Everybody's Fool
Unveiling Deception: Evanescence's Everybody's Fool Revealed
Lyrics
Perfect by nature
Commenting on the concept of perfection as innate.
Icons of self indulgence
Referring to societal figures characterized by self-centeredness.
Just what we all need
Sarcastically suggesting that such figures are what society desires.
More lies about a world that
Pointing out the proliferation of falsehoods about an idealized world.
Never was and never will be
Rejecting the existence of the idealized world.
Have you no shame don't you see me
Expressing disappointment and questioning if there's any shame.
You know you've got everybody fooled
Accusing the subject of deceiving everyone.
Look here she comes now
Observing the subject's arrival with admiration.
Bow down and stare in wonder
Advising others to bow down in admiration.
Oh how we love you
Expressing love for the subject in their assumed perfection.
No flaws when you're pretending
Acknowledging the absence of flaws in pretense.
But now I know she
Realizing the true nature of the subject.
Never was and never will be
Reiterating the rejection of an idealized world.
You don't know how you've betrayed me
Expressing a sense of betrayal by the subject.
And somehow you've got everybody fooled
Reiterating the accusation of deceiving others.
Without the mask where will you hide
Raising a question about the subject's true identity without pretense.
Can't find yourself lost in your lie
Highlighting the difficulty in self-discovery within a web of lies.
I know the truth now
Claiming to have discovered the truth about the subject.
I know who you are
Affirming recognition of the subject's true identity.
And I don't love you anymore
Declaring a loss of love due to the revealed truth.
Never was and never will be
Reiterating the rejection of an idealized world.
You don't know how you've betrayed me
Expressing a sense of betrayal by the subject.
And somehow you have everybody fooled
Reiterating the accusation of deceiving others.
It never was and never will be
Emphasizing the perpetual rejection of an idealized world.
You're not real and you can't save me
Asserting the subject's lack of authenticity and inability to provide salvation.
Somehow now you're everybody's fool
Concluding that the subject is now seen as a fool by everyone.
