Sick of Fantasy
Yearning for Reality: Julia Riew's Quest Beyond Fantasies
Lyrics
Been beaten by the pretty princess again
Feeling defeated by someone attractive and charming.
She went and foiled all my plans
The person interfered with and ruined the speaker's plans.
I fooled the town, I got the crown, I got the beauty and the boy
The speaker achieved success but had it taken away.
Just to have them all ripped out of my hands
Expressing frustration at losing everything gained.
Now I'm back in my lair
Returning to a personal space, perhaps a hidden or private place.
Sending out a prayer
Seeking help or guidance through a prayer.
Is there somewhere I can go?
Questioning if there's a better place or situation.
Is it a fantasy I'm in?
Uncertain if the current situation is real or a fantasy.
Or is there somehow I win?
Wondering if there's a way to succeed despite challenges.
I'm sick of having to begin again and again
Expressing frustration at constantly starting over.
of falling
Emphasizing the repeated experience of falling.
Falling again
Reiterating the feeling of falling and failure.
I'm sick of fantasy
Expressing discontent and exhaustion with fantasy.
Had eternal youth and power
Had beauty and power until disrupted by a prince.
Till the prince pranced into my tower
Lost to other charming individuals, possibly referring to Sleeping Beauty.
Lost to two sleepy beauties with bed head
Defeat at the hands of two charming individuals.
Abandoned at the altar for a fishy little redhead
Left at the altar for someone unexpected.
Oh! Miss Magic Mirror
Addressing a magical entity for help.
Take me far from here
Requesting to be taken away from the current situation.
Take me some place that you know
Seeking escape from the current fantasy world.
Out of this fantasy I'm in
Expressing a desire to break free from a confined state.
I've got to break out of this prison
Expressing the need for a change and a world where they can succeed.
Show me a world where I can win again and again and again
Desiring a world where success is continuous.
again and again
Emphasizing the desire for repeated success.
Once I was a maiden
Reflecting on a time when the speaker was innocent and had everything.
I can still recall
Recalling a time of innocence and abundance.
Once upon a time I had it all
Reminiscing about a time when everything was in their favor.
'Cause everybody wants the princess till she's queen
Highlighting the fleeting nature of admiration for a princess.
I've been thinking I could use a change of scene
Contemplating a change in circumstances.
I'm sick of fantasy, I'm out
Expressing a rejection of fantasy and a desire to move on.
Henceforth this story is about
Declaring a shift in focus to a different narrative.
A leading lady who can win again
Focusing on a new protagonist who can achieve success.
I'll win again
Expressing determination to win again.
I'm sick of fantasy
Reiterating the exhaustion with fantasy.
Sick of fantasy
Repeating the sentiment of being tired of fantasy.
These sycophants can't see me
Not feeling seen or understood by admirers.
I'm sick of fantasy
Expressing weariness with fantasy once again.
I'm sick of fantasy
Reiterating the fatigue and dissatisfaction with fantasy.
