Evanescence - Everybody's Fool

Song: Everybody's Fool
Artist: Evanescence
Album: Fallen

Evanescence is an American rock band from Little Rock, Arkansas.

The song Everybody's Fool is about being fake. It's about people (especially famous people) pretending to be someone they're not and/or trying to appear perfect. The song is about people who project an untrue image of themselves and sell that image to people who often idolize that fake image. Lead singer Amy Lee's inspiration for the song came after seeing her younger sister who was really into pop singers. It's about how celebrities and pop stars are often fooling people into beleiving that they are something they're not. And about how people will worship and blindly follow celebrity. I love Evanescence's rock sound and their use of piano. I really love this songs' sound and message.

"Everybody's Fool"

perfect by nature
icons of self-indulgence
just what we all need
more lies about a world that

never was and never will be
have you no shame? Don't you see me?
you know you've got everybody fooled

look here she comes now
bow down and stare in wonder
oh how we love you
no flaws when you're pretending
but now I know she

never was and never will be
you don't know how you've betrayed me
and somehow you've got everybody fooled

without the mask where will you hide?
can't find yourself lost in your lie

I know the truth now
I know who you are
and I don't love you anymore

it never was and never will be
you don't know how you've betrayed me
and somehow you've got everybody fooled

it never was and never will be
you're not real and you can't save me
somehow now you're everybody's fool
