these days
♫ Foo Fighters Lyrics

One of these days, the ground will drop out from beneath your feet
Someday, things will change unexpectedly, and your world will be turned upside down.

One of these days, your heart will stop and play it's final beat
Eventually, everyone will pass away, and life as we know it will end.

One of these days, the clocks will stop and time won't mean a thing
At some point, time will cease to have any importance, and the usual markers of hours and days will no longer matter.

One of these days, their bombs will drop and silence everything
There may come a time when war or other catastrophic events happen, and everything will be destroyed or silenced.

But it's alright, yeah it's alright, said it's alright
Despite these uncertainties, the singer is trying to stay positive and reassure themselves that everything will be alright.

Easy for you to say
However, the singer acknowledges that it's easier said than done to remain optimistic in the face of such unpredictable events.

Your heart has never been broken
The singer is addressing someone who has led a less tumultuous life and may not understand the gravity of these potential situations.

Your pride has never been stolen
This person may not have experienced the same kind of loss or betrayal that would make it more difficult to keep hope alive.

Not yet, not yet, one of these days
The singer predicts that this person will likely face similar hardships in the future.

I bet your heart 'll be broken
The artist is betting that this person's heart will eventually be broken.

I bet your pride 'll be stolen
They're also betting that this person's pride will be taken away at some point.

But it's alright, yeah it's alright, said it's alright
Despite this prediction, the singer maintains that things will be alright in the end.

Don't say it's alright, don't say it's alright
However, they caution against assuming that everything is always alright, since this type of thinking can ignore the reality of pain and loss.

One of these days your heart will stop and play it's final beat
The song ends with a reminder that, despite any struggles we face in life, death is ultimately the one certainty we will all face, and it's important to make peace with this idea.
