It may also be an incorrect artist tag for the soundtrack to an online game in the rhythm-action genre. If so, do Last.fm and yourself a favour and fix your tags. The easiest way is to use MusicBrainz Picard.

Audition Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What you think you can take back are the things that are going to haunt you.
This time won't be the last time
That I'm coming straight for your heart,
You know how I move.
And if I must say, I know that I'm worth...
You've never compromised without rolling your...
I know you've completely torn apart the fact that we could be.
I'm on the search, in 2/4 time.
See the girl that I've been chasing after.
Wishin' her eyes would just reach mine.
Please girl, you know exactly who I'm after.
I can't begin to explain this infatuation that I've grown with you
And all that has to do with every moment that I'm here and you're not.
More than you thought.
You've never compromised without rolling your...
I know you've completely torn apart the fact that we could be.
I'm on the search, in 2/4 time.
See the girl that I've been chasing after.
Wishin' her eyes would just reach mine.
Please girl, you know exactly who I'm after.
And I thought that I would make it,
But you escaped it.
And you swore that you would take this somewhere, somewhere.
Now I'm lost and you're just fakin' the way you played this.
The escape game never seemed so cruel when...
[Repeat: x2]
I'm on the search, in 2/4 time.
See the girl that I've been chasing after.
Wishin' her eyes would just reach mine.
Please girl, you know exactly who I'm after.
The lyrics of Audition's "Smoke and Mirrors" tell a story of unrequited love, infatuation, and heartbreak. The singer confesses to having feelings for someone, describing how they have been "sneaking glances and writing lines" about this person. The singer knows that the object of their affection may not feel the same way and warns them that they cannot take back what they have done, as it will haunt them.
The lyrics also reveal a sense of determination on the part of the singer, who declares that they will keep coming for the other person's heart. They believe that they are worth more than what the other person initially thought, that the other person has torn apart the fact that they could be together.
The song's chorus repeats the idea that the singer is on a mission to find the person they have been chasing after, hoping that their eyes will meet. The last lines of the song depict a sense of surrender, as the singer realizes that the other person has escaped and is just "faking" their feelings.
Overall, "Smoke and Mirrors" is a poignant portrayal of one-sided love and the struggle to move on when your feelings are not reciprocated.
