Introduction
The Fools Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sooner or later this will fall apart
It takes more than science to save a failing heart
I wanted to keep you and hide you from the sun
But no one could reach you

You say I'm a black hole
Sigularity
My own supernova
A blazing blind catastrophe
And for once I was a star
A long time before that
Somebody's sun

But enough of these pointless noises
Enough of just counting down
This is not a test
If love is not the answer
Then maybe I misunderstood Oh the question
Oh there must be someway out of this

We stand in a circle

hand in hand in hand
There's talk of a comet
Over moon and land
The sand has run out of the glass
We stand in a circle
We stand in a line

But enough of these pointless noises
Enough of just counting down
This is not a test
If hope is not the answer then maybe I misunderstood Oh the question
Because there must be someway
I want it so so..
There's always someway

Well enough of these final nothings
There's no time to reconsider
So love was not the answer but maybe I misunderstood the question
Because it must be somewhere




I read it somewhere
There's always someway

Overall Meaning

The song "Introduction" by The Fools deals with the theme of the inevitable demise of a relationship. The lyrics express the sentiment that although love may not be enough to sustain a relationship, hope must always exist for a way out of difficult circumstances. The song employs imagery that is both scientific and metaphorical, referencing black holes, supernovas, and comets to illustrate the emotional intensity and unpredictability of the situation.


The opening lines of the song evoke a sense of impending doom as the singer suggests that the relationship is destined to fail eventually. Despite the singer's desire to keep the other person close, they acknowledge that their efforts were ultimately futile. The second verse shifts to the singer's self-perception, as they describe themselves as a "black hole" and a "blazing blind catastrophe". The use of astronomical phenomena highlights the magnitude of the emotional turmoil that the singer is experiencing.


The chorus calls for an end to "pointless noises" and counting down, emphasizing the urgency of the situation. The repeated line "there must be someway" reinforces the idea that hope must always exist, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles. The final verse acknowledges that the outcome may not have been what the singer hoped for, but there is always the possibility of finding a way forward.
