Fools
Troye Sivan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need time to replace what I gave away
And my hopes, they are high, I must keep them small
Though I try to resist I still want it all
I see swimming pools and living rooms and aeroplanes
I see a little house on the hill and children's names
I see quiet nights poured over ice and Tanqueray
Only fools fall for you, only fools
Only fools do what I do, only fools fall
Only fools fall for you, only fools
Only fools do what I do, only fools fall
Oh, our lives don't collide, I'm aware of this
The differences and impulses and your obsession with
The little things you like stick, and I like aerosol
Don't give a fuck, not giving up, I still want it all
Only fools fall for you, only fools
Only fools do what I do, only fools fall
Only fools fall for you, only fools
Only fools do what I do, only fools fall
I see swimming pools and living rooms and aeroplanes
I see a little house on the hill and children's names
I see quiet nights part over ice and Tanqueray
But everything is shattering and it's my mistake
Only fools fall for you, only fools fall
Only fools do what I do, only fools fall
Only fools fall for you, only fools fall
Only fools do what I do, only fools fall
Only fools fall for you (only fools)
Only fools do what I do (only fools)
Only fools fall for you (only fools)
Only fools do what I do, only fools fall
(Only fools)
(Only fools)
(Only fools)
(Only fools)
The lyrics of Troye Sivan's song FOOLS convey a sense of regret and frustration over past decisions and mistakes made in a relationship. The opening lines express a desire for change and the need to move on from a situation that has become tiring and unfulfilling. The singer hopes that people will change, and that they will be able to replace what they have given away in the pursuit of the relationship. However, their hopes are tempered by the fear of getting hurt again and the realization that they must keep their expectations modest.
The second verse paints a picture of the kind of life that the singer desires, with swimming pools, living rooms, airplanes, and children's names. They long for the peace and quiet of quiet nights with a drink in their hand, but they are aware that everything is shattering around them due to their own mistakes. The refrain "only fools fall for you, only fools" is repeated throughout the song, conveying a sense of frustration and self-blame. The singer realizes that they have made foolish choices and that their obsession with the relationship has led them down a destructive path.
Overall, the song's lyrics depict a conflicted and emotional state of mind. It conveys the pain and regret of failed relationships, as well as the fear and distrust that can arise from those experiences. The refrain "only fools fall for you" captures the sense of foolishness that people can feel when they become enamoured with someone, even when that attachment is ultimately harmful to them.
