What Kind of Fool
Discovering Precious Wisdom: What Kind of Fool Lyrics UnveiledLyrics
Can't see the wood for all of the trees
Unable to see the bigger picture due to the overwhelming details
Can't hear the wind for the breeze that whispers
Unable to perceive the important message amidst trivial distractions
Voice in your head, you like what it said
Being influenced by the persuasive thoughts within one's mind
So what can you do but listen to it?
Feeling compelled to heed the voice despite uncertainty or hesitation
What kind of fool
Questioning the nature of foolishness
Lays all that's precious to waste?
Asking what kind of fool would squander valuable things
What kind of fool
Asking what kind of fool would abandon their precious possessions to decay
Leaves all their treasure to rust in the rain?
Recognizing the potential need for those neglected things in the future
They'll need it again when the sky clears
Anticipating the eventual necessity for the abandoned items when conditions improve
What kind of fool
Pondering the foolishness of not uncovering valuable things
Won't discover the jewel
Realizing one's failure to find something precious
'Til the dust clears ?
Understanding the value only when clarity emerges after a period of confusion or neglect
Fools like us
Identifying with being foolish in certain situations
Fools who want more than they've treasured before
Describing the tendency to desire more than what has been cherished previously
Wanting the dawn of the brightest morning
Seeking a brighter, more promising future or outcome
Reach for the stars 'cause they're sweeter by far
Striving for greater achievements or rewards because they seem more appealing
Than the moon 'though she's brighter
Comparing the attractiveness of different goals, favoring the one perceived as better despite its distance
And closer to you
Highlighting the allure of distant goals over closer, seemingly less appealing ones
