Fools Rush In
O.S.T. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I used to say
A game I thought I'd never play
"Romance is a game for fools"
I said and grinned
Then you passed by
And here am I
Throwing caution to the wind
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread
And so I come to you, my love, my heart above my head.
Though I see the danger there
If there's a chance for me, then I don't care
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Fools rush in where wise men never go
But wise men never fall in love, so how are they to know?
When we met, I felt my life begin
So open up your heart and let this fool rush in
Fools rush in where wise men never, never, never go
Eh, but wise men never fall in love, so how are they to know?
Ahh, when we met, girl, I felt my life begin
So open up your heart and let this fool rush in
Just open up your heart and let this fool rush on in
Just open up your heart because I-I-I-I-I-I-I am coming in
Open up your heart and let this fool rush in!!
The song "Fools Rush In" by O.S.T. talks about the experience of falling in love and the risks involved. The lyrics begin with the singer stating that they used to think that romance was for fools and that they would never participate in it. However, upon meeting someone special, the singer takes a chance and throws caution to the wind. The chorus describes how fools rush in where angels fear to tread, meaning that those who are reckless or uninhibited often take risks that more calculated individuals would avoid. Despite acknowledging the potential danger, the singer is willing to take the chance because of their love.
The second verse emphasizes the idea that wise men never fall in love, and therefore do not know the joys and sorrows that come with it. The singer believes that when they met their partner, their life truly began. The song ends with the singer asking their love to open up their heart and let them in, further emphasizing the idea that sometimes it takes a bit of foolishness and risk-taking to find happiness.
Overall, "Fools Rush In" is a song that celebrates the power of love and encourages listeners to take risks even when the odds seem against them. It suggests that sometimes, being a little foolish is necessary in order to experience life's greatest joys.
