So like an illusion, let's go
タネも仕掛けもない (ない)
手品は信じてない yeah
トナカイが飛ぶ winter sky
迷信は効かない
だけどね
横にいると奇跡も little bit (so little bit)
わかる気がする
Let's go 街まで
Hey, look 外はマイナスの世界
マフラー巻いて2人で
(Ah) 白がレフ板で
(Ah) 君を映して透明な肌触れられない程に
(Ah) 目と目が合って
(Ah) 全て解ける前に今 tell me
(Ah, ah, ah, ah)
君は illusion? 君がいると
ほら 喧騒もノイズをキャンセリングした
Illusion 居たいずっと
どんな氷点下の温度も肌色に変える

Jingle bells, jingle bells 恋が成る (kiss)
25の朝 来る時のプラスの期待

The lyrics of "Illusion" by 杉本琢弥 explore the themes of magic, hope, and love. The song opens with the line "So like an illusion, let's go," suggesting that the journey ahead may be filled with fantastical and unexpected experiences.
The next few lines, "タネも仕掛けもない (ない) 手品は信じてない yeah," express a sense of skepticism towards magic tricks and illusions. The singer doesn't believe in tricks and manipulations. This can be seen as a metaphor for not easily succumbing to deceit or false appearances in relationships or life in general.
The following lines, "トナカイが飛ぶ winter sky 迷信は効かない," depict a scene of reindeer flying in the winter sky. This symbolizes the singer challenging superstitions and not relying on supernatural forces or beliefs. It suggests a desire to live life freely and make their own destiny.
The chorus begins with the lines "君は illusion? 君がいると ほら 喧騒もノイズをキャンセリングした," which can be interpreted as the singer seeing their partner as an illusion or a beautiful mirage. When this person is present, the chaos and noise of the outside world fade away, suggesting that their presence brings a sense of calm and peace.
The lyrics continue to describe the transformative power of this illusionary love, using metaphors like "どんな氷点下の温度も肌色に変える" (even in freezing temperatures, it changes my skin color). This emphasizes how the love and connection experienced with this person can bring warmth and color to the singer's life.
Overall, "Illusion" portrays a sense of wonder, skepticism towards superficial appearances, and the transformative power of love. The song encourages the listener to embrace the magical aspects of life and cherish the genuine connections that bring joy and meaning.
