm not sure. anyways the song is:
"so sorry its over" they are telling him that its over for him. That he is no longer in the ban

"Let's take some time to talk this over
You're out of line and rarely sober
We can't depend on your excuses
Cause in the end it's fucking useless" it's about how he ha drinking problems" You're out of line and rarely sober"
and that his excuses are useless.

Well.... That's pretty much it....
its easy to understan if you have know the story behind it.

Ok. This song is about Scott Raynor. He had a drinking problem, and mark and tom and rick (manager) gave him a choice to stop drinking and go to rehab or leave the band. One night at a concert scott was to drunk to play and and so they got travis who was playing with another band. He was a success and so scott left the band and travis took over. There you go. Thats the truth out of marks mouth so everyone just shut the fuck up!!!

For everyone saying blink denied the song being about scott, I believe mark also denied that "No It Isn't" (+44) wasn't directed towards tom, but then later came out saying it was. Just a thought.

Actually to anonymous on July 9th... you're an idiot... Mark never denied No it isn't being about Tom. He denied that the song breaking out on their website on the internet on Toms birthday being a malicious attack at Tom. He always maintained that No it isn't was about him.

This song is about the former blink 182 drummer, scott raynor who tom and mark kicked out of the band because he had some really bad problems like drinking and about the direction he wanted the band to go (some say he wanted to take on a more metal style but idk that may be true) The story goes that the band or friendships with scott were really going downhill and scott missed out on a lot of shows because he was drunk and wasted all the time. So blink was touring with the Aquabats, who's drummer was travis barker, and travis filled in for scott at a few shows. They liked travis so much that they talked to him and travis said he would be willing to join blink if they needed him. So they gave scott the weekend to think it over and go to rehab, and if he didn't want to he would be out of the band. Sunday came, and Scott tells them that he's changed and will go to rehab. That's when mark and tom tell him that travis is already the drummer because he took too long. In the end some might say tom and mark were dicks to scott, but they had to do what they had to do because they thought travis was the far better choice, but they are still a little embarrassed of how they treated scott...
Anyway........
it talks about the drinking problems scott had("you're out of line, and rarely sober")... and it says how they gave him so many chances to clean up his act but he never did("you can only lean on me for so long"). And it also is about them saying, so sorry it's over, like we got this far and I'm sorry our friendship is over. and there's so much more that he wanted and needed from scott so that their friendship and the band could progress. In the end when it mark is singing the verses it just talks about how they tried with scott but he was unmoveable, so the band didn't even bother, was sad he was gone, but wouldn't miss him too much due to his behavior.
