Fool
Nu Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don′t be no fool
Holding on to the things that hurt you most
A ball and chain around your feet

Smelling nostalgia defeat
And when you were young
With fleeting feet
Dancing away
Always in the flow always in the beat
And like lights show, yourself you could be, free from all worries
You've come so far,
Got a bright little star, shining the way
So keep hiding that pearl,
Don′t live in that shadow
All our words are lost in the wind and all my love goes to perish,
Anything i do, if i could help you ill try and not hurt you
Don't be no fool i know your'e not no fool
It is you it is you its what is most of me and you
I feel for you, in letting go
Be sure its not for show and tell
But my words and my gestures just like
Piss in the wind, and keep on getting wet
So I won′t be no fool
I won′t let you hurt




I won't be no fool
I do, I do, i do, I do...

don't be no fool
holding on to the things that hurt you most
a ball and chain around your feet
smelling nostalgia defeat
and when you were young
with fleeting feet
dancing away 
always in the flow always in the beat
and like lights show, yourself you could be, free from all worries
you've come so far,
got a bright little star, shining the way
so keep hiding that pearl,
don't live in that shadow
all our words are lost in the wind and all my love goes to perish,
anything I do, if I could help you ill try and not hurt you
don't be no fool I know you're not no fool
it is you it is you, who suffers most from being you
I feel for you, in letting go
be sure its not for show and tell
but my words and my gestures just like piss in the wind, and keep on getting wet
so I won't be no fool

@ToxicBenyo

This is my interpretation of the lyrics ;)

don't be no fool
holding on to the things that hurt you most
a ball and chain 'round your feet
spelling nostalgia and defeat
and when you were young
with fleeting feet
dancing in a way
always in flow, always in the beat and limelight to show yourself
you could be free from all worries
you've come so far
a bright little star shining the way
don't keep hiding that pearl
don't live in that shell
but my words are lost in the wind and all my love goes to perish
anything i do if i can't help you, i'll try not to hurt you
don't be no fool
i know you're no fool
it's you, it's you that suffers most from being
i feel for you in letting go
be sure it's not for show and tell
but my words and my gestures are just like piss in the wind
i keep on getting wet
so i won't be no fool
i won't let you hurt
i won't be no fool (i won't stop loving you)

@TheRipperxX9

Sometimes it’s hard but you’ve got to realize you’re by yourself throughout the journey that life is... you can’t get trapped in your memories and mistakes from the past... Eventually all that will go away and be forgotten in time, both the good and the bad memories. You gotta get up and let go from what hurt you the most and face it and just keep going. Be yourself. We are worth way more than we can imagine. Don’t be no fool...

@wojtekkaras

I think that every stoner will understand why this music is soo good.

One day I'll open a beach club with that kind of music and it will be one of the best places in the world.
