Hallucinations
Angels Airwaves 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 song “Hallucinations” by Angels and Airwaves is all about exploring the magical and beautiful aspects of life that are hidden from plain sight. The song starts with the lyrics “And look real close, Across the lines and the roads, it is there to decode” which means that if one observes the world carefully, they will be able to see the beauty that lies beyond what is visible to the naked eye. The line “Where you thought was a ghost, Are sparked to explode” further emphasizes that the most unexpected and mysterious things in life are the ones that can bring the most joy and inspiration.
The chorus of the song repeats the line “Do you believe in hallucinations?” which can be interpreted in a few different ways. It could be interpreted as asking whether the listener believes in the magical, surreal experiences that the song is describing, or it could also be interpreted as a way of asking whether the listener has ever experienced anything like that before. The song goes on to describe a journey to a place that is both different and beautiful. The lyrics “There's images of love and war And everything's here to explore, It's all unlike, the usual, A different place but beautiful” indicate that this journey is unlike anything the singer has experienced before, yet he finds it beautiful and wants to explore it further.
The song ends with the lines “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”. These lines could be interpreted as an invitation for the listener to explore the magical, surreal experiences of life together with the singer of the song.
Line by Line Meaning
And look real close,
Pay close attention
Across the lines and the roads,
Wherever you go
It is there to decode
The message is there to be deciphered
Where you thought was a ghost,
Where you thought there was nothing there
Are sparked to explode
Bursts into something amazing or unexpected
It's the start of the show
The beginning of something exciting
It's the part you love most
The part that you enjoy the most
When your heart will implode within
When you'll feel a strong, overwhelming emotion
Do you believe in hallucinations?
Do you believe in seeing things that aren't there?
Silly dreams or Imagination?
Are these things not real?
Don't go away 'cause I feel you this time
Don't leave me
As a man floats home,
As someone returns home
Carry us, back to shore,
Take us back to familiar ground
And let the mountainous coast,
A rocky, rugged coastline
Where the sun starts to glow,
As day begins
From our head to our toes,
Throughout our entire body
To the stars, that we know,
To the familiar stars in the sky
And with you as my host,
With you leading the way
It will keep us afloat, we can
We'll stay above the water
The signs, are taxing,
The symbols are complicated
I'm waiting, for something,
I'm waiting for something exciting to happen
There's images of love and war
Strong emotions and conflicts
And everything's here to explore,
There's so much to discover
It's all unlike, the usual,
Different from what we normally experience
A different place but beautiful,
A unique and stunning location
And it is not quite as it seems,
Things are not as expected
I hear the children's laughs and screams,
Sounds of joy and excitement
Ohhhh, It's beautiful!
The experience is breathtaking
Do you believe in hallucinations?
Do you believe in seeing things that aren't there?
Silly dreams or Imagination?
Are these things not real?
Don't go away 'cause I need you here this time
Don't leave me
I'm making you, all mine,
I'm claiming you as my own
Ohhhh, So beautiful!
The experience is even more stunning

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
