Fairy Tale
Soviet Soviet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I know I was wrong, shut me up
Well, I can not dream
Of losing the best person I've ever, ever met
Please, please don't point at me that way
When I try to grab you, too fast to go
And while she was asleep
Show me what, show me what to say
Show me what, show me what to be
Yeah, I got you right now
What about you?
Fallen apart
Yeah, I got you right now
What about you?
Fallen apart
In Soviet Soviet's song Fairy Tale, the singer pleads with someone not to judge him or point fingers at him for his mistakes. He even acknowledges his wrongdoing but asks to be forgiven anyways. The line "Well, I can not dream / Of losing the best person I've ever, ever met" shows how much the singer values the person they are talking to and how afraid they are of losing them. The song also highlights the idea of a perfect, almost fantasy-like love, as seen in the line "The silence around produced the better fairy tale." The singer seems to believe that their relationship is so perfect that even silence between them is better than any other more dramatic, tumultuous love story.
However, the chorus shows a shift in tone. The singer begs to be shown "what to say" and "what to be," almost like they are lost without the person they are speaking to. The repeated lines "Yeah, I got you right now / What about you? / Fallen apart" add a sense of desperation to the song. The singer is holding onto this perfect love with all their might, but they fear that the other person may not feel the same way or may have already left them.
Overall, the song Fairy Tale by Soviet Soviet deals with the idea of a perfect love that is in danger of falling apart. It showcases the fear, insecurity, and desperation that comes with trying to hold onto something that seems too good to be true.

Please, please don't point at me that way
I don't want to be blamed for what happened
'Cause I know I was wrong, shut me up
I acknowledge my mistake and accept the consequences, no need to scold or lecture me
Well, I can not dream
I can't even imagine a worse outcome
Of losing the best person I've ever, ever met
I value this person more than anything or anyone else and losing them would be devastating
When I try to grab you, too fast to go
I'm desperate to hold onto you but you're slipping away from me too quickly
And while she was asleep
At a peaceful moment when there was no conflict or chaos
The silence around produced the better fairy tale
The calm, quiet environment created a better, more idealized story than reality
Show me what, show me what to say
Tell me what I need to do or say to make things right
Show me what, show me what to be
Guide me to be a better person who can prevent this from happening again
Yeah, I got you right now
I have your attention and support at the moment
What about you?
Do you also feel the same way I do?
Fallen apart
Things have gone awry and we're struggling to pick up the pieces
Yeah, I got you right now
I'm still holding on to you even though everything else seems to be falling apart
What about you?
Are you still with me and willing to work through this together?
Fallen apart
We're still dealing with the aftermath of the situation and trying to mend things

Soviet Soviet ⚡
Por favor, por favor no me señales de esa manera
Please, please don't point at me that way
Porque sé que estaba equivocado, cállate
'Cause I know I was wrong, shut me up
Bueno no puedo soñar
Well, I can not dream
De perder a la mejor persona que he conocido
Of losing the best person I've ever, ever met
Por favor, por favor no me señales de esa manera
Please, please don't point at me that way
Cuando trato de agarrarte, demasiado rápido para ir
When I try to grab you, too fast to go
Y mientras ella dormía
And while she was asleep
El silencio alrededor produjo el mejor cuento de hadas
The silence around produced the better fairy tale
Muéstrame qué, muéstrame qué decir
Show me what, show me what to say
Muéstrame qué, muéstrame qué ser
Show me what, show me what to be
Sí, te tengo ahora
Yeah, I got you right now
¿Que pasa contigo?
What about you?
Desmoronado
Fallen apart
Sí, te tengo ahora
Yeah, I got you right now
¿Que pasa contigo?
What about you?
Desmoronado

there are a million bands out there. and i am really enjoying Soviet Soviet this morning - i only learned of them maybe 20 minutes ago. from what i've heard, they are pretty much Joy Division reincarnated. not that that is a bad thing at all. i love that 'sound' , the echo effects, sonic guitar tones, and frenetic pacing.
but to answer your question, who knows why some bands get exposure, others dont. i was just thinking that if i were a movie maker, i definitely would put in songs like this, "Fairy Tale". allowing a band to get exposure. Look what it's done for Kate Bush - making millions on a 30-yr old song that was recently used in a streaming service TV show.
