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.
Artist Profile
JACKPOT031
JACKPOT031 (Jackpot-Zero-Three-One) is an AI-driven artist from Hokkaido, Japan. The artist name comes from a cigarette brand once smoked and a number chosen on a whim. Unable to read music, play instruments, or sing well - Even so, motivated by the desire to "release something I was involved in to the world," they began an expressive activity using AI technology. Lyrics and short stories are developed through conversations with ChatGPT, then rewritten and refined in their own words. AI is also used for composing, vocals, and illustration. On October 24, 2024, they posted their first single "Like a Drifting Star" on YouTube, officially starting their activity. Just as AI allowed someone who once gave up on expression to finally bring their work into the world, JACKPOT031 hopes that their activity will become a "spark of expression" for others who have almost given up on creating.
