Your Fool
69 Chambers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A hundred denials we won’t even mention
Now I’m in bed, in bed with a lie
Won’t you say goodnight to your
Fool fool fool fool I’m your
Fool fool, there’s nothing I can do
I feel just like a fool
A pocket full of whys, reasons to mend ties
A list of excuses to bridge the divide
I fell in love with a tainted smile
Won’t you sing lullabies to your
Fool fool fool fool I’m your
Fool fool, there’s nothing I can do
I feel just like a fool
I’m your, I’m your, I’m your whore
Fool fool fool fool I’m your
Fool fool, there’s nothing I can do
I feel just like a fool
Now I’m in bed with a lie
Won’t you come say good-bye
To your fool, to your toy, to your bitch
To your fool, to your toy, your idiot
In "Your Fool," 69 Chambers explores the complex emotions and thoughts of someone who is deeply in love and deeply unhappy. The lyrics suggest that the singer is struggling with indecision and denial - although they have a hundred questions and denials they won't even mention, they still find themselves in bed with a lie. They feel like a fool, unable to escape the grasp of their toxic relationship. The lyrics also explore feelings of being used and degraded, as the final lines suggest that the singer is being treated like a whore, a toy, and an idiot by the person they love.
Overall, the song is a powerful depiction of the pain and confusion that can come with a love that is not healthy or sustainable. The lyrics show how we can often feel trapped in relationships that we know are not good for us, and how difficult it can be to extricate ourselves from these situations.

A hundred questions, indecisions
I'm unsure and hesitant, with too many unanswered queries
A hundred denials we won’t even mention
I've rejected so many things, we don't even need to bring them up
Now I’m in bed, in bed with a lie
I've got a falsehood wrapped around me, but can't let it go
Won’t you say goodnight to your
Can't you at least acknowledge me, even though I'm your fool?
Fool fool fool fool I’m your
I'm your idiot, your plaything, your toy
Fool fool, there’s nothing I can do
I'm powerless, stuck in my role as your fool
I feel just like a fool
I'm embarrassed, ashamed of myself
A pocket full of whys, reasons to mend ties
I want to fix things, I have reasons to reconcile
A list of excuses to bridge the divide
I've got explanations to try and make amends
I fell in love with a tainted smile
I was drawn in by someone whose intentions weren't pure
Won’t you sing lullabies to your
Can't you placate me, sing some sweet songs to your fool?
I’m your, I’m your, I’m your whore
I'm degraded, used up, like someone being paid for sex
Now I’m in bed with a lie
I'm trapped with my falsehood, can't escape it
Won’t you come say good-bye
Can't you give me some closure, say goodbye to your fool?
To your fool, to your toy, to your bitch
I'm your plaything, your object, your objectified woman
To your fool, to your toy, your idiot
I'm still here, stuck in my role as your fool
