Like a Fool (feat. Sam Kim)

In 'Like a Fool,' NIve and Sam Kim craft a heartfelt narrative about the overwhelming and almost irrational nature of love. The song opens with a reflection on past days that seemed meaningless until the arrival of a significant other, described as a dream and compared to a shining star in the sky. This metaphor sets the tone for the song, emphasizing how this person brings light and meaning into the singer's life. The desire to see the loved one's smile and face tonight underscores the immediacy and intensity of these emotions.

The lyrics continue to explore the surreal and almost dreamlike feelings that love can evoke. The singer describes seeing the loved one in flickering lights and feeling as if they are on an airplane, suggesting a sense of elevation and disorientation. This imagery captures the euphoric and sometimes confusing experience of being in love. The repeated declaration of loving 'like a fool' highlights the irrational and all-consuming nature of these feelings. Despite any words the loved one might say, their presence alone is enough to bring light into the singer's dark heart, for which they are profoundly grateful.

The song also touches on the idea of permanence and hope in love. The singer expresses a desire to stay by the loved one's side for a long time and hopes for mutual feelings. The comparison of the loved one's voice to the most beautiful song further elevates their significance. The repeated use of the word 'foolish' in the closing lines reinforces the theme of love's irrationality, but also its beauty and purity. 'Like a Fool' is a tender and evocative portrayal of love that feels both deeply personal and universally relatable.
