Foo Fighters - Lyric analysis

Foo Fighters - 'Times Like These'



Times like these is the fourth track on Foo Fighters fourth album titled 'One by One' which was released in 2002. A solo acoustic version performed by frontman Dave Grohl was also released after the popularity of the original had died down. The lyrics and style of the song are partly taken from the bands own personal inspiration.



The lyrics themselves can be taken in a number of ways, i personally see it as making mistakes but learning from them and moving on with a new outlook. however i think there may be a deeper meaning. The song mentions love a lot, and more importantly not knowing where it is headed "Im a little divided, should i stay or run away"


I think that the chorus could also suggest that he has been hurt by the person in his previous relationship, and has realised that it wasnt love at all as it says "learn to love again" - possibly saying that he didnt know what it was before.
