So Foolish
Come Clean Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm holding onto anything to read between the lines.
It's not complete apathy, I know I hardly try
To reconcile anything, to stop changing my mind and just forget.
It's changing me, I'm choking on my pride.
I'm blinded by the irony, this mess I call my life.
I don't need this sympathy, I know I'm not alright.I hide this shit inside of me, so easy to reside in self loathing.
Stuck in my head and it's crowded.
I sing the words but I'm choking up.
I said the worst and I'm sorry for all of this.
I'm standing tall but I'm drowning.
Just waking up and it's pouring out.
I said the worst and I'm sorry.
I'm wondering if this even feels right.
Not making sense of anything, I see it in my eyes.
It's a bland apology, atleast I fucking tried.
Just listening to anything I thought would free my mind but it's hopeless.
Stuck in my head and it's crowded.
I sing the words but I'm choking up.
I said the worst and I'm sorry for all of this.
I'm standing tall but I'm drowning.
Just waking up and it's pouring out.
I said the worst and I'm sorry.
I'm holding onto something.
This feeling's not comforting.
I'm still finding it hard to sing.
I dont know what's wrong with me.
In "So Foolish," the lyrics articulate a profound struggle with internal conflict, illustrating the singer's feelings of frustration and confusion in navigating their emotions and the complexities of life. The opening lines depict a recurring dilemma where the singer feels trapped in a cycle of misunderstanding and self-deception. The phrase "It's fooling me, it happens every time" captures the essence of being ensnared by patterns of behavior that lead one to cling onto ambiguous situations, desperately trying to uncover hidden truths yet falling short of genuine clarity. This sense of futility is mirrored in the admission of apathy and a reluctance to confront the underlying issues, showcasing a struggle between the desire for change and a propensity to remain stagnant.
As the song progresses, the theme of self-reflection deepens, particularly emphasizing the paradox of pride and vulnerability. The lyrics convey a sense of choking on pride, where the singer acknowledges their shortcomings and the futility of their circumstances. The irony of the situation, described as "this mess I call my life," highlights how self-awareness may not always translate into positive action. Rather than seeking sympathy, the singer finds solace in their self-loathing, which serves as a protective barrier against confronting painful truths. This internal conflict not only illustrates a deep sense of dissatisfaction but also the complexities of managing one's identity amidst societal expectations and personal struggles.
The chorus further encapsulates the internal chaos as the singer feels overwhelmed. Phrases like "Stuck in my head and it's crowded" poignantly convey the sensation of mental clutter, where feelings and thoughts become entangled, making it difficult to articulate oneself. Singing becomes emblematic of both expression and struggle; while there is an attempt to communicate feelings through music, the phrasing "I'm choking up" suggests that vulnerability is met with an emotional barrier. The contrast between standing tall yet feeling as though one is drowning serves to reflect the complexity of maintaining a façade of strength while being overwhelmed internally by mounting feelings of inadequacy and regret.
In the latter verses, a sense of resignation permeates the narrative as the singer questions the validity of their feelings and struggles to comprehend the situation at hand. The line about a "bland apology" conveys the sense that even efforts to amend past mistakes often feel hollow or insincere, emphasizing the bitterness of the experience. Despite grasping for whatever might liberate them, the conclusion remains one of hopelessness. The lyrics culminate in the acknowledgment of feeling disconnected from oneself, with an unresolved yearning for understanding, which resonates deeply with listeners grappling with their own narratives of confusion, regret, and the burden of unacknowledged emotions. Ultimately, this song opens a window to the fragile nature of human experience, touching upon themes of identity, vulnerability, and the oftentimes contradictory nature of personal growth.

Seeing the thumbnail I thought it was gonna be some blue collar Midwest music, and then hearing the D-beat and riffage made my punk heart happy. Had no idea what I was going into, but I’m glad I found this.
