All My Life
Foo Fighters刀 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All my life I've been searching for something
Something never comes never leads to nothing
Nothing satisfies but I'm getting close
Closer to the prize at the end of the rope
All night long I dream of the day

When it comes around and it's taken away
Leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most
Feel it come to life when I see your ghost

Calm down don't you resist
You've such a delicate wrist
And if I give it a twist
Something to hold when I lose my grip
Will I find something in there
To give me just what I need
Another reason to bleed
One by one hidden up my sleeve (one by one hidden up my sleeve)

Don't let it go to waste, I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keepin' me down
Don't let it go to waste, I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keepin' me down

Will I find a believer
Another one who believes
Another one to deceive
Over and over down on my knees
If I get any closer
And if you open up wide
And if you let me inside
On and on I've got nothing to hide (on and on I've got nothing to hide)

Don't let it go to waste, I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keepin' me down
Don't let it go to waste, I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keepin' me down

All my life I've been searching for something
Something never comes never leads to nothing
Nothing satisfies but I'm getting close
Closer to the prize at the end of the rope

All night long I dream of the day
When it comes around and it's taken away
Leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most
Feel it come to life when I see your ghost

Then I'm done done on to the next one
Done done and I'm on to the next one
Done done and I'm on to the next one
Done done and I'm on to the next one
Done done and I'm on to the next one
Done done and I'm on to the next one
Done done and I'm on to the next one
Done I'm done and on to the next

Done done on to the next one
Done I'm done and on to the next one
Done done on to the next one
Done I'm done and on to the next

Don't let it go to waste, I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keepin' me down
Don't let it go to waste, I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keepin' me down





Done done on to the next one
And I'm done and on to the next

Overall Meaning

"All My Life" by the Foo Fighters is a song that explores themes of longing and pursuit of something unattainable. The song opens with the lead singer, Dave Grohl, stating that all his life he has been searching for something, but that something never comes and leads to nothing. This emphasizes that the pursuit of this unknown thing is a never-ending and exhausting process. The lyrics also suggest that the pursuit of this undefined goal can be damaging, and leaves the singer with a feeling of dissatisfaction.


The song progresses with the idea of getting closer to whatever the goal is, but never quite reaching it. The line, "Closer to the prize at the end of the rope," suggests that even when one is close to achieving their goal, it can still be out of reach. The singer also mentions the importance of memories and the impact they can have on one's life. The line, "Feel it come to life when I see your ghost," hints that the memories of past experiences with someone who is no longer present can bring one closer to their goal.


The chorus repeats throughout the song, emphasizing the weight that the pursuit of this unknown goal has on the singer. The repeated phrase, "Don't let it go to waste, I love it but I hate the taste, weight keepin' me down," shows the internal struggle between wanting to keep going and wanting to give up because of the emotional toll it takes.

All my life I've been searching for something
I've spent my entire life looking for something important


Something never comes never leads to nothing

Nothing satisfies but I'm getting close
I haven't found what I'm looking for but I'm getting closer


Closer to the prize at the end of the rope
I'm almost to the point of achieving my goal but it's still just out of reach


All night long I dream of the day
I spend every minute of every day thinking about the day when I finally achieve my goal


When it comes around and it's taken away
Often, when I get close to achieving my goal, something takes it away from me


Leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most
This feeling of almost achieving my goal, only to have it taken away, is the worst feeling I know


Feel it come to life when I see your ghost
But when I think of you, it feels like my goal is within reach, even if just for a moment


Calm down don't you resist
Don't fight this feeling


You've such a delicate wrist
You're vulnerable and I need to be gentle with you


And if I give it a twist
But if I twist your wrist, maybe you'll pay attention to me


Something to hold when I lose my grip
I need something to hold onto when I feel like I'm losing control


Will I find something in there
Maybe if I hold onto you, I'll find what I'm looking for


To give me just what I need
Perhaps you can provide what I'm searching for


Another reason to bleed
But maybe you'll just end up hurting me again


One by one hidden up my sleeve (one by one hidden up my sleeve)
I keep trying new things, hoping to find what I'm looking for, but so far nothing has worked


Will I find a believer
Will I find someone who truly believes in me and my goal


Another one who believes
Maybe I need more than one person to believe in me


Another one to deceive
But maybe they'll just end up letting me down again


Over and over down on my knees
I keep trying, even when I feel defeated and hopeless


If I get any closer
Maybe this time, I'll finally reach my goal


And if you open up wide
If you let me in and truly understand me


And if you let me inside
Maybe you can help me find what I'm looking for


On and on I've got nothing to hide (on and on I've got nothing to hide)
I'll keep going, being honest and open with everyone, until I finally achieve my goal


Then I'm done done on to the next one
If I don't find what I'm looking for with you, I'll move on to someone else


Don't let it go to waste, I love it but I hate the taste
I don't want to waste any more time searching, even though I love the thrill of the chase


Weight keepin' me down
The need to find what I'm looking for is a heavy burden that weighs me down


And I'm done and on to the next
I'll keep moving forward, looking for what I'm chasing
