Foo Fighters Lyrics


While he was drumming with Nirvana, Dave Grohl was
recording original songs at home that never received public
release. Those tapes would become the foundation of the Foo
Fighters, the band he formed in 1995, after the death of
Kurt Cobain. Like Nirvana, the Foo Fighters melded loud,
heavy guitars with pretty melodies and mixed punk
sensibilities with a sharp sense of pop songwriting.

Dave Grohl began playing guitar and writing songs in his
early teens, as well as performing with a variety of
hardcore punk bands. In the late '80s, More...

Review about Foo Fighters songs
Foo Fighters Lyrics, what they mean to me | Reviewer: Anonymous
    ------ About the song This Is A Call performed by Foo Fighters

I am 15 years old and discovered the Foo Fighters two years ago after falling in love with Nirvana. They are now my favourite band and I have most of their albums. I love Dave Grohl because his songs and his lyrics have potential to be interpreted in different ways. Without analysing too far, listening to the sound of the words and guitars is beautiful. Then you can think about the lyrics and even if they appear to make no sense at all it doesn't matter because there is feeling behind it. Feelings, emotions, and passion and that is why I love the Foo Fighters.

Intrusive Thoughts | Reviewer: Sache
    ------ About the song DOA performed by Foo Fighters

as always, Foo Fighters songs are very powerful.
I think this song is talking about what to be afraid of to die? if you live, you'll definitely die. it's not about acceptance either, it's about take a glance for the last time of your life then JUMP happily to your death.
because life is boring and maybe you'll get more adventure in death.

the truth is, I keep thinking about those intrusive thoughts everytime I hear this song, like thoughts to kill myself.
but I can't stop listening to this song. I might gonna die.

Just My Opinion | Reviewer: UsedChemicalGirl
    ------ About the song Tired Of You performed by Foo Fighters

Everytime I hear this song it makes me think of first seeing it in the movie "I Think I Love My Wife." So to me the song is about being unfaithful to the one you love and hating yourself for it. I think of the diamonds as other people in love. Throughout the movie Chris Rock is saddened to see other functioning couples. And I think "I'm not getting tired." represents the man trying to reassure himself that he still loves his wife.

    ------ About the song Best Of You performed by Foo Fighters

It's cool and ok, that you all think it's a love story but it simply isn't. Between interpretations and actual meaning is a difference. I think this is about life, and especially getting used by people. To get the best of smb. Is meant in a negative aspect."is someone only interessted in the best of you?" Is he a real friend? The line with starting over again isn't about a relationship, but about friendship... Just sad how you guys are all fixated with gf and such... In the end the only thing that stays is us so you should first care about yourself, be the person you like to be, be DIFFERENT, resist! If you have watched the video clip you can see it's not much about relationships but individualism. To fight the uniformed people, cops in this example, though I don't think foo fighters hate cops... So for ME there is one message: shit happens. You will lose friends, you will break up, but the thing is to remind you of yourself, be a individual, fight the "mainstream". Again that's just my opinion, but you should whatch the vid before commenting here

Mediocre lyrics for the masses | Reviewer: Jason M
    ------ About the song This Is A Call performed by Foo Fighters

I knew Dave Grohl's bandmates in Scream long before he joined them. Grohl is a brilliant drummer and should have stuck to his forte. His lyrics try too hard to produce a meaning-the problem is he is mimicking far better punk poets, a doing a poor job.

Question | Reviewer: Baudolino
    ------ About the song Everlong performed by Foo Fighters

What about the lyrics between () ? Did you put those in yourself? I haven't heard those in the recordings I listened to..... A-typical of the rest of the song also....(or am I mistaken totally?). but thanx for putting them up, great song. Try to play it on a 12 string (sounds a bit to fresh for such a dark sound I'm afraid).

The song for me. | Reviewer: Christina
    ------ About the song Best Of You performed by Foo Fighters

This song really helped me through a hard time in my life. I feel a lot of song lyric interpretations are up to the listener, but to me this song spoke to me about having feelings for someone that has let you down and hurt you, but you still can't seem to not love them. By the end of the song the person has realized that they shouldn't be feeling this way. It starts with "I've got a confession to make I'm your fool" and at the end says "I'm no fool" They clearly know they are loving someone they shouldn't but can't let go.

Subjective of course | Reviewer: cwl
    ------ About the song Lonely As You performed by Foo Fighters

Great song (i can't say i understand completely).

This one
"One more time for the last time"
looks like definition of an effort to hold on, to make another effort to save dying relationship.

This song is for Obama | Reviewer: Don Juan
    ------ About the song Wheels performed by Foo Fighters

When I listened carefully to the lyric, I suspected about it, but now I'm almost sure: this song was first shown in public in the White House in front of Obama.
I think this song is for him, if you read the lyric, you'll see that it's in first person singular, then in second person, and then in plural.
I'm not an english speaker so I don't get it totally but some parts of the song made me think that this theory had sense. I'd appreciate if someone can confirm or dismiss my interpretation.
