Big Me
Foo Fighters爀 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I talk about it
It carries on
Reasons only knew
When I talk about it
Aries or treasons
All renew

Big me to talk about it
I could stand to prove
If we can get around it
I know that it's true

When I talked about it
Carried on
Reasons only knew

But it's you I fell into

When I talk about it
It carries on
Reasons only knew
When I talk about it
Aries or treasons
All renew

Big me to talk about it
I could stand to prove
If we can get around it
I know that it's true

Well I talked about it
Put it on
Never was it true
But it's you I fell into

Well I talked about it
Put it on
Never was it true
But it's you I fell into





I fell into
I fell into

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Foo Fighters’ song, “Big Me” are somewhat mysterious and open to interpretation. The song appears to be about a deep emotional experience that the singer is struggling to verbalize. The first verse serves as an introduction to the song’s theme, with the singer saying that when they talk about this experience, it carries on without resolution. The second verse seems to imply that the experience involves either an act of bravery or treachery, or possibly both.


The chorus of “Big Me” is an appeal to the listener to help the singer make sense of their experience. The singer suggests that if they can talk about it, they can come to a better understanding of the truth. Despite everything, the singer is confident that the experience is true, though they are struggling to find the right words to express it.


Overall, “Big Me” seems to be a song about the complexity of human emotion and our difficulty in putting those emotions into words. The singer is clearly grappling with something profound, but is unable to articulate it fully without the help of others. The song’s title, “Big Me,” could be interpreted as a call to action for the singer to step up and take control of their own emotions.
