Hallways
Grimes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see inside myself and I know when I go
Little bird flying in the night, if only I, fly

Oh, fantasy
Oh, fantasy
Oh, fantasy

I fell in your arms, take my hands until I'm filled
We fell apart (fell apart)

Oh no, baby we fall, fall deep then climb
Until we feel, until the sky

Oh, fantasy
Oh, fantasy
Oh, fantasy

Nightfall, nightfall
My home, my home, my home

Oh, fantasy
Oh, my fantasy
Take your heart and go to fantasy
Oh, in my fantasy
Oh, no, oh fantasy
Oh, oh, oh, oh fantasy

Overall Meaning

The song 'Hallways' by Grimes appears to be about self-exploration and the desire for freedom. The opening lines "I see inside myself and I know when I go, little bird flying in the night, if only I fly" suggests that the singer is aware of their innermost thoughts and feelings, and is ready to take flight to explore them. The imagery of the little bird flying in the night implies a sense of freedom and adventure, but also a feeling of vulnerability in the darkness. The repeated refrain of "Oh, fantasy" seems to express a longing for something elusive and maybe unattainable, perhaps a perfect world where the singer can truly be free and fly without fear.


The second verse "I fell in your arms, take my hands until I'm filled, we fell apart" could be interpreted in different ways, but it may suggest a romantic relationship that is not working out despite the efforts of both partners. The use of falling imagery and the phrase "we fell apart" may suggest that the relationship was doomed from the start, but the desire for connection and fulfillment remains. The lines "Oh no, baby we fall, fall deep then climb, until we feel, until the sky" may be a message of hope, that despite the setbacks and disappointments, there is always a chance to rise again and reach new heights. The final verse "Take your heart and go to fantasy, Oh, in my fantasy, Oh, no, oh fantasy, Oh, oh, oh, oh fantasy" seems to return to the theme of fantasy and the longing for a better world. The idea of taking one's heart and going to fantasy implies a conscious decision to leave behind unpleasant realities and immerse oneself in a more idealistic and imaginative realm.


Line by Line Meaning

I see inside myself and I know when I go
I am aware of myself and my inner essence, and know when it's time to move on


Little bird flying in the night, if only I, fly
I'm envious of the freedom of a bird in the night and wish to have the power of flight


Oh, fantasy
A recurring thought or an idea in my mind that takes me away from reality


I fell in your arms, take my hands until I'm filled
I trust and love my partner enough to let them fill my soul until I'm content


We fell apart (fell apart)
Our relationship started falling apart


Oh no, baby we fall, fall deep then climb
We may hit rock-bottom, but we'll gather strength to rise and conquer all hurdles


Until we feel, until the sky
We'll keep working hard, until we attain our dreams and touch the sky


Nightfall, nightfall
Dusk, bringing upon the night sky


My home, my home, my home
Home, symbolizing a place of comfort and familiarity


Take your heart and go to fantasy
Allow yourself to dream and switch off the world for a while


Oh, in my fantasy
My imaginations and my wishful thinking


Oh, no, oh fantasy
Realizing the need to snap out of a fantasy and face the reality


Oh, oh, oh, oh fantasy
Constantly being drawn towards daydreaming and thinking about the unreal world
