Come Back
Chris/Dave/Foo Fighters/J. Taylor/Nate Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh oh, oh oh
Moving, again
Comfort of the chase
Now and again
This my saving grace
Keep me alive and give me something to lose
Goodbye, this time
Leaving you
I've been gone so long, so, gone so long
But I will come back
I will come back
I will come back
I will come back
I will come back
I will come back
I will come back
I will come back for you
Oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh
Changes, changing
Back and forth again
Trading faces
Strangers in the end
Dead on the inside I've got nothing to prove
Keep me alive and give me something to lose
Goodbye, this time
Leaving you
I've been gone so long, so, gone so long
But I will come back
I will come back
I will come back
I will come back
I will come back
I will come back
I will come back
I will come back for you
For you
I will come back
I will come back
I will come back
I will come back
I will come back
I will come back
I will come back
I will come back for you
I will come back
I will come back
I will come back
I will come back
The song "Come Back" by the Foo Fighters, written by Chris Shiflett, Dave Grohl, J. Taylor, and Nate Mendel, is a heartfelt ballad about longing for connection and reuniting with someone who has been apart for too long. The opening lines of the chorus, "I will come back" are repeated throughout the song as a promise to return despite the difficulties and challenges that life presents.
The lyrics touch on themes of change, identity, and searching for meaning in life. The lines "Moving, again / Comfort of the chase" suggest a restlessness and a desire for new experiences, while "Dead on the inside, I've got nothing to prove / Keep me alive and give me something to lose" speak to a feeling of emptiness and needing something to hold onto. The repeated phrase "I will come back" expresses a yearning for connection and the desire to find a place to belong.
The song features a powerful blend of rock instrumentation and emotional vocals that perfectly capture the feelings of loss, longing, and hope that the lyrics evoke. As the song progresses, the repeating chorus builds to an emotional climax, leaving the listener with a strong sense of the artist's deep commitment to his message.
