Fool
The Will and Andy Blues Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I’m living blindly
Tryna move forward I stopped looking behind me
I’m just tryna take my shot
Tryna find happiness that’s all we got
Like what the fuck is love, what the fuck is life
I spoke into existence all this shit that I write
But I been blind, life is always flashing before our eyes
I said damn, I’m still a nomad
But I’m stronger now and I can’t go back
Wear my heart on my sleeve but the world getting colder
No matter what happens I just have to move forward
But I ain’t been getting a check in a minute, checking each minute
To see if that girl listened, my world twisted, oh my god
I promise I’m too honest, surrounded by fakes
All you want shit but you wont do what it takes
You got your own fucking thoughts say that shit with your chest
Nobody moving cause they don’t take any steps
I said do it for yourself
Live for yourself
If you don’t got that do have anybody else
Yeah shit don’t matter
Sun still rise and my bitch stay badder
We living like we used to do before life moved too fast
Keep my feet up on the dash cause nothing lasts
We all just fools, that’s okay
Take a look around nothing ever really stays
We all fucking dumb, but that’s okay we fucking young, yeah
Checked my alarm, shit, here we go again
My anxiety and negative thoughts start flowing in
Misery sent the "I'm outside" text when I clocked in
I'm with these lost souls that I don't even know as friends
I been asking what I'm even at work for
Last week I almost Jeff Hardy'd off of the third floor
Really, I could quit now, but there goes my plans
Mama always asking me when I'll be able to stand
On my own two, "I'll show you" is what I tell her
Really I don't know when and I'm fed up
19 with my whole life ahead of me
I know I can't keep being my worst enemy
I'm tryna give all that away, let myself fall on my face
For all I know, I might fail and get this all into place
In my mind, it won't work if it's not faster
But I got time, so this might not even matter
Yeah shit don’t matter
Sun still rise and my bitch stay badder
We living like we used to do before life moved too fast
Keep my feet up on the dash cause nothing lasts
We all just fools, that’s okay
Take a look around nothing ever really stays
We all fucking dumb, but that’s okay we fucking young, yeah
I woke up from this dream I keep having
The one where I’m free from the burdens I’m trapped in
I chase that feeling, it’s like I’m running in circles
I know I’ll keep jumping each time I face these hurdles
Look, I been a fool, a cynic, my whole life
Tryna get better but I can’t make shit right
Everybody left me, I’m tryna move on
I keep looking back, I keep making the same songs
I thought plays and streams would make me happy, I was wrong
I been chasing after an illusion all along
Spent a long time working, life feeling like a dead end job
But i never stopped holding on
We all running away but getting closer together
We all got blessings but we quick to forget em
I got these dreams so imma go ahead and get em
I spoke it into existence, now I said that
Yeah shit don’t matter
Sun still rise and my bitch stay badder
We living like we used to do before life moved too fast
Keep my feet up on the dash cause nothing lasts
We all just fools, that’s okay
Take a look around nothing ever really stays
We all fucking dumb, but that’s okay we fucking young, yeah

Like what the fuck defines me
I question what truly defines me and my identity
I’m living blindly
I'm going through life without a clear sense of direction
Tryna move forward I stopped looking behind me
While attempting to progress, I neglected to reflect on my past
I’m just tryna take my shot
I'm striving to seize my opportunity
Tryna find happiness that’s all we got
Searching for joy is the ultimate pursuit in life
Like what the fuck is love, what the fuck is life
I question the essence of love and the purpose of life
I spoke into existence all this shit that I write
I manifested the ideas I expressed through my writing
But I been blind, life is always flashing before our eyes
I have been oblivious to the transient nature of life
I was bound by doubt I cut these ties
I freed myself from the limitations of doubt
I said damn, I’m still a nomad
I realized that I am still without a permanent home or purpose
But I’m stronger now and I can’t go back
I have grown resilient and refuse to regress
Wear my heart on my sleeve but the world getting colder
I openly display my emotions, although the world becomes harsher
No matter what happens I just have to move forward
Irrespective of circumstances, I must continue progressing
But I ain’t been getting a check in a minute, checking each minute
I haven't received any income lately, continuously checking the time
To see if that girl listened, my world twisted, oh my god
I anxiously await a response from that girl, causing a turmoil within me
I promise I’m too honest, surrounded by fakes
I pride myself on my truthfulness, despite being surrounded by deceptive individuals
All you want shit but you wont do what it takes
You desire success but lack the determination to achieve it
You got your own fucking thoughts say that shit with your chest
Express your own opinions confidently and assertively
Nobody moving cause they don’t take any steps
People remain stagnant because they fail to take action
I said do it for yourself
I urged others to pursue their goals for personal fulfillment
Live for yourself
Prioritize your own happiness and well-being
If you don’t got that do have anybody else
If you lack self-love, you won't have anyone else to rely on
Yeah shit don’t matter
Ultimately, trivial matters hold no significance
Sun still rise and my bitch stay badder
The sun continues to rise, and my partner remains exceptional
We living like we used to do before life moved too fast
We are embracing a lifestyle reminiscent of slower times
Keep my feet up on the dash cause nothing lasts
I relax and enjoy the moment since nothing is permanent
We all just fools, that’s okay
We are all imperfect and make mistakes, and that's acceptable
Take a look around nothing ever really stays
Observing our surroundings reveals the transient nature of everything
We all fucking dumb, but that’s okay we fucking young, yeah
We may lack wisdom and experience, but it's forgivable since we're youthful
Checked my alarm, shit, here we go again
I acknowledged my alarm, realizing another repetitive cycle is about to begin
My anxiety and negative thoughts start flowing in
My anxiety intensifies, and pessimism floods my mind
Misery sent the 'I'm outside' text when I clocked in
Moments of sadness greeted me as soon as I started working
I'm with these lost souls that I don't even know as friends
I find myself surrounded by unfamiliar individuals who are just as lost as me
I been asking what I'm even at work for
I question the purpose of my job
Last week I almost Jeff Hardy'd off of the third floor
Recently, I contemplated a reckless act similar to Jeff Hardy's high-risk stunts
Really, I could quit now, but there goes my plans
Technically, I could give up, but it would jeopardize my future aspirations
Mama always asking me when I'll be able to stand
My mother constantly inquires about when I will become self-sufficient
On my own two, 'I'll show you' is what I tell her
I reassure my mother that I will prove my ability to stand on my own
Really I don't know when and I'm fed up
Honestly, I'm uncertain of when I will achieve independence and it frustrates me
19 with my whole life ahead of me
At the age of 19, I have a future filled with opportunities
I know I can't keep being my worst enemy
I recognize that I must stop sabotaging myself
I'm tryna give all that away, let myself fall on my face
I am attempting to abandon those negative traits and face failure head-on
For all I know, I might fail and get this all into place
While there is a possibility that I will fail, it could ultimately bring everything together
In my mind, it won't work if it's not faster
I believe that if things don't progress quickly, they won't succeed
But I got time, so this might not even matter
However, considering I have time, it is possible that this concern is insignificant
I woke up from this dream I keep having
I abruptly awakened from a recurring dream
The one where I’m free from the burdens I’m trapped in
This dream signifies liberation from the burdens that confine me
I chase that feeling, it’s like I’m running in circles
I pursue that sensation, yet it feels like I'm stuck in a never-ending loop
I know I’ll keep jumping each time I face these hurdles
I am aware that I will continue to confront obstacles and overcome them
Look, I been a fool, a cynic, my whole life
Throughout my existence, I have been both foolish and cynical
Tryna get better but I can’t make shit right
I strive for improvement, yet I struggle to rectify my mistakes
Everybody left me, I’m tryna move on
Everyone abandoned me, and now I am attempting to move forward
I keep looking back, I keep making the same songs
I frequently reminisce and find myself creating similar music
I thought plays and streams would make me happy, I was wrong
I mistakenly believed that popularity and online recognition would bring me happiness
I been chasing after an illusion all along
All this time, I have been pursuing a mirage
Spent a long time working, life feeling like a dead end job
Engaged in prolonged labor, life resembled a stagnant and unfulfilling occupation
But I never stopped holding on
Nevertheless, I persisted and continued to persevere
We all running away but getting closer together
While we are all evading our problems, we are growing more connected
We all got blessings but we quick to forget em
Although we possess blessings, we often overlook and disregard them
I got these dreams so imma go ahead and get em
I have aspirations, so I will pursue them relentlessly
I spoke it into existence, now I said that
I manifested my desires through the power of my words
Yeah shit don’t matter
Ultimately, trivial matters hold no significance
Sun still rise and my bitch stay badder
The sun continues to rise, and my partner remains exceptional
We living like we used to do before life moved too fast
We are embracing a lifestyle reminiscent of slower times
Keep my feet up on the dash cause nothing lasts
I relax and enjoy the moment since nothing is permanent
We all just fools, that’s okay
We are all imperfect and make mistakes, and that's acceptable
Take a look around nothing ever really stays
Observing our surroundings reveals the transient nature of everything
We all fucking dumb, but that’s okay we fucking young, yeah
We may lack wisdom and experience, but it's forgivable since we're youthful

Stewart is such a unique drummer. Would've preferred to see Stanley on an electric bass, but this was still pretty great. :D

@Jae Beez and what i say is; this does not quite kick Daryl's House's ass but it certainly could run right along side it
Jae Beez
