Illusion
-123 min. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You tried the pink one
Back in the doorway
Just like wine or the sweet leaf
There's no hurry and no belief

No hope, no glory
Chasin' the quick fun
A short cut to reach it all now
Up on the moon, God told you: -hey, you are off the way
And I'm sorry, dope is not how

Take it down, it's illusion - won't be more
While the ultimate light will assure you - it's illusion

Now you feel corny
Watchin' what you've done
That high life won't give peace
Lickin' the wounds, don't start to pray, find another way
Don't you worry, love is for free

Take it down, it's illusion - won't be more
Still reality brings you ashore - it's illusion

Take it down, it's illusion - won't be more
Still reality brings you ashore




It's illusion, won't be more
Love's all around - it's illusion, won't be more
