Mysterious in composition and with hushed vocals by Sim, “Fantasy” opens up with overlaid synths, the ends with a distorted bassline, Romy’s guitar hooks and fluttering samples. Reminiscent of unrequited love and rejection, Sim sings about the fantasy of the future and the person changing their mind...
[Verse: Oliver]
For the desired effect
Would you come back August or June, June?
And I hate that tomorrow's too soon
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
[Instrumental Outro]
