this song is about kurt cobain

trevorleedc is right. I saw a concert the other day and he said he wrote this song about his sister.

This song is about a relationship that begins to fall apart when the woman begins to cheat on the narrator. He finally comes to realize her secret, and asks her "Is someone getting the best of you?" meaning is someone else taking all of the good qualities of you as a person that you used to show to me.

All I can say is
when I watch Dave Grohl sing "Leather and Lace" with Will Ferrell......

DAVE GROHL CAN HAVE THE BEST OF ME. Yowza.

God, I love this song soooo much.
And it brings back memories... and thoughts...
But fuck it man, Gooo Foo Fighters, great song.

I love this song so much. I experienced something similar recently and I listened to this song so much, asking myself if I was born to resist or be abused. If I would stand up to all the shit happening or if I would swallow it, for the sake of not destroying what you have.

I love how he first sings the lines:
I've got another confession to make
I'm your fool
Everyone's got their chains to break
Holding you

This goes well with the line 'I was too weak to resist, too strong to lose'. It's like he's saying that no matter what happened and no matter how much she might have hurt and betrayed him, he's still her fool and still loves her so much, that's why he finds it so hard to break the chains tying them together. He's too weak to resist her and he feels his love is too strong to lose her.

And then at the end the line changes to:
I've got another confession my friend
I'm no fool
I'm getting tired of starting again
Somewhere new

Here he confesses that it might not be his love for her that makes him want to stay with her. It's because he's afraid to end things, to have to start over again with someone else. I think this is a feeling shared by alot of people who had a long term relationship. If you have alot of history behind you, then it's so much harder to give that up and have to start all over with someone else.

Anyway, such a great song!

He wrote this for his old Bandmate Kurt Cobaine.

If you listen to the lyrics you'll see it describes his life perfectly.

R.I.P Kurt

I think this song is about the suicide of Kurt Cobain, Dave's former band member in Nirvana. I say this because of the lines

without your noose
you gave me something that i didn't have

The noose is showing the suicide and he is saying that Kurt gave him is inspiration to start writing music.

It is an awesome song.

that song makes me sad, but its amazing, its always perfect for somebody i guess:\

THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST...

dave said on 'skin and bones' before the song... "this goes out to my sister lisa" .... more than likely a
relationship she was in where she is being used... "somebody getting the best of her" and how she's tired of
going on to a new relationship time and time again....

This song is just so amazing to listen to when your angry/frustrated with life. Its awesome.

i think that dave is asking himself the question, 'is anyone getting to best you?' as in is anyone taking advantage or using him.

I think its about a relationship that he ends up falling deeper than he ever planned. With a girl that moves from relationship to relationship often and very easily. A known heartbreaker.

I've got another confession to make
I'm your fool
Everyone's got their chains to break
Holding you

And he asks himself if it was him (the walls he always puts up) or if its her that has played him.

Were you born to resist or be abused?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?

He needed someone to turn to without complications/being too serious
She gave him something he thought he needed
but it didn't help him in the end
He didn't want to fall in love and he struggles with whether he is or isn't.
He's not the type of person who usually falls hard for someone
Can't give in and accept he's in love with her.

I needed somewhere to hang my head
Without your noose
You gave me something that I didn’t have
But had no use
I was too weak to give in
Too strong to lose
My heart is under arrest again
But I break loose
My head is giving me life or death
But I can’t choose
I swear I’ll never give in
I refuse


She has nearly destroyed him. He's in a lot of pain. Sometimes he hopes she'll come back. But he ends up broken hearted. She's gotten the best of him.

Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
The life, the love
You die to heal
The hope that starts
The broken hearts
You trust, you must
Confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?


He's not sure he believes it himself except the pain he feels is real. He has to trust himself. Especially when he knew what type of girl she was. He doesn't want to chase her because he knows he'd be a fool. She has made him realize he needs something he can count on.

I’ve got another confession my friend
I’m no fool
I’m getting tired of starting again
Somewhere new

he's confused has to decision and the person that is always with him helps him and knows the way he really feels

i love this song, one of my all time favorites from anyone, this song is so much better live than on cd even, to watch the emotions of dave grohl close up when he sings it is one the best musical performances i've ever witnessed

OK, so this song is totally about being taken advantage of ... happened to every1 at least once in their lives ... and this song is like asking yourself - am i being taken advantaged of...it's like denial - you know but you won't admit...pretty deep stuff...lol

This song is just, wow. It's from a little while ago but right now it fits for me perfectly.

I think this song is about moving on from someone you still love. In the beginning of the song he talks about being their fool, and he has to resist the temptation of being with them again, but yet he wonders if someone is getting the best of them, if they are loving someone like they once loved him. He wants to keep trying and hold onto them, but he keeps fighitng it. By the end he is moving on. "I'm no fool. I'm getting tired of starting again somewhere new". Maybe that is saying everytime he tries to be with someone new they are nothing like the person he truly loves, so it fails and he's back to loving them. So he needs to let go or he'll be in the same spot every time.

It kind of seems to me like there's a girl and her husband/boyfriend is beating her and this guy is trying to get her to tell him

This


Is



Mindblowing.



I love it.

I think most of this song is pretty easy to understand the meaning to, however there was one line that all ways confused me and when i did understand it it hit me hard.

"I was too weak to give in
Too strong to lose"

Because in past experience its so much harder to let go than it has been to just carry on with life.
