ARTIST: Foo Fighters | ALBUM: one and one | RELEASED: 2003

"Times Like These" is a song for you if you find yourself a little down on life. The song in fact originated from adversity as Dave Ghrol wasn't so upbeat about his and the band's future. Besides that, the song is a simple, but heavy riff to go along with the heartfelt lyrics ( somewhat heartfelt lyrics ).The song is written from the first person's point view, and all throughout the song it's a case of Dave describing his somber feelings with the use of metaphors.I am a one way motorway - this can be interpreted in several different ways. One is to say "motorway" is life and "one way motorway" suggests that life, just like time, only goes forward. There's also the idea of lack of crossroads on the way, or meeting other. So in that regard, "one way motorway" suggests Dave's lonely life.Then follows you back home - you can't follow back on an "one way motorway." So this means, even though life only goes forward, it's not the case with personal memories. They can sometimes "follows you back home."I am a new day rising - Wikipedia page of the song says this is a reference to the albumby Hüsker Dü, one of Grohl's favorite groups. But these is also the interpretation of seeing "new day" as a ending a bad and a hopeful beginning.To hang the stars upon tonight - "stars" symbolizes a bright future for someone seeking a better day.Chorus of the song basically states that when you're having to negotiate adversity in life, you'll be a stronger person after overcoming it. During that time, you will learn to love, live and give.That's what I make of the song. Let me know what you guys think of it.I am a one way motorwayI'm the road that drives awayThen follows you back homeI am a street light shiningI'm a white light blinding brightburning off and onit's times like these you learn to live againit's times like these you give and give againit's times like these you learn to love againit's times like these time and time againI am a new day risingI'm a brand new skyTo hang the stars upon tonightI am a little dividedDo I stay or run awayand leave it all behind?it's times like these you learn to live againit's times like these you give and give againit's times like these you learn to love againit's times like these time and time againLyrics from http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/foofighters/timeslikethese.html
