Fool Yourself
Unveiling Self-Deception: Fool Yourself by Slippy & The Sheets
Lyrics
It's that time of year again
Refers to a recurring time, possibly a challenging or reflective period.
When you seem to just pretend and say "good grief"
Suggests a tendency to feign emotions, expressing a resigned acknowledgment ("good grief").
I could never be that mean, not to your belief
Denies the capability of being intentionally hurtful, emphasizing personal values.
Agree to disagree
Encourages accepting differences without discord.
It's right up, up around the bend
Indicates a turning point or change in direction.
The charm is starting to sink in
Describes the gradual attraction or appeal of a situation.
And there you go, you already seem to know
Observes a sense of awareness in someone, possibly anticipating actions.
To grab it all
Encourages seizing opportunities or experiences.
It's for you and no one else
Highlights a personal and exclusive connection to the experience.
So don't fool yourself
Advises against self-deception, maintaining authenticity.
To think you are someone else
Warns against adopting a false identity or persona.
But if you do, don't be surprised
Acknowledges the possibility of assuming a different identity but warns of consequences.
When you wake up just to find yourself alone
Suggests a consequence of loneliness resulting from self-deception.
'Cause you're the problem, you know
Identifies self-awareness, recognizing one's contribution to personal challenges.
It's that time of year again
Reiterates the recurrence of a challenging period.
You think deserves your respect
Addresses the belief in deserving respect based on deeds.
With one good deed and you're back up off your feet
Notes the temporary nature of positive actions and subsequent challenges.
Oh so when will you see that
Questions the realization of the persistent nature of challenges.
It will never be
Conveys the insufficiency of positive actions to undo past challenges.
Enough to reverse all that's done
Highlights the enduring impact of past events.
The tension built has kept you up
Describes the tension arising from unresolved issues.
Until there it goes, it breaks under a thumb
Depicts a breaking point under pressure, possibly a moment of realization.
Oh all the twist and turns have only just begun
Emphasizes the beginning of a complex and unpredictable journey.
So don't fool yourself
Reiterates the warning against self-deception and false identities.
To think you are someone else
Repeats the caution about assuming a different identity and its consequences.
But if you do, don't be surprised
Reiterates the potential loneliness resulting from self-deception.
When you wake up just to find yourself alone
Reiterates the consequence of waking up alone due to self-deception.
'Cause you're the problem, you know
Reaffirms self-awareness of being a contributing factor to personal challenges.
So don't fool yourself
Repeats the advice against self-deception and false identities.
To think you are someone else
Reiterates the warning about the consequences of assuming a different identity.
But if you do, don't be surprised
