Fool on the Hill
Brasil '66 Lyrics

Day after day alone on the hill,
Every day the man is by himself on the hill, isolated from others.

The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still,
The man appears foolish with his constant smile, yet he remains still and motionless.

But nobody wants to know him,
No one is interested in getting to know the man on the hill.

They can see that he's just a fool,
To the casual observer, the man seems foolish and unimportant.

And he never gives an answer,
The man does not respond to questions or engage in conversation.

But the fool on the hill Sees the sun going down,
Despite his isolation and ostracization, the man is still able to enjoy the simple beauty of nature.

And the eyes in his head, See the world spinning around.
The man is introspective and contemplative, observing the world around him with great curiosity.

Well on his way his head in a cloud,
The man is lost in thought and daydreams, not fully present in the moment.

The man of a thousand voices talking percetly loud
Despite his silence in person, the man's mind is constantly active, full of ideas and thoughts that he cannot express.

But nobody ever hears him,
No one around the man acknowledges or listens to his internal musings and contemplations.

Or the sound he appears to make,
Even though he is making noise inside his head, no one else can hear it or understand it.

And he never seems to notice,
Despite his isolation and lack of recognition, the man remains unbothered and unfazed.

But the fool on the hill, Nobody seems to like him They can tell what he wants to do.
People do not like or understand the man, but they still try to assume what his motivations and intentions are.

And he never shows his feelings,
The man keeps his thoughts and emotions internal, unwilling to share with others.

But the fool on the hill
Despite his social rejection and marginalization, the man remains content with his own company and his own thoughts.
