Walk
Foo Fighters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
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?
The song "Walk" by the Foo Fighters is about personal growth, starting over, and finding one's place in the world. The lyrics speak to the struggle of overcoming obstacles and the desire to keep moving forward despite the challenges. The opening lines of the song, "A million miles away, your signal in the distance, to whom it may concern, I think I lost my way," convey a sense of isolation and the feeling of being lost. However, as the song progresses, the individual becomes stronger and more confident in their abilities.
The chorus of "Learning to walk again, I believe I've waited long enough, where do I begin?" highlights the theme of starting over and the desire to take that first step towards personal growth. The repetition of "learning to walk again" emphasizes the importance of taking small steps towards progress.
The second verse, "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," references childhood memories and the feelings of freedom and possibility that come with those memories. The imagery of burning paper mountains can be interpreted as letting go of the past and moving forward towards a new beginning. The line "can't you feel it growing stronger, little conquerors" speaks to the idea that progress is possible, even if it seems small and insignificant.
The bridge of the song, "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," conveys the idea that personal growth is a process that requires sacrifice and the willingness to take risks. The line "the knowing to survive" emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and the ability to persevere in difficult times.
Overall, "Walk" is a song that speaks to the struggle of personal growth and the importance of starting over. The lyrics convey a sense of hope and a belief in the power of taking small steps towards progress.

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