Fantasy
Cassie Steele Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You want something I can't give
You wanna life that I can't live
You need anything but me, baby
You want commitment but I don't
I say I will but boy I won't
I don't have time to spend forever, baby
Oh, you make me sick
Why can't you accept it?

You've made an image who you think is me
It's so much harder than you know
Letting you go, oh oh oh

Look behind my face
Can you still see me?
Or am I gone, just a fantasy?
I look into your eyes
Grows insanity
Or are you searching for that fantasy?

You say it's me but it's just her
You don't accept me and it hurts
You avoid the real me, baby
I'm better off just by myself
Don't need nobody else
Stop playing mind games
Oh, you make me sick
Why can't you accept it?
You've made an image who you think is me
It's so much harder than you know
Letting you go, oh, oh, oh

Look behind my face
Can you still see me?
Or am I gone just a fantasy?
I look into your eyes
Grows insanity
Or are you searching for that fantasy?

I try to show you
Who I really am
But you're just a boy
I need a, a man
I need a man for me
No matter fantasy
Look behind can you still see?

I need a
I need a
I need a
Don't need no fantasy for me
I need a
I need a
I need a

Don't need your fanta...
Your fantasy

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Cassie Steele's song "Fantasy" speak of a situation where the singer is aware that the person she is with wants something she is not capable of giving. She is being pressured into making promises of commitment that she isn't ready to make just yet. To her, he has created an image of her that is not her true self, and he's not willing to accept who she truly is. She knows that she needs a man who understands and accepts her for who she is instead of one who's searching for a fantasy of her.

The chorus highlights the difference between her true self and the image her partner has created of her. She questions whether he can still see her real self or if she has become just a fantasy to him. Moreover, she's aware of how he's not accepting her despite her attempts to show him who she is. The lyrics are a representation of the conflict that exists when someone holds an image of you in their mind that doesn't match who you are, and the difficulty of letting someone go, despite knowing it's the right thing.

Line by Line Meaning

You want something I can't give
You desire something I am unable to provide

You wanna life that I can't live
You want a lifestyle that I am unable to maintain

You need anything but me, baby
You require everything except me

You want commitment but I don't
You desire commitment, but I am not willing to give it

I say I will but boy I won't
I may say yes, but I will eventually say no

I don't have time to spend forever, baby
I am not willing to spend an infinite amount of time on this

Oh, you make me sick
You disgust me

Why can't you accept it?
Why are you unable to acknowledge this truth?

You've made an image who you think is me
You have created a perception of who you believe I am

It's so much harder than you know
It's more difficult than you realize

Letting you go, oh oh oh
Releasing you from my life, oh oh oh

Look behind my face
Take a look beyond my facade

Can you still see me?
Can you still recognize my true self?

Or am I gone, just a fantasy?
Or have I disappeared, becoming a mere idea or illusion?

I look into your eyes
I gaze into your eyes

Grows insanity
It becomes maddening

Or are you searching for that fantasy?
Or are you seeking that fantasy?

You say it's me but it's just her
You claim that it's me, but it's actually someone else

You don't accept me and it hurts
You do not embrace who I am, and it is painful

You avoid the real me, baby
You evade my true self, baby

I'm better off just by myself
I am better off alone

Don't need nobody else
I do not require anyone else

Stop playing mind games
Cease manipulating my thoughts and emotions

I try to show you
I attempt to reveal to you

Who I really am
My true self

But you're just a boy
However, you are just a boy

I need a, a man
I need a mature, responsible man

I need a man for me
I require a man for myself

No matter fantasy
Despite your fantasy

I need a
I require a

Don't need no fantasy for me
I do not want a fantasy

Don't need your fanta...
I do not want your fantasy

Your fantasy
Your illusion or imagination
