"DOA" as written by David Eric Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Christopher A. Shiflett and Nate Mendel....
Oh you know I did it
It's over and I feel fine
Nothing you could say is gonna change my mind
Waiting and I wait at the longest night
Nothing like the taste to sweet decline
I was down, I fell, I fell so fast
Dropping like the grains in an hourglass
Never say forever 'cause nothing last
Dancing with the thorns of my buried past
Nevermind there's nothing I can do
Bet your life there's something killing you
It's a shame we have to die my dear
No ones getting out of here, alive
This time
What a way to go, but have no fear
No ones getting out of here, alive
This time
Finished, I'm getting you off my chest
Made you come clean in a dirty dress
A promise is a promise you kept in check
Hard to cross a heart that beats this fast
Take a good hard look for the very last time
The very last one in a very long line
Only took a second to say goodbye
Been a pleasure, but the pleasure's been mine all mine
Nevermind there's nothing I can do
Bet your life there's something killing you
It's a shame we have to die my dear
No ones getting out of here, alive
This time
What a way to go, but have no fear
No ones getting out of here, alive
This time
Ain't no way, DOA
Ain't no way, DOA
Take a good hard look for the very last time
The very last one in a very long line
Only took a second to say goodbye
Been a pleasure, but the pleasure's been mine all mine
Nevermind there's nothing I can do
Bet your life there's something killing you
It's a shame we have to die my dear
No ones getting out of here, alive
This time
What a way to go, but have no fear
No ones getting out of here, alive
This time
It's a shame we have to disappear
No ones getting out of here, alive
This time
This time
This time
It's over and I feel fine
Nothing you could say is gonna change my mind
Waiting and I wait at the longest night
Nothing like the taste to sweet decline
I was down, I fell, I fell so fast
Dropping like the grains in an hourglass
Never say forever 'cause nothing last
Dancing with the thorns of my buried past
Nevermind there's nothing I can do
Bet your life there's something killing you
It's a shame we have to die my dear
No ones getting out of here, alive
This time
What a way to go, but have no fear
No ones getting out of here, alive
This time
Finished, I'm getting you off my chest
Made you come clean in a dirty dress
A promise is a promise you kept in check
Hard to cross a heart that beats this fast
Take a good hard look for the very last time
The very last one in a very long line
Only took a second to say goodbye
Been a pleasure, but the pleasure's been mine all mine
Nevermind there's nothing I can do
Bet your life there's something killing you
It's a shame we have to die my dear
No ones getting out of here, alive
This time
What a way to go, but have no fear
No ones getting out of here, alive
This time
Ain't no way, DOA
Ain't no way, DOA
Take a good hard look for the very last time
The very last one in a very long line
Only took a second to say goodbye
Been a pleasure, but the pleasure's been mine all mine
Nevermind there's nothing I can do
Bet your life there's something killing you
It's a shame we have to die my dear
No ones getting out of here, alive

No ones getting out of here, alive

It's a shame we have to disappear
No ones getting out of here, alive
This time
This time

in the begining he says:
"Oh you know I did it
It's over and I feel fine
Nothing you could say is gonna change my mind
Waiting and I wait at the longest night
Nothing like the taste to sweet decline"
which means that the decision that he couldnt make before, he finaly made. and nothing that she/ they say is gonna change his mind.
"I was down, I fell, I fell so fast
Dropping like the grains in an hourglass
Never say forever cause nothing lasts
Dancing with the thorns of my buried past"
this means that he probably made alot of mistakes in the past, but hey nothing lasts forever.
"Nevermind there's nothing I can do
Bet your life there's something killing you"
all this means is that he mite have though about helping her, but then realized that their was nothing he could do cuz she wont change.
It's a shame we have to die my dear
No ones getting out of here, alive
This time
now this is very interesting cuz hes says " no ones getting out of here alive" no, it dosent mean he wants to kill someone. what i think it means is that when they break up, hes not the only one whos gonna feel pain. they wont be the same.
this is my favorite part of the whole song:
"Finished, I'm getting you off my chest
Made you come clean in a dirty dress
A promise is a promise you kept in check
Heart across a heart that beats it's fist"
this is saying that hes done with her and doesnt want anything to do with her anymore.and that he made her say how she really feels about him ( hence the part " made you come clean in a dirty dress) even though she didnt want to.
"Take a good hard look for the very last time
The very last one in a very long line
Only took a second to say goodbye
Been a pleasure but the pleasure's
been mine, all mine"
this is kind of self expanitory. all it means is for her to look one more time, and say goodbye to what she lost. and this will be the last time he will ever feel this way for her.
i think that intothegrinder2 is write it should be:Been a pleasure. but the pleasure's been mine, all mine
this is a really great foo fighters song. its one of my favorite.
"Then the pleasure about the pleasure's
been mine, all mine"
should be...
Been a pleasure but the pleasure's been mine, all mine
