Call Me A Fool

Live

I can't believe I finally found
The key, the door, the trip
It was all in my mind
Now I'm one with the fools of love

I can't believe I finally found
The prisoner, the free man
Were all in my mind
Now I'm one with the fools of love

These fools of love are misunderstood
The history is with me now

I can't believe my core was shaken
I gave up the ghost
Of everything I was before
Now I'm one with the fools of love

These fools of love are misunderstood
The mystery is with me now

So call me a fool
Call me a fool
Call me a fool

I can't believe my dream is over
I woke up this morning
With nothing but light in my eyes
Now I'm one with the fools of love

I can't believe the key, the door
The clouds that blocked the sun
They were all in my mind
Now I'm one with the fools of love

And these fools of love are misunderstood
The history is with me now

So call me a fool
Call me a fool
Call me a fool

    Am I the only one who interprets the reference to the key and the door as an allusion to Lyra's realization near the end of The Amber Spyglass?

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
