NOT A LOVE SONG
The song is actually not love song but written with a former employer in mind
PARADISE LOST INSPIRATION
We will never know if the theme in "Rule of fools" would have come to life without Paradise Lost's "Christendom"
DONNING-KRUGER EFFECT
Some leaders tend to overstate their abilities. Not uncommon, I guess. Or maybe I've just been unlucky
REPETITIVE STRUCTURE
The song consist of the same 8 chords being repeated for 8 verses with vocals. I like the concept of repetition and would like to do that some more 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/makes a grown man 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/And that's why my light has 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/That we'll make it out alive
