Michael Jackson The Jacksons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The world is the biggest school
As you live, you learn though a torch will burn
Everybody's somebody's fool
You go through life making fools of others
Pretending you're giving them love
But remember sister or brother
It's beautiful to watch love begin
But oh so sad when it ends
As you got through life remember this rule
Everybody's somebody's fool
It's beautiful to watch love begin
But oh so sad when it ends
As you got through life remember this rule
Everybody's somebody's fool
The lyrics of Michael Jackson's song "Everybody" by The Jacksons conveys a message that everyone in life can be foolish at some point in time. The first line of the song, "Everybody's somebody's fool," indicates that no matter how smart or successful someone might be, there are times when everyone ends up making foolish mistakes. The world is referred to as the "biggest school," suggesting that life is a journey of continuous learning. As people walk through life, evident as they gain more wisdom, but they will also face adverse conditions, indicated by the line "though a torch will burn."
The second verse of the song talks about how people can deceive others, pretending to give them love. People can fool others, but they cannot deceive God, as stated in the line "You all have to answer to the one you above." The song stated that "It's beautiful to watch love begin, but oh, so sad when it ends." The song implies that love and relationships can bring joy but can also bring sorrow.
In conclusion, Michael Jackson's "Everybody" reminds us to be humble, for everyone is a fool at some points in life, even the smartest and most successful individuals. It's essential to be cautious and not take advantage of others since everyone's actions and deeds will have consequences, and every individual has to answer to a higher power.
