The Fool In Me
Dry County Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before you a broken man
With head in hands
And what a fool I am
To think you'd ever wanna
Have your eyes meet with mine
Again
After what I did
All this time
'Cause I guess it was the spotlight
That drove me away
Or dreamin' that old billboard
Would be flashin' my name
Now here I stand before you
Just a fraction of the man
I used to be
Prayin' you'll forgive the fool in me
The fool in me
You ain't never seen
A thing like Miami Beach
Or Alberta gold
Oh it was good to be home
But all the time that tI've been takin'
For the things that I thought
I'm supposed to do
Well all that I could do
Was think of you
And everything you meant to me
'Cause I guess it was the spotlight
That drove me away
Or dreamin' that old billboard
Would be shinin' my name
Now here I stand before you
Just a fraction of the man I used to be
Prayin you'll forgive the fool in me
Well I need to know
Is time to let go?
I need to hold
Onto something real
'Cause I guess it was the spotlight
That drove me away
Or dreamin' that old billboard
Would be flashin' my name
Now here I stand before you
Just a fraction of the man I used to be
Prayin' you'll forgive the fool in me
(Fool, fool in me)
Cause all I'm ever gonna be is a fool
(Fool, fool in me)
Just the fool in me
(Fool, fool in me)
The fool in me
The Fool In Me by Dry County is a soulful ballad that talks about regret, redemption, and reconciliation. The song is narrated from the perspective of a man who has made some bad decisions in the past and is seeking forgiveness from his lover. The singer expresses his regret for his actions and admits to being a fool who chased after fame and success instead of staying true to the love he had. He confesses that he was wrong to let the spotlight drive him away from her and now pleads for a chance to make things right. He acknowledges that he is now just a fraction of the man he used to be and hopes that she can forgive him for the foolish decisions he made.
The lyrics in The Fool In Me are deeply emotional and resonate with anyone who has ever made a mistake and wished they could turn back time. They are relatable and powerful, conveying a sense of vulnerability that is rare in most songs. The singer's tone is gentle and apologetic, making the song a heartfelt plea for forgiveness. The chorus, in particular, is catchy and memorable, as it emphasizes the theme of regret and the singer's willingness to accept responsibility for his actions.
Line by Line Meaning
Well here I stand*
I am standing before you
Before you a broken man
I am in a state of complete emotional collapse before you
With head in hands
I am holding my head in my hands in despair
And what a fool I am
I am acknowledging that I have acted in a foolish manner
To think you'd ever wanna
I was foolish to believe that you would want to
Have your eyes meet with mine
To make eye contact with me
Again
Once more
After what I did
Despite my past actions
And wonderin' where I'd been
And questioning where I have been all this time
All this time
Throughout all this time that has passed
'Cause I guess it was the spotlight
I believe it was the allure of fame
That drove me away
That pushed me to leave
Or dreamin' that old billboard
Or imagining that old billboard
Would be flashin' my name
Would be displaying my name
Now here I stand before you
And now I am here standing before you
Just a fraction of the man
I am no longer the man I once was
I used to be
In the past
Prayin' you'll forgive the fool in me
I am asking for your forgiveness for my foolishness
You ain't never seen
You have never witnessed something like
A thing like Miami Beach
The likes of Miami Beach
Or Alberta gold
Or the gold of Alberta
Oh it was good to be home
It felt good to be back home
But all the time that tI've been takin'
During all the time that I have been away
For the things that I thought
For the things that I believed
I'm supposed to do
I was meant to do
Well all that I could do
But all I was capable of doing
Was think of you
Was to think about you
And everything you meant to me
And all the significance you had in my life
'Cause I guess it was the spotlight
I believe it was the allure of fame
That drove me away
That pushed me to leave
Or dreamin' that old billboard
Or imagining that old billboard
Would be shinin' my name
Would display my name in bright lights
Well I need to know
I need to understand
Is time to let go?
If it is time to move on
I need to hold
I need to have
Onto something real
Something genuine and authentic
The fool in me
My foolish side
(Fool, fool in me)
(My foolishness)
Cause all I'm ever gonna be is a fool
Because I will always be seen as a fool
(Fool, fool in me)
(My foolishness)
Just the fool in me
I am nothing more than a fool
(Fool, fool in me)
(My foolishness)
The fool in me
My foolishness
