The Fool
Closure in Moscow Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

And now we find the fool cantankerously pant-less and laughing on the apex of his own lonely ape-shit holiday
He 5D polygon off the meta-trail, straight up marooned
Can't you see it's backwash revelry?

It's a new day for the fool today
Kick it off with old habits and licking cunt for kicks
He wants a big ol' slice of heaven, but he can't see past the pie
Watch him try

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Closure in Moscow's song "The Fool" portray a character who is feeling lost and disconnected from reality. The fool is described as being "pant-less and laughing" on his own "lonely ape-shit holiday," suggesting that he has become detached from society and is indulging in his own self-destructive behavior. The use of the term "5D polygon off the meta-trail" further emphasizes this sense of disconnection, as it suggests that the fool is now living outside the norms of the world he once knew.

Despite his apparent detachment, the fool still yearns for something more. He "wants a big ol' slice of heaven," but is unable to see past the immediate pleasure of his own indulgences. The line "watch him try" suggests that the fool is aware of his own shortcomings, but is unable to overcome them.

In many ways, "The Fool" can be read as a metaphor for modern society's disconnection from the natural world and our own sense of purpose. The fool's struggles to find meaning and purpose in his own life reflect the larger struggles of society as a whole to reconcile our technological advancements with our basic human needs and desires.

A new chance for the fool to start over and change his ways

He wants a big ol' slice of heaven, but he can't see past the pie
