Bombay Bicycle Club Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I will take you in a magic purple
Maybe we will find a thousand sugar fish
And when you eat them they will grant your every wish
And if you want your friends to come then bring them all along
If you want to catch a star then walk my way
I will take you where the night is always day
You can follow me if you really try
Maybe we will find a rainbow, teach it to fly
And if you want your friends to come then bring them all along
Bow your head and let your eyelids close on down
Where we're going you won't need to bring your frown
You will find that all the things that I have said
Will come true when you are lying in your bed
And if you want your friends to come then bring them all along
Fairytale Lullaby by Bombay Bicycle Club is a whimsical and imaginative song about escapism and the power of imagination. The lyrics are addressed to someone who is feeling down or troubled, inviting them to come along on a magical adventure. The opening lines set the scene for a fantastical journey, offering to show the person a rainbow that they can ride on. The magical purple mentioned here serves to create a sense of otherworldliness, inviting the listener to suspend their disbelief and enter into the dream world that the song is creating.
The second verse continues with the invitation to explore this magical world, this time offering to show the listener a place where the night is always day. This creates a sense of eternal lightness, playfulness, and joy. The invitation to "follow me if you really try" suggests that accessing this world requires a certain amount of effort and courage. However, the rewards of finding a rainbow and teaching it to fly, an act that seems impossible in the real world, are boundless.
The final verse is a bit more soothing and comforting, suggesting that the listener can find respite from their troubles in this dream world. The invitation to bow their head and let their eyelids close down speaks to the power of sleep and dreams to transport people to a different reality. The assurance that "all the things that I have said will come true when you are lying in your bed" suggests that the listener can find solace in the idea of this magical world, even if they can't access it during waking hours.
Overall, Fairytale Lullaby invites the listener to escape from reality and explore a magical, dream-like world. It's a message of hope and possibility, suggesting that even in the darkest of times, there are ways to find joy and beauty.
