Statues
Foo Fighters · Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace [2007]
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

As part of their discography following the success of In utero, the recording reflects Dave Grohl's continued experimentation with texture and dynamics while maintaining the band's core identity. The track has become a staple of their live performances, often serving as a powerful closer that highlights the group's technical proficiency and emotional depth within the alternative metal and hard rock genres.
