Lyrics for All My Life as interpreted by jrodfoo182

All My Life Lyrics
All my life I've been searching for somethin'
Somethin' never comes, never leads to nuthin'
Nothin' satisfies, but I'm gettin' 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 takin'away
Leaves me with the feelin' that I fear the most
Feel it come to life when I see your ghost

Calm down, don't you resist
Your such a delicate rist
And if i give it a twist
Somethin' to hold when I lose my grip

Will i find something in there,
to give it just what it needs
another reason to bleed
One by one, Hidden up my sleeve

One by one, Hidden up my sleeve

[3x]
Hey, don't let it go to waste
I love it but, i hate that taste
Weight keeping me down

Will I find the believer
Another one who believes
Another one to decieve
Over and over, down on my knees

If I get any closer, I
And if you open up wide
And if you let me inside
On and on, I've got nuthin' to hide

On and on I've got nuthin' to hide

[3x]
Hey, don't let it go to waste
I love it but, i hate that taste
Weight keeping me down

All my life I've been searching for somethin'
Somethin' never comes, never leads to nuthin'
Nothin' satisfies, but I'm gettin' 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 takin'away
Leaves me with the feelin' that I feel the most
Feel it come to life when I see your ghost

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
[2x]
Done, done, and I'm on the next one
Done, i'm done, and I'm on to the next

[3x]
Done, done; on the next one

Done, I'm done; i'm on to the next one

[3x]
Hey, don't let it go to waste
I love it but , i hate that taste
Weight keeping me down

[2x]
Done, done; on the next one

Done, I'm done; i'm on to the next

Wow...too many people trying to find much deeper meaning in this song than is intended. The song is not about cutting your self, or coke, or Dave killing Kurt (some idiot actually said that).

Anyway, this song is very obviously about eating out a girl. Read the lyrics and I gaurentee you will see all the inuendos for yourself.

Im pretty sure if you do some research online you can probably even find a quote where Dave explains that's what the song is about.

This was apparently about the best blow job he ever had... looking at the lyrics it seems pretty plausible...

and dont be stupid, its not about drugs, Dave Grohl has apparently been clean for the last 20 years minus a couple of joints, which he claims didnt work well with him.
so it wouldnt be about coke, coz in the interviews ive seen, he says he has never had coke, coz he saw a mate that did it when he was 18, who OD and died, and Dave says that if he ever tried concaine, he would snort the fucking world through his nose, and use all his money, coz he is that kind of person.

so im doubting its about drugs, or suicide, or self harm

This song actually IS about going down on a chick, dave actual said so in an interview


here is my interpretation

All my life I've been searching for somethin'
Somethin' never comes, never leads to nuthin'
(it never cums, never leads to anything of the sort)
Nothin' satisfies, but I'm gettin' close
(it doesnt satisfy his needs, but he is reaching)
Closer to the prize at the end of the rope
(closer to coming)

its very subtle, and continues throughout the song, when i first heard the song, i was like,,,, whaat? no he didnt?
and i asked a friend, and they were like, dont be stupid
but i looked up the lyrics, and its like,,,,whoaah yeah, it is about that


AWESOME fucking SONG! one of my favs of theirs

"It's one of the most aggressive songs we've ever written - it's kinda dark and dissonant but really in your face. It begins with a vocal and a guitar then it explodes and gets even bigger and just keeps on going and going. It's fucking great."


"That song is a little dirty. Use your imagination!"

This song is mainly about sex, just listen to the lyrics and you'll figure it out.

to me, it sounds pretty clear that the song's about suicidal tendencies and some depression. also, this song is interesting cause at times it seems to be describing oral sex to women, and then again, it sounds like a drug-influenced song. so my opinion is that the song is about all three!!! haha. it's like a mix :P

This song to me, is about trying to validate yourself for so long, then after a while saying, screw what everyone else thinks, I'M EFFING DAVE GROHL! He can do that you know...

look at this

this tells everyone that dave doesnt write songs about kurt...

"for the longest time i wouldnt write lyrics about that."
out of his mouth
also...
"i write something like that and i look at it and im like god damnit im gonna have to answer that question
a 1000 fucking times."

and all of his song are about relationships good times bad times and just to fucking rock


look i have every record they have and i have never thought any of them were about killing yourself hurting your self

so really get over yourself
nirvana was a great band and kurt was a genius


but i think dave is kinda over it seems like



case close and shut up

foo fighters best rock band ever.

Failed attempts at suicide...
Hanging (Prize at the end of the rope)
Cutting (One by one hidden up my sleeve)
Blowing your brains out (down on my knees/open up wide(to put the gun in).
Drinking poison (I luv it but I hate the taste).

Most convincing piece of evidence:
Feeling comes alive when i see your ghost (that of Kurt Cobain).

Take it or leave it... thats what its about... whats darker then that.

I am very shocked! I lovedthis song, I stilldo but I look upon it with anew light. Its very sexual and oh my god a little disgusting. I wonder did the managers know what the song meant before they released it. Is this allowed to be played on the radio? I mean I knew it had some dirty parts but i didnt realise its entirely based on the female genital area.

Dont get me wrong I still love the song, think its one of the greatest and I will still play it as my ring tone!
