Fool
Unveiling Hidden Desires: Decoding Promised Maybes' 'Fool'
Lyrics
Let out a word
Expressing a suppressed or unspoken thought or feeling
You never heard
Refers to an unheard or overlooked expression
It's in my head
Indicates internal thoughts or emotions
Let out a scream
Releasing intense emotions, possibly within a subconscious state
Inside a dream
Describing an emotional experience within a dream
Remember when?
Recalling a past memory or event
Don't be faithful
Advising against blind loyalty, suggesting it doesn't suit
It won't look good on you
Contrast between fidelity and personal appearance
I looked good on you
Asserting that the speaker looked good in a situation without faithfulness
Held in a thought
Keeping a thought restrained or controlled, in line with past teachings
Like I was taught
Reflecting on a past learning or advice
Once when I felt
Recalling a time of emotional sensitivity
You looked at me
Describing a gaze with a hint of allure or temptation
Seductively
Indicating secrecy or unwillingness to disclose certain experiences
I'll never tell
Commitment to keeping certain moments private
Don't be faithful
Reiterating the theme of avoiding blind loyalty for aesthetic reasons
It won't look good on you
Reaffirming the idea that faithfulness may not enhance one's appearance
I looked good on you
Highlighting the speaker's attractiveness without fidelity
Don't be faithful
Repeating the caution against blind loyalty for personal appeal
It won't look good on you
Reiterating the notion that faithfulness may not enhance one's appearance
I looked good on you
Emphasizing the speaker's attractiveness without fidelity
With only the trees watching you and me
Describing a private moment with nature as the sole witness
And only the moon
Emphasizing the serene setting with only the moon as illumination
Lighting the innocence of youth
Connecting the moonlight to the purity of youth
With only the trees watching you and me
Repeating the private moment with nature as the observer
And only the moon
Reiterating the serene setting with only the moon as illumination
Lighting the innocence
Stressing the innocence associated with past youth
Of what used to be our youth
Reflecting on what youth used to be
The moment passed us by
Acknowledging the passage of a significant moment
The moment passed us by
Reiterating the acknowledgment of a missed opportunity
That May night I almost felt again
Recalling a specific night and the potential for rekindling emotions
(You looked like a fool)
Suggesting that someone appeared foolish on that particular night
That May night I almost felt again
Repeating the sentiment of almost experiencing emotions on that night
(You looked like a fool)
Reiterating the idea that someone appeared foolish during that experience
(You looked like a fool)
Repetition emphasizing the perceived foolishness
(You looked like a fool)
Continued emphasis on someone looking foolish in that moment
The moment passed us by
Final acknowledgment of the missed opportunity
