Walk
Foo Fighters爀 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?
In "Walk," the Foo Fighters' frontman Dave Grohl explores the theme of personal growth through adversity. The lyrics reflect on the loneliness and sense of alienation that comes from feeling lost and disconnected, but they also recognize that the journey to self-discovery often requires starting over from scratch.
The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, with Grohl singing about feeling millions of miles away and struggling to find his bearings. He's searching for a signal, a way to connect with someone or something, but he doesn't know where to turn. Throughout the song, he asks the listener (or perhaps himself) where he should start, as he tries to relearn how to walk and talk again.
The chorus is a powerful image of personal rebirth, with Grohl embracing the idea of starting fresh and leaving the past behind. He's tired of waiting and ready to take control of his life, but he needs guidance and support to move forward.
The bridge section shifts focus slightly, with Grohl singing about the value of living in the present moment and finding strength in the face of chaos. He acknowledges that life is unpredictable and full of challenges, but he's willing to face them head-on as long as he can hold onto his sense of self and purpose.
Overall, "Walk" is a song of hope and determination, with Grohl reminding listeners that even when things seem hopeless, there is always the potential for growth and change.

I need to see results, because I've been waiting and working for too long to give up now
