Fool
Rea Chris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Silent in the corner while you're talking away
Your theories are endless, your lips never sleep
No time for reflection, there's no tongue in your cheek
Oh no, I ain't fool here
Oh no, I ain't fool here
You can talk till forever but ain't got no feel
Your scull must be empty, your brain cells run dry
Calling everybody
Learning nothing till the day that you die
Oh no, I ain't fool here
Oh no, I ain't fool here
In "Fool" by Rea Chris, the singer expresses frustration towards a person who talks non-stop without any depth or meaning in their words. The first two lines of the song show how the singer feels isolated and disconnected from the person who is speaking, as they remain silent in the corner while the other person drones on endlessly. The second verse takes a critical tone, suggesting that the person's mouth muscles are stronger than steel as they talk without any emotion or substance in their words. The line "Your scull [skull] must be empty, your brain cells run dry" indicates that even if they are calling out to people, they are not learning anything and will continue on this way until they die.
The chorus serves as a declaration by the singer that they are not a fool and they are not falling for the other person's meaningless chatter. The repetition of the phrase "Oh no, I ain't fool here" reinforces this idea and shows the singer's confidence in their own intelligence and ability to discern between empty words and genuine conversation.
The song can be interpreted as a commentary on the importance of genuine communication and how verbal communication alone does not equate to true understanding. The singer recognizes that talking without substance can be a form of deception and that it takes more than words to truly connect with someone.

The 1970's. When the music made you feel good, and later made you remember.
