For the desired effect
Would you come back August or June, June
And I hate that tomorrow's too soon
But this collision, came mid bloom
Better built to resume
I'll see you August, see you June
I'm building higher than I can see
I want fantasy
Don't rest with the less
I'm burning to impress
It's deep in the middle of me
I can be fantasy

For the desired effect
Would you come back August or June, June
And I hate that tomorrow's December
But this collision, came mid bloom

Better built to resume
I'll see you August, see you June
I'm building higher than I can see
I want fantasy

Don't rest with the less
I'm burning to impress
It's deep in the middle of me
I can be fantasy

"This song is about unrequited love or wanting so badly to be in a relationship and that position to have someone to love, and love in return ('I'm burning to impress') be comfortable and yourself around that person completely, basically by saying ('I can be fantasy') its trying to prove all these emotions and feelings you want to feel and can share with someone."
(This is what someone else said it meant so it isn't in my own choice of words but I thought if I shared it on here you guys would get a better meaning of what this song is about.)

Each of us lives, dependent, and bound by our individual knowledge and our awareness. All that, is what we call “reality”. However, both knowledge and awareness is equivocal. One’s reality might be another’s illusion. We all live inside of our own fantasies…

Into the void

in short, it's called relativism
