I, I'm a one way motorway
I'm the one that drives away
Follows you back home
I, I'm a street light shining
I'm a white light blinding bright
Burning off and on
Uh huh huh
It's times like these you learn to live again
It's times like these you give and give again
It's times like these you learn to love again
It's times like these time and time again
I, I'm a new day rising
I'm a brand new sky
To hang the stars upon tonight
But I, I'm a little divided
Do I stay or run away
And leave it all behind?
Uh huh huh
It's times like these you learn to live again
It's times like these you give and give again
It's times like these you learn to love again
It's times like these time and time again
Oh oh oh whoa oh, uh huh huh
Whoa oh, uh huh huh
Whoa oh, uh huh huh
Uh huh huh
Uh huh
Uh huh huh
It's times like these you learn to live again
It's times like these you give and give again
It's times like these you learn to love again
It's times like these time and time again
It's times like these you learn to live again
It's times like these you give and give again
It's times like these you learn to love again
It's times like these time and time again
It's times like these you learn to live again
It's times like these you give and give again
It's times like these you learn to love again
It's times like these time and time again

My Interpretation
This is just my personal interpretation...
i think each 3 line portion is dedicated to a life situation. for me it reminds me of a relationship i was in for over 3 years. it had a very very harsh ending, and afterwards i found myself lost and trying to find myself(relates to first half of verse 1). eventually, I evolved into the person i am today. a strong, confident, intelligent individual... who can't seem to commit to anyone.(2nd half of first verse).
The chorus is kind of a progression of what you go through when you feel yourself really devastated.
first, you have to come to grips with yourself and learn to live through your daily routine again. the basics. then, you learn to have faith and trust in others(give). Last, you learn to open up and love again.
Second verse is the part of my life i find myself at right now...
New day rising refers to a new girl who enters my life. Lots of high hopes, leading to the second part of the verse. should i stay or run away, and leave it all behind...
on a personal level, i'm still trying to learn how to love again.. I do however have the 2nd verse set as a ringtone for any girl i start talking to because of this...

Song Meaning
The lyrics discuss how Dave Grohl felt "like I wasn't entirely myself" during the three-month hiatus the Foo Fighters entered following the tense and unsatisfying first recording sessions for One by One, as well as his uncertaintity about the future of the band.[2][3] The lyric "I'm a new day rising" is a reference to the album New Day Rising by Hüsker Dü, one of Grohl's favorite groups.

Song Meaning
This was the song that was playing in the car when I said my last goodbyes to my Dad. It was also the song I heard when I drove away from my house for the last time before it got completely demolished by a hurricane. I was never really a Foo Fighters fan but this song moved me in a way that made tears stream down my face. Now that I read the lyrics and heard some of the interpretations, now I believe that the Universe was talking to me through this song.

It's about cycles of life, patterns of good and bad. This is about the hard times, and seeing the big picture just when it's worst.
the road leads away and comes back home. It's about coming 'full circle'.

When I heard this song the first time five years ago I had just come from hospital. My doctor had told me that my cancer chemotherapy had worked and it looked like I was going to be alright after all. I sat alone in my apartment listened this song from the radio and cried. I had never felt so alive.---It's times like these you learn to live again---

You're f-ing kidding me. I thought there would be more posts on this that Everlong, but apparently not. I guess no one's heard the acoustic version.
Its just the whole wheel idea, life sucks, you move on, and you're constantly learning, giving, taking, loving, etc..
The studio version of this one will get stuck in my head pretty quick because it goes into 7/4 and the dissanence in the choard is so striking. But still, the acoustic version of this is loads more emotional, gripping, and just plain better. :)

I thought this was about the fact that we make mistakes and these make us more than our successes- time and time again...

Battle Royale Word Alive, The This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone). And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together. Mental Istid Ebba Grön This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri Hayalperest This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society. Holiday Bee Gees @[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him. Mountain Song Jane's Addiction Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it.""There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."Rate These Lyrics
