Illusion
Alan Ayres Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's all illusion
It's all illusion

There's no other way
This is how we do today
Everyone wants to be right
And tell me what to do in life
I ain't got regrets to feel, my pain is real
And I'm the only one who can deal, now get out of my face

It's all illusion
What you see is your mind projection
Your truth ain't my truth, don't tell me what to do
Don't know wrong or right
You can't run for my life
All illusion
And I know, it's not real the way I feel it's too much for me to deal

There's no other way
This is how we do today
Everyone wants to be right
And tell me what to do in life
I ain't got regrets to feel, my pain is real
And I'm the only one who can deal, now get out of my face

It's all illusion
What you see is your mind projection
Your truth ain't my truth, don't tell me what to do
Don't know wrong or right
You can't run for my life




All illusion
And I know, it's not real the way I feel it's too much for me to deal

Overall Meaning

The song "Illusion" by Alan Ayres is a commentary on the nature of reality and the subjective experience of truth. The repeated refrain of "it's all illusion" suggests that the world around us is not necessarily what it appears to be, and that our perceptions are shaped by our individual interpretations of the world. Ayres asserts that there is no single path to truth, and that each person must navigate their own way through life without being told what to do by others.


The verses of the song are focused on the idea that people are constantly trying to assert their own version of reality onto others, and that this is a fruitless exercise. Ayres refuses to be told what is right or wrong, insisting that his pain and experiences are his own, and that he is the only one who can deal with them. The line "your truth ain't my truth" emphasizes the individual nature of experience, and suggests that trying to impose one's own ideas about reality onto others is a futile endeavor.


Overall, "Illusion" is a song that encourages individualism and emphasizes the subjective nature of truth. Ayres urges listeners to trust their own experiences and instincts, rather than relying on the opinions of others.

It's all illusion
Everything around us is not what it really seems to be


What you see is your mind projection
What we perceive with our senses is not an accurate reflection of reality; it is shaped by our own thoughts and beliefs


Your truth ain't my truth, don't tell me what to do
Your perspective on life and what is right or wrong may differ from mine, so don't try to impose your views on me


Don't know wrong or right
There is no objective right or wrong in life; it is all a matter of personal interpretation and judgment


You can't run for my life
You cannot control or make decisions for me; I am responsible for my own life


All illusion
Everything we experience is a product of our own perceptions, thoughts, and beliefs, and is therefore not necessarily an accurate reflection of reality

Even though my feelings are real to me, they do not necessarily correspond to reality and can be overwhelming to cope with
