Fairytale
Alexander Rybak ( www.ShirazPatogh.us ) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I was younger
I kinda liked
A girl I knew
She was mine and we were sweethearts
That was then but then it's true
I'm in love with a fairytale
Cause I don't care if
I lose my mind
I'm already cursed
Every day
We started fighting
Every night
We fell in love
No one else
Could make me sadder
But no one else
Could lift me high above
I don't know what I was doin'
But suddenly we fell apart
Nowadays
I cannot find her
But when I do
We'll get a brand new start
I'm in love with a fairytale
Even though it hurts
Cause I don't care if
I lose my mind
I'm already cursed
She's a fairytale
Yeaaah
Even though it hurts
Cause I don't care
If I lose my mind
I'm already cursed
In "Fairytale," Alexander Rybak reminisces about a past love that he had a tumultuous relationship with. He explains that even though there were fights and arguments every day, they still fell in love every night. The relationship was intense and emotionally exhausting, but he couldn't help being in love with the idea of the fairytale romance they shared. The chorus of the song repeats the line "I'm in love with a fairytale" multiple times, emphasizing this idea that Rybak is in love with the fantasy of love rather than the reality of his relationship.
The second verse takes a bit of a sad turn, as Rybak explains that they eventually fell apart and he hasn't been able to find her since. Despite the challenges they faced, he still holds onto the idea that they could have a "brand new start" if they were ever to find each other again.

Years ago, when I was younger
I kinda liked a girl I knew
She was mine and we were sweethearts
That was then, but then it's true
I'm in love with a fairytale
Even though it hurts
'Cause I don't care if I lose my mind
I'm already cursed
Every day, we started fighting
Every night, we fell in love
No one else could make me sadder
But no one else could lift me high above
I don't know what I was doin'
When suddenly, we fell apart
Nowadays, I cannot find her
But when I do
We'll get a brand new start
I'm in love with a fairytale
Even though it hurts
'Cause I don't care if I lose my mind
I'm already cursed
She's a fairytale
Yeah
Even though it hurts
'Cause I don't care if I lose my mind
I'm already cursed
