Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Nick Average	#1 by Nick at Jun 7, 1977 at 7:04 PM EST
	Ok- we were All wrong-check this out: "The song, which was written in January 2000, addresses two emotional issues that affected frontman Chad Kroeger during the creation of the track. The first was the loss of his grandmother, who passed away a few days before he started writing the lyrics. "I was just really unimpressed with the way the whole funeral took place," he said recently. "I felt it could have been handled a lot better. It was in this really small town where she met my grandfather and they started the family. That's why the song goes, 'I paid my last respects this morning on an early grave/ Already said goodbye, nothing left to say/ A tiny church, a tiny town and not a tear was spent/ Not how I wanted it, I'm hating all of this.' " "Woke Up This Morning" also addresses Kroeger's ex-girlfriend Jodi, who was the subject of the band's first smash hit, "How You Remind Me." After dealing with the pain of attending his grandmother's funeral, the singer had to return back home to his dysfunctional relationship. "That's where the next lines [in the song] come from," Kroeger said, " 'I've been a loser all my life, I'm not about to change/ If you don't like it there's the door, nobody made you stay/ Ain't a woman on the planet who can deal with this/ Not how I wanted it, I'm hating all of this.' " The whole thing's about a month in my life when I felt like sh-- when I woke up in the morning."

No Picture Derek Wanna Be	#2 by Derek Lane at Mar 22, 1979 at 11:43 AM EST
	It seems to be about someone who is in a realtionship w/ someone and not wanting to let them in and be happy w/ themselves

No Picture Lauren Rhythm Player	#3 by Lauren A at Feb 13, 1980 at 1:16 PM EST
	I luv Nickelback, but I havta say, I think Chad may have been suicidal.

No Picture Tyler Wanna Be	#4 by Tyler Marshall at Jul 14, 1982 at 5:20 PM EST
	still, i love this song... it reminds me of me... i used to be all depressed and suicidal...

No Picture SaM Lead Player	#5 by SaM at Apr 2, 1985 at 2:03 PM EST
	I definately don't think Chad was suicidal. I just think it's about someone who has trouble expressing how they feel and someone who doesn't know how to deal with pain well so they avoid putting themselves in situations where they might get hurt. But then then they meet someone who "came along and tore this wall down around me, looks like you found me." and they realize what they have been doing, hiding from their feelings, they could end up alone like the person that was buried.

No Picture bob Rhythm Player	#6 by bob at May 7, 1989 at 2:16 PM EST
	I don't know about anyone else, but does this song remind you of September 11? As some of you hardcore Nickelback fans may know, their CD came out on that day. I bought it that day, brought it home and listened to it nonstop as I did my homework. Out of all the songs on the CD, I think the general mood 'Woke Up This Morning' created, best represented the anguish of that day. For me, it will always symbolize Terrible Tuesday.

No Picture CJ+182 Rhythm Player	#7 by CJ+182 at Sep 13, 1992 at 10:26 PM EST
	it kinda reminds me of a close friend of mine that committed suicide a few months ago.... depressing, but no matter how hard i try i still listen to it all the time

No Picture Krystal Average	#8 by Krystal at Mar 21, 1993 at 9:23 PM EST
	I don't really seee this song as suicidal, because I can kind of relate to it. It sounds like he lost someone close to him and it hurts him everyday, but no one can understand his pain, not even those closest to him. It's lonely, but sometimes a person can seek solitute, without wanting to kill themselves.

No Picture Daniel Average	#9 by Daniel at Sep 28, 1994 at 8:45 AM EST
	To me it means that no matter who comes along that he'll never have any faith in himself. It's really sad.

No Picture ramon. Average	#10 by ramon. at Mar 27, 1995 at 10:27 AM EST
	To me, it's about someone who has always been hiding their feelings and anger and is basically all alone in the world. Always very depressed, but they meet someone who really tries to see who they really are. (Did that make sense?)
