30 Seconds To Mars: The Fantasy Meaning

The Fantasy Lyrics

With the lights out it's never 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)

   .... well.... I think it's about masturbation to be frank.
   
   he even sounds horny during the first part.
   
   He fantasies every night and forgets about everything when he slips into his fantasy.
   
   When he says I am a machine no longer living just a shell... It illuminates the fact that when he's fantasing he is no longer himself he is acting under his own fantasy.
   
   and when he says Say it say it... as if he wants everyone to convince him and believe it make him believe....

   I think the song is about a person with a dream. He lives,dies, and bleeds for his dream. In other words, he'll do anything to get his dream. When it says that he's no longer living and just a shell of what he dreamed, he means that he isn't even living for himself anymore. He's living to achieve his dream. He refers to the dream as it being like heaven.

   in this song he says "I am a machine No longer living, just a shell of what I dreamed"
   i think that means that... He got what he wanted, but its turned him into something he didn't want to be, like... He turned into something, a person he didn't want to be, even though he got what he always dreamed for.
