Hallucinations
Angels & Airwaves (Inspired) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Across the lines and the roads,
It is there to decode
Where you thought was a ghost,
Are sparked to explode
It's the start of the show
It's the part you love most
When your heart will implode within
Do you believe in hallucinations?
Silly dreams or Imagination?
Don't go away 'cause I feel you this time
Don't go away 'cause I need you here this time
As a man floats home,
Carry us, back to shore,
And let the mountainous coast,
Where the sun starts to glow,
From our head to our toes,
To the stars, that we know,
And with you as my host,
It will keep us afloat, we can
Do you believe in hallucinations?
Silly dreams or Imagination?
Don't go away 'cause I feel you this time
Don't go away 'cause I need you here this time.
Do you believe in hallucinations,
Any dream or it's revelation?
Don't go away 'cause I need you here this time,
Don't go away cause I'll leave you here all night
The signs, are taxing,
I'm waiting, for something,
There's images of love and war
And everything's here to explore,
It's all unlike, the usual,
A different place but beautiful,
And it is not quite as it seems,
I hear the children's laughs and screams,
Ohhhh, It's beautiful!
Ohhhh, So beautiful!
Ohhhh, It's beautiful!
Ohhhhh!
Do you believe in hallucinations?
Silly dreams or Imagination?
Don't go away 'cause I feel you this time
Don't go away 'cause I need you here this time
Do you believe in hallucinations,
Any dream or it's revelation?
Don't go away 'cause I need you here this time,
Don't go away cause I'll leave you here all night
I'm making you, all mine,
I'm making you, all mine
The lyrics of the song "Hallucinations" by Angels & Airwaves are about exploring the unknown and searching for beauty in the unconventional. The first verse talks about looking closely, decoding what was once thought to be a ghost, and sparking explosions. It's a metaphor for discovering something unexpected and exciting. The next part of the verse talks about the heart imploding, which could be interpreted as the overwhelming feeling of excitement or wonder that can come from discovering something new.
The chorus asks the listener if they believe in hallucinations or if they simply chalk them up to silly dreams or imagination. The repetition of "Don't go away" in the chorus could be interpreted as the singer begging for the listener to stay engaged and open-minded. The second verse discusses being carried back to shore and experiencing the beauty of the stars with the listener as the host. The verse ends with the singer telling the listener that it will keep them afloat.
The bridge describes the new and exciting experiences as "unlike the usual" but "beautiful." The singer hears screams and children's laughter, which are common sounds associated with joy and excitement. The repetition of "Ohhhh, it's beautiful!" emphasizes the beauty found in these new experiences. The final verse states that the singer is making the listener "all mine," which could be interpreted as a passionate desire to share these new experiences with someone.

It's the best part of it all

As a man floats home,
As we journey through life
Carry us, back to shore,
Bring us back to safety
And let the mountainous coast,
The landscape around us
Where the sun starts to glow,
Where the day begins
From our head to our toes,
All of us
To the stars, that we know,
The vastness of the universe
And with you as my host,
With you as my guide
It will keep us afloat, we can
We will be okay
The signs, are taxing,
It's overwhelming
I'm waiting, for something,
Anticipating something big
There's images of love and war
All kinds of emotions and experiences
And everything's here to explore,
There's so much to discover
It's all unlike, the usual,
It's not what you normally expect
A different place but beautiful,
An unconventional but wonderful place
And it is not quite as it seems,
Things are not always what they appear to be
I hear the children's laughs and screams,
Sounds of pure joy and happiness
Ohhhh, It's beautiful!
It's absolutely stunning!
Ohhhh, So beautiful!
So incredibly beautiful!
Ohhhh, It's beautiful!
It's indescribably beautiful!
Ohhhhh!
Exclamation of awe
I'm making you, all mine,
I want you all to myself
I'm making you, all mine
I want to possess you

Hey Tom, I just wanted you to know your music has saved my life. As in, tonight it has. I was going to end it, then I listened to Everything’s Magic among other songs. As well as called into a drug and rehab facility where I will be taken tomorrow. I’ve loved you since I was a kid. We even met back in 2009, but please know you change lives and the future
