Fools
Robin Schulz & Aalias Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I just wanna hold you, hold on tight
Now I'm in a few remarks and I'm trying to save my live
Walking through the darkness
I hear the host trumpets cry
Oh I thought we'd live forever
I don't wanna say goodbye
She was the queen of hearts
A melting pot of everything that I ever thought, but I won't say
Like the drink I spilled, this is how it started
She was the brightest star
Shining right above me even when she's far, I won't say
Just one more look before we're parted

Only fools go through
Jokers in the pack, shot me in the back
Only fools go through
Jokers in the pack, shot me in the back
Well how about that?

Red lights pulled me down
I fell in every fracture in this part of town, without you
Like a voodoo doll, you pull me six feet under
The rains cracked my crown
A hundred whiskey bottles 'til I start to drown about you
There's no way out, I die with this hunger

Only fools go through
Jokers in the pack, shot me in the back
Only fools go through
Jokers in the pack, shot me in the back
Well how about that?

I just wanna hold you, hold on tight
Now I'm in a few remarks and I'm trying to save my life
Walking through the darkness
I hear the host trumpets cry
Oh I thought we'd live forever
I don't wanna say goodbye, no

Only fools go through
Jokers in the pack, shot me in the back
Only fools go through
Jokers in the pack, shot me in the back
(Only fools go through)
(Jokers in the pack, shot me in the back)
(Only fools go through)
(Jokers in the pack)
Shot me in the back




How about that?
Well how about that?

Overall Meaning

The song "Fools" by Robin Schulz & Aalias is a reflection on love, loss, and the pain that comes with it. The lyrics describe the feeling of being in love, how it can consume and control a person's life. The lines "I just wanna hold You, hold on tight / Now I'm in a few remarks and I'm trying to save my life / Walking through the darkness / I hear the host trumpets cry" convey a sense of longing for the connection the singer used to have with their partner, who is now gone. There is a sense of witnessing the destruction of a relationship and the pain it causes.


The chorus "Only fools go through / Jokers in the pack, shot me in the back / Well how about that?" speaks to the idea that love sometimes makes people do foolish things. The pain of lost love, of betrayal, can feel like being shot in the back. The mention of jokers in the pack suggests that there are many players in the game of love, and not all are trustworthy or sincere.


The second verse emphasizes the feelings of loss and despair, with lines such as "Red lights pulled me down / I fell in every fracture in this part of town, without you." The singer feels lost and alone, and the presence of the other person is sorely missed. The repetition of the chorus further emphasizes the sense of grief and confusion that comes with the end of a relationship.
