The Fool
Echoes of Foolish Regret: Mellon Collie's Melancholic Reflections
Lyrics
Lost in time in a memory of you
Reflecting on a past moment with emotional intensity, encapsulated in memories of a person.
Thinking about the things we left behind
Contemplating the aspects of the past that were left behind or abandoned.
Missing the old days when you were my girl
Longing for the nostalgia of a previous time when the person addressed was romantically involved.
I really like to think that you'll come back
Expressing hope or wishful thinking about the person returning.
But you're already gone
Realizing the person has already departed or moved on.
You're so far away
Acknowledging the significant physical or emotional distance between the speaker and the person.
And I feel strange, I just can't feel fine
Feeling emotionally unsettled and not at peace.
But the demons are haunting my mind
Experiencing internal struggles or conflicts represented by the metaphorical "demons" in the mind.
And I don't know where I want to go
Expressing uncertainty about the future and direction in life.
If you are the only place I know
Highlighting the person as a significant anchor or point of reference in the speaker's life.
But I guess it's just the price I have to pay
Accepting the consequences or hardships as a result of choices made in the past.
For being a fool
Acknowledging one's own foolish actions or decisions.
Now every night that I dream of you
Experiencing recurring dreams about the person, followed by emotional distress upon waking.
Just to wake up the next day and cry
Expressing the emotional pain and sadness that persists during the waking hours.
I'll never understand why I did what I did
Confusion and regret about past actions that remain incomprehensible.
Why do I always hurt the ones I love
Questioning a pattern of causing harm to those who are loved.
And I feel strange, I just can't feel fine
Reiterating the emotional unrest and lack of inner peace.
But the demons are haunting my mind
Continued struggles with internal conflicts or negative thoughts.
And I don't know where I want to go
Reiterating uncertainty about the future and direction in life.
If you are the only place I know
Emphasizing the person as a crucial and perhaps the only meaningful aspect of the speaker's life.
And I feel strange, I just can't feel fine
Reiteration of emotional unrest and lack of inner peace.
But the demons are haunting my mind
Continued struggles with internal conflicts or negative thoughts.
And I don't know where I want to go
Reiterating uncertainty about the future and direction in life.
If you are the only place I know
Emphasizing the person as a crucial and perhaps the only meaningful aspect of the speaker's life.
But I guess it's just the way it has to be
Acceptance of the inevitable, acknowledging that certain difficulties or hardships are unavoidable.
And I guess it's just the way
Stating that certain circumstances are simply the way they have to be.
It motherfucking has to be
Emphasizing the inevitability of challenging circumstances, using strong language.
I guess it's just the way it has to be...
Reiteration of the acceptance of unavoidable difficulties.
For being a Fool
Acknowledgment of one's own foolishness, perhaps as a recurring theme in the speaker's life.
