Born-Again Fool
Patty Loveless Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thinking of his bright future that has now been erased.
He once loved a woman whose love wasn't true.
Now all that remains is a born-again fool.
Mistakes, he's made many in his passage of life.
She was the first wrong he couldn't make right.
She left him no reason. She left no excuse.
Believing that her love would be his salvation
But faith in her heart proved to be his damnation.
Another falsado. Another heart torn in two
Oh there's no one as lost as a born-again fool.
Well he gave all she asked for. She took all he had.
She made him her puppet with no strings attatched.
He did all she wanted but he never knew,
She was only creating a born-again fool.
Believing that her love would be his salvation.
But faith in her heart proved to be his damnation.
Another falsado. Another heart torn in two.
Oh there's no one as lost as a born-again fool.
He sits on a park bench still wondering why,
As the whole world unnoticing passes him by
Such a folorn conclusion that his life led him to.
Betrayed and deceived he's a born-again fool.
The lyrics of Patty Loveless's song Born-Again Fool tell the story of a man who has been deceived and betrayed in a relationship. The man sits on a park bench and reflects on the loss of his bright future, that has been erased by the deception of his loved one. The woman he once loved, did not reciprocate his love and left him with no reason, but just the shell of a born-again fool.
The chorus of the song portrays the man's feeling of being lost and deceived. He had believed that the love of the woman would be his salvation, but in reality, it turned out to be his damnation. His faith in the woman's heart tore him apart and he ended up becoming a born-again fool. The lyrics also depict that the man had given everything that the woman had asked for, and she took all he had, making him a puppet with no strings attached.
The message hidden in the song is that sometimes love and faith can destroy a person completely. The man's blind faith in his lover's love led him to an unfortunate situation where he was left with nothing but pain and despair. Born-Again Fool is a heart-wrenching song that portrays the reality of deception in relationships.
