Fool
Dead By Sunday Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You wear you sunglasses in
side it's 66 degrees
And your bad attitude
Is fucking ugly but I'm
Drawn in by it either way, either way
Don't make a fool of yourself
I made a fool of myself
'Cause I've waited always waited but
You were already gone
Oh no
You made a fool of me
You took my heart and drenched it
Covered in gasoline
And threw a match to light it
You made a tool of me, yeah
To build your castle tall and
Mighty then you let me rot outside your walls
Well don't make a fool of yourself
I think I've waited too long
I made a fool of myself
'Cause I've waited always waited but
You were already gone
Oh yeah
Don't make a fool of yourself
I think I've waited too long
I made a fool of myself
'Cause I've waited always waited but
You were already gone
The lyrics to Dead By Sunday's song "Fool" depict a story of someone who is attracted to another person despite their negative qualities. The first verse sets the scene with the singer observing the person they're interested in maintaining a cool demeanor while wearing sunglasses inside, even though it's unnecessary. The mention of the "bad attitude" being "fucking ugly" suggests that this person is not particularly pleasant to be around, yet the singer is inexplicably drawn to them.
The chorus reflects the singer's realization that they have been foolishly waiting for this person, only to find out that they were already gone. The repetition of "Don't make a fool of yourself" implies that the singer is cautioning themselves not to continue pursuing this person, as they have likely wasted too much time already. However, the line "I made a fool of myself" acknowledges that they fell into the trap of waiting for someone who never reciprocated their feelings.
The second verse introduces the idea that the person the singer was interested in manipulated and used them. Described as taking the singer's heart and drenching it in gasoline, they then set it on fire. This metaphor suggests that the person intentionally harmed the singer emotionally. The line "You made a tool of me" further emphasizes this manipulation, implying that the person used the singer to achieve their own goals, only to discard them afterwards.
The chorus is repeated once more, reinforcing the idea that the singer has wasted their time waiting for someone who was not worth it. The line "You were already gone" signifies that the person had moved on while the singer was still holding onto hope. The repetition of the chorus highlights the self-awareness of the singer, acknowledging their own foolishness in allowing themselves to be treated this way.
Overall, "Fool" conveys a story of unrequited love and manipulation. It reflects the internal struggle of being drawn to someone who possesses negative qualities and the consequences of investing too much in someone who ultimately takes advantage of the singer's feelings.

@bsoprano2123
This is a great video. It seem like when you listen to Trade, Roddy, and Spitta' current work it makes you want to go back and listen to their old work. You want to go back to Issue 1 and 2 and Good sense 1 and Pilot Talk and and just to see the origins of this fly shit and how authentic it is
