World of Illusion
Artension Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Forever silent eternal crime
Why? did they die?
So many schemes
So many lies
So many dreams, buried alive
Tell only lies - world of illusion
I've seen his face - so much confusion
It's our disgrace - world of illusion
We felt the presence - long ago
They've walked through the shadows of our souls
Why? didn't we try?
So many plans
So little time
So many scams
Control our lives
The song "World of Illusion" by Artension portrays a sense of frustration and disappointment with the world and its many secrets. The lyrics paint a picture of a world that is hiding its true nature behind a veil of lies and deception. The line "Forever silent eternal crime" implies that these secrets have been kept for far too long, and their silence is almost criminal.
The second verse of the song talks about the many dreams and schemes that have been buried alive. This could be interpreted as a commentary on how society often stifles creativity and innovation in favor of maintaining the status quo. The line "We want the truth - world illusion" is a cry for transparency and honesty in a world that seems to value deception and manipulation.
The chorus repeats the phrase "world of illusion" several times, emphasizing the central theme of the song. The lyrics suggest that the world we live in is not what it seems, and that we are all trapped in a false reality.
Overall, "World of Illusion" is a powerful commentary on the state of the world today. It speaks to the idea that there is more going on behind the scenes than we are often aware of, and that we need to break through the illusions to find the truth.
