The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Fantastic" by the artist "Will.I.Am"

In the song "Fantastic", Will.i.am sings about his feelings after breaking up with his girlfriend. He tries to convince himself and her that he is okay, although he is actually hurt and misses her.

The lyrics are full of contradictions. On the one hand, Will.i.am repeats that everything is "fantastic", "super", he is doing well. On the other hand, he describes his pain of losing his beloved: nine years of relationship, six years of family, the last two years of pain. He admits that their love was immature, a game, but he is still hurt that the girl who once considered him everything now cannot even say his name.

Will.i.am misses communication, intimacy, he wants to know how his ex-lover's life is going. He understands that it is hard for her to be just a friend after everything they've been through, and accepts her decision to leave, even if she had to replace love with hate.

The repeating phrase "don't you worry 'bout me" sounds more like an attempt to convince himself than a real statement. The multiple repetitions of the word "unreal" at the end of the song reinforce the feeling of unreality of what is happening, as if he himself cannot believe that their story is over.
