One of the most impressive facts about the band is their age. All being under 24 years old, and the youngest member being 19, the band can only grow stronger in time. Writing songs since the age of 15, William’s talents have improved significantly within the past few years. With lyrics that flow effortlessly alongside well-constructed guitar riffs, the band has become one of the most played unsigned rock bands on PureVolume.com, and is climbing the charts on MySpace.
Now here in Winnipeg is a developing new force in alternative music. With a growing fan base ranging from teens to their parents, A New Honour is a band very likely to achieve success. The band derives their sound from several genres including Hard Rock, Acoustic, and Pop/Rock. Because of their versatility, A New Honour has the potential to be played on many different radio stations. Look for their debut album in October 2007.
Illusion
A New Honour Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As you walked right through
Every finger pointing
Every eye on you
But you're still beautiful
Not invisible right now
And it's hard to say
You'll forgive yourself somehow
So carry on, with yourself, don't you dare be anyone else
With peace of mind that there's peace in time
It's just and illusion for now, oh forgive yourself somehow
It's just an illusion for now so when you hear your name in the crowd
Make light of what they say, be above look, the other way 'cause it's just an illusion for now
It's just an illusion for now
Everyone's so perfect
With their guilt-free eyes
But their bloodshot nervous
'Cause I can see inside
It's not so beautiful
Undercover as a saint
Watch 'em laugh it off
Then watch 'em fade away
So carry on, with yourself, don't you dare be anyone else
With peace of mind that there's peace in time
It's just and illusion for now, oh forgive yourself somehow
It's just an illusion for now so when you hear your name in the crowd
Make light of what they say, be above look, the other way 'cause it's just an illusion for now
It's just an illusion for now
Oh to be perfect somehow
Oh to be perfect right now
It's just and illusion for now, oh forgive yourself somehow
It's just an illusion for now so when you hear your name in the crowd
Make light of what they say, be above look, the other way 'cause it's just an illusion for now
It's just an illusion for now
The lyrics of A New Honour's song "Illusion" talk about social pressure and the expectations of perfection in the modern world. The first verse describes the feeling of being scrutinized and judged by others, as if everyone is waiting for you to make a mistake. It's a feeling that many people experience, especially when they're in a public space where they feel like everyone is watching them. The verse then goes on to say that despite the pressure, the person in the song is still beautiful and never invisible. The second verse talks about how people present a perfect image to the world but are often very different underneath. There's a contrast presented between the perfect exterior and the more flawed interior. The chorus of the song then acts as a self-affirmation, reminding the person that they don't need to try to be anybody else, that it's okay to forgive oneself and that the pressure they feel is just an illusion. They should not take it to heart when people do not appreciate them and should not worry about their reputation as it is just temporary.
The lyrics of "Illusion" are about the pressure of trying to fit in with other people's expectations and the desire to be perfect. They describe a world where conformity is prized and people are judged harshly for being different. The song encourages people to be true to themselves and not to be swayed by the opinions of others. It's an important message that everyone needs to hear at some point in their lives. The lyrics are also open to individual interpretation, and everyone can relate to them in their unique way.
Line by Line Meaning
The whole world went quiet
The surroundings became still and silent
As you walked right through
When you moved through the environment
Every finger pointing
All eyes were on you, and people were pointing at you
Every eye on you
All were gazing at you
But you're still beautiful
You are still amazing despite everything else
Not invisible right now
You are not invisible at present
And it's hard to say
It is difficult to express
You'll forgive yourself somehow
You will be able to find a way to forgive yourself
So carry on, with yourself, don't you dare be anyone else
Continue being yourself and don't try to be someone else
With peace of mind that there's peace in time
You have peace of mind that peace will come with time
It's just and illusion for now, oh forgive yourself somehow
It is only an illusion at the moment, forgive yourself in some way
So when you hear your name in the crowd
When you hear your name being mentioned in public
Make light of what they say
Don't take what they say seriously
Be above look, the other way
Ignore them and focus on other things
'cause it's just an illusion for now
It is only a temporary illusion
Everyone's so perfect
Everybody appears to be flawless
With their guilt-free eyes
With no sign of guilt or wrongdoing
But their bloodshot nervous
But they are nervous and anxious internally
'Cause I can see inside
Because I can sense their thoughts and emotions
It's not so beautiful
Their true nature is not as wonderful as they seem
Undercover as a saint
Disguising themselves as a righteous person
Watch 'em laugh it off
Observe them brushing it away with a laugh
Then watch 'em fade away
Then watch them disappear
Oh to be perfect somehow
Oh, how wonderful it would be to be faultless and blameless in some way
Oh to be perfect right now
How great it would be to be flawless at this moment
It's just and illusion for now, oh forgive yourself somehow
It is only an illusion for the time being; find a way to forgive yourself
So when you hear your name in the crowd
When you hear your name mentioned among the people
Make light of what they say
Don't take what they say too seriously
Be above look, the other way
Ignore it and look elsewhere
'cause it's just an illusion for now
It is only a temporary illusion
It's just an illusion for now
It is just a temporary illusion
