The Highs and Lows of Love and Escapism

King Princess's song "Fantastic" delves into the complex emotions of love, longing, and escapism. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone caught in the throes of a tumultuous relationship, where feelings of pain and pleasure intermingle. The recurring theme of being "higher than God" suggests a state of euphoria, possibly induced by substances, which serves as a temporary escape from the emotional turmoil. This juxtaposition of feeling fantastic while simultaneously experiencing pain highlights the duality of human emotions and the often chaotic nature of love.

The song's protagonist expresses a desire to "disassociate" and be a "good passenger," indicating a wish to detach from reality and let go of control. This reflects a common coping mechanism for dealing with overwhelming emotions, where one seeks solace in distractions or altered states of consciousness. The mention of wanting to "get drunk and watch American classics" and "drink champagne out of plastic" further emphasizes this theme of escapism, as these activities symbolize a carefree, almost reckless approach to dealing with life's challenges.

King Princess's lyrics also touch on the idea of being "crazy" in love, a sentiment that resonates with many who have experienced the intense highs and lows of romantic relationships. The repeated question, "Don't you want someone crazy like me, baby?" suggests a yearning for acceptance and understanding from a partner, despite the chaos that may come with it. This raw and honest portrayal of love's complexities is a hallmark of King Princess's music, which often explores themes of identity, desire, and self-discovery.
