Fantasy
MS MR Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't know what you think you saw
You didn't know at all
Lost sight of who you are
Keen to make a connection
Forced myself into dimension
Lost sight of myself

If I could force my heart, my ears, my mind
And eyes to get in line
Maybe I'll find something real
Not a fantasy so divine
Let myself down each time
Let myself down each time

How could you be what I wanted to see?
How could you be what I wanted to see?
How could you be what I wanted to see?
When my reality
Could never live up, could never live up
To my fantasy

Revolution from dissolution, hypnotizing and demoralizing
Pressure of the future, too much for today
How many hours will I let slip away
Before I realize existing and living
Are not the same
Are not the same

How could you be what I wanted to see?
How could you be what I wanted to see?
How could you be what I wanted to see?
When my reality
Could never live up, could never live up
To the fantasy

How could you be what I wanted to see?
How could you be what I wanted to see?
How could you be what I wanted to see?
When my reality




Could never live up, could never live up
To the fantasy

Overall Meaning

In the first verse of MS MR's "Fantasy," the singer acknowledges that they are uncertain about what another person thought they saw. The singer then admits that they lost sight of who they are while attempting to connect with this person. The singer is consumed by a fantasy that they believe to be perfect and divine, but in reality, it is unattainable. The second verse reveals that the singer is struggling with living in the present and is preoccupied with the future. They are letting time slip by before they realize that existing and living are not the same. The chorus, repeated twice, asks how this other person could live up to the singer's fantasy when their reality could never match it.


Throughout the song, there is a sense of disillusionment and frustration with oneself for falling short of what is expected. The singer is yearning for something real and tangible, but their fantasy is all-consuming and difficult to let go of.

Don't know what you think you saw
You didn't know at all
Lost sight of who you are
Came to make a connection
Force myself in a dimension
Lost sight of myself

If I could force my heart, my ears, my mind
And eyes to get in line
Maybe I'll find something real
Not a fantasy so divine
Let myself down each time
Let myself down each time

How could you be what I wanna see?
How could you be what I wanna see?
How could you be what I wanna see?
When my reality
Could never live up, could never live up
To the fantasy

Revolution from dissolution, hypnotizing and demoralizing
Pressure of the future, too much for today
How many hours will I let slip away
Before I realize existing and living
Are not the same
Are not the same

How could you be what I wanna see?
How could you be what I wanna see?
How could you be what I wanna see?
When my reality
Could never live up, could never live up
To the fantasy

How could you be what I wanna see?
How could you be what I wanna see?
How could you be what I wanna see?
When my reality
Could never live up, could never live up
To the fantasy
