Fool
Finding Iris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Loss of love, loss of blood and life
I'm bleeding again
I'm bleeding within
We swim in deeper waters
We give deeper wounds
As everything you promised
I would wait for you
Thought I was made for you
But now I'm a fool
Only a fool
A blinking eye to sever ties
Loss of breath, taste of death in life
I'm writhing within
It's like pins and needles just beneath the skin
We swim in deeper waters
We give deeper wounds
As everything you promised
Time denies the truth
I would wait for you
Thought I was made for you
But now I'm a fool
Only a fool
I was deaf and I was blind
I lost myself in your sky blue eyes
I was wrong and I was right
My every fear is realized
Taken by a tidal wave
I'm pulled asunder, you're the same
A scapegoat game
It's a scapegoat to blame
We swim in deeper waters
We give deeper wounds
As everything you promised
Time denies the truth
I meant nothing to you
I'm never enough for you
But now I'm a fool
Only a fool
Now I'm a fool
To have trusted you
The lyrics of "Fool" by Finding Iris delve into themes of betrayal, self-denial, and the painful realization of being deceived by someone trusted. The singer describes their experience of enduring the consequences of their own self-denial and the lies they believed from a loved one. The repetition of the phrase "I'm bleeding again, I'm bleeding within" suggests emotional turmoil and the continuous harm inflicted by the situation.
The lyrics also discuss the idea of swimming in deeper waters and giving deeper wounds, implying that the relationship became increasingly intense and damaging. The promises made by the person in question are proven to be empty as time passes and reveals the truth. Despite feeling initially made for this person and waiting for them, the singer ultimately concludes that they are now a fool, having been deceived and taken advantage of.
The second verse continues to explore the pain caused by this relationship. The singer uses vivid imagery, like a blinking eye to sever ties and feeling like pins and needles under the skin, to illustrate the physical and emotional discomfort they experience. The lyrics also touch upon the singer's previous blindness and their realization that they were wrong and right simultaneously, highlighting the conflicted emotions they have.
The final verse introduces the metaphor of being taken by a tidal wave and the realization that the person they trusted is the same as before, playing a scapegoat game. The singer understands that they meant nothing to this person and that they were never enough. The repetition of the line "Now I'm a fool, only a fool" reinforces the pain and regret felt by the singer for having trusted someone who betrayed them.
Overall, "Fool" by Finding Iris captures the emotional journey of someone who trusted and loved deeply, only to be deceived and hurt. It explores themes of self-deception, betrayal, and the painful process of realizing the truth.
