Fool's Gold
Adrienne Pierce Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's too, too many
Too many of us
Everyone's hoping to be the one
spun straw into gold and outshine the sun
It's fools gold glowing
Nothing is growing
It's fools gold glowing
nothing is flowing
we're just seagulls pulling at scraps
Leave, gotta leave today
get far away from, far from the madding crowd
It's turning grey, gotta leave today now
For the black clouds
No longer hoping to be the one
spun straw, into gold and outshine the sun
Don't need golden fleece
Just give me some peace
Gonna learn to see what's in front of me
I want to give
I want to give not take
Everything seems so fake
Maybe it's just too loud
Maybe I am just too proud
Trying to get far, far from the madding crowd
Can't seem to catch a break
Everything seems so fake
Everything seems so fake
And everyone's hoping to be the one
Spun, straw into gold and outshine the sun
The song "Fool's Gold" by Adrienne Pierce is about the disillusionment that comes with pursuing fame and fortune. The first verse talks about the overwhelming number of people who want to be successful, with everyone hoping to turn "straw into gold" and outshine everyone else. The chorus describes the emptiness of this pursuit, with nothing real or worthwhile coming from chasing "fool's gold." The second verse acknowledges the exhaustion that comes with this lifestyle, with the singer wanting to leave it all behind and find some peace. The song ends by returning to the idea of everyone hoping to be the one, reminding us that even though many people want the same thing, it doesn't necessarily mean that any of them will achieve it.
The lyrics are poetic and insightful, with the imagery of "spun straw into gold" creating a vivid mental picture of the hope and desperation that comes with pursuing success. Pierce's use of repetition in the chorus also reinforces the central idea of the song, driving home the point that chasing superficial goals will only lead to disappointment. Overall, "Fool's Gold" is a thoughtful exploration of the human desire for success, and the toll that this pursuit can take on our mental and emotional wellbeing.

Tuve que descargar el capítulo entero y usar Shazam en el monólogo final. Valió la pena.
