Meaning

The song's meaning was hinted in a Canadian Television interview. It was mentioned that it was about personal fights between people, and those people breaking apart, and that the fights are meaningless overall.[2] Further speculation leads to Grohl's forbearance between Courtney Love, and Kurt Cobain (Grohl's former bandmate from Nirvana and Love's husband)'s relationship, drug use, and financial arrangements. Grohl indirectly admitted to the song being about Courtney Love in an interview in 2007.[3]

Live performances

The song was a staple on the Echoes, Silence, Patience, and Grace tour. It was also played often on the Wasting Light tour but was dropped in 2012. It was not played again until the Concrete and Gold tour in 2017, where it has been played occasionally.[4]
