Soon after this session, the band broke up, with Bergman and Solomon moving to England, and Wilkinson moving to Nelson. Vocalist Paul Blanchard went solo as Hog Haul Valentine.

Fool
Canis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is love, and please
I'm not the man you know before
I have changed, a better man
Sorry I just wanna say
I wanna thank you for today
Who I am hates who I've been
I can wait
But nothing's gonna change
This is not another fool I am
I don't care
No more
This is not about the word
This is love, and please
I'm not the man you know before
I care about my sin no more
The lyrics to Canis's song "Fool" seem to be about personal growth and transformation. The singer acknowledges that they were not a good person before, but they have changed and become a better version of themselves. They express gratitude towards someone who may have helped them in this process and express that they no longer care about their past mistakes or sins. The chorus seems to emphasize that the singer is done being a fool and will not continue to make the same mistakes.
The line "This is not about the word" may refer to the idea that actions speak louder than words. The singer may be saying that they want to show their change through their actions, rather than just talking about it. The repetition of "I care about my sin no more" suggests that the singer is releasing feelings of guilt or shame about their past behavior, and is moving on to a more positive outlook on life.
Overall, the song is about personal growth, forgiveness, and taking responsibility for one's actions. It presents a hopeful message that people can change for the better and become their best selves.
