Chain Of Fools
Negra Li Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Chain, chain, chain, chain of fools
Five long years I thought you were my man
But I found out I'm just a link in your chain
Five long years I thought you were my man
But I found out I'm just a link in your chain
Chain, chain, chain, chain of fools
You got me where you want me
I ain't nothing but your fool
You treated me mean oh you treated me cruel
Every chain has got a weak link
I might be weak child, but I'll give you strength
Chain, chain, chain, chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain, chain of fools
You told me to leave you alone
My father said come on home
My doctor said take it easy
Whole bunch of lovin is much too strong
I'm added to your chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain, chain,
Chain, chain of fools
Chain, chain, chain, chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain, chain of fools
The song "Chain of Fools" by Negra Li is a soulful tune that captures the pain, heartbreak, and desperation of a woman who realizes that she has been strung along in a toxic relationship. The lyrics are simple yet powerful, and deliver the message in a way that is relatable and poignant. With a repeated refrain of "chain, chain, chain", the singer emphasizes the metaphor of being chained up in a relationship that is dragging her down. She sings, "Five long years I thought you were my man, but I found out I'm just a link in your chain" which reveals the realization that she has been strung along and that her feelings are not reciprocated. She acknowledges her weakness but asserts her power by singing, "Every chain has got a weak link, I might be weak child, but I'll give you strength".
The chorus is a rallying cry for all those who have found themselves trapped in a toxic relationship. The use of repetition is particularly effective in emphasizing the metaphor of the chain and the futility of trying to break free. The singer acknowledges her pain, frustration, and vulnerability, but also acknowledges her strength and resilience. The verses capture the pain and confusion of realizing that a relationship is not what it seemed, and the chorus encapsulates the frustration and desperation that come with feeling trapped and helpless.
