Fascination Street Lyrics

I think it's about a woman he was infatuated with, not necessarily a relationship, maybe one of those complicated things when there's a person you've been obsessed with for a long, long time. A hot female friend maybe who's "friendzoned" you or whatever you want to call it. Hence why they were 'fascinated' by one another. But as soon as it happens you realise it was all in your head and there's no real connection there. But as soon as they hit "fascination street" as it were, the fascination, the passion, fades and it's not exciting anymore and there's nothing other than that superficial fascination they initially had with one another. As the passion fades it just becomes detached, meaningless sex. And with all of the memories, all of the fantasies and dreams, it's really extremely depressing.
