Fools
Anna F. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the end it all gone
Everybody knows it is it just a kissaway
In the end it all gone
Don't know why we're fighting
Forgotten why we started
Doesn't matter who is right
Everybody knows it but we never say it
We're fools
We can't see what's right in front of us
We're fools
We'll die lonely
Everyone is smiling hiding when we're losing
Facing what we can't deny
Everybody knows it but we never say it
See it in each others eyes
We're fools
We can't see what's right in front of us
We're fools
We'll die lonely
We're fools
Please try to hold me
Your Shadow's in the dark
Your Shadow's in the dark
It's over at the start
We're fools
We can't see what's right in front of us
We're fools
We'll die lonely
We're fools
We can't touch what's right in front of us
We're fools
Please try to hold me
The song "Fools" by Anna F. is a melancholic reflection on a relationship that is on the brink of collapse. The opening lines of the song suggest that everyone knows what is going to happen, that the end is inevitable, but they just won't acknowledge it. The lines "everybody knows it but we never say it, see it in each other's eyes" convey a sense of resignation and acceptance that the end is near. This is further emphasized in lines like "we're fools, we can't see what's right in front of us, we'll die lonely" which depict the characters in the song as being aware of their situation but unable to do anything about it.
The song speaks to the human tendency to deny reality, to cling on to hope in the face of impossible odds. The lines "everyone is smiling, hiding when we're losing, facing what we can't deny" suggest that people often put on a brave face even when they know that things aren't going well, and that this can make it harder for them to move on.
The final lines of the song, "we're fools, we can't touch what's right in front of us, we're fools, please try to hold me" convey a sense of longing and desperation for the relationship to work out, but also an acceptance that it probably won't.
Overall, "Fools" is a poignant and introspective song that speaks to the complexities of relationships and human emotions. It is a reminder that sometimes the hardest thing to do is to let go.
