Sofi Tukker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just the silent treatment
While I've given myself the benefit of my own doubt
Four thoughts away from crying
Living is slowly dying
Despite all our efforts to shut it down
I've never seen someone like you
I want you to come closer
Maybe treat me better
Maybe a little meaner
Does it take work?
I hate when you can resist me
Don't step on my fantasy
Don't come to life
Don't come to life
Don't come alive
In the comfort of my daydream
You're everything that I need
Even when you're back in your local time
We expand into an ocean
A story unspoken
And my name is always in the byline
I've never seen someone like you
The one that I've made you into
I want you to come closer
Maybe treat me better
Maybe a little meaner
Does it take work?
I hate when you can resist me
Don't step on my fantasy
Don't come to life
Don't come to life
Don't come alive
I want you to come closer
Closer, closer
I want you to come closer
Closer, closer, closer
I want you to come closer
Maybe treat me better
Maybe a little meaner
Does it take work?
I hate when you can resist me
Don't step on my fantasy
Don't come to life
Don't come to life
Don't come alive
The song "Fantasy" by Sofi Tukker appears to be about a complex and somewhat conflicted relationship between two people. The singer seems to be struggling with their own feelings of inadequacy and insecurity, while also projecting their own desires and expectations onto the other person. The lines "I've given you no reason/just the silent treatment" suggest a breakdown in communication or a lack of effort on the singer's part to reach out and connect with the other person. They are "four thoughts away from crying," indicating that their emotions are running high and they are perhaps feeling overwhelmed or distressed.
Despite these challenges, the singer is deeply drawn to the other person and sees them as someone unlike anyone they've ever met before. There is a sense of idealization or romanticization of the other person, as the singer describes them as "everything that I need" and "the one that I've made you into." This could be interpreted as the singer projecting their own desires and expectations onto the other person, rather than seeing them as they truly are.
The song is also interesting in its use of repetition and subtle shifts in the lyrics. The chorus repeats the same lines about wanting the other person to come closer and treating them better or meaner, but the final line changes from "does it take work?" to "don't step on my fantasy." This could be interpreted as the singer realizing that their desires and expectations are not necessarily realistic or reasonable, and perhaps feeling defensive or protective of their own inner world.
Overall, "Fantasy" is a complex and layered song that explores the ups and downs of relationships, and the ways in which we project our own hopes and fears onto others.

I've given you no reason
Just the silent treatment
While I've given myself the benefit of my own doubt
For it's far too way from crying
Living and slowly dying
Despite all our efforts to shut it down
I never seen someone like you
The one that I made you into
I want you to come closer
Maybe a dream made better
Maybe a little meaner
Does it take work?
I hate when you can resist me
Don't step on my fantasy
Don't come to life
Don't come to life
Don't come alive
In the comfort of my daydream
You're everything that I need
Even when you're back in your local time
Week spent into an ocean
A story unspoken
And my name is always in the piling
I never seen someone like you
The one that I made you into
I want you to come closer
Maybe a dream made better
Maybe a little meaner
Does it take work?
I hate when you can resist me
Don't step on my fantasy

Let’s travel together
beyond ourselves
beyond our city
beyond our country
beyond our language
to a place that is kinder
more colorful
to a future
that is female
that is united
That is our Fantasy
