Now I'm Everyone
Biffy Clyro Lyrics

The opening line of "Happiness is an allusion" suggests that the concept of happiness is just an idea and may not exist in reality. The singer then goes on to ask for intimacy, wanting to be held close in order to feel someone's touch and for it to make them come alive again. They want to feel a passion that will overtake their body and make them forget about the fact that their physicality is slowly deteriorating.

The lyrics then mention "My castle is a great illusion," which can be interpreted in many ways. It could refer to a person's mind or their material possessions, making the castle a metaphorical representation of one's life, and how they perceive and present themselves to the world around them. Furthermore, the second verse speaks of "hairy eyes" being an obstruction, which is a metaphor for a person's lack of sight that prevents them from seeing things clearly. It emphasizes the lack of clarity in the singer's life and the need for assistance in finding a sense of purpose.

The chorus exclaims "Now I'm everyone," repeated multiple times, suggesting that the singer feels like they have become a part of something bigger than themselves. However, the phrase "it's less than I've ever been" could imply that they don't find it fulfilling, and perhaps this sense of belonging has led them to feel less valuable as an individual.
