"That song didn't happen until later on in the session. Grohl also told XFM "The Pretender" was not initially planned for the album and happened really quickly. But, you know, everyone's been f-ked over before and I think a lot of people feel f-ked over right now and they're not getting what they were promised, and so something to do with that." "That's the thing with lyrics, you never want to give away specifics, because it's nice for people to have their own idea or interpretation of the song. "In a 2007 interview with XFM, frontman Dave Grohl stopped short of explaining the meaning behind "The Pretender", but alluded its roots go to current political unrest. "Sorry your own *profound way* isn't right, even if it has helped you in your life." See what I mean? According to a few interviews, it "intended meaning had more to do with political unrest. Bmn from Hisuan, ArgentinaThe Foos Don't like to give straight answers as to what the songs mean, because they think it ruins it for the fans who found their own, different meaning in the song.Novus Ordo Seclorum from Hutchinson, Ksi fell extremeley in love with a girl who turned out to be a con.i loved this song before but thats what it means to me, SHE got the best of me, then i like to follow it with, "times like these" cause i got over it lmao.Disagree if you like, but as I said above that's just MY interpretation! Thankyou Dave Grohl for penning what I like to think is the most flawless song ever written. And a dark time in life, into a fantastic colour overload! This song can turn an ok workout into a great workout. If 1000 people listened to Best Of You, you would have 1000 different interpretations, as it perfectly means something different to everyone who listens to it. Nothing to do with profound meanings about what the song was written about, but it is a song that has a meaning to EVERYONE, in their own way. Heath from Kincumber South, AustraliaIf people had anthems this would be mine! Hits a chord with me the second 'I've got another confession to make' is heard.She's still the same person she was to him to the new guy and he's better without. Bob Nash from AmericaMy take on it is after a break up he's remembering she was not giving her all in the relationship, now he's wondering is somebody else getting her all.Lifes about 1 true self not living in the life of others tho remember that. As I right these words and pull the trigger just a couple of words written bye kurt Cobain b4 he pulled the trigger. Words are powerful but actions are stronger. You overcome, you get stronger, you prevale. Times in school times at home a terrible person in life who treated you bad. Overcoming the worse, the best and dealing with the things you never could. Yes dad at young age.This song says it all. My self a father of 2 girls I'm 38 there both 19 and 20. Charles from NorthbayI could go on for days. Take your pick his ex-wife Jennifer Youngblood or one of the three women he was romantically linked with in the late 90s snowboarder Tina Basich, actress Kari Wuhrer and the former Hole/Smashing Pumpkins bassist Melissa auf der Maur. Whoever it is he's writing about, he feels that she didn't put the same amount of effort into the relationship or always had one foot out of the door. This is the song you write when you find out that your ex, who you'd put out of your head and moved on from, is serious with a new guy and it dredges up a lot of bad emotion. He will deny until his dying day that My Hero is about Kurt Cobain but, more tellingly, he will always give us a vague platitude about how this song is about reaching your potential in life. Michael Farrow from UkI've always had the theory that there are certain songs that Dave has never told us the truth about.Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind Publisher: BMG Rights Management, Capitol CMG Publishing, Kobalt Music Publishing Ltd., Universal Music Publishing Group, Warner Chappell Music, Inc.
