Fable Lyrics

Been around the world
Countless different places
Running endless races to find you
A thousand miles, driving near or far
Been searching from the start to find you

It’s time to turn the table
Is this real or just a fable?
I’m searching for a soul
To give me the solace I’ve been looking for

Guide me to wherever you are
Don’t know where you are
Without your touch I’m falling apart
Don’t know where you are
Can we pull over and lay under the stars
In the back of my car
The perfect stranger from my nightmare

Product of my imagination
No need to cross the nation
I found you
Searching through
The haystack for the needle
Of seven billion people
I found you

It’s time to turn the table
Is this real or just a fable?
I’m searching for a soul to give me the solace
I’ve been looking for

Guide me to wherever you are
Don’t know where you are
Without your touch I’m falling apart
Don’t know where you are
Can we pull over and lay under the stars
In the back of my car
The perfect stranger from my nightmare
Don’t know where you are
Don’t know where you are

It’s time to turn the table
Is this real or just a fable?
I’m searching for a soul
To give me the solace I’ve been looking for
It’s time to turn the table
Is this real or just a fable?
I’m trying to find the vision
But I can’t help my disposition

Guide me to wherever you are
Don’t know where you are
Without your touch I’m falling apart
Don’t know where you are
Can we pull over and lay under the stars
In the back of my car
The perfect stranger to my nightmare

Guide me to wherever you are
Don’t know where you are
Without your touch I’m falling apart
Don’t know where you are
Can we pull over and lay under the stars
In the back of my car
The perfect stranger from my nightmare

Philip La Rosa’s Fable is a beautifully introspective journey through love, loss, and the stories we tell ourselves to hold on to what once was. The song carries an air of nostalgia, wrapped in delicate melodies and evocative storytelling that blurs the line between reality and fantasy. At its core, Fable explores the idea of love as a story—one that can feel larger than life in the moment but, upon reflection, may have been more fiction than fact. The emotions woven into the lyrics resonate deeply, drawing listeners into the painful yet poetic process of coming to terms with the past.

La Rosa’s vocals are both tender and haunting, filled with the weight of emotions that come with realising a relationship was never what it seemed. The lyrics paint vivid imagery of a romance built on hopes and dreams, slowly unraveling as the illusion fades. There’s a deep sense of longing in the way La Rosa delivers each line, as if grasping at fragments of a love that once felt eternal but has since slipped through his fingers. The contrast between hope and heartbreak is beautifully expressed, creating a song that is as melancholic as it is cathartic.

The song’s title, Fable, perfectly captures its essence—love, like a fable, can be a tale of wonder, magic, and destiny, but it can also be just that: a tale. La Rosa masterfully balances sorrow with acceptance, illustrating the process of coming to terms with the truth while still cherishing the beauty of the past. The emotional depth of the track resonates deeply with anyone who has ever looked back on a relationship and wondered if they were in love with the person or simply the story they created together. The track invites reflection, allowing listeners to connect with their own experiences of love that felt larger than life in the moment, only to later reveal a different reality.

The production, helmed by Taka Perry, elevates Fable into a cinematic soundscape that enhances its emotional impact. Perry, known for his ability to craft immersive and atmospheric productions, weaves together delicate piano chords, lush synth textures, and a subtle yet driving beat that mirrors the song’s rising intensity. The track builds gradually, starting with an intimate and almost fragile tone before swelling into an expansive, heart-wrenching crescendo. Every layer of the production is intentional, allowing La Rosa’s voice to take centre stage while surrounding it with ethereal instrumentation that amplifies the song’s emotional weight. The fusion of organic and electronic elements gives Fable a timeless feel, making it a song that lingers long after the final note fades. It’s a perfect marriage of production and storytelling, where every sound serves to deepen the impact of La Rosa’s heartfelt lyrics.

The music video for Fable is a stunning visual representation of the song’s themes, blending dreamlike imagery with raw emotion. Written and directed by Steve Browne, the video masterfully captures the contrast between idealised memories and the stark reality of love lost. With producers Elaine Smith and Michael Boyle, the video takes on a cinematic aesthetic, following a young boy through a series of intimate yet surreal moments that reflect the push and pull between fantasy and truth. The storytelling unfolds through striking cinematography, symbolic set pieces, and subtle yet powerful performances. Soft lighting and washed-out tones create a dreamlike effect, emphasising the blurred line between past and present. Each frame is carefully composed to evoke a sense of nostalgia, as if the memories of love are playing out like an old film reel. The final moments of the video leave a lasting impression, reinforcing the song’s message—that sometimes, the love we remember was never truly real, just a story we told ourselves to make sense of the past.
