Fooled Myself
Illusions Unveiled: Fooled Myself by Angus & Julia Stone
Lyrics
Tragic day, In my mind
Experiencing a tragic event that preoccupies the mind.
Fast car, broken down
A situation where a fast car has broken down, potentially symbolizing a sudden halt or failure.
Said I think I'm right
Expressing a belief in being correct, confident in a decision or perception.
But I'm moving slow
Despite feeling right, there's a lack of progress or a slow pace in movement.
His hand they shake, as I go home
An individual's hands shaking as someone departs, possibly indicating emotional distress or vulnerability.
Seems like everything, Is gone
A feeling of loss or emptiness where everything seems to have disappeared.
Seems I fooled myself, once again
A realization of self-deception or being misled once more.
And I drink it all to the rising sun
Consuming alcohol in acknowledgment or tribute to a new day starting.
To say I fooled, myself, once again
An admission of being deceived or mistaken again.
I said I fooled myself, once again
Reiteration of self-deception, acknowledging being misled repeatedly.
I"m gonna close these eyes, for days
Intending to shut one's eyes for an extended period, possibly denoting withdrawal or emotional distancing.
She's hour glass slowly fine
A metaphorical description of someone, possibly a lover, as an hourglass, gradually changing or slipping away with time.
See I built these walls but I'll give them down
Although creating barriers, there's an intention to dismantle them.
What's left of me, is on the ground
Feeling emotionally shattered or reduced to a vulnerable state.
It seems like everything has gone
A repetition of the feeling of loss or emptiness where everything has vanished.
Seems I fooled myself once again
Recognition of self-deception yet again, a cycle of being misled.
I'll drink it all to the rising sun
Drinking as a tribute to the beginning of a new day, possibly to numb emotions or cope with deception.
To say i fooled myself once again
Acknowledging being fooled once more.
Said I fooled myself, once again
Repeated admission of self-deception or being misled.
Said I fooled myself, once again
Reiteration of being fooled, emphasizing the repetition of self-deception.
Said I fooled myself, once again
Continued repetition, highlighting the ongoing cycle of self-deception or deception by others.
Said I fooled myself, once again.
Further emphasis on being misled or deceiving oneself repeatedly.
