NOT A LOVE SONG
The song is actually not a love song but written with a former employer in mind
DUNNING-KRUGER EFFECT
Some leaders tend to overstate their abilities. Not uncommon, I guess. Or maybe I've just been unlucky
PARADISE LOST INSPIRATION
We will never know if the theme in "Rule of fools" would have come to life without Paradise Lost's "Christendom"
REPETITIVE STRUCTURE
The song consists of the same 8 chords being repeated for 8 verses with vocals. I like the concept of repetition and would like to explore that idea again in future songs
- Quotes by Remi Thomsen
VERSE 1
The rule of fools
Says the harder the better
Your every word makes me more concerned
I cry
VERSE 2
Rise and shine
Control all your demons
If we tried to see how the end will be
It's not right/We'd be trying to make things right
VERSE 3
Your light is bright
I hide in your shadows
As the years went by I stopped asking why
It died
VERSE 4
Tonight we’re fine
I cried so many rivers
If we're near the end, then let's not pretend
We're alive
VERSE 5
The rule of fools
Says the harder the better
Your every word makes me more concerned
Makes a grown man cry
VERSE 6
Rise and shine
Control all your demons
If we tried to see how the end will be
It's not right/We'd be trying to make things right
VERSE 7
Your light is bright
I hide in your shadows
As the years went by I stopped asking why
IAnd that's why my light has died
VERSE 8
Tonight we’re fine
I cried so many rivers
If we're near the end, then let's not pretend
That we'll make it out alive
