Fool
Dominic Donner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Watching soaps on the tv why am I feeling so weak
Smoking some cigarettes, sipping some drinks
I don´t know how deep I can sink
You´re somewhere in my damn mind
But I can´t be by your side
Cause you´re cool
And I´ll always be the one who gets fooled
I don´t know what it´s like to be cool
I just know what it´s like to play the fool
The fool
I´ve been trying to find a way
To get your affection, but I´m so scared of rejection
Bought a new tv, 4k flatscreen
It´s like you´re right here with me
You´re somewhere so far away
You don´t know a thing about me
Cause you´re cool
And I´ll always be the one who gets fooled
I don´t know what it´s like to be cool
I just know what it´s like to play the fool
The fool
I don´t know what it´s like to be cool
I just know what it´s like to play the fool
I wrote you 10 times per day
I even flew to LA
I sold my tv away
Looking back I never had much fun
But look what I´ve become
I never thought I´d be the one
But now we´re sitting here in the sun
Now I know what it´s like to be cool
And you won´t see me playing the fool
The lyrics of Dominic Donner's song "Fool" present a depiction of unreciprocated feelings and a sense of inadequacy in comparison to others. The song begins with the singer sitting on his couch alone, smoking and drinking as he watches TV shows. Despite his apparent lack of satisfaction and self-doubt, he is thinking about someone who is always on his mind, but he cannot be with them because they are cool, and he is not. The singer is aware of his shortcomings and accepts the fact that he's likely to be a fool for this person. He feels a considerable desire for their affection but is immensely fearful of rejection.
In the second verse, the singer continues to illustrate his hopelessness as he demonstrates his unsuccessful attempts to get the person's attention by buying a new television, but they are still so far away and, as a result, don't know much about him. He then reveals how far he has gone in trying to get the person's affection. He's written them ten emails every day, even flew to LA, and sold his TV away. By the end of the song, however, the singer announces confidently that he now knows what it's like to be cool, and the person won't see him playing the fool anymore.
The song is a heartfelt and honest depiction of one-sided love and the damaging effect it can have on one's self-esteem. The singer of the song is a person with shortcomings who wishes to be loved by someone he thinks is "cool." However, he realizes that he can't be with this person as he is not on their level, which leads to a sense of vulnerability and despair, making him feel like a fool. This song talks about an unrequited crush on someone who is not really interested in the singer.

I´m still sitting on the couch
I am lounging on the sofa
Watching soaps on the tv why am I feeling so weak
I do not understand why I am feeling helpless, even though I am engrossed in watching TV shows
Smoking some cigarettes, sipping some drinks
I am smoking cigarettes and sipping drinks
I don´t know how deep I can sink
I am not aware of how low I can go
You´re somewhere in my damn mind
I cannot stop thinking of you
But I can´t be by your side
I cannot be with you physically
Cause you´re cool
You are admirable and stylish
And I´ll always be the one who gets fooled
I will always be deceived
I don´t know what it´s like to be cool
I have no experience of being trendy
I just know what it´s like to play the fool
I am familiar with the experience of being tricked
I´ve been trying to find a way
I have been attempting to discover a method
To get your affection, but I´m so scared of rejection
I am afraid of being rejected while attempting to earn your love
Bought a new tv, 4k flatscreen
I purchased a new 4k flatscreen TV
It´s like you´re right here with me
I feel like you are with me
You´re somewhere so far away
You are far away from me
You don´t know a thing about me
You are wholly unaware of me
I wrote you 10 times per day
I wrote to you ten times a day
I even flew to LA
I flew to Los Angeles
I sold my tv away
I sold my TV
Looking back I never had much fun
Upon reflection, I never had much enjoyment
But look what I´ve become
Look at who I have transformed into
I never thought I´d be the one
I never imagined I would be the one
But now we´re sitting here in the sun
But here we are together in the sunlight
Now I know what it´s like to be cool
Now I understand what it means to be in fashion
And you won´t see me playing the fool
You will not see me being tricked anymore
