All my life
Foo Fighters爀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
The lyrics to "All My Life" by Foo Fighters speak of the singer's constant search for something that never seems to materialize. He speaks of how nothing ever satisfies him, but he feels like he's getting closer to what he wants. He details how he dreams of the day when he finally gets what he's been longing for, only to have it taken away from him, leaving him with an insatiable feeling. He admits to having something hidden up his sleeve and how he loves it, but he hates the taste it leaves, like a weight keeping him down.
The lyrics further suggest that he longs to find someone who shares his beliefs but also alludes to his deception towards others, where he goes down on his knees trying to get closer to them. The song's conclusion is that the singer acknowledges he is always on to the next thing, never quite satisfied with what he has or finds.
The lyrics have a sense of longing and desperation, with a theme of dissatisfaction and insatiability. The chorus, in particular, with the line, "Don't let it go to waste, I love it but I hate the taste, weight keepin' me down," conveys a sense of paradox, where the singer wants something desperately, but at the same time, it's weighing him down. Overall, the song has a powerful and emotional impact, as it speaks to a universal feeling of wanting more but never quite being satisfied.
