Fool
phemiec Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Boy, you get my guts tied up in such a twisted noisy ruckus
Heaven sent that you are, wouldn't lift a claw or cut me off, cause
Rambling as I ever am I shamble to your chair and stables
Watch you all enraptured as you shuffle cards and stutter fables

Break my habit, you're my habit
I'd trade my limbs for one of you
Two legs for two lips, now I'd say that's a fair trade, wouldn't you?
Drop my habit, you're my habit
I'd trade my habit to get you back
And I'm like a fool without a calling, like a heartsick fool

Boy, you like to play the martyr, but if I pray a little harder
If I close the window and come back here when I'm not so sober
If I said it plainly, not in riddle rhymes all cagey
Would you answer with a smile made of brackets, or look at me strangely?

Break my habit, you're my habit
I'd trade my limbs for one of you
Two legs for two lips, now I'd say that's a fair trade, wouldn't you?
Drop my habit, you're my habit
I'd trade my habit to get you back
And it's you and I again just writing, shiftless, click clack clicking, grinning
Like a fool without a calling
Like a heartsick fool

(A heartsick fool)
(Heartsick fool)
(A heartsick fool)

Boy, you're on the floor
And on my fingers, dripping from my kisses
Eyes so vacant
Would you hate it
If I said you look delicious?

The laughter dies and rots inside me
Brother, it is you all over
Stay beside me here and guide me
Unrequited would-be lover

Took my miracle, you're my miracle
Trade my brains for one of you
Two gods for two voices
I'd say that's a fair trade, wouldn't you?

Need a miracle, you're my miracle
I'd trade a miracle to get you back,
And I'm left without a friend
Soaked to the bone and backwards bent
I'm seeing shades, screaming repent your sickness
Leave it here for lent

Now witness
Here, a fool, without a calling
I'm a heartsick fool




Still the fool without a calling
Still a fucking fool

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to phemiec's song Fool describe the intense emotions and thoughts of a person deeply in love with someone who does not reciprocate their feelings. The song opens with the singer describing the physical and emotional effects of being in love, feeling like their guts are tied up in a twisted, noisy ruckus.

The singer then describes watching the person they love shuffle cards and tell stories, enraptured by them, while they ramble on in their presence.


The chorus of the song expresses the singer's desire to break their habit of loving someone who does not love them back, but they are unable to do so. They express that they would trade their limbs for just a touch or kiss from the person they love, and that they are like a fool without a calling or a heartsick fool because of their unrequited love.


In the second verse, the singer addresses the person they love and asks if they would respond positively if they were to plainly express their feelings, rather than speaking in riddles. The singer continues to express their desire for the person they love, saying that they would trade their brains for just one moment with them.


Overall, the song Fool is a powerful expression of unrequited love and the desperate desire to be loved in return. The singer is consumed by their feelings for the person they love and is unable to break their habit of loving them, even though their love is not returned.

i'm behind schedule for this one T.T i wanted it uploaded by 7:00 at the latest but that's when i finished it instead and rendering took longer than i thought it would. i got too distracted lol. i'm gonna work on inherit nothing now and unless one yall gives me a darn good reason to go back and fix another video i'm done with reuploads and only doing the songs i haven't before. also! idk at what time, but there's a part that goes 'i'd trade a miracle to get you' but you can very lightly see the word 'back' it's because if you listen closely i think it's whispered??? it's in the lyrics phemiec posted on tumblr so i'm just gonna assume it's what i hear \_(' - ')_/

“The laughter dies and rots inside me. Brother, it is you all over.” Those two sentences hit so deep.

Verse 1: Damn this is cute

fair

@TheBathypelagicZone

True that is true.

@obviouslyoblivious242

Even though I don't 'ship' Gamzee and Tavros, I still think this is a beautiful representation of their relationship from Gamzee's perspective. The desperation at the end always tears apart my heart. This is one of my favourite love songs even though it's fan made. It evokes far more heartache than most original love songs released.

@its_a_poncho

Obviously Oblivious very true, gosh i agree with you so much
