Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lately, I've been
Livin' in my head
The rest of me is dead
I'm dying for truth

Make me, believe
No more left and right
Come on take my side
I'm fightin' for you
I'm fightin' for you

Pleased to meet you take my hand
There is no way back from here
Pleased to meet you say your prayers
There is no way back from here
But I don't care
No way back from here

Wake me, I'm ready
Somethin' don't seem right
I was dreamin' and I was talkin' to you

Memory, mend me
Know I've seen my share
Things I can't repair
I'm breakin' to you
I'm breakin' to you

Pleased to meet you take my hand
There is no way back from here
Pleased to meet you say your prayers
There is no way back from here
But I don't care
No way back from, here

Pleased to meet you take my hand
There is no way back from here
Pleased to meet you say your prayers
There is no way back from here




But I don't care
No way back from, here, yeah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "No Way Back" by Foo Fighters are about feeling stuck in your own head and searching for truth. The singer says they've been living in their head lately and the rest of them feels dead. They're dying for truth and asking to be made to believe. They don't want to be caught in the dichotomy of left and right anymore, they want to take a side and fight for it.


The chorus, "Pleased to meet you take my hand, there is no way back from here, pleased to meet you say your prayers, there is no way back from here, but I don't care, no way back from here," speaks to the idea that once you've taken this leap of faith or made this decision, there's no turning back. Even if it's scary or unknown, you have to see things through.


The second half of the song continues with these themes of being ready for something, but feeling like something doesn't seem right. They want their memories to be mended but know that there are things they can't repair. The singer is reaching out to someone and asking for help, saying they're breaking and that they'd fight for that person.


Overall, the song speaks to the struggle of feeling stuck and uncertain, but being willing to take a leap of faith and fight for what you believe in.

RIP Taylor Hawkins... You and the foo fighters got me through some unbelievably tough times. I don't know what else to say, words just don't suffice, didn't know I could feel this much pain over someone passing that I've never even met.
