Fantasy
Jon Eberson Group Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I been looking for a sign
Some indication for our love
A proof of our mutual attraction
I´ve been sending out my signals
And displaying all my charm
Waiting for the final reaction

But it was only a dream
Never ment to materialize
Only me reflecting of, the possibility of making you mine
It was just a fantasy
Never ment to materialize
Only me reflecting of, the possibility of making you mine

I'be studying the stars
I´ve used all my magic powers
I knew the spell i threw
Will hypnotize you
I've been using all my wiz
And every dirty trick
So show will in the end, i mesmerize you

But it was only a dream
Never ment to materialize
Only me reflecting of, the possibility of making you mine
It was just a fantasy
Never ment to materialize
Only me reflecting of, the possibility of making you mine





(repeat)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jon Eberson Group's song "Fantasy" express a yearning for love and the frustration of not receiving the desired response from the other person. The singer is searching for a sign of mutual attraction and has been sending out signals and using all their charm to try and capture the attention of their love interest. The singer even goes as far as studying the stars and using their magical powers, hoping to hypnotize and mesmerize the other person into falling for them.


However, the singer realizes that it was only a dream and never meant to materialize. The "fantasy" was just the singer's reflection on the possibility of making the object of their affections theirs. It is a bittersweet realization that not all dreams come true and some love stories are not meant to be. The repetition of the lyrics emphasizes this point and highlights the disappointment and unfulfillment felt by the singer.


The melancholic yet hopeful tone of the song is accompanied by a smooth jazz instrumental with a guitar solo that emphasizes the longing expressed in the lyrics. Overall, "Fantasy" is a poignant reflection on the complexities of love, the struggles of unrequited affection, and the enduring hope that maybe someday, that love will be reciprocated.

When I was working in a UK hi-fi shop in the early 80's this track was on a Technics dbx demo cassette we used to use.  This song has been in and out of my head since then.

I’ve had this on a NAD audio test vinyl, went to play it this week and it’s found a scratch. Gutted ! But now I’ve found it here 😄 poor cousin to vinyl, but it’s good to know I can listen to it again 😎
