Cover art for On The Mend lyrics by Foo Fighters

I think this song is about being in hospital and the guy is in a coma or summit. that'swhy he says "Wake me with my name". as people in comas often respond when they hear a name. (I said Respond, not wake)

Dave wrote this song when Taylor Hawkins, Foo's drummer, was hospitalized from an OD' and Dave was very worried about him and he loved like a brother, So you are on the right track.

Not Valid

@phoenix818 @ark417 I like this theory; that it's the thoughts that the person in the coma is having while people are visiting their bedside. Like they're screaming, "I'm here! I'm here!"
