    The intro will always give me goosebumps, Foo Fighters were my first favorite band as a kid. Still hold a special place for me.

    So thankful for this awesome song. I'll be gone soon (when my kidneys fail completely), but what am I listening to in the meantime? This song. Screaming out the lyrics right along with Dave. Because I'm still here now, and I still have a voice, and I will also never surrender. Not until it's my time.
    Always loved this song; never knew it would become my anthem in my final days. Thanks, Dave.

    the rest of the lyrics from the description:
    Keep you in the dark
    You know they all pretend
    Keep you in the dark
    And so it all began
    Send in your skeletons
    Sing as their bones go marching in again
    They need you buried deep
    The secrets that you keep are ever ready
    Are you ready?
    I'm finished making sense
    Done pleading ignorance
    That whole defense
    Spinning infinity
    But the wheel is spinning me
    It's never ending, never ending
    Same old story
    What if I say I'm not like the others?
    What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
    You're the pretender
    What if I say that I will never surrender?
    What if I say I'm not like the others?
    What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
    You're the pretender
    What if I say that I'll never ever surrender?
    In time, or so I'm told
    I'm just another soul for sale, oh, well
    The page is out of print
    We are not permanent
    We're temporary, temporary
    Same old story
    What if I say I'm not like the others?
    What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
    You're the pretender
    What if I say that I'll never surrender?
    What if I say I'm not like the others?
    What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
    You're the pretender
    What if I say I will never surrender?
    I'm the voice inside your head
    You refuse to hear
    I'm the face that you have to face
    Mirrorin' your stare
    I'm what's left, I'm what's right
    I'm the enemy
    I'm the hand that'll take you down
    Bring you to your knees
    So, who are you? Yeah, who are you?
    Yeah, who are you? Yeah, who are you?
    Keep you in the dark, you know they all pretend
    What if I say I'm not like the others?
    What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
    You're the pretender
    What if I say I will never surrender?
    What if I say I'm not like the others?
    What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
    You're the pretender
    What if I say that I'll never surrender?
    What if I say you're not like the others?
    (Keep you in the dark)
    What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
    (You know they all)
    You're the pretender
    (Pretend)
    What if I say I will never surrender?

Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace out and stay safe in the '020s.

    Lyrics
    Keep you in the dark
    You know they all pretend
    Keep you in the dark
    And so it all began
    Send in your skeletons
    Sing as their bones go marching in... again
    They need you buried deep
    The secrets that you keep are at the ready
    Are you ready?
    I'm finished making sense
    Done pleading ignorance
    That whole defense
    Spinning infinity, boy
    The wheel is spinning me
    It's never-ending, never-ending
    Same old story
    [Chorus 2x:]
    What if I say I'm not like the others?
    What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
    You're the pretender
    What if I say I will never surrender?
    In time or so I'm told
    I'm just another soul for sale... oh, well
    The page is out of print
    We are not permanent
    We're temporary, temporary
    Same old story
    [Chorus 2x]
    I'm the voice inside your head
    You refuse to hear
    I'm the face that you have to face
    Mirrored in your stare
    I'm what's left, I'm what's right
    I'm the enemy
    I'm the hand that will take you down
    Bring you to your knees
    So who are you?
    Yeah, who are you?
    Yeah, who are you?
    Yeah, who are you?
    Keep you in the dark
    You know they all pretend
    [Chorus 2x]
    [2x]
    What if I say I'm not like the others?
    Keep you in the dark
    What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
    You know they all... pretend
    You're the pretender
    What if I say I will never surrender?
    So who are you?
    Yeah, who are you?
    Yeah, who are you?

      Absolutely agreed. Nobody's saying what he did was right, and my sympathies go out towards his wife, but it's ultimately a matter that should only really involve him and his family, and he readily admitted the mistake. That shows strength and willingness to confront the issue, as well as hopefully change that bad habit. A lot better than some other celebrities have confronted things in the past. I hope for the best for his family as well as for him to handle the situation, whatever happens going forward. Foo Fighters are still an amazing band and that will never change for me.

    Lyrics
    Keep you in the dark
    You know they all pretend
    Keep you in the dark
    And so it all began
    Send in your skeletons
    Sing as their bones go marching in again
    They need you buried deep
    The secrets that you keep are ever ready
    Are you ready?
    I'm finished making sense
    Done pleading ignorance
    That old defense
    Spinning infinity, boy
    The wheel is spinning me
    It's never-ending, never-ending
    Same old story
    What if I say I'm not like the others?
    What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
    You're the pretender
    What if I say I will never surrender?
    What if I say I'm not like the others?
    What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
    You're the pretender
    What if I say that I never surrender?
    In time, or so I'm told,
    I'm just another soul for sale, oh well
    The page is out of print
    We are not permanent
    We're temporary, temporary
    Same old story
    What if I say I'm not like the others?
    What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
    You're the pretender
    What if I say I will never surrender?
    What if I say I'm not like the others?
    What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
    You're the pretender
    What if I say I will never surrender?
    I'm the voice inside your head you refuse to hear
    I'm the face that you have to face mirrorin' your stare
    I'm what's left; I'm what's right; I'm the enemy
    I'm the hand that'll take you down and bring you to your knees
    So, who are you?
    Yeah, who are you?
    Yeah, who are you?
    Yeah, who are you?
    Keep you in the dark
    You know they all pretend
    What if I say I'm not like the others?
    What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
    You're the pretender
    What if I say I will never surrender?
    What if I say I'm not like the others?
    What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
    You're the pretender
    What if I say that I'll never surrender?

    I’m not a native speaker, but to me this song is about fighting against yourself. It’s a “voice inside your head” that is not like the others, it’s stronger. It’s a voice from very deep places of your heart that wants to be heard, something you tried to hide. This voice says that it’s not real you, you just pretend, “so, who are you?” - a final question, should ask it yourself more often

      Here is some problems with revolution:
      We wants it all, with no sacrifice.
      Do you know how much you have to give up to be a part of a revolution? Do you know how much responsibility it takes and how much self-control and suffering?
      The only way human can evolve is by suffering and give up a dogmatic life. The French Revolution will soon be forgotten, because of socialism. They pull us back to what was before our freedom of the common man.. And I don't blame them.. man showed that they couldn't take the responsibility and become something greater than just something based upon self-glorious bastards, who believe everything is centered around them.
      Welcome to the new world... just stay in the dark and let them rot up. A greater man should never be bound to time and location.... A greater man is timeless and will create ideas which will never die. A shepherd who will then time is right, whisper a beautiful lie to the sheep... and once again create paradise.
      You're welcome to the most basic historical facts of the humankind.

No sabía mucho de rock, a duras penas Molotov, los prisioneros, Juanes (lol) y ver ese vídeo TNA agresivo, ese redoblante asesino, la brutalidad de los riffs... Muchos millennials conocimos la historia de Nirvana por estos locos... Que en paz descanse.
