Fool
The Winner Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

내 눈앞에서 사라져
독하고 모진 말들도
서슴없이 내질렀던
내 모습은 누가 봐도

I was a fool
이제 와 미안해봤자
달라지는 건 없잖아 I know
욕이라도 괜찮아
그마저 아깝겠지만 yeah
네 목소리라도 듣고 싶어

멍청한 놈 어리석은 놈
다 내 탓이란 걸 이젠 알아
모자란 놈 바보 같은 놈
다 내 탓이란 걸 이젠 알아
Baby I was a fool
I was a fool

I said 이기적이야 여태 난 항상
나 밖엔 모르는 것 같아
미친 것 같아 나라는 사람
널 밀어내 버린 건 나야
Oh I was a fool
Oh baby I was a fool
이제 와 후회해봤자
달라지는 건 없잖아 I know

잠깐이라도 괜찮아
마지막 모습이라도
다시 한번 널 볼 수 있다면

멍청한 놈 어리석은 놈
다 내 탓이란 걸 이젠 알아
모자란 놈 바보 같은 놈
다 내 탓이란 걸 이젠 알아
Baby I was a fool
I was a fool uh

눈부시게 빛나던 넌 멀리멀리로
흩어져버린 기억들을 더듬고
네가 그리워 매일매일
Yes I know I'm late late
아무 일 없는 듯이 돌아와 줘 baby
눈부시게 빛나던 넌 멀리멀리로

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the song "The Fool" by The Winners reflect the realization of a person who has made mistakes in love and is now regretful for not seeing the truth earlier. The opening lines talk about disappearing in front of the person's own eyes, and even though they spoke harshly and unreservedly, they still could not understand their own foolishness. They understand now that they were wrong to push away their loved one who they miss dearly every day.


The chorus repeats the line "I was a fool" several times, emphasizing the regret and acceptance of past mistakes. The person takes responsibility for their actions and acknowledges that they were selfish, ignorant, and foolish. They now understand that everything that went wrong was their own fault, and nothing can change that.


In the end, the person holds on to hope that they can see their loved one again, even if it's just for a moment. The lyrics express the desire to go back in time and make things right but ultimately accept that it may be too late. The song's emotional lyrics, paired with its gentle melody, create a melancholic atmosphere that can resonate with anyone who has experienced lost love.

Theory (after years lol)

We saw the mv was full with 3 colors: white(purity, innocence, new beginning), red(sign of sins) and black(sins and regrets)

Seungyoon - killed his lover (jealousy probably for some reason)
he and his lover were taking pics. they were in white which shows the purity happiness innocence in their life. Yoon was capturing all the happy moments with his lover, but the camera lens was red(sign of sins) that showed hand prints on her neck. this clearly shows he choked her to death. when he was wearing white he still didn't realise his mistakes. at some point we see girls in white surrounding his. this symbolises his death. he probably killed himself when he realised his mistakes. idk what to explain more on this

Seunghoon - Accident of his lover
since start we cld see he was in black which shows that he always knew his mistakes and was regretful for his lover's death as shown in the mv he got into an accident probably with his lover. he wasn't careful enough which lead them to the accident where his lover died but he didn't. him throwing his helmet and it lighting up fire shows how the explosion caused by the accident and his lover burned to death. we also see him being surrounded by ppl in white just like Yoon which symbolise he is dead too. he probably took his own life bcuz of the guilt for causing his lover's death and loneliness.

Jinwoo - his lover/fiancée was killed or something
in the mv we see a white dress burning, a wedding dress probably. his fiancée was killed on their wedding day i guess, so he went on a search for the killer. we see him checking CCTV footage to find clues. later we see the killer's face who burned the dress/ his fiancée, which was actually himself. he killed his own fiancée but doesn't remember anything so he thot of finding the killer. he was wearing red in his first scene in the mv which shows the signs of sins. in the middle of the mv he was wearing white which means he didn't know he was the murderer all along bcuz he lost his memories. he was probably a psycho and burned his fiancée on the wedding day then forgot what happened. after knowing he was the killer he realises his mistakes.

mino - His words were hurtful which might be the cause of his wife/lover's death or maybe she's alive and just hurt. (idk)
in the mv he was a painter i guess and didn't gave much time to his wife and just painted all the time. his wife ruined his painting once thinking he wld spend time but instead it made him angry and he ended up saying things that hurt more than anything cld and caused her to leave him. now we see a girl in a mask holding a painting. the painting shows a black face with red paint which means "face your own sins" i guess. and the girl follows him everywhere but he doesn't face her(his mistakes) and just ran away. we also see the girl ruining his painting on the wall with black spray which symbolise his regrets and sins he made when his wife ruined his painting once. he doesn't admit his mistakes and blames his wife for making him bad. but then he later decides to face the girl and tears the painting to see a mirror which reflects himself which symbolize his all the sins he made and to make him reflect on his mistakes.

Sorry for any grammatical mistakes or if i missed anything or am wrong abt anything

“When I was first writing the song ‘Fool’…I may have been inspired to write lyrics of longing while missing Nam Taehyun. 'Fool’ does actually contain those emotions. I did start writing the song with the motif of missing Taehyun.” - SEUNGYOON

“I still dream about Nam Taehyun. Whenever I dream, WINNER is still five members. I think that my unconscious still thinks that we’re five members. It can’t be helped.” - SEUNGHOON

“We were trainees together for a very long time. On top of that, we became WINNER thanks to our fans who voted for the five of us so we have a history. There will always be a part of our hearts that will feel that void. I think that’s why all of us miss him.” - SEUNGYOON

"Now we're four, so we have to accept that. But I think in our fans' hearts, it will forever be the five of us. I don't want to erase the five-member WINNER, but please support us as four members as well." - SEUNGYOON

GUYS JUST KILL ME ALREADY JUST STAB ME THATS LESS PAINFUL THAN THIS IM DYING WHY

(Ok but winner is SO mature... one of the few groups I have ever seen that doesn't try to act like a member doesn't exist anymore after they leave. Their bond is so strong, I'm in tears
Winner out here choking all of taehyun's haters😭 I really thank them for giving taehyun and fans closure and proving that they still love and cherish each other and winner as five so much. Also I'm going to say it again SEUNGYOON IS SO MATURE, BEST NAGGY LEADER MAKNAE EVER😭)

@ermitsong9607

I don't think Winner is a underrated group especially now, they are loved by the general public yet inner circle is not big of a fandom. People tend to think they are underrated just because they are not a mainstream boygroup like Bts, Exo or Got7 and the fact that they are from YG. Plus not many can appreciate this kind of music, it's beautiful but some Kpop fans rather stick to trendy concept. Winner is not a typical kpop boygroup for me they are just different. They sell their own music and own style rather than selling a certain concept that everybody expects from them. From what i see Winner values their music more than popularity.

@salmatsouli5518

Ermit Song you said everything 👏👏👏

@ashrafabdillah5369

Ermit Song this is why I keep saying WINNER shouldn't be an "idol group" because they don't fit that. they're better than what typical kpop is because tbh, not trying to shit on other kpop groups (cause I love other groups to) but WINNER is above it. they're music in terms of quality is world class. this song in particular is beautiful. they're poets and artists. this is the kind of music rarely found in kpop and it's great. I keep saying to my friends that WINNER should just sign with universal music or Warner music or something. They make greatness and deserve to be seen as such by more people.

@aintnospotupshooter

i agree completely! winner is neither indie nor mainstream. they've got a unique sound to them and although it might not attract the most fans (plenty already and plenty more to come tho, it seems), i love that they won't compromise with their musical vision. takes guts to do that when a lot of today's groups are just going with public-friendly generic bops.

@winnereveryd4y21

your comment is gold :") agree with "They sell their own music and own style"

@nurreiliarie2021

U're right......especially in this song they proof that they deserve to be WINNER
