Fable
Ryan Spendlove Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know where i belong,
my head ain't right, my day is night,
I think i'm gonna get it wrong.
This life just makes me wonder
If its right for me at all
I play the game to satisfy,
You could be with anybody I know,
but you will never be a
string to my bow until the
sun don't burn, the world don't turn,
and I'm not breathing anymore.
It seems, I dream as I go,
so wake me with your smile
and don't you ever let go.
My sight it is unbroken,
Heaven only knows why
I try to change I never can
and im not an ordinary man.
It seems, I dream as I go
so wake me with your smile,
don't you ever let go.
The song Fable by Ryan Spendlove is a poetic expression of the singer’s desire to find his place in the world. The opening line, “I am your walking fable,” establishes the theme of self-identity throughout the song. The singer feels lost and unsure of where he belongs. His head is “not right,” and he feels like he’s going to “get it wrong.”
The second verse suggests that the singer is questioning whether the life he’s living is the right one for him. He feels like he’s playing a game to satisfy others and living a story that may not be true to himself. Despite this internal conflict, he remains true to his own values and refuses to be just another person in someone else's world. The chorus emphasizes the singer’s connection to someone else who makes him feel like he’s not alone. The person he sings to could be with anyone, but they choose to be with him. He wants to hold onto this person, but acknowledges that nothing lasts forever.
Overall, the song Fable is a reflection on the ups and downs of life. The singer recognizes his own faults and uncertainties, but refuses to give up on his search for meaning. The presence of another person in his life gives him hope and makes the journey worthwhile.

I first heard this song when it was uploaded on here and I replayed it often. It’s been almost 10 years since and I would think of this song from time to time. Many years have passed, my life has changed so much, and today I decided to search for this song to hear it again. I feel extremely nostalgic hearing this beautiful song and voice again ❤️🎶

Jessie Cordero don’t! I’m exactly the same! “Light in the dark” Is my favourite! This is a close second

@cruelgoldenrule
I am amazed at how much I love this song. Someone introduced me to "you" several months ago. Since then, I have listened to this song a lot...like a lot. And I purchased the album so I could have it with me wherever I go. The clarity of voice, the simplicity of the ukelele make this song perfect. Thank you Ryan. You are truly talented.
