On the Mend
Surviving Solitude: Embracing Resilience in 'On the Mend' by Foo Fighters
Lyrics
One more day that I've survived
Expressing survival through another day
Another night alone
Reflecting on another night spent alone
Pay no mind, I'm doing fine
Asking not to be concerned, claiming well-being
I'm breathing on my own
Independence and self-sufficiency in breathing
I'm here
A confirmation of presence
And I'm on the mend
Expressing being in the process of recovery
I'm here
Reiteration of being present and recovering
And I'm on the mend, my friend
Emphasizing recovery as a friend
Wake me when the hour arrives
Request to be awakened at a specific time
Wake me with my name
Desiring to be addressed by one's name upon waking
See you somewhere down the line
Anticipating a future meeting with someone
We're tethered once again
Highlighting a connection or bond being reestablished
I'm here
Reiteration of being in the process of recovery
And I'm on the mend
Expressing being in the process of recovery
I'm here
Reiteration of being present and recovering
And I'm on the mend, my friend
Emphasizing recovery as a friend
I'm here
Reiteration of being in the process of recovery
And I'm on the mend
Expressing being in the process of recovery
I'm here
Reiteration of being present and recovering
And I'm on the mend my friend
Emphasizing recovery as a friend
Was it you?
Possibly questioning someone's involvement in a situation
Sad and alone
Describing a feeling of sadness and loneliness
Here we go
An indication of a recurring situation or experience
Close your eyes and stay a while
Encouraging someone to close their eyes and spend time together
But take me where you go
Expressing a desire to be taken along on a journey
Single file, we walk the mile
Suggesting a unified and orderly movement
Who's wandering back home
Pondering about someone returning home after wandering
I'm here
Expressing being in the process of recovery
And I'm on the mend
-I'm here
Reiteration of being present and recovering
And I'm on the mend, my friend
Emphasizing recovery as a friend
I'm here
Reiteration of being in the process of recovery
And I'm on the mend
Expressing being in the process of recovery
I'm here
Reiteration of being present and recovering
And I'm on the mend, my friend
Emphasizing recovery as a friend
Was it you?
Possibly questioning someone's involvement in a situation
Sad and alone
Describing a feeling of sadness and loneliness
Here we go
An indication of a recurring situation or experience
Here we go
Repetition of the anticipation of a recurring situation
Here we go
Repetition indicating the beginning of a familiar situation
Here we go
