Lyric

Foolish Darling

JACKPOT031

How funny, you’ve fallen again

Still wandering down this endless road

Never learning, yet chasing something

Thinking it's yours to hold

Wearing a face like you understand

Gazing at the sky so wise

But you know nothing at all

Pretending you’ve seen the light

Foolish darling

Wounded, broken, yet reaching out

Clinging tight to fragile hope

Still believing, still holding on

Foolish darling

Struggling, stumbling, standing still

Yet you never cease to live

How amusing it is to watch you

You turn your hatred into love

Wrap it up in pretty words

But the little lies inside your hands

You pretend they’re never heard

Seeking justice once again

So quick to judge the guilty

Yet your hands are stained the same

Still, you act so pure and clean

Foolish darling

Repeating all your past mistakes

Never learning, still you fight

Dreaming of tomorrow’s light

Foolish darling

A heart that’s full of contradictions

Yet you never cease to live

And I can’t help but watch you

Foolish yet so beautiful

Laughable but blinding bright

Such a thing, so fragile still

And I, I’ll keep watching you

Foolish darling

Falling, failing, reaching out

Clinging tight to fragile hope

Still believing, still holding on

Foolish darling

Hopeless, empty, grasping nothing

Yet you never cease to live

And somehow, I still love you

Falling once more, crying again

Yet still, you keep walking on

That is who you are

    Foolish Darling

    JACKPOT031

"Foolish Darling" is a song told from the perspective of a being that has quietly watched humanity -- for a very long time.

The "darling" in this piece is all of us:
imperfect, unfinished, yet trying desperately to live.
The word "foolish" here is filled with affection --
a return to the original sense of "cute": to cherish something still incomplete.
It's a gaze that doesn't look away, even from our mistakes, our hypocrisy, or our foolishness.

The "foolish darlings" fall, get hurt, reach for nothing --
and still, they keep walking, believing in tomorrow.
Even then, the observer does not judge.
No praise, no blame.

Because to be human
is to be foolish --
and that, too, is beautiful.
