We Are Fools
Riley Pearce Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Drop fire from your throat,
We will walk till we see that we're broken.
Somehow we stay afloat,
With no regrets this is what we have chosen now,
'Cause we are fools.

We bear our hearts on our strings [?]
We bear our hearts for the strangest of things and I know,

That we are not letting go.

Forget your patient heart,
We have no room for a gradual desire.
Unleash your wicked jaw,

If you're still breathing you've got to try harder now,
'Cause we are fools.

We bear our hearts on our strings [?]

We bear our hearts for the strangest of things and I know,
That we are not letting go.
Because we are fools.

We are just fools in love,
We are just fools in love,
We are just fools in love,
We are just fools in love,
We are just fools in love,
We are just fools in love,
We are just fools in love,
We are just fools in love,
We are just fools in love,
We are just fools in love,
We are just fools in love,
We are just fools in love,
We are just fools in love,
We are just fools in love,
We are just fools in love,
We are just fools in love,
We are just fools in love,
We are just fools in love,
We are just fools in love,
We are just fools in love,
We are just fools in love,
We are just fools in love,
We are just fools in love,
We are just fools in love,
We are just fools in love,
We are just fools in love,
We are just fools in love,
We are just fools in love,
We are just fools in love,
We are just fools in love,
We are just fools in love,
We are just fools in love,




We are just fools in love,
We are just fools in love.

Overall Meaning

In Riley Pearce's song "We Are Fools," the opening line "Drop fire from your throat" is a metaphor for speaking honestly and passionately, even if it hurts or causes conflict. The following line "We will walk till we see that we're broken" suggests that they will push themselves to their limits, even if it results in emotional pain, and they are willing to face the consequences of their actions. The chorus "We are just fools in love" repeats throughout the song, emphasizing that their love may not make sense to others, but they are willing to be seen as foolish because their feelings are real to them.


The second verse "Forget your patient heart" implies that they are no longer willing to wait for love or take things slowly. The line "We have no room for a gradual desire" suggests that they want an intense and passionate romance. The following line "Unleash your wicked jaw" is another metaphor, this time for being bold and fearless, even if it means taking risks or being seen as reckless. The concluding line "If you're still breathing you've got to try harder now" suggests that they are willing to put in the effort to make their relationship work, even if it requires some sacrifice.


Overall, the song "We Are Fools" is about two people who are willing to take risks for love and accept the consequences, even if that means being seen as foolish or reckless. They are unafraid to be honest and bold with their feelings, even if it means facing emotional pain or social judgment.
