F.O.D./All by Myself
Green Day Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was alone, I was all by myself
No one was looking, I was thinking of you
Oh yeah, did I mention I was all by myself
All by myself
All by myself
All by myself

I went to your house, but no one was there
I went in your room
I was all by myself
You and me had
Such wonderful times




When I'm all by myself
All by myself

Overall Meaning

The first part of the lyrics to Green Day's song F.O.D./All by Myself expresses the feeling of loneliness that the singer experiences. He says that he was alone, and that no one was looking at him, as he was lost in thought about someone he misses. The repetition of the phrase "All by myself" emphasizes further the isolation the singer is feeling. In the second part of the lyrics, the singer remembers happy times spent with the person he's thinking of, before returning to the phrase "All by myself" one last time.


The song F.O.D. was released as part of Green Day's third album "Dookie" in 1994 as a hidden track. The song is a short acoustic piece that leads in from the previous track, "All By Myself", which is a joke track featuring drummer Tré Cool performing a CB radio chat about the virtues of masturbation. F.O.D stands for "Fuck Off and Die".

Green Day - F.O.D. lyrics

0:00 Something's on my mind
It's been for quite some time
This time I'm on to you
So where's the other face?
The face I heard before
Your head trip's boring me

Let's nuke the bridge we torched
2,000 times before
This time we'll blast it all to hell
I've had this burning in my guts now
for so long
My belly's aching now to say

Stuck down in a rut of dislogic and smut
A side of you well hid
When it's all said and done
it's real and it's been fun
But was it all real fun

Let's nuke the bridge we torched
2,000 times before
This time we'll blast it all to hell
I've felt this burning in my guts now
for so long
My belly's aching now to say

to say...

You're just... a fuck,
I can't explain it 'cause I think you suck.
I'm take-
-in pride
in telling you to fuck off and die.

I've had this burning in my guts now
for so long
My belly's aching now to say
I'm taking pleasure in the doubts
I've passed to you
So listen up as you bite thisssss...

You're just... a fuck,
I can't explain it 'cause I think you suck.
I'm take-
-in pride
in telling you to fuck off and die.

Goood niiiiiiiiight....

Green Day - All By Myself lyrics

4:08 I was alone,I was all by myself
No one was looking, I was thinking of you
Oh yeah, did I mention I was all by myself
All by myself...
All by myself...
All by myself...

I went to your house,but no one was there
I went in your room
I was all by myself
You and me had
Such wonderful times
When I'm all by myself,
All by myself

Brings back a lot of memories

Neovixen

i remember knowing about all by myself, but i couldnt ever find it until i was like 14 so i didnt actually think it was on the album, until one day i was cleaning my room and i was too lazy to change the cd and like 5 minutes later i fucking heard it and my heart sank because it caught me really off guard

disconnected from reality

the best way to finish one of the greatest albums ever

timmayi2

Ahh, what a great end to an album.
