Fascination
Human League Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If it seems a little time is needed.
Decisions to be made.
The good advice of friends unheeded.
The best of plans mislaid.
Just looking for a new direction
In an old familiar way.
The forming of a new connection,
To study or to play.
And so the conversation turned
Until the sun went down.
And many fantasies were learned
On that day.
Keep feeling fascination,
Passion burning,
Love so strong.
Keep feeling fascination,
Looking, learning,
Moving on.
Well the truth may need some
Re-arranging;
Stories to be told,
And, plain to see, the facts are changing.
No meaning left to hold,
And, so, the conversation turned
Until the sun went down.
And many fantasies were learned
On that day.
And, so, the conversation turned
Until the sun went down.




And many fantasies were learned
On that day.

Overall Meaning

However, sometimes, despite receiving good advice from friends or having well-laid plans, things may not always go as planned. The lyrics suggest that we need to keep searching for new directions, even if the path is similar to what we’ve known before.


The chorus of the song (β€œKeep feeling fascination, passion burning, love so strong. Keep feeling fascination, looking, learning, moving on”) encourages listeners to embrace the sense of wonder and curiosity that life has to offer, and to keep exploring and learning new things.

I'm 70. This song (unexpectedly) was running through my head. I started dancing in this little room I inhabit. So then I sat down, googled the title, which brought me to here and this video. And after listening (and for the first time ever seeing the video) I'm going to replay it. And haha, I don't know if my old ass will get up to Uncle Willie across the floor; I'll probably just rock in my chair.

@Unfamous_Buddha

And now I've listened to it three times.
