Fool
Major and the Monbacks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's loss leaves a corpse on the tongue (tongue, tongue)
And with a mouth of skeletons
It traps shut the casket of us, of trust (trust, trust)
Look at who we've become at the end of love
It felt like the end of everything (everything, everything)
They gave my confidence it's ending
The lyrics of Major and the Monback's song "Fool" explore the transformative power of love and the devastating aftermath of its loss. The opening lines suggest that love has the ability to awaken a poetic spirit within us all. However, when love ends, it leaves behind a heavy burden that renders our voices speechless, like a corpse on the tongue. The imagery of a mouth full of skeletons represents the weight of unresolved emotions and unspoken words that are trapped within, sealing off the possibility of trust and communication.
The lyrics further reflect on the impact of love's demise. The singer observes the individuals they and their partner have become at the end of their love story, feeling as if everything is crumbling. The loss of love has not only affected the singer's emotional state but also eroded their confidence. The final line implies that the confidence they once possessed has been gradually diminished throughout the course of the relationship, and now it has reached its ultimate downfall.
