Fairytale
Ka Lia Universe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't want to waste any more time
Quite the irony I know
But can no longer settle in my life
Can't settle my life
Used to believe in fairy tales
But now I changed my mind
If I'm a fallen angel
Used to want you and I
When we saw eye to eye
But I was colorblind
And now I can't deny
How I feel inside
I don't wanna hide
The me I thought that died
Fairy tales
Fairy tales tend to fail
Man down
Man down in the wishing well
So what if you tell me
To rewrite our story
No
We're not a fairy tale
I don't know how to feel
I need some time to chill
Cause every movie has an ending I'm not sure is real
In fact
Why should I take you back
Why'd I get so attached like that
Like that
Skrrt skrrt
You're my past
But every single princess missed this act
I'm feeling kinda bad
Cause every time we had
Was the best of my life
And I'd never take it back
But I need to
Live my life without you in it
Brake check
Pedal down
Time to live without a limit
Used to want you and I
When we saw eye to eye
But I was colorblind
And now I can't deny
How I feel inside
I don't wanna hide
The me I thought that died
Fairy tales
Fairy tales tend to fail
Man down
Man down in the wishing well
So what if you tell me
To rewrite our story
No
We're not a fairy tale
Used to want you and I
When we saw eye to eye
But I was colorblind
And now I can't deny
How I feel inside
I don't wanna hide
The me I thought that died
Fairy tales
Fairy tales tend to fail
Man down
Man down in the wishing well
So what if you tell me
To rewrite our story
No
We're not a fairy tale
We're not a fairy tale
We're not a fairy tale
We're not a fairy tale
We're not a fairy tale
The lyrics of "Fairytale" by Ka Lia Universe explore the theme of personal growth and self-realization, in the context of a failed romantic relationship. The song dwells on the singer's past belief in fairy tales and the subsequent disillusionment that comes with the realization that those fantasies don't always come true.
The opening lines, "Taking it slow, Don't want to waste any more time, Quite the irony I know, But can no longer settle in my life," suggest that the singer is reflecting on their past experiences and is no longer willing to invest time in something that doesn't fulfill them. They have reached a point where they can no longer settle for a mediocre or unfulfilled life.
The mention of being a "fallen angel" and wanting to "see the sky" signifies the desire for freedom and a new perspective. The singer acknowledges that they used to want a relationship, but they were unable to see the reality of the situation due to their "colorblindness." This can be interpreted as a metaphor for not seeing the truth or ignoring red flags.
The chorus emphasizes the importance of accepting the reality of their situation and moving on. The singer realizes that fairy tales often fail and they refuse to rewrite their story or continue living in a fantasy. They express a need for time to process their emotions and come to terms with the fact that not all endings are happy or what they initially envisioned.
The repeated phrase "We're not a fairy tale" underscores the acceptance of the relationship's imperfections and the singer's readiness to move on. They acknowledge that while their time together was significant and enjoyable, they need to live their life without the other person limiting them. The reference to a "brake check" and "pedal down" signifies the singer's determination to live without holding back and explore life without limits.
In summary, "Fairytale" by Ka Lia Universe delves into the introspective journey of a person realizing that fairy tales often fail to materialize in real life. It explores themes of growth, self-reflection, and embracing reality as the singer moves on from a relationship toward a life that isn't confined by unrealistic expectations.
Line by Line Meaning
Taking it slow
Proceeding cautiously and deliberately
Don't want to waste any more time
No longer willing to squander valuable time
Quite the irony I know
Recognizing the paradoxical situation
But can no longer settle in my life
Unwilling to accept mediocrity in my existence
Can't settle my life
Unable to find contentment and stability
Used to believe in fairy tales
Once embraced the idea of magical stories
But now I changed my mind
Shifted my perspective or opinion
If I'm a fallen angel
Considering oneself as flawed or imperfect
Let me see the sky
Allow me to experience freedom and possibility
Used to want you and I
Desired a connection between us
When we saw eye to eye
Shared a common understanding
But I was colorblind
Blind to the truth or unable to perceive reality
And now I can't deny
Unable to ignore or reject
How I feel inside
My true emotions and sentiments
I don't wanna hide
Unwilling to conceal or obscure
The me I thought that died
The version of myself that I believed was lost
Fairy tales
Stories of enchantment and dreams
Fairy tales tend to fail
Fantastical narratives often meet disappointment
Man down
An individual in distress or defeat
Man down in the wishing well
Suffering a setback or misfortune in hopes and dreams
So what if you tell me
Does it matter if you advise me
To rewrite our story
To change the narrative of our relationship
No
Declining or rejecting the suggestion
We're not a fairy tale
We do not embody the characteristics of a magical tale
I don't know how to feel
Uncertain about my emotions
I need some time to chill
Require a period of relaxation and reflection
Cause every movie has an ending I'm not sure is real
Questioning the authenticity of outcomes portrayed in films
In fact
Actually or truthfully
Why should I take you back
What reason do I have to reconcile with you
Why'd I get so attached like that
What led me to develop such strong emotional connection
Skrrt skrrt
Onomatopoeic sound effect, representing a sudden maneuver
You're my past
You belong to my history
But every single princess missed this act
All the fairy tale heroines overlooked this performance
I'm feeling kinda bad
Experiencing some level of guilt or regret
Cause every time we had
Because of every moment we shared
Was the best of my life
Represented the most delightful experiences
And I'd never take it back
Would not change or undo those moments
But I need to
However, it is necessary for me
Live my life without you in it
Continue my journey free from your presence
Brake check
Suddenly applying the brakes
Pedal down
Accelerating with full force
Time to live without a limit
Now is the moment to live unrestricted
We're not a fairy tale (Repetition)
We do not embody the characteristics of a magical tale

Love the production
@onishibata
Yep! This girl can go mainstream if she gets with the right connections.
@Maloha486
Not sure if it's the studio mic or intentional audio manipulation but there are parts where your voice doesn't sound consistent. Otherwise it's a great effort and I wouldn't have been surprised if I heard it on the radio.
@jonathanherr2906
