Like a fool
Schuyler Fisk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So many things that I regret
Now an empty side of the bed
It's what I get
That's what I get
Well I know I should walk away
But it's hard to do 'n' easy to say
Nothing to blame on good intentions
I'm out of my head
Like a fool – I know it
My eyes seein' red every time you go out
And this is the best that my heart can offer
I'm out of my head
Like a fool
Like a ghost I follow you
In every room you walk into
But you never see me
Do you?
Cause you don't want to
You don't want to
I'm out of my head
Like a fool – I know it
My eyes seein' red every time you go out
And this is the best that my heart can offer
I'm out of my head
Like a fool
Remember a day when our love wasn't fadin'?
You're so far away can you see them breakin' me?
What I say? What I say?
I'm sorry now
Ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba
I'm out of my head
Like a fool – I know it
My eyes seein' red every time you go out
And this is the best that my heart can offer
I'm out of my head
Like a fool
I'm out of my head
Like a fool – I know it
My eyes seein' red every time you go out
And this is the best that my heart can offer
I'm out of my head
Like a fool
I'm out of my head
Like a fool...
The lyrics to Schuyler Fisk's song "Like a Fool" tell the story of a person who has made mistakes in a relationship and is now filled with regret. They are stuck in the past and unable to move on, feeling like a fool for still holding onto something that may not be worth it. They are constantly following the person they love, but feel invisible to them. The lyrics show a sense of desperation and frustration, knowing they should leave but feeling unable to let go.
The phrase "like a fool" appears throughout the song and emphasizes the singer's self-awareness of their actions. They know that they are not behaving rationally or in their best interest but can't help it. The song's chorus also highlights the intensity of their emotions, with the repetition of "out of my head" and "like a fool" creating a sense of chaos and confusion.
The bridge of the song briefly touches on a time when things were good between the two people, but it quickly fades into the present situation, where the singer is alone and in pain. The song ends abruptly, leaving the listener with a sense of uncertainty about what will happen next.
In summary, "Like a Fool" is a poignant and relatable song for anyone who has struggled to move on from a past relationship.
