Fools Gold
Chasing Illusions: Embracing Eternal Youth and Material Obsessions
Lyrics
Hello, hello, hello
Greeting or expression of attention
It's that same old
Referring to a familiar and recurring situation
Familiar face
Seeing a well-known face
Sell this soul
Willing to sacrifice integrity for external attractiveness and wealth
For beauty and gold
Expressing a desire for beauty and material wealth
My Dorian Grey
Referencing Dorian Grey, a literary character known for eternal youth and moral decay
And never get old
Expressing a desire to remain forever young
Never get old
Repetition emphasizing the desire to avoid aging
Never get old
(Repetition emphasizing the desire to avoid aging)
Hello, hello, hello
Repetition of the initial greeting
Mirror on the wall
Addressing a mirror and seeking self-reflection
Who's the fairest in this shire?
Poetically asking who is the most beautiful in the area
Echo pond
Reference to an echoing pond
Is that my own
Questioning if the reflection in the pond is their own
Reflection I desire?
Expressing a desire for a particular reflection
I desire?
Repetition emphasizing the desire for a specific reflection
And never get old, I won't, no
Reaffirming the commitment to remain young
I'll never get old, I won't, no
Further emphasis on the determination to stay young
I'll never get old
Final assertion of the commitment to avoid aging
See, I am shining
Declaring a state of shining or radiance
See, I am young and beautiful
Asserting youth and beauty
And I'll be forever
Claiming eternal existence
Oh, my love, give me
Expressing a plea for love
Oh, my love, give me all
Repetition of the plea for love
My fool's gold
Referring to the love or desire as "fool's gold," suggesting it may be illusory or deceptive
