Learn to Fly Lyrics
This could take all night
Think I need a devil to help me get things right
Hook me up a new revolution
Cause this one is a lie
We sat around laughing and watched the last one die
And I'm looking to the...

#1 top rated interpretation:According to Dave Grohl, it's about looking for inspiration and things that make you feel alive, be they good or bad.

As a musician, I can relate this song to a lack of inspiration.
Hes searching for his muse
"Run and tell all of the angels
This could take all night
Think I need a devil to help me
Get things right" - I can't write a thing, I Need inspiration
Maybe the "Hook me up a new Revolution" part is talking about how he feels this genre, or "revolution" has died, or is just no good for him. "We sat around laughin and watch the last one die" We took this as a joke, and had fun as we watched other bands disappear.
The Chorus is very obvious. He desperately looks for inspiration, looking to the sky, looking for stuff in his head (sign of life) looking for something help him blast his ideas off his head.
"Looking for a complication, looking cause im tired of trying" he's so sick of not writing anything good, he seeks for something to distract him from doing that.
"Make my way back home when I learn to fly" I'm going to bed/home when i finish this shit.
"Think I'm done nursing the patience
I can wait one night
I'd give it all away
If you give me one last try" He's tired, he won't write anything till tomorrow, but then...
"We live happily ever trapped
If you just save my life
Run and tell the angels
That everything is all right" He finds his muse, a girl, and everythings fine.
Finally, the "Fly along with me, I cant quite make it alone, I try to make this life my own" part, is about how he can't finish his song, without her, and needs her in his life.
