Oh No
Mother And Father Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't believe it
You say that you think you know
The meaning of love
You say
With your love you can change
All of the fools
All of the hate
I think you're probably
Out to lunch
Oh no
I don't believe it
You say that you think you know
The meaning of love
Do you really think it can be told?
You say that you really know
I think
You should check it again
How can you say
What you believe
Will be the key to a
World of love?
All your love
Will it save me?
All your love
Will it save the world
From what we can't understand?
Oh no
I don't believe it
And in your dreams
You can see yourself
As a prophet
Saving the world
The
Words from your lips
I just can't believe
You are such
A fool
The song "Oh No" by Mother And Father explores the theme of love and its ability to bring about change in the world. The lyrics are addressed to someone who claims to have a deep understanding of love and its power to transform people and society. However, the singer expresses doubt about this person's claims, suggesting that they may be delusional or misguided. The repetition of the phrase "oh no" throughout the song creates a sense of disbelief and disappointment with the person's idealistic views.
The singer challenges the person's belief that love can change all the fools and the hate in the world. They suggest that this is an oversimplification of a complex issue and that love alone cannot solve all the problems in the world. The line "I think you're probably out to lunch" implies that the person's views are unrealistic and naive. The singer questions whether love truly has a clear meaning that can be easily defined, indicating that understanding love is a difficult and complex process that requires more nuanced thinking.
The song also highlights the dangers of idealism and the way that it can lead to foolishness and delusion. The singer compares the person to a prophet who believes that they can save the world with their words. However, the singer sees through this delusion and recognizes that the person's ideas are unrealistic and misguided. The final line "you are such a fool" suggests that the singer has lost patience with the person and sees them as someone who is unable to understand the complexities of the world.
