What's this song about...?

At first I was thinking "mm, maybe reminiscent of Cobain" (Dave Grohl, vocalist and guitarist for Foo, drummed for Nirvana from '90-'94), but...the album was releast in like 2002 I think...

So I'm thinking more, and I'm kind of leaning on "performing oral sex on a female"

What do you guys think?


Lyrics--


All my life I’ve been searching for somethin’
Somethin’ never comes, never leads to nuthin’
Nothin’ satisfies, but I’m gettin’ close
Closer to the prize at the end of the rope

All night long I dream of the day
When it comes around, and it’s takin’away
Leaves me with the feelin’ that I fear the most
Feel it come to life when I see your ghost

Calm down, don’t you resist
Your such a delicate rist
And if I give it a twist
Somethin’ to hold when I lose my grip

Will I find something in there,
To give it just what it needs
Another reason to bleed
One by one, hidden up my sleeve

One by one, hidden up my sleeve

[3x]
Hey, don’t let it go to waste
I love it but, I hate that taste
Weight keeping me down

Will I find the believer
Another one who believes
Another one to decieve
Over and over, down on my knees

If I get any closer, i
And if you open up wide
And if you let me inside
On and on, I’ve got nuthin’ to hide

On and on I’ve got nuthin’ to hide

[3x]
Hey, don’t let it go to waste
I love it but, I hate that taste
Weight keeping me down

All my life I’ve been searching for somethin’
Somethin’ never comes, never leads to nuthin’
Nothin’ satisfies, but I’m gettin’ close
Closer to the prize at the end of the rope

All night long I dream of the day
When it comes around, and it’s takin’away
Leaves me with the feelin’ that I feel the most
Feel it come to life when I see your ghost

Done, done; on to the next one
Done, done, and I’m on to the next one
Done, done, and I’m on to the next one
Done, done, and I’m on to the next one

Done, done, and I’m on to the next one
[2x]
Done, done, and I’m on the next one
Done, I’m done, and I’m on to the next

[3x]
Done, done; on the next one

Done, I’m done; I’m on to the next one

[3x]
Hey, don’t let it go to waste
I love it but , I hate that taste
Weight keeping me down

[2x]
Done, done; on the next one

Done, I’m done; I’m on to the next

I'm going with: it's not about anything and he just welded a bunch of song ideas together.

EDIT: WRONG.

Despite not knowing much nor caring much about the Foo Fighters, I found info. The glorious Google has led me to this:

Neo, this thread is for a discussion of the meaning.

look at the link, dude. it basically says you're right.

That's not the point.

EDIT: dude.

How? This is about meaning, and it tells you what the song means.

Err, isn't that what the link I posted was about?

What do you guys think?
That site is simply a discussion about what it could possibly mean, and it's not necessarily fact that what the top person claims Grohl said is necessarily what he said.
What I'm looking for is a discussion here (with NSers, becuse I'm interested in their opinions). If you don't want to discuss, then just leave...it's not that difficult, really.

OK, no problem, I misinterpeted what you were asking for i.e. discussion, as opposed to an answer. See y'all.

I always though of Axl Rose....
