1) Fate, Danish melodic hard rock band originally formed in 1984. They disbanded in 1993, but after a one-off reunion at a German music festival in 2004, Fate was reformed and they released a new album, V, in 2006.
The story of Copenhagen-based Danish melodic rock band Fate began in 1985, when former Mercyful Fate guitarist Hank Shermann (René Krolmark), Maxim Reality singer Jeff Lox Limbo (Jens Meinert), bass / keyboard player Pete Steiner (Peter Steincke) and drummer Bob Lance (Bjarne Holm) met and found FATE. With producer Simon Hanhart (Bryan Adams, Asia, 21 Guns, Yngwie Malmsteen, Marillion) the band recorded Cruisin' For A Bruisin'' in 1988, which features the ultra-catchy "Lovers" (released as a single plus videoclip in 1988) and a new version of "Love on the Rox" from the band's debut.

2) Hailing from Carmichael, California this five-piece band does not compromise the veracity of their music for anyone. Deeply influenced by all things extreme and thrashy, FATE has directed their intense admiration of metal into the focus needed to create music for a new generation of Metalheads! Speed, ferocity, and the ability to write viciously energetic songs will surely set FATE apart from other acts as they prepare to take the metal world by storm with their Metal Blade Records debut ‘Vultures’.

Formed in September of 2003, the members of Fate were still in middle school when they decided to start the band. Eager to be a part of the scene they had so much respect and adoration for; FATE began booking and playing shows in the greater Sacramento area including gigs at infamous underground venues. Come 2005 the band recruited Kyle Fishman on guitars, who was only 14 at the time, and started writing new material. This new material was so strong that it resulted in FATE being invited to play the Sacramento stop of the Van’s Warped Tour.

After playing the Sacramento stop of the Van’s Warped Tour FATE began booking out of town shows their own mini tours. During this time FATE had 2 shows a week for about a year, which is pretty good considering all of the band’s members were still in high school. FATE continued to develop a name for themselves and were getting offers for bigger and better shows including dates with bands like Bleeding Through, Unearth, Amon Amarth, Through the Eyes of the Dead, and Animosity.

Enter 2007, FATE has their first ever deal with metal label heavyweights Metal Blade Records and are picked up by the Artery Foundation Management (The Devil Wears Prada, Team Sleep, Whitechapel, The Warriors, and Dance Gavin Dance just to name a few). The band has also landed endorsements with Krank Amplification and Vitamin Water with more deals already in the works.

Downtown Toy
Fate Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There he comes, the rich man's son
In daddy's car with the radio on
He's got his eyes in the rearview mirror
He's got his eyes on you

I've noticed you are not yourself
It's like I'm talking to somebody else
Oh how I've been missing you

I don't know what to say or do

Don't walk away
Don't believe a word he says
He's an uptown boy
Baby, you're his downtown toy

Baby if I could only
Make you see that guy's a phony
My love is all that I can give
You thought it was all satin sheets

You winded up in his backseat
He left you standing
In the rain on the corner
But don't say I never warned you

Don't walk away
Don't believe a word he says

He's an uptown boy
Baby, you're his downtown toy

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Fate's song "Downtown Toy" tells the story of a girl who is taken in by a rich man's son but is warned by her lover of his true intentions. The boy drives around in his father's car with the radio on and sets his sights on the girl. Her lover takes notice of a change in her behavior and tries to warn her that she is being manipulated. Despite his efforts, the girl falls for the boy's false charm and ends up in his backseat. He leaves her stranded on a street corner in the rain.

The lyrics speak to the theme of financial class divide and how people with money can often lure in those who don't have as much with false promises and material possessions. The use of "uptown boy" and "downtown toy" in the lyrics illustrates this point, as the boy is portrayed as someone from a higher social class who sees the girl as nothing more than something to play with.

Line by Line Meaning

There he comes, the rich man's son
The wealthy son is approaching

In daddy's car with the radio on
He's driving his father's car while playing the radio

He's got his eyes in the rearview mirror
He's looking at the rearview mirror

He's got his eyes on you
He's looking at you

I've noticed you are not yourself
I've observed that you're behaving strangely

It's like I'm talking to somebody else
It seems like I am speaking with a different person

Oh how I've been missing you
I've been really longing for you

I don't know what to say or do
I don't know how to react or respond

Don't walk away
Please don't leave me

Don't believe a word he says
Do not trust him

He's an uptown boy
He's a wealthy, high society guy
