My Fantasy
Fisher Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In my fantasy I
Have a brown bag full of thousands and hundreds
And a stolen Jaguar
And I drive alone into the wind

Nothing is more beautiful
Than a girl on the road
Nothing is more beautiful than a freeway

In my fantasy I come
Upon an Irish hitchhiker
He says his tour bus left him stranded by the road
And it’s one love, one life for me
And Bono

Oh, nothing is more beautiful
Than a boy by the road
Nothing is more beautiful to me
Passing all the cities by
And all we can leave behind
Nothing is more beautiful than a freeway

And we would cross the country singing

Nothing is more beautiful
Than the night on the road
Nothing is more beautiful to see
Passing all the city lights




-leave the world so far behind us
Nothing is more beautiful than a freeway

Overall Meaning

The song "My Fantasy" by Fisher is a nostalgic and wistful tune that perfectly captures the idea of escaping from the mundanity of everyday life and chasing after our ultimate dreams. The opening line "In my fantasy I have a brown bag full of thousands and hundreds and a stolen Jaguar" speaks to the idea of having the financial freedom to do whatever we want, to be able to buy all the things we desire and to feel empowered enough to steal a car for adventure's sake. The desire for freedom is further emphasized in the line "And I drive alone into the wind"; it paints the picture of a person who is not held back by conforming to societal norms and is determined to carve their path in life.


The song's chorus "Nothing is more beautiful than a freeway" reveals the meaning behind the lyrics. Sometimes, the world can feel like it's closing in on us, and we want to break free from our limitations and allow our spirit to soar. A freeway represents the freedom to go wherever we please, to leave our troubles behind, and to feel the wind in our hair as we drive towards our dreams. The meeting with the Irish hitchhiker, and the references to Bono, conveys an idea of shared camaraderie on the open road, and how we can find a connection with strangers on our travels.


Overall, the song's lyrics symbolize the idea of living in the present and cherishing every moment. The images of driving alone, passing all the city lights, and leaving the world far behind us speak to our desire for adventure, escape, and freedom. It reminds us of the beauty of letting go and embracing life to the fullest.

Line by Line Meaning

In my fantasy I
In my ideal world, I


Have a brown bag full of thousands and hundreds
Own a bag stuffed with lots of money


And a stolen Jaguar
Also possess a car that is not legally mine


And I drive alone into the wind
Drive alone in the direction of the blowing air


Nothing is more beautiful
There is nothing more captivating and lovely than


Than a girl on the road
A female hitchhiker on the highway


Nothing is more beautiful than a freeway
The most gorgeous sight ever is a highway


In my fantasy I come
In my imagination, I encounter


Upon an Irish hitchhiker
An Irish traveler who needs a ride


He says his tour bus left him stranded by the road
He tells me his tourist bus abandoned him on the way


And it’s one love, one life for me
All that matters to me is to have a life of love


And Bono
One of the singers of the popular band U2, known for their songs about love and peace.


Oh, nothing is more beautiful
Oh, there is nothing more pretty and breathtaking than


Than a boy by the road
A male traveler on the highway


Passing all the cities by
Driving past all the urban areas


And all we can leave behind
Everything we can abandon


And we would cross the country singing
We would travel around the nation singing tunes


Than the night on the road
There is nothing more beautiful than a nighttime trip


Nothing is more beautiful to see
There is no more stunning sight


Passing all the city lights
Driving through all the city illuminations


-leave the world so far behind us
-Leaving everything behind us as we go further away


Nothing is more beautiful than a freeway
A highway is the most beautiful view to me
