Delusion
Artrosis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the old stairway
In the streams of rain
Your love is imprisoned
It's got only one queen
Golden heart
You laid at its feet
Had cracked before you understood
It will destroy you
With each step
With each gesture
It will destroy you
With each word
Bewitched by its melody
You drink off sounds
Deluded by a failure
You tempt fortune
From joy to suffering - short way




You'll defeat it
Though you know the end

Overall Meaning

The song "Delusion" by Artrosis is a hauntingly beautiful piece that paints a picture of a powerless lover, captivated by the queen of love. The lyrics are reminiscent of a tale from an era long gone, describing a person's downfall at the hands of their beloved. The imagery of an old stairway and streams of rain evoke feelings of gloom and despair. The singer is at the mercy of their love, which has ensnared them like a wild animal. The golden heart they once laid at its feet is now cracked beyond repair.


The lines "With each step, with each gesture, it will destroy you. With each word, bewitched by its melody, you drink off sounds" underline the idea that the person's love is cruel and tyrannical. The individual is trapped in a cycle of delusion, unable to escape the clutches of their obsession. The last line, "You'll defeat it, though you know the end," implies that the singer is aware of their fate but is willing to face it head-on. The song leaves a lasting impression on the listener, and the emotions expressed are something everyone can resonate with.
