Fools And Luxury
Lydia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I won't wait for words...anymore
Its under to yourself
And now I'm so so gone
It's under to yourself
And now I'm so so gone
But only in my brain and that's fine with me
How could you do
You do this to me?
Well circle around and get yourself a better look,
A better memory.
And you fall down, you do
File down these streets
Lined with fools and luxury
We send our best but nobody looked, yeah just
Love me, love me this is how I'm forced to live
I don't wanna live like that, I don't want to live no second worse.
Well trains take me so far
But only in my brain
And you do, you do
I sing the words for you
Well circle around and get yourself a better look,
A better memory
File down these streets
Lined with fools and luxury
Love me, love me this is how I'm forced to live
But I don't want to live like that
Expect me to seem
Free from your care
From your problems
[Repeat: x5]
He is the best now, she's under pressure
He is the best now, she's under pressure
These nights will go so quietly
Lydia's song "Fools and Luxury" is a melancholic song about being done with someone who has been stringing the singer along, promising things that will never come to fruition. The lyrics depict a sense of resignation and acceptance of the inevitable breakup. The lines "I won't wait for anymore, I won't wait for words...anymore" emphasize the singer's refusal to continue waiting for promises to be fulfilled. The phrase "trains take me so far, but only in my brain and that's fine with me" demonstrates a sense of disappointment, where the singer has been mentally escaping to deal with the unfulfilled promises. The line "love me, love me, this is how I'm forced to live" shows how the pain of waiting for someone has become the only way-of-life, and breaking free of it feels daunting.
The line "lined with fools and luxury" exemplifies the irony of expectations and how the promise of luxury does not lead to happiness if it comes from a fool. The phrase "expect me to seem free from your care, from your problems," portrays a sense of frustration with someone who is unable to deliver on their commitments but still expects the breakup to be smooth. In the final line "he is the best now, she's under pressure, these nights will go so quietly,” there is an implication of how the promises have now become part of the past that will fade away slowly.
