The Fool
Fighting Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All alone at sea again, no one here but me
Sail is burning in the night, no land as far as I can see
Hands are shaking by my side, no one at the wheel
Bodies trapped beneath the hull, their souls for you to steal
Somewhere the tide is searching for a far off land
Where people bow and pray to God hoping he understands
(Refrain)
For all I can see it's no better to me than a voice without words to say
Fools and kings and better men look at the stars to guide their way
For all I can see it's no better to me than a voice without words to say
Rain it falls upon my head, thunder fills my veins
Waiting for an answer to why I call your name
Lessons learned in dying young, children falling down
Part of me is laughing now at all the tears I've found
Somewhere the tide is searching for a far off land
Where the people bow and pray to God hoping he understands
(Refrain)
Sinking to the bottom now...(darkness all around)
Sinking to the bottom now...(nowhere to be found)
Colder will I be tonight, never will I end this fight
Fade away again, fade away again...(but you can see me standing here)
Falling off the edge I see there is no other way
It wasn't me who asked for these tears I have today
Heaven never felt so good, hell not far behind
So I walk into my own as all your words remind me that
Somewhere the tide is searching for a far off land
Where people bow and pray to God hoping he understands
(Refrain)
The Fool by Fighting is a melancholic song that tells the story of a lone sailor at sea. The first verse sets the tone for the song, with the singer in a desperate situation, alone on a burning ship with no land in sight. The second verse describes how the sailor is waiting for an answer from God and reflecting on the lessons the dying young have taught him. The chorus "Fools and kings and better men look at the stars to guide their way" seems to suggest that regardless of status, all humans must navigate through life and its hardships.
The bridge builds on this theme, describing how the singer falls into darkness and accepts their fate, walking into their own personal hell. Through the powerful imagery of the song, the theme of hopelessness leads to a crushing defeat, as the line "nowhere to be found" suggests. The song ends on the same chorus, bringing together the themes of loneliness, loss and hopelessness. Overall, The Fool is a poignant song that speaks to the universal human experience of overcoming challenges while searching for meaning and purpose.
