Illusion
Alan Ayres Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
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.
