"There is a certain vibe somewhere between the California desert and the surface of the moon where sepia-toned nostalgia meets the warm, spacey sounds of modern psychedelia. Aunt Cynthia’s Cabin lies comfortably between these familiar facets of rock culture, carving out their own groove in a lately-stagnant scene by delivering an eerie, dark and fuzzed-out type of rock n’ roll with a psychedelic cherry on top." - It's Psychedelic Baby Magazine
Illusion
Aunt Cynthia's Cabin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That you're a fuse that's about to ignite
(Better open your eyes)
You go fly away and not return
Just know someday you'll have to learn
You may never reach the sky
I'm sick and tired, girl I'm stuck inside
My head, my worried mind
And I'm free from it all
No, it's another illusion
Drown, drowning from the weight of it all
But the surface doesn't seem so far, now
Try, go fly away and not return
Just know someday you'll have to learn
You'll never reach the stars
I'm sick and tired, girl I'm stuck inside
My head, my worried mind
I can't wait till I strike gold
And I'm free from it all
No, it's another illusion
Living in confusion
The song "Illusion" by Aunt Cynthia's Cabin is a heartfelt expression of frustration and disillusionment with life. The lyrics suggest that the singer feels trapped and weighed down by worries and anxieties that prevent them from living fully. The opening line, "This illusion makes you cry," sets the tone for the entire song, suggesting that the singer believes that their experience of life is somehow false or misleading. The reference to being "a fuse that's about to ignite" suggests that the singer is on the brink of a breakdown or explosion, and needs to find a way out of their current predicament.
As the song progresses, the singer expresses a desire to escape from their current situation, imagining a scenario in which they can "fly away and not return." However, the singer also acknowledges that this is ultimately unrealistic, and that the idea of "reaching the sky" is an illusion. The repeated refrain of "it's another illusion" underscores the theme of disillusionment and highlights the singer's frustration with the world around them.
Ultimately, "Illusion" is a song about the struggle to find meaning and purpose in life when everything seems to be falling apart. Through its powerful lyrics and haunting melodies, it captures the sense of isolation and despair that can come with feeling trapped in a world that doesn't make sense.
