In this song from Wavves' Life Sux EP, the narrator struggles with his identity and not being able to live with one’s mistakes. He finds comfort in imagining meeting the rock legend Dave Grohl, who is best known as the drummer of Nirvana and the frontman of Foo Fighters.
I can't live with my mistakes
Get out of bed or face this day
But I need to
Needle in my eye
I just need you to go sit down
Cause I told you I'd bury it deep in the ground
A joke a stroke of genius
Probably somewhere in between
No joke the broken records laughing
While she gasps and screams
A lull from up above my neck
But still below my spleen
I am what I am who am I?
I don't know what that means
But I wanna meet Dave Grohl
I wanna meet Dave Grohl
I wanna meet Dave Grohl
I wanna meet Dave Grohl
I'm not a kid?
That's my mistake
Get out of bed?
Nah fuck this day
But I need to
Needle in my eye
I just need you to be around
But I told you I'd bury it deep in the ground
A joke a stroke of genius
Probably somewhere in between
No joke the broken records laughing
While she gasps and screams
A lull from up above my neck
But still below my spleen
I am what I am who am I?
I don't know what that means
But I wanna meet Dave Grohl
I wanna be Dave Grohl
I wanna be Dave Grohl
I wanna be Dave Grohl
So, Never gonna stop me)
Never gonna stop me
So, Never gonna stop me
Never gonna stop me
So, Never gonna stop me
Never gonna stop me
So, Never gonna stop me
Never gonna stop me
Never gonna stop me
Never gonna stop me
Never gonna stop me
Never gonna stop me
So, Never gonna stop me
Never gonna stop me
Never gonna stop me
Never gonna stop me
So, Never gonna stop me
Never gonna stop me
So,Never gonna stop me
Never gonna stop me
So,Never gonna stop me
Never gonna stop me
So,Never gonna stop me
Never gonna stop me
Never gonna stop me
