Foo Fighters- Learn to Fly



Verse 1
Run and tell all of the angels
This could take all night
Think I need a devil to help me
Get things right

Hook me up a new revolution
Cos this one is a lie
We sat around laughing
And watch the last one die

Chorus
I’m looking to the sky to save me
Looking for a sign of life
Looking for something help me burn out bright

I’m looking for complications
Looking cos I’m tired of lying (’trying’ in 2nd chorus)
Make my way back home
When I learn to fly (high)

Verse 2
Think I’m done nursing the patience
I can wait one night
I’d give it all away
If you give me one last try

We live happily ever trapped
If you just save my life
Run and tell the angels
That everything is all right

Chorus

Bridge
Fly along with me
I can’t quite make it alone
Try to make this life my own
(x2)

Chorus

1. I think it's about..

..the 1976 Super Bowl. Played on January 18, 1976. The Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Dallas Cowboys 21-17. The MVP was Lynn Swann.
I could be wrong, but that's what the song says to me. :shrug:

[Screaming Lord Byron]

2. It's probably just profound-sounding gibberish.

3. I love your new sig pic!

:hi:

[StClone]

4. Modern lyrics

Are like abstract art.

At a distance they combind to evoke detached emotions, disembodied thought and random flights of fantasy.

Upon close inspection the lyrics have key words and phrases but lack the coherence that the overall wording and music's dramatic springboard induced the listener to entertain.

It otherwords I don't understand what exactly your singing but you do it so well. I like it!
