Walk
Foo Fighters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A million miles away
Your signal in the distance
To whom it may concern
I think I lost my way
Getting good at starting over
Every time that I return

Learning to walk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?
Learning to talk again
Can't you see I've waited long enough?
Where do I begin?

Do you remember the days?
We built these paper mountains
Then sat and watched them burn
I think I found my place
Can't you feel it growing stronger
Little conquerors

Learning to walk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?
Learning to talk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?

Now
For the very first time
Don't you pay no mind
Set me free, again
To keep alive, a moment at a time
That's still inside, a whisper to a riot
The sacrifice, the knowing to survive
That first decline, another state of mind
I'm on my knees, I'm praying for a sign
Forever, whenever, I never wanna die

I never wanna die
I never wanna die
I'm on my knees, I never wanna die
I'm dancing on my grave
I'm running through the fire
Forever, whenever
I never wanna die
I never wanna leave
I'll never say goodbye
Forever, whenever
Forever, whenever

Learning to walk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?
Learning to talk again
Can't you see I've waited long enough?
Where do I begin?

Learning to walk again
I believe I've waited long enough




Learning to talk again
Can't you see I've waited long enough?

Overall Meaning

The Foo Fighters' song "Walk" is a powerful and emotional anthem about starting fresh, shedding one's past, and moving forward in life. The lyrics detail the struggle of the singer, who feels lost and unsure of where to go in life. The opening lines "A million miles away, your signal in the distance, to whom it may concern, I think I lost my way" are full of imagery that hints at distance and displacement. The singer is searching for guidance, reaching out for a signal, but finds themselves disconnected from everything.


The chorus of "Learning to walk again, I believe I've waited long enough, where do I begin? Learning to talk again, can't you see I've waited long enough, where do I begin?" echoes this sentiment - the singer is ready to make a change, but uncertain of how to do so. The lyrics conjure up an image of someone who is frustrated with their current situation and wants to break out of their rut.


The bridge of "Now for the very first time, don't you pay no mind, set me free, again" is a call to action - the singer is ready to take control of their life and be set free from the chains that keep them in the past. The phrase "keep alive, a moment at a time" seems to suggest a mindfulness approach - the need to stay present and focused.


Overall, "Walk" is a powerful and optimistic call to action, a reminder that it's never too late to start over, and a tribute to the resilience and strength of the human spirit.

A million miles away
Your signal in the distance
To whom it may concern
I think I lost my way
Getting good at starting over
Every time that I return

Learning to walk again
I believe I’ve waited long enough
Where do I begin?
Learning to talk again
Can’t you see I’ve waited long enough?
Where do I begin?

Do you remember the days?
We built these paper mountains ⛰
Then sat & watched them burn 🔥
I think I found my place
Can’t you feel it growing stronger
Little conquerors

Learning to walk again
I believe I’ve waited long enough
Where do I begin?
Learning to talk again
I believe I’ve waited long enough
Where do I begin?

Now
For the very first time
Don’t you pay no mind
Set me free, again
To keep alive, a moment at a time
That’s still inside, a whisper to a riot
The sacrifice, the knowing to survive
The first decline, another state of mind
I’m on my knees, I’m praying for a sign 🪧
Forever, whenever, I never wanna die

I never wanna die
I never wanna die
I’m on my knees, I never wanna die
I’m dancing on my grave
I’m running through the fire 🔥
Forever, whenever
I never wanna die
I never wanna leave
I’ll never say goodbye 👋
Forever, whenever
Forever, whenever

Learning to walk again
I believe I’ve waited long enough
Where do I begin?
Learning to talk again
Can’t you see I’ve waited long enough?
Where do I begin?

Learning to walk again
I believe I’ve waited long enough
Learning to talk again
Can’t you see I’ve waited long enough?

@DeaghanOManachain

Soon I will be 31 years young. On Friday just gone I hit the longest amount of time sober on this earth since I was 12 years old. It's safe too say I am learning to walk again in 2024

Rest in Peace Taylor. Foo Fighters won't be the same without you. Your genius work on the drums cannot be replaced.

@stephenbowen3914

Such terrible news tonight. It makes me sad for his family, the band and all the fans around the world.

@marcovaldez6245

Its so sad but its awesome to see everyone coming back to an iconic song to remember him. May he rest in piece.

@nons823

I can't believe it. I know everybody is going to die someday, but the Foo Fighter's members was the last people I thought was gonna go.
