Fancy
Austin Gray Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and steal away with me today
i'm fiending your type of relief
so push me further
and make me turn another leaf
cause there ain't nothing here to see
oh baby
you were my baby
but now it's all so
yes it's all so
yes it's all so
yes it's all so out of reach
and i need someone
to believe in me
cause i don't know who to be
no i don't know
no i don't know
no i don't know who to be
what's to be
but i believe
in believing
in the future
and in knowing there's a way
to make changes
to change actions
and find better things to say
we need better things to say
flight of fancy
the sun is streaking high above you
and you just stare up at the trees
you are filled with passion
and emotion
and a burning deep inside
you wanna see her on her knees
have her begging please
don't you leave
and i'd tell her i'm leaving
in the morning
in the evening
i'll be miles underground
heading full steam
for the promised land
cause it's somewhere to be found
it's around now
yes it's somewhere to be found
it's so profound
cause when you believe it
it believes you
it receives you
and it points you on your way
to make changes
to change actions
to find better things to say
we need better things to say
lonely lonely cries the fool up towards the sky
infinite reasons but none will tell you why
why
but still we try
as a people
to make changes
but nothing seems to change
it's the same thing
over and over
but it's all just rearranged
no one sees it
we all see it
but it has too many names
and this vessel
it is sinking
yeah it's going down in flames
and we're all to blame
because our beliefs
are misleading
and defeating
and still some they claim to know
but they're running
round in circles
cause they have nowhere to go
but the answer
it is out there
it's just waiting for the day
when the changes
in our actions
give us better things to say
we need better things to say
we need better things to say
In "Fancy", Austin Gray is expressing his desire for someone who fits his fancy and is willing to steal away with him. He craves the relief that person can provide and is willing to let them push him further and make him turn another leaf. However, he also feels lost and doesn't know who to be, so he needs someone to believe in him. He believes in the future and in making changes to find better things to say. He talks about a "flight of fancy" where the person he desires is filled with passion and emotion, and he wants to see her on her knees begging him not to leave. He talks about leaving in the morning or evening and heading underground for the promised land, which is somewhere to be found, and when you believe it, it will believe you.
The song is about the desire for someone who fits your fancy and can bring relief, but also about feeling lost and needing someone to believe in you. It's ultimately about hope for a better future and the belief that making changes in our actions and finding better things to say can help us get there.

to make changes
To improve the situation
but nothing seems to change
The situation persists
it's the same thing
The situation is recurring
over and over
Repetitive and frequent
but it's all just rearranged
The same issues in a different order
no one sees it
Individuals don't comprehend the issues
we all see it
As a society, we're conscious of the issues
but it has too many names
It's referred to by several terms and titles
and this vessel
Referring to oneself
it is sinking
Failing or struggling to stay above
yeah it's going down in flames
Failing spectacularly
and we're all to blame
Pointing out the collective culpability
because our beliefs
Our thoughts and convictions
are misleading
Deceiving or mistaken
and defeating
Hindering or disappointing
and still some they claim to know
Others claim to have the answers
but they're running
Going in circles or being ineffective
round in circles
Not making any progress
cause they have nowhere to go
They're not making any positive changes
but the answer
The solution or explanation
it is out there
It exists somewhere
it's just waiting for the day
It's just waiting to be discovered
when the changes
Modifications in the current status quo
in our actions
Our actions and behaviors need to be altered
give us better things to say
Motivates people to express more positive sentiments
we need better things to say
We must improve our speech
