Fantasy - Mariah Carey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Talking sweet and looking fine
I get kinda hectic inside
Mmm, baby I'm so into you
Darling, if you only knew
All the things that flow through my mind
But it's just a sweet sweet fantasy baby
You come and you take me
It's so deep in my daydreams
But it's just a sweet, sweet fantasy baby
Images of rapture
Creep into me slowly
As you're going to my head
And my heart beats faster
When you take me over
Time and time and time again
But it's just a sweet sweet fantasy baby
When I close my eyes
You come and you take me
It's so deep in my daydreams
But it's just a sweet, sweet fantasy baby
Sweet sweet fantasy baby
When I close my eyes
You come and you take me
It's so deep in my daydreams
But it's just a sweet, sweet fantasy baby
I'm in heaven
With my boyfriend
My laughing boyfriend
There's no beginning
And there is no end
Feels like I'm dreaming
But I'm not sleeping
Sweet sweet fantasy baby
When I close my eyes
You come and you take me
It's so deep in my daydreams
But it's just a sweet, sweet fantasy baby
Sweet sweet fantasy baby
When I close my eyes
You come and you take me
It's so deep in my daydreams
But it's just a sweet, sweet fantasy baby
Sweet sweet fantasy baby
Sweet sweet fantasy baby
The lyrics to Mariah Carey's song "Fantasy" depict the intense and vivid daydreams of the singer as she obsesses over a person she desires. The song kicks off with Carey's infatuation evident through the lines "when you walk by every night, talking sweet and looking fine." The intensity of her feelings has her feeling "hectic inside," and she wishes the person knew about "all the things that flow through [her] mind." The song then transitions to how deep these daydreams are, with "images of rapture" creeping into her slowly, and her heart beating faster when the person she desires takes her over "time and time and time again."
Through the repeated chorus, Carey emphasizes these daydreams as nothing more than a "sweet, sweet fantasy," acknowledging the separation between her thoughts and the reality of the situation. The final verse takes a slightly different turn, where she imagines being in heaven with her boyfriend, without a beginning or end, making it feel like she's dreaming though she's not sleeping. Overall, "Fantasy" portrays the intense emotions of infatuation, daydreaming, and the separation between fantasy and reality.
