What Kind of Fool Am I
Velasquez Regine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who never fall in love
It seems that I'm the only one
That I have been thinking of
What kind of mind is this
An empty Shell,
A lonely cell,
In which, an empty heart must dwell
What do I know of life?
Why can't I cast away this mask of clay
And live my life
Why can't I fall in love
Like any other girl
And maybe the I'll know
What kind of fool I am?
What kind of lips are these?
That lie with every kiss
That whisper empty words of love
That left me alone like this
Why can't I fall in love
Like any other girl
And maybe then I'll know
What kind of fool am I.
The lyrics of Velasquez Regine's song "What Kind Of Fool Am I" express the feeling of loneliness and emptiness of the singer, who seems unable to fall in love like everybody else. The first stanza suggests that the singer is puzzled by her own inability to experience romantic love and wonders why she seems to be the only one in this situation. The second stanza highlights the singer's sense of alienation from herself and her environment, as if she were living in an empty shell, a lonely cell, with an empty heart. The third stanza suggests that the singer is also aware of the gap between her own life experience and that of others, as she questions her own capacity to understand life and sheds light on the mask she is wearing to hide her true self.
The chorus of the song repeats the question "What kind of fool am I?" with variations that evoke the singer's frustration and despair, as she wonders why she can't fall in love and live her life like any other girl. The last stanza introduces a new motif, that of the singer's lips, which lie with every kiss and whisper empty words of love that leave her alone. This motif suggests that the singer may have had some traumatic experiences with love and that this may be the reason why she is unable to fall in love again.
Overall, the lyrics of "What Kind Of Fool Am I" evoke a sense of melancholy and uncertainty, as the singer questions her own identity and her place in the world. The song offers a poignant reflection on the human condition, on the difficulty of finding love and of being true to oneself in a world that often seems hostile and alienating.
