Too Cool
Bel Heir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't
Look up, look down, look all around
Do you remember what the view's like from the ground
You're up on top you're guarding me
But what goes around also comes around
You've got time, time, time on your hands
But you're dead, dead, right where you stand
Cause you don't got time for anyone
Can't find time for anyone
Talk, talk, talk a big game
But you ain't got nothing to say, and you
Just too good for everyone
Way too cool for everyone
Your money, your name, is all you are
But you should know it ain't written in the stars, yeah
You think you've got it figured out
But soon you made just another face in the crowd
You got time, time, time on your hands
But you're dead, dead, right where you stand
Cause you don't got time for anyone
Can't find time for anyone
Talk, talk, talk a big game
But you ain't got nothing to say, and you
Just too good for everyone
Way too cool for everyone
Never gonna break
Never gonna fall
This is what you think
This is what you are
This is what you are
Nothing but a fake
But a fool at heart
Who you gonna be
What you gonna do
When it's all nothing
Don't got time for anyone
Don't got time for anyone
Nothing but a fake
But a fool at heart
Who you gonna be
What you gonna do
When it's all nothing
You got time, time, time on your hands
But you're dead, dead, right where you stand
Cause you don't got time for anyone
Can't find time for anyone
Talk, talk, talk a big game
But you ain't got nothing to say, and you
Just too good for everyone
Way too cool for everyone
Don't got time for anyone
Don't got time for anyone
Don't got time for anyone
Don't got time for anyone
Don't
Don't
Bel Heir's song "Too Cool" speaks about a person who is consumed with their own self-image and doesn't care about anyone else. The person is at the top of the social ladder, but in reality, they are nothing but a fake. The song opens by asking a question to this person to recall how the view was like from the ground- the view has changed now since they are on top, but the ground remembers them. The person is acting as a guard but doesn't realize that whatever they do will come back. The lyrics also bring out the point that this person has time on their hands but is dead right where they stand since they cannot find time for anyone.
Further, the song highlights that the person talks a big game but doesn't have anything to say. The person thinks that they are too good for everyone and way too cool for anyone. However, in reality, the song describes that they are nothing but a fake and a fool at heart. The person believes that they will never break or fall, but in reality, they are just living in their own delusion. This person only cares about their money and name, and they believe that their fate has already been determined. But the reality is that they will soon become another face in the crowd.
In conclusion, the song "Too Cool" by Bel Heir speaks of a person who is self-obsessed and doesn't care about anyone else. They live in their own self-centered bubble and believe that they are too good for everyone while, in reality, they are nothing but a fake and a fool at heart.
