April's Fool
Angel Haze Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dead skin on the flesh of your halo
Drunk love on the breath of an angel
Time frozen in the ash from your blunt
And you breathe like you had life trapped in your lungs
And you wanted escape, and I wanted to take
Every thought from your mind and just throw it away
I've deflowered your soul
You a seed that I planted with a thought of a rose
And I thought I'd impose if I ever had the energy
And I would save somebody if I ever had the memory
I cleared up some space and invited you in
You were brown and I tried to make you violet again
And I brought out the sun and the violence of wind
And I tore off your thorns and they died in my skin
Yeah
And I watched you, become beautiful
It's funny what the dirt does, when it's suitable
I don't mind being April's fool
The flowers came when the rain made you
Honest hours having spent with few
But I'll be April's fool for you and
I'm April's fool
And a rose grew from the concrete with a heartbeat
And I took you to the grass and made its bed
Then I bathed you in my love until it sprouted
And I'll never get the thought out of my head
I'm April's fool
Yo
Freeze frame cause the view is so cinematic
And the opening to you was so hemorrhagic
But my first mistake was thinkin it was easy
And that you'd love me if I really let you see me
Deep thoughts in the abyss of your brain cells
One shot to wherever your pain's held
And it became something I'd never seen before
And now my heart too small to beat for anything but yours
Though my perception's is varied as your shade change
And the burdens gettin heavier than weight gain
And we kept swallowing the sun until the shade came
And kept on knockin on the clouds until we made rain
All the flowers in the garden share the same range
And a rose by any color share the same name
But I love you in a way that will not cease
'Cause you're hideous in ways I cannot see
I don't mind being April's fool
The flowers came when the rain made you
Honest hours having spent with few
But I'll be April's fool for you and
I'm April's fool
If we take the flowers stem and walk into the rainbow
Remember to water them and watch how quickly they grow
But as quick as clouds come in and drown them in the rain so
We can take the potters and anoint them with the same ho
And a rose grew from the concrete with a heartbeat
And I took you to the grass and made its bed
Then I bathed you in my love until you sprouted
And I'll never get the thought out of my head
I'm April's fool
The lyrics to Angel Haze's song "April's Fool" speak of a complex relationship between two people, where one person is experiencing a sense of growth and rejuvenation, while the other is struggling to confront their own deep-seated pain. The opening lines of the song juxtapose the beautiful, ethereal aspects of an angelic being with the harsh reality of dead skin on their halo and the scent of drunk love on their breath. The singer then notes that time is frozen in the ash of a blunt, which emphasizes the temporary nature of this moment of growth and transformation.
As the song progresses, there is a sense of peril, with the singer noting that they want to "throw away" the other person's thoughts and "deflower" their soul, as if they are trying to force them into a shape that they find more palatable. However, there is also a sense of tenderness and care, with the singer describing themselves as a gardener who waters and nurtures the other person as they grow. The singer notes that they will become an April's fool for this person, which could be interpreted as a willingness to be vulnerable and to take risks for the sake of love, even if it means being made a fool of.
The final verse of the song speaks of the flowers in a garden sharing a similar range, and notes that a rose by any color shares the same name. This could be taken as a metaphor for the universality of human experience, and how regardless of our external differences, we all ultimately want to be loved and accepted for who we are. The song ends on a note of hope, with the singer noting that they will never forget this moment of transformation and growth, even if it means being a fool for April.
Line by Line Meaning
Dead skin on the flesh of your halo
Your supposed goodness is marred by the imperfections that you try to hide
Drunk love on the breath of an angel
Your love feels intoxicating and almost unreal, but there is an underlying sadness that I can sense
Time frozen in the ash from your blunt
We are stuck in this moment of numbness and seeking escape through drugs, unable to move forward or make meaningful connections
And you breathe like you had life trapped in your lungs
Your breathing is labored, as if you are trying to hold on to something that is slipping away
And you wanted escape, and I wanted to take
You were looking for a way out, and I saw an opportunity to rescue you
Every thought from your mind and just throw it away
I wanted to relieve you of your burdens, to help you find peace by removing your troubles
As I've watered you've grown
As I nurtured and cared for you, you have begun to flourish and become more vibrant
I've deflowered your soul
I have taken away your innocence and exposed you to the harsh realities of life
You a seed that I planted with a thought of a rose
When I first met you, I saw the potential for beauty within you, even when you did not see it in yourself
And I thought I'd impose if I ever had the energy
I knew that the process of helping you grow and heal would be difficult, but I was willing to try if I had the strength
And I would save somebody if I ever had the memory
If I could remember the emotions and experiences from my past, I would use them to help others in need
I cleared up some space and invited you in
I made room in my life and heart for you, hoping that you would stay and be a part of my world
You were brown and I tried to make you violet again
You had lost your vibrancy and beauty due to the trials in your life, and I wanted to help you regain your confidence and spirit
And I brought out the sun and the violence of wind
I used my power and strength to help you overcome your obstacles, like the sun and wind change the landscape
And I tore off your thorns and they died in my skin
I protected you from harm, even when it caused me pain and damage
The flowers came when the rain made you
Your struggles and hardships were the catalysts for your growth and eventual beauty
Honest hours having spent with few
We have been honest and vulnerable with each other, even though we have not let many others into our inner worlds
But I'll be April's fool for you and
I am willing to risk my heart and my sanity for you, even if it seems foolish to others
And a rose grew from the concrete with a heartbeat
Even in harsh conditions or where it seems impossible, there is still potential for growth and beauty
And I took you to the grass and made its bed
I connected you with nature and the earth, hoping to ground you and give you strength
Then I bathed you in my love until it sprouted
I showered you with affection and attention until you began to heal and thrive
If we take the flowers stem and walk into the rainbow
If we take something ordinary and immerse it in something magical, it can become extraordinary
Remember to water them and watch how quickly they grow
Even small efforts can have a major impact on growth and success
But as quick as clouds come in and drown them in the rain so
Just as success can come quickly, it can also be fleeting and taken away just as fast
And we kept swallowing the sun until the shade came
We pushed ourselves to the limit, but eventually the darkness and struggle caught up to us
And kept on knockin on the clouds until we made rain
We kept trying to overcome our problems, even when it seemed impossible
All the flowers in the garden share the same range
Even though we come from different backgrounds and experiences, we still share many similarities
And a rose by any color share the same name
We may look different on the surface, but we all share the same humanity and emotions
But I love you in a way that will not cease
My love for you is unconditional and never-ending
'Cause you're hideous in ways I cannot see
You have unseen flaws and insecurities, but they do not diminish my love and affection for you
