Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "For the Night" by Fools and Foes depict the story of a person who is emotionally invested in someone, but the other person is only interested in them for a short period. The song shows how people can be blinded by love and can't see the reality of a situation. The repetition of "I've been a fool for you" throughout the song highlights the emotional vulnerability and naivety of the singer. The lines "and you just wanted me for the night" further emphasize the temporary nature of the relationship and the underlying motives of the other person.


It's a relatable song that speaks to the core of human emotions. Everyone has experienced heartbreak or been in a situation where they have invested emotionally in someone who only wanted them for a short time. The song is melancholic, yet empowering as it shows how one can move on from such a situation.
