"Adam's Song" is a song by the pop punk band Blink-182 and is taken from their third album Enema of the State (this album being largely credited for the band's success). The song deals with depression and suicide, and is a noticeable departure from the toilet humor present in most of the other songs on the album. It is comparable to the song "Stay Together for the Kids" (which deals with 'broken home' and family issues) from Blink-182's fourth studio album Take Off Your Pants and Jacket.
