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
'Cause this one is a lie
We sat around laughin' and watched the last one die
Now, I'm lookin' to the sky to save me
Lookin' for a sign of life
Lookin' for somethin' to help me burn out bright
And I'm lookin' for a complication
Lookin' 'cause I'm tired of lyin'
Make my way back home when I learn to fly high
I think I'm done nursing patients
It can wait one night
I'd give it all away if you give me one last try
We'll live happily ever trapped if you just save my life
Run and tell the angels that everything's alright
Now I'm lookin' to the sky to save me
Lookin' for a sign of life
Lookin' for somethin' to help me burn out bright
I'm lookin' for a complication
Lookin' 'cause I'm tired of tryin'
Make my way back home when I learn to fly high
Make my way back home when I learn to
Fly along with me, I can't quite make it alone
Try to make this life my own
Fly along with me, I can't quite make it alone
Try to make this life my own
I'm lookin' to the sky to save me
Lookin' for a sign of life
Lookin' for somethin' to help me burn out bright
And I'm lookin' for a complication
Lookin' 'cause I'm tired of tryin'
Make my way back home when I learn to
I'm lookin' to the sky to save me
Lookin' for a sign of life
Lookin' for somethin' to help me burn out bright
And I'm lookin' for a complication
Lookin' 'cause I'm tired of tryin'
Make my way back home when I learn to fly high
Make my way back home when I learn to fly
Make my way back home when I learn to
About This Song
"Learn To Fly" is an introspective rock anthem about personal transformation and the struggle to break free from cycles of disillusionment and stagnation. The lyrics express a yearning for spiritual renewal and authentic change, with Dave Grohl singing about needing divine intervention ("angels") and even embracing chaos ("a devil") to escape feelings of being trapped by lies and failed revolutions. Musically, the song showcases the Foo Fighters' signature melodic hard rock sound with soaring guitar work and Grohl's emotionally charged vocals that build from contemplative verses to an uplifting, anthemic chorus. The central metaphor of learning to fly represents the desire to transcend current limitations and find a new perspective on life, making it both a deeply personal confession and a universally relatable message about growth and self-discovery. The track became one of the band's most beloved songs, demonstrating their ability to blend heavy rock with vulnerable, hopeful themes.
