Dark Fantasy
Kanye West/Musicfire.in Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You might think you've peeped the scene
You haven't
The real one is far to mean
The wattered down, the one you know
Was made up centuries ago
They it sound all wack and corny
Yes its awful blasted boring
Twisted fiction, sick addiction
Well gather round children
Zip it listen!

Can we get much higher?
So high
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Can we get much higher?
So high
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Can we get much higher?
So high
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Can we get much higher?
So high
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I fantasized about this back in Chicago
Mercy, mercy me, that Murcielago
That's me, the first year that I blow
How you say broke in Spanish? Me no hablo
Me drown sorrow in that Diablo
Me found bravery in my bravado
D.J's need to listen to the model's
You ain't got no fuckin' Yeezy in your Serato?
(You ain't got no Yeezy, nigga?)
Stupid, but what the fuck do I know?
I'm just a Chi-town nigga with a Nas flow
And my bitch in that new Phoebe Philo
So much head, I woke up to Sleepy Hollow

Can we get much higher?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Look like a fat booty Celine Dion
Sex is on fire, I'm the King of Leon and Louis
Beyond the truest
Hey, teacher, teacher
Tell me how do you respawn the students?
And refresh the page and restart the memory?
Respark the soul and rebuild the energy?
We stopped the ignorance, we killed the enemies
Sorry for the night demons that still visit me
The plan was to drink until the pain over
But what's worse, the pain or the hangover?
Fresh air, rolling down the window
Too many Urkels on your team, that's why your wins low
Don't make me pull the toys out, huh
Don't make me pull the toys
And fire up the engines huh
And then they make noise

Can we get much higher? So high
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

At the mall there was a seance
Just kids, no parents
Then the sky filled with heroines
(I saw the devil) In a Chrysler LeBaron
And the hell, it wouldn't spare us
(And the fires did declare us)
(But after that, took pills, kissed an heiress)
(And moved her back in Paris)

Can we get much higher? So high
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh

Can we get much higher? So high
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Can we get much higher? So high
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Can we get much higher? So high
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh




Can we get much higher? So high
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Overall Meaning

In the opening lines of "Dark Fantasy," Kanye West challenges listeners who think they've seen it all, suggesting that their reality is not only limited but also far too tame. West implies that the 'real' world is much meaner than it seems, and that the 'corny' reality they know is a concoction of old twisted fiction. West urges his listeners to listen attentively and not to dismiss what they are about to hear as boring or wack. The song's opening lines emphasize a sense of anticipation and suggest that the listener is about to embark on an incredible experience that transcends their current understanding of reality.


Later in the song, Kanye shares his life story and establishes his dominance in the rap industry. He talks about the time he fantasized about his success in Chicago and about his pivotal year of success. He also boasts about his wealth, from the luxury sports car he owns to the fashionable clothes his partner wears. Kanye urges others to "listen to the models and asks if they have any of his tracks on their playlists. The track's chorus, "Con we get much higher," is repeated frequently throughout the song, emphasizing the idea of reaching an elevated state.
