Mini Mansions Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm not a playa but I've a deck of trick cards
You say jump I say how low
I'm not a lover but I've a glitch for a heart
Take a step do not pass go
I'm not together but I've connectable parts
Here's another wish I'll blow
Finish that line I never could start
Finish that line I never could
Oh
My legs are tightening
Oh
Your voice is lightning
Oh, oh, oh
Oh
Add it up
You're in all my fantasies
I can send it with my body after the end of the show
Oh
Add it up
You're in all my fantasies
I can send it with my body
Take a step do not pass go
I'm not a killer, but I've a tank of pet sharks
Should I stay or should I go?
I wanna finish that line I never could start
Finish that line I never could start
Finish that line I never could...
Oh
I think I lost the light
Ohhhhh
Who brought the dynamite?
Oh, oh, oh
Oh
Add it up
You're in all my fantasies
I can send it with my body after the end of the show
Oh
Add it up
You're in all my fantasies
I can send it with my body after the end of the show
Oh
Add it up
You're in all my fantasies
I can send it with my body after the end of the show
Oh
Add it up
You're in all my fantasies
I can send it with my body
Fools on the run, like I told ya
The song "Fantasy" by Mini Mansions is a dreamy pop ballad with elements of indie and synth-pop. The lyrics convey the singer's desire to finish a line they were never able to start in a previous relationship. The first stanza describes the singer as not being a "playa" or a "lover" but having a "deck of trick cards" and a "glitch for a heart." These suggest that the singer may have been hurt in the past, and is now guarded when it comes to love. The second stanza includes the line "I'm not a killer, but I've a tank of pet sharks" which could be interpreted as another metaphorical defense mechanism. The chorus repeats the line "Add it up, you're in all my fantasies" and suggests that the singer's desire to finish this one line may be a fantasy that they can't shake.
The overall theme of the song is unrequited love, as the singer pines for someone who may not even realize they exist. The use of metaphors such as the "deck of trick cards" and the "tank of pet sharks" creates a sense of suspicion and guardedness in the singer. The chorus, however, has a sense of longing that suggests the singer is willing to take a risk if it means they can finally finish this elusive line.
Line by Line Meaning
Take a step do not pass go
I am ready to move forward, without hesitation or delay
I'm not a playa but I've a deck of trick cards
I may not have a lot of experience with love, but I have some tricks up my sleeve
You say jump I say how low
I am ready to do whatever it takes to please you
I'm not a lover but I've a glitch for a heart
I may not be great at love, but I have a heart that is capable of connection and emotion
Take a step do not pass go
I am still moving forward, open to new possibilities
I'm not together but I've connectable parts
I may not have it all together, but I am capable of forming meaningful connections with others
Here's another wish I'll blow
I have another hope that I am sending out into the universe
I wanna finish that line I never could start
I have unfinished business that I am ready to complete
Oh
Expressing surprise or realization
My legs are tightening
I am feeling nervous or anxious
Your voice is lightning
Your words have a powerful and electrifying effect on me
Add it up
You're in all my fantasies
I can send it with my body after the end of the show
You are the object of all my desires and I want to experience you fully, with every part of me
I'm not a killer, but I've a tank of pet sharks
I am not violent, but I am prepared to protect what I hold dear
Should I stay or should I go?
I am unsure of what to do next in this situation
I think I lost the light
I am losing my perspective or sense of direction
Who brought the dynamite?
Who or what is responsible for this explosive situation?
Fools on the run, like I told ya
People may be running from their problems, but I am facing them head on
