Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The xx's "Fantasy" are quite cryptic and evoke a sense of mystery and darkness. The song opens with the repetitive chanting of "kill" before the singer enters with the lines, "Fantasies the sky froze, diamond rain the sky froze." It seems as though the singer is describing a frozen, apocalyptic world where only their fantasies exist. The use of diamond rain further emphasizes the surreal and otherworldly nature of this place.


As the song progresses, the singer talks about being praised for their skills and their "sex appeal." The lines "cause I am popping gothic and it's real" suggest that they are fully embracing a dark and unconventional persona. The repeated refrain of "leave em dead, leave em all deceased" echoes this theme of violence and power. However, towards the end of the song, the tone changes slightly as the singer talks about laying back counting cash and forgetting about it all. They remark that sometimes it all just happens too fast, and perhaps they need to take a break from their intense and fantastical life.


Overall, "Fantasy" is a song that explores themes of power, violence, and escapism. The lyrics create a surreal and eerie world that the singer seems both fascinated and overwhelmed by.

For the desired effect
Would you come back August or June, June
And I hate that tomorrow's December
But this collision, came mid bloom

Better built to resume
I'll see you August, see you June
I'm building higher than I can see
I want fantasy

Don't rest with the less
I'm burning to impress
It's deep in the middle of me
I can be fantasy
