데뷔 후 모든 앨범을 플래티넘에 올려 놓은 우리 시대 최고의 록 밴드 "푸 파이터스" 그들이 선보이는 역대 최강의 작품!런던 하이드 파크에서 85,000명 관객을 동원하고 웸블리 구장에서 열린 라이브 어스와 V 페스티벌의 헤드라이너 역할을 하며 수십만 관객을 흥분시키고 있는 이 시대 최고의 록밴드 중 하나인 "푸 파이터스"의 신작.보다 강해지고 보다 깊어진 이들의 여섯번째 스튜디오 앨범은 너바나 출신 나이스 가이로 기타와 보컬은 물론 피아노 연주까지 맡은 데이브 그롤 재능의 정점이다. 강력한 파워와 드라마틱한 전개를 자랑하는 첫 싱글 [THE PRETENDER]는 그저 예고편이다. 『LET IT DIE』, 『ERASE/ REPLACE』, 『COME ALIVE』에 흐르는 파워와 흡입력은 그들이 여지껏 보여준 그것에서 한 발짝 더 앞으로 나아갔다. 어쿠스틱 기타리스트 KAKI KING이 참여한 연주곡 [BALLAD OF THE BEACONSFIELD MINERS]는 명곡의 반열에 당장 올려 놓아도 좋을만큼 완벽한 완성도를 지니고 있으며, 데이브가 직접 피아노를 치며 노래하는 『HOME』은 이들의 깊이를 그대로 보여준다. "푸 파이터스"와 동시대에 호흡하고 그들의 성장을 바라보는 경험은 아마도 후대인들에게 큰 부러움을 사게 될 것이다. .... ....
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 The 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 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 I will never surrender In time our soul untold I'm just another soul for sale hh 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 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 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'm 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 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'm never surrender So who are you Yeah who are you Yeah who are you
Heart of gold but it lost its pride Beautiful veins and bloodshot eyes I′ve seen your face in another light Why′d you have to go and let it die?
Why′d you have to go and let it die? Why′d you have to go and let it die? In too deep and out of time. Why′d you have to go and let it die?
A simple man and his blushing bride Intravenous, intertwined Hearts gone cold your hands were tied Why′d you have to go and let it die?
Why′d you have to go and let it die? Why′d you have to go and let it die? In too deep and out of time. Why′d you have to go and let it die?
Do you ever think of me? You′re so considerate. Do you ever think of me? Oh, so considerate.
In too deep and lost in time Why′d you have to go and let it die? Beautiful veins and bloodshot eyes Why′d you have to go and let it die?
Hearts gone cold and hands were tied. Why′d you have to go and let it die? Why′d you have to go and let it die?
Do you ever think of me? You′re so considerate. Did you ever think of me? Oh, so considerate.
In too deep and lost in time Why′d you have to go and let it die? Beautiful veins and bloodshot eyes Why′d you have to go and let it die?
Hearts gone cold and hands were tied. Why′d you have to go and let it die?
Why′d you have to go and let this die? Why′d you have to go and let this die? Why′d you have to go and let this die? Why′d you have to go and let this die?

Here now don′t make a sound Say have you heard the news today? One flag was taken down To raise another in its place A heavy cross you bear A stubborn heart remains unchanged No home, no life, no love No stranger singing in your name
Maybe the season The colours change in the valley skies Dear God I′ve sealed my fate Running through hell, heaven can wait
Long road to ruin there in your eyes Under the cold streetlights No tomorrow, no dead end in sight
Let′s say we take this town No king or queen of any state Get up to shut it down Open the streets and raise the gates I know one wall to scale I know a field without a name Head on without a care Before it′s way too late
Maybe the season The colours change in the valley skies Oh, God I′ve sealed my fate Running through hell, heaven can wait
Long road to ruin there in your eyes Under the cold streetlights No tomorrow, no dead ends
Long road to ruin there in your eyes Under the cold streetlights No tomorrow, no dead end in sight
For every piece to fall in place Forever gone without a trace Your horizon takes its shape No turning back, don′t turn that page
Come now, I′m leaving here tonight Come now, let′s leave it all behind Is that the price you pay? Running through hell, heaven can wait
Long road to ruin there in your eyes Under the cold streetlights No tomorrow, no dead ends
Long road to ruin there in your eyes Under the cold streetlights No tomorrow, no dead ends
Long road to ruin there in your eyes Under the cold streetlights No tomorrow, no dead end in sight
Seems like only yesterday Life belong to runaways Nothing here to see, no looking back Every sound monotone Every color monocrome Life begin to fade into the black Such a simple animal Steralized with alcohol I could hardly feel me anymore
Desperate, meaningless All filled up with emptiness Felt like everything was said and done
I lay there in the dark, I close my eyes You saved me the day you came alive
Still I try to find my way Spending hours, endin′ days Burning like a flame behind my eyes Drown in out, drink it in Crown the king of suffering Prisoner, slave ′til in the skies Disappeared the only thing Bittersweet surrendering
Knew that it was time to say goodbye
I lay there in the dark and I close my eyes You saved me the day that you came alive The reason you left me to survive You saved me the day you came alive
Come Alive [x33]
I lay there in the dark and I close my eyes You saved me the day that you came alive
Come Alive [x15]
Nothing more to give I can finally come alive Your life into me I can finally breathe Come alive
I lay there in the dark Open my eyes You saved me the day that you came alive
Goddamn this dusty room This hazy afternoon I′m breathing in this silence like never before This feeling that I get This one last cigarette As I lay awake and wait for you to come through that door Oh maybe, maybe, maybe I can share it with you I behave I behave I behave so I can share it with you
You are not alone dear loneliness You forgot but I remember this So stranger, stranger, stranger things have happened I know I′m not alone dear loneliness I forgot that I remember this So stranger, stranger, stranger things have happened I know, oh oh, oh oh
And I dream about somewhere, a smoke will fill the air As I lay awake and wait for you to walk out that door
I can change, I can change, I can change But who you want me to be? I′m the same, I′m the same, I′m the same, what do you want me to be?
You are not alone dear loneliness You forgot but I remember this So stranger, stranger, stranger things have happened I know oh oh, oh oh
I′m not alone dear loneliness I forgot that I remember this You′re not alone dear loneliness You forgot but I remember this Oh stranger, stranger, stranger things have happened I know
I′m not alone dear loneliness I forgot that I remember this Oh stranger, stranger, stranger things have happened I know oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
It was meant to be But all along it never meant a thing Never stopped to ask you why You didn′t pass me by Did you see me in your life? Flash before your eyes Was it just that I wasn′t hard enough Hard enough for you
Stop using my Confusion Wait, wait
There′s a world out there (There′s a world out there) Don′t you deny me (Don′t you deny me) Give me one last wish (Give me one last wish) There′s a world out there
Elementary I solved them all All your mysteries Settle down and in good time We can solve all mine Tell me lies or tell me when Tell me off again I will let you know When I′ve had enough
Had enough of you
Stop using my Confusion Wait, wait
There′s a world out there (There′s a world out there) Don′t you deny me (Don′t you deny me) Give me one last wish (There′s a world out there) There′s a world out there (Don′t you deny me)
I know you′ve got your reasons Hey let′s call it even Turn out all the lights and go to bed Still I get this feeling No one will believe me When I let these ghosts outside my head
There′s a world out there (There′s a world out there) Don′t you deny me (Don′t you deny me) Give me one last wish (Give me one last wish) Don′t you deny me (Don′t you deny me) There′s a world out there (There′s a world out there) Don′t you deny me (Don′t you deny me) Give me one last wish (There′s a world out there) There′s a world out there (Don′t you deny me)
You and I were two old and tortured souls Repaired by a love of broken things In a life, just some bodies growing old No fear of the end, of anything
We′re just ordinary people, you and me Time will turn us into statues, eventually
We got by, though we never needed much A sliver of hope, no diamond rings We got high, it was heaven it was hell Flying over them, with broken wings
We′re just ordinary people, you and me
Time will turn us into statues, eventually Oh, just two ordinary people, you and me Time will turn us into statues, eventually
Our bones forever in stone Monuments of life To dust, as everything must We fade away in time, oh
We′re just ordinary people, you and me Time will turn us into statues, eventually Oh, just two ordinary people, you and me Oh, time will turn us into statues, eventually
Where are you off to with that head of yours? Is there somewhere you should be? Was it something that I said the time I held you down and told you it′s not you it′s only me?
Maybe
Don′t take what I don′t need (Give me back my peace of mind) Don′t say what I don′t need (Give my back my precious time) No way you′ll silence me You′ll see
What you up to now your mirror′s gone? Is there someone you should be? Did you think I was just fooling ′round with you?
But honestly But honestly But honestly
Don′t take what I don′t need (Give me back my peace of mind) Don′t say what I don′t need (Give me back my precious time) No way you′ll silence me (Give me back my peace and quiet) Nowhere to hide from me You′ll see
And tonight I thank the stars As I count my lucky scars For everything you′ve given me
And all the wants I gave to you Something borrowed, something blue If you want them back I′ll give it to you
wish i were with you i couldn′t stay every direction leads me away pray for tomorrow, but for today all i want, is to be home
stand in the mirror, you look the same just looking for shelter, from cold and from pain someone to cover, safe from the rain all i want, is to be home
echoes and silence, patience and grace all of these moments i′ll never replace No fear of my heart absence of faith all i want, is to be home
all i want, is to be home
people i′ve loved, have no regrets some might remember, some might forget some of them livin′, some of them dead all i want, is to be home
