Fancy

The speaker invites someone to share a way of seeing the world, suggesting that belief or imagination could make them feel alike and connected. Yet the song also describes a private inner life that others cannot reach. Its mood is both warm and inviting, and guarded: the speaker offers closeness while insisting on being difficult to know.

The “ruby” is a precious, beautiful thing hidden from view, a possible image of the speaker’s love or inner self. Saying that no one can “penetrate” them means that other people cannot get past the surface and truly understand them; it does not necessarily suggest physical penetration. The repeated word “fancy” can mean imagination, personal opinion, or what someone chooses to believe. The line about people seeing what is in their own fancy suggests that they may interpret others through their own ideas rather than see them as they are.

The song leaves open whether the speaker’s invitation is hopeful or somewhat idealized. Sharing beliefs may promise a lasting bond, but the speaker also recognizes that other people’s perceptions are limited. The lyrics do not explain exactly what the hidden love is or what beliefs the speaker means, so the ruby and the invitation remain suggestive rather than specific.
