Fascination

) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Decisions to be made.
The good advice of friends unheeded.
The best of plans mislaid.
Just looking for a new direction
In an old familiar way.
The forming of a new connection,
To study or to play.
Until the sun went down.
And many fantasies were learned
On that day.
Keep feeling fascination,
Passion burning,
Love so strong.
Keep feeling fascination,
Looking, learning,
Moving on.
Well the truth may need some
Re-arranging;
Stories to be told,
And, plain to see, the facts are changing.
No meaning left to hold,
And, so, the conversation turned
Until the sun went down.
And many fantasies were learned
On that day.
And, so, the conversation turned
Until the sun went down.
And many fantasies were learned
On that day.
The lyrics to The Human League's song "Fascination" speak to the process of making decisions and the importance of seeking out new directions and experiences. The opening lines suggest that sometimes it takes time to make decisions, and even good advice from friends can be ignored, leading to plans being mislaid. The singer is searching for a new path but in a way that feels familiar: forming new connections, studying and playing.
The chorus emphasizes the importance of maintaining a sense of fascination and passion, keeping love strong, and continuing to learn and grow. The repeated phrase "and so the conversation turned" suggests that the singer is in deep discussion with someone (it is unclear whether this is a friend, lover, or stranger), and that this conversation is leading them to new insights and fantasies.
In the second verse, the lyrics suggest that truth may need to be rearranged and that stories may need to be told. This could be interpreted as the singer recognizing that it is important to question assumptions and be open to new perspectives. The final lines repeat the earlier refrain that the conversation continued until the sun set and many fantasies were learned.

I'm 70. This song (unexpectedly) was running through my head. I started dancing in this little room I inhabit. So then I sat down, googled the title, which brought me to here and this video. And after listening (and for the first time ever seeing the video) I'm going to replay it. And haha, I don't know if my old ass will get up to Uncle Willie across the floor; I'll probably just rock in my chair.
@Unfamous_Buddha
And now I've listened to it three times.
