Foo Fighters: X-Static Meaning

X-Static Lyrics

leading everything along
never far from being wrong
nevermind these things at all
it's nothing

couldn't find a way to you
seems that's all I ever do
turning up in black and blue
rewarded

all the static we all left

wait until the time has...

   It's quite literally throughout about the art of getting by, - living life just to get along, even if you think of relatively important things like love - which he views pessimistically rewards him("couldn't find a way to you seems that's all I ever do turning up in black and blue, - rewarded") and success - which he views hopefully, ("wish I would've felt I've won for once"). But he doesn't ever even try, and he keeps lingering on for that that something that never comes. Static represents the energy in the person, and that it has been thrown away "all the static, we all left". "leaving all my senses numb
   is heaven" - Shows that the person isn't comfortable with reality and that's the reason he ends up just 'getting by', and just hoping reality would unveil it's importance to him, even though he never gives it a chance to(by acting on it,etc).It's quite literally throughout about the art of getting by, - living life just to get along, even if you think of relatively important things like love - which he views pessimistically rewards him("couldn't find a way to you seems that's all I ever do turning up in black and blue, - rewarded") and success - which he views hopefully, ("wish I would've felt I've won for once").

"lifted up the fay to seen anything could never be anything but play to me in order" - The person views "fay" /tenser things of life to be something that holds him back and in turn, he takes everything/anything for "play" then what it truly is.
   "take it back for them to keep fallen into something deep not that I had made that leap... Annointed" He's knack of just getting by and not minding life, makes him view that others get to keep the things he wants, and then he feels bad and "deep" only to be reminded that he didn't deserve it because there was no "leap" by him and that makes mends him back to his "never minding" self by being"annointed". It's just my understanding of it all, and I couldn't resist because this is just such a deep like song that sounds unlike others. A personal favorite, and I can just sympathize with the lyrics. Very valuable and meaningful song.
