Phoebe Cates
Fenix TX Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't want to hang around anyone today
I'm sick of playing the same old games
'Cause I know I can't win them anyway
And I will dream a different lie

Stuck in between her thighs and wonder just when I will meet her
All I really need is someone like Phoebe
Someone to excite my fantasy
And every night I'll dream that she is here with me

And i will be the only one for her
And I'm wasting time going blind thinking she'll be mine tonight
Wasting time going blind thinking she'll be mine
I've been in love since the day I saw fast times

It's on a permanent rewind and can you guess my favorite part
I used to like tossing off to her pool scene
Now I'm kissing TV screens
She's the only star who's touched my heart on

All i really need is someone like Phoebe
Someone to excite my fantasy and every night I'll dream that she is here with me
And i will be the only one for her
And I'm looking for a fast time

Watching out for bright lights
Send me off to private school
When I'm with you it's paradise
Looking for a fast time

Watching out for bright lights
Send me off to private school
When I'm with you it's paradise
When I'm with you it's paradise

When I'm with you it's paradise
When I'm with you it's paradise
All I really need is someone like Phoebe
Someone to excite my fantasy and every night I'll dream that she is here with me

And I will be the only one for her
And I'm wasting time going blind thinking she'll be mine tonight
Wasting time going blind thinking she'll be mine
Wasting time going blind thinking she'll be mine tonight

Wasting time going blind thinking she'll be mine tonight




Wasting time going blind thinking she'll be mine tonight
Wasting time going blind thinking she'll be mine tonight

Overall Meaning

The Fenix TX song "Phoebe Cates" is a pop punk love song that pays homage to the '80s film icon Phoebe Cates. The lyrics express the singer's longing for someone like Phoebe -- someone who can excite their fantasy and transport them to a place of paradise. The song starts with the singer expressing their desire to be alone and away from others, feeling tired of playing games they know they can't win. They then reminisce on their infatuation with Phoebe, describing how they would love to meet someone like her who can be the only one they could ever want. The singer seems to be stuck in an endless loop of daydreaming about Phoebe each night and hoping that one day his dreams can become a reality.


The song uses Phoebe Cates as a metaphor for the perfect person to love, someone who is seemingly unattainable but is still the object of desire. The reference to the '80s film "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" and Cate's memorable pool scene adds to the theme of nostalgia and longing for something unattainable. Overall, the song presents a poignant portrayal of the power of unrequited love and the idea of chasing an unrealistic ideal.

I never understood why people said these were like 'fake blink 182', they had their own style and were pretty good.

Vinicius

NOBODY ever said they were fake blink...

​@Hearing Visions Life long blink fan, only discovered Fenix Tx awhile ago.. if they had a few more albums with as many bangers as Lechuza they would have GOAT status

TRHenry Vlogs

The fact that they had Fenix name in blinks video says something.

Metalifan1
