Fairytale
ZYR Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

She's all that I've been searching for

I know what you're thinking
Confess what I'm feeling...
But it's too soon I gotta give it some time...

What if I am too late?
What if she is taken?
By the time I go and give it a try

Won't let this love
Just slip away...
No more excuses, I just need you baby

No, I can't quit
I've got to try...
So I can tell our kids our fairytale

Once upon a time...
Once upon a time...
So I can tell our kids our fairytale

Once upon a time...
Once upon a time...
So I can tell our kids our fairytale

Kids learn to save the princess
This is something I would do
I'd climb the tallest tower
Slay a dragon just for you

One kiss for my sleeping beauty
To awake you from your dream
Ride away on a strong white horse
And turn us into king and queen

I know what you're thinking
Confess what I'm feeling...
But it's too soon I gotta give it some time

What if I am too late?
What if she is taken?
By the time I go and give it a try

Won't let this love
Just slip away...
No more excuses, I just need you baby

No, I can't quit
I've got to try...
So I can tell our kids our fairytale

Would you be my Cinderella?
Would you be my Belle?
Would you let me be Dimitri to your Ariel?

'Cause I'd be anything
Anything to be with you
No matter what's ahead
Together we're the perfect two

Won't let this love
Just slip away...
No more excuses, I just need you baby

No, I can't quit
I've got to try...
So I can tell our kids our fairytale

Once upon a time...
Once upon a time...
So I can tell our kids our fairytale

Once upon a time...

Once upon a time...
So I can tell our kids our fairytale

Overall Meaning

The song "Fairytale" by ZYR narrates a story about a man who is enamored with a beautiful woman whom he sees every day. The opening phrase introduces the setting, the characters, and the theme of the song, alluding to the classic fairy tale formula. The singer describes his beloved by highlighting her physical attributes and personality traits that he admires. He then admits to dreaming about her and wanting to confess his feelings but hesitates, believing that he needs to take his time. The chorus repeats the idea that he cannot allow this love to slip away and must pursue her.

The second verse takes the fairy tale theme a step further by drawing comparisons to fairy tale characters such as "princess," "sleeping beauty," "dragon," "white horse," "king," and "queen." He vividly imagines himself as the hero who would do anything to win her heart and make her his queen. The chorus repeats the previous sentiment, and the bridge poses a set of questions that reflect his desire to have her in his life. He notes that he would pretend to be anyone and everything to be with her, emphasizing how great his desire for her is.

Overall, the song portrays the hopefulness and excitement of a potential relationship but also reveals the fear of missed opportunities and regrets. The singer recognizes that time is of the essence and that he must act because he might otherwise lose his chance. The song's universality lies in the yearning for that special connection, fueled by romantic love that people in every culture and era seek.

Line by Line Meaning

Once upon a time there was a pretty girl
There was a beautiful girl who caught my eye

And everyday she caught my eye
I saw her every day and couldn't stop thinking about her

'Til this day I think about her
Even now, I still think about her

Dream about her every night
I have dreams about her every night

Cute smile with a sense of humour
She had a charming smile and a great sense of humor

A beauty that I adore
I loved her beauty

Nice hips with a set of lips
She had an attractive body and beautiful lips

She's all that I've been searching for
She is exactly what I've been looking for

I know what you're thinking
I know what you're thinking

Confess what I'm feeling...
I should tell you how I feel

But it's too soon I gotta give it some time...
But it's too early, I need to wait

What if I am too late?
What if I miss my chance?

What if she is taken?
What if she is already with someone else?

By the time I go and give it a try
By the time I try to make my move

Won't let this love
I won't let this love

Just slip away...
just slip away

No more excuses, I just need you baby
I won't make excuses anymore, I just need you

No, I can't quit
I can't give up

I've got to try...
I have to try

So I can tell our kids our fairytale
So I can tell our kids our love story

Kids learn to save the princess
Kids learn to rescue the princess

This is something I would do
This is something I would do for you

I'd climb the tallest tower
I would climb the tallest tower

Slay a dragon just for you
I would slay a dragon for you

One kiss for my sleeping beauty
I would give you a kiss to wake you up from your sleep

To awake you from your dream
To wake you up from your dream

Ride away on a strong white horse
We would ride away on a strong white horse

And turn us into king and queen
And become our own king and queen

Would you be my Cinderella?
Would you be my Cinderella?

Would you be my Belle?
Would you be my Belle?

Would you let me be Dimitri to your Ariel?
Would you let me be Dimitri to your Ariel?

'Cause I'd be anything
Because I would do anything

Anything to be with you
Anything just to be with you

No matter what's ahead
No matter what happens

Together we're the perfect two
Together, we are perfect for each other

Once upon a time...
Once upon a time...

So I can tell our kids our fairytale
So I can tell our kids our love story

Once upon a time...
Once upon a time...

So I can tell our kids our fairytale
So I can tell our kids our love story
