Fool
S O H N Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Crave is admitted to both
Flows to the surface
Don’t be a fool
Don’t be a fool

Climb out the window again
Slipped on the water
Don’t be a fool
Don’t be a fool

If only for justice
If only for her
Don’t be a fool
Don’t be a fool

Give away that card
And take all that I’ve got
Don’t let me wander
Don’t let me wander

If only for justice
If only for her
Don’t be a fool
Don’t be a fool

Give away that card
And take all that I’ve got




Don’t let me wander
Don’t let me wander

Overall Meaning

In S O H N's song Fool, the lyrics speak of a relationship that is filled with intense emotions and desires. The first two lines of the verse read, "Crave is admitted to both / Flows to the surface," indicating that both parties in the relationship are acknowledging their hunger for each other, and that this craving is becoming more prominent and visible. However, the repeated line "Don't be a fool" serves as a warning to one of the people involved in the relationship, cautioning them not to fall too deeply into this passion and potentially hurt themselves.


The second verse paints a picture of a dangerous scenario, with the singer "Climbing out the window again / Slipped on the water." This could represent a metaphorical escape, one that carries risks, where the singer may fall, slip, or get hurt. "Don't be a fool" is repeated twice more, urging caution in approaching this situation. Additionally, the line "If only for justice / If only for her" implies that either justice or the person this protagonist cares for is driving them to make this risky move, which adds to the tension of the scene.


The final two lines of the verse emphasize the singer's vulnerability and desperation. "Give away that card / And take all that I've got." They're essentially saying they're willing to give up everything they have for this person they care about, a deeply emotional sentiment that adds weight to the lyrics. Once again, "Don't let me wander" repeats twice more, pleading with the person they care for not to let them get lost in their own desires.


Overall, Fool is a song that captures the dynamic of a passionate relationship that is filled with risks and vulnerability. The lyrics warn us about the dangers of craving someone so intensely and calls for caution and mindfulness in pursuing our desires.
