Fool For The Blues
Love's Deceptive Dance: Navigating Heartache in Johnny Hallyday's 'Fool For The Blues'
Lyrics
Don't say you love me babe,
Expressing doubt about the sincerity of the professed love.
I know you'd be lying
Acknowledging the expectation of deception or falsehood.
I can see it in your smile
Observing insincerity in the partner's smile.
It's like a drug now
Comparing the impact of love to a drug, suggesting addiction.
You're addicted to them blues
Describing the partner as addicted to melancholic feelings (blues).
Always getting high
Highlighting a constant pursuit of emotional highs.
Oh ! But the rain it falls
Introducing the metaphorical rain symbolizing emotional challenges.
From the way I feel, the way I feel
Emphasizing the emotional weight through personal feelings.
Empty souls and empty hearts
Referring to people with unfulfilled and emotionally vacant lives.
We don't choose, I'm still a
Expressing a lack of choice in being a fool for the blues.
Fool the blues
Reiterating the theme of being a fool for the blues.
Oh those bitter words
Describing hurtful words and their impact on the speaker.
How they hurt me baby
Questioning if the partner has experienced similar pain.
Do someone hurt you bad ?
Suggesting a shared experience of emotional wounds.
All this pain
Addressing the universal pain within everyone.
We have inside all of us
Reflecting on the pain originating from unfulfilled love.
From the love we never had
Connecting the pain to the absence of love.
Oh ! And the rain still falls
Reintroducing the metaphorical rain amid ongoing challenges.
But I know baby through it all
Expressing determination to endure difficulties in love.
Oh ! They say time will heal
Referencing the common belief that time can heal emotional wounds.
But I know from the way I feel, the way I feel
Contrasting the hopeful notion with the speaker's persistent pain.
Empty souls and empty hearts we don't choose
Highlighting the lack of choice in having empty souls and hearts.
I'm still a fool the blues
Confirming the continued identity as a fool for the blues.
Empty souls and empty hearts we don't choose
Repeating the idea of emptiness in souls and hearts without choice.
I'm still a fool the blues.
Affirming the ongoing identity as a fool for the blues.
