The Fantasy Lyrics

With the lights out it's a little less dangerous
Even with a stranger, never gets painless
Don't be afraid (afraid, afraid)

Every time I think I'm gonna change it
(Think I'm gonna change it, think I'm gonna change it)
It's driving me (driving me) insane (insane)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Do you live, do you die, do you bleed
For the fantasy?
In your mind, through your eyes, do you see
It's the fantasy?

Maybe tonight we can forget about it all
It could be just like heaven
I am a machine
No longer living, just a shell of what I dreamed
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Do you live, do you die, do you bleed
For the fantasy?
In your mind, through your eyes, do you see
It's the fantasy?

Say it, say it, say that you believe
Say it, say it, to me

Do you live, do you die, do you bleed
For the fantasy?
Automatic, I imagine, I believe

(Whoever??)
Nothing you are
(Hold eyes and??)
Where you were then?

Say:
'I love you' - say it
See
Nothing you see

Do you live
Do you die
Do you bleed
For the fantasy?

Do you live, do you die, do you bleed
For the fantasy?
In your mind, through your eyes, do you see
It's the fantasy?
Automatic, I imagine, I believe
Automatic, I imagine, I believe

Say it, say it, say that you believe
(Automatic, I imagine, I believe)
Say it, say it, say it to me
(Automatic, I imagine, I believe)
Say it, say it, say that you believe
(Automatic, I imagine, I believe)
Say it, say it, say it to me
Automatic, I imagine, I believe
I believe, I believe, I believe

Atheists do not beleive in god. dictionary.com: atheist- One who disbelieves or denies the existence of a God, or supreme intelligent Being.

You may be thinking of agnostic: One who believes that it is impossible to know whether there is a God. One who is skeptical about the existence of God but does not profess true atheism.

But, please, make sure you know about something before you argue with someone about it. You're just making yourself look like a complete moron, because obviously you have no idea what you're talking about.

Ok, first of all, it's not "unfortunate" that there is a large atheist concentration here, and second of all we dont "all thing music is ever about is how there is no God." That's ridiculous. Personally, I agree with taninhawk that this song is about daydreaming and being able to retreat to a place in your own mind where your problems seem to slip away. However, as you say requiem, songs are whatever they mean to you, so kitsune, you are not a "f***ing moron"

This could be about a whole number of things...people tend to create fantasies about all sorts of stuff. Maybe this song isn't about any fantasy in particular. Probably my favorite 30 Seconds to Mars song...by the way, anyone notice "With the light out it's a little less dangerous" in the beginning of the song is the same line from Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit"? Maybe Jared Leto is a fan or something.

High five.

Its sad that religon has become a "Fad"...but moving on to the song...I see a combined meaning...like " the fantasy" can be diffrent for anyone. Such as god for some people...or the fantasy of being beautilfull in todays image. I think it can be manny diffrent things for anyone person...but what Jared had in mind....as in what is his Fantasy whos knows...only him...

beautiful many who*

Um...could you please explain to me the difference. Because, not accepting you if you don't beleive in God means you do not accept Atheism. And, please don't call me a fuckin moron. Grow up.

Cover art for The Fantasy lyrics by 30 Seconds to Mars

Hm. I guess I'm bad at this whole meaning thing, because it sounded like the fantasy was a dream (not like a night or day dream). Maybe like, a dream of something you want to be. A dream, like, a band?

"Do you live, do you die, do you bleed, for the fantasy?" To me this was like, what would you sacrifice for the fantasy.

But I'm usually wrong. :)

I agree with all of the ideas here, though. They make more sense than mine.

I agree with you don't worry your theory makes sense :)

Ive just listened to an mp3 audio conference from Eckhart Tolle telling about mind and craziness of this world coming from fantasy we create in our mind about a better future that sometimes led us collectively to make anything to reach this fantasy including killing people treated like enemies (but in fact very like us "human"). After the I finished listening to this conference in my bed, Winamp switched to the next song on top of the list (The fantasy), and lol, I never thought that 30 seconds to Mars was trying to make us understand about the same thing. Now I think I understand what this song is about. If you want explanation, search for Eckhart Tolle in library or where ever you want, try it on www.isohunt.com if you feel too lazy to pay for it. Whatever, nice song !! I'm rediscovering 30 seconds to Mars haha !

I think the song has to do with dreams. day dreams spicifically. How someone may lay in bed at night and carry themself off to a dream land were all their problems are gon, and how it can be so much better than your life that alll you can do through the day is impationtly wait for nightime to day dream again.

But i may be wrong
