Illusion
ATEEZ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

푸른빛 태양
보라색 별
꽃이 춤춰
노래는 덤

어디선가
말을 거네
We party all day
We party all day

거짓말 같아
거짓말 같은 장관
눈 감았다 떴다
몇 번을 감았다 떴다

지금 난 마치 콜럼버스, 이 기분 맞지?
반말하는 개구리와 거북이
빨간색 개나리 해바라기
저건 뭐야?

Oh oh oh
꿈을 꾸는듯해
제발 don't wake me up oh oh

Oh oh oh
하루 이틀 사흘 나흘
오늘이 며칠인지 몰라

나는 지금 어디 너는 누구
처음 느껴 보는 이런 기분
지금 여긴 많이 paradise
모르겠고 일단 party all night long

푸른빛 태양
보라색 별 (let me free)
꽃이 춤춰
노래는 덤

또 어디선가
말을 거네 (let me free)
밤새도록 어서 party all night long (oh yeah yeah yeah)

Oh a 날 따라올래 너
Oh a 날 따라올래 you
Oh a 해 뜰 때까지 right
밤새도록 어서 party all night long (oh yeah yeah yeah)

천장엔 별이 보여 어서 올라타
그 위에 빛을 따라 돌고 돌아 난
아 뜨거워 난 후끈 달았네
보랏빛 paradigm 난 따라 들어왔네 (hoo)

죽었다 살았다 반복해 계속
누구도 억지로 맞춰있진 않지 (맞춰있진 않지)
푸른빛 태양 아래서
눈부셔 눈부셔 눈부셔 oh 부셔

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
꿈을 꾸는듯해
제발 don't wake me up oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
하루 이틀 사흘 나흘
오늘이 며칠인지 몰라

나는 지금 어디 너는 누구
처음 느껴 보는 이런 기분
지금 여긴 많이 paradise
모르겠고 일단 party all night long

푸른빛 태양
보라색 별 (let me free)
꽃이 춤춰
노래는 덤

또 어디선가
말을 거네 (let me free)
밤새도록 어서 party all night long (oh yeah yeah yeah)

Oh a 날 따라올래 너
Oh a 날 따라올래 you
Oh a 해 뜰 때까지 right
밤새도록 어서 party all night long (oh yeah yeah yeah)

분홍빛 모래알에
무지갯빛 바다 위에
그려볼까 더 환상적인 꿈
지금 여긴 뭐든지 아름다워 oh

바다 위를 걸어볼까
무지갯빛 바다 위에
우리 손을 잡고
미친 듯이 춤을 추자 night and day

푸른빛 태양
보라색 별 (let me free)
꽃이 춤춰
노래는 덤

또 어디선가
말을 거네 (let me free)
밤새도록 어서 party all night long (oh yeah yeah yeah)

Oh a 날 따라올래 너
Oh a 날 따라올래 you




Oh a 해 뜰 때까지 right
밤새도록 어서 party all night long (oh yeah yeah)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of ATEEZ's song "Illusion" evoke a dreamlike world where the sun is blue, stars are purple, and flowers dance to a melody that never ends. The opening verse sets the surreal scene, and the group members interchange with bits of words that suggest a magical place where the laws of reality don't apply. The chorus hooks the listener with the plea "don't wake me up," as if being in this imaginary realm is more enjoyable than the real one. The verses speak of partying all day and night, of not knowing what day it is, and feeling like Christopher Columbus discovering a newfound land. The bridge conjures up a bizarre image of a talking frog and turtle, and then shifts to a more urgent tone, repeating "let me free" and "party all night long."


The overall interpretation of the song intends to transport the listener to a mystical place, to escape reality, and let go of inhibitions. It can serve as a warning against being too consumed by the mundane or the chaotic, and instead seek balance, joy, and wonder in life. The lyrics do not follow a particular narrative, but rather create fragments of a dream that ebb and flow, much like the melody itself.
