Cover art for The Fool lyrics by Neutral Milk Hotel

this song reminds me of a jester hanging his head in shame and walking towards the king who will execute him.

...i know, but thats how vivid this song is to me

This is probably completely irrelevant, but in the days of Shakespeare, jesters were referred to as fools. (It wasn't considered an insult to call them that, either...it was just a job description.) So you there's actually some reason for you to think that. That's sort of what it sounds like to me, too.

Haha wow that's a weirdly fitting image, thanks, now I think that's what I'm gonna picture too xD
