Lyrics
What did I see?
Questioning what the speaker perceived or understood.
Fool that I was
Admitting foolishness or naivety.
Oh, a goddess with wings on her heels
Describing a remarkable and idealized woman with exceptional qualities (comparing her to a goddess).
All my illusions
Referring to the speaker's beliefs and fantasies projected onto the woman.
Projected on her
Highlighting that the woman became a canvas for the speaker's ideals and desires.
The ideal, that I wanted to see
Expressing the speaker's longing for an idealized version of the woman.
What did I know?
Questioning the speaker's knowledge or awareness.
Fool that I was
Admitting foolishness or naivety (repeated).
A little by little I learned
Slowly gaining understanding or realization over time.
My friends were dismayed
Friends were upset witnessing the speaker being deceived.
To see me betrayed
Friends were aware of the betrayal but couldn't intervene.
But they knew they could never tell me
Friends realized they couldn't disclose the truth to the speaker.
What did I care?
Indifference or lack of concern despite warnings or revelations.
Fool that I was
Admitting foolishness or naivety (repeated).
Oh, little by little I burned
Gradually realizing the consequences of being deceived.
Maybe sometimes
Admitting a possibility of flaws despite the idealized image.
There might be a flaw
Recognizing imperfections in the previously perfect image.
But how pretty the picture was back then
Nostalgia for the beauty of the idealized perception despite flaws.
What did I do?
Questioning one's actions or decisions made in the past.
Fool that I was
Admitting foolishness or naivety (repeated).
To profit from youthful mistakes?
Regretting taking advantage of youthful errors or misjudgments.
It's shameful to tell
Expressing shame or embarrassment about past actions.
How often I fell
Repeatedly falling for unrealistic ideals or fantasies.
In love with illusions again
Continuously falling in love with idealized perceptions.
What did I do?
Repeating the question about past actions or decisions.
The fool that I was
Admitting foolishness or naivety (repeated).
To profit from youthful mistakes?
Regretting the exploitation of youthful errors for personal gain.
So shameful to tell
Expressing shame or embarrassment about recurring mistakes.
Just how often I fell
Repeatedly being ensnared by unrealistic ideals or fantasies.
In love with illusions again
Continuously falling in love with idealized perceptions (repeated).
A goddess with wings on her heels
Reaffirmation of the woman's exceptional and idealized attributes.
