Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ooh
Ooh woo whoa
Ooh
You never cried among us
You never lost your cool
Never was around here
You hold it in till the end
You never tried to find us, nope
You never showed up first
The only God around here
And I'll follow you to the edge
Ooh woo whoa
Ooh
Ooh woo whoa
Ooh
Everybody's someone, right!
Even fall for them
'Cause they're all on vacation
To you, to you
But that was so cool
You were all original
You built that fire just for the show
You're everything to me
I wanted you to show me
T hat there was more out there
Past the wide open spaces
Somehow, somewhere
That was so long ago
You were all original
You Built that fire just for the show
You're everything to me
Ooh, that was long ago
You would offer the original
You built that fire just for the show
An accidental king
I'm down in love
I'm in love
I'm in love
I'm in love
The song "I'm In Love" by Fool's Gold is a tribute to someone who at some point in the past, was everything to the singer. The song begins by talking about how this person never cried, never lost their cool, and always held things in until the end. This person never tried to find the singer nor be the first to show up, but they were the only God around, and the singer will follow them to the edge. This shows deep admiration and respect for the person being described despite their flaws.
The second part of the song describes how everyone is someone and how the referenced person was different. They were unique and had built a fire for the show. Whether it was intentional or not, they became an accidental king that was everything to the singer. The chorus reaffirms the deep affection the singer feels by repeating “I’m in love” four times.
The song essentially speaks to the singer's feelings towards an individual who was different but made them feel special. The song could be interpreted as a love song for a person or for an idea or memory. The lyrics could be a messaging that it’s easy to be different, but it takes someone special to make people feel special despite that difference.
