Illusion
Beat Connection Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I should probably take a step back and think it through
Try to calculate the best thing for me to do
But love is logic in my place like this you know I won't miss,
Another chance to set it out with you

Over and over your eyes
Tell me come closer, all night, all night,
Again and again, I see the looks that you said

All night
All night
All night
All night

All night

Strange the way I always seem to catch your eye
So I believe it's meant to be between you and I
I know it's hard to come together in a place like this
I want this, another chance to set it off with you

One step in your direction
And I can feel the tension
One step in your direction
And I'm already there
One step in your direction
And I can feel the tension
One step in your direction
And I'm already there
Over and over your eyes
Tell me come closer, all night, all night,
Againg and again, I see the looks that you said
All night
All night
All night
Over and over your eyes
Tell me come closer, all night, all night,

Againg and again, I see the looks that you said
All night, all night, all night

Line by Line Meaning

I should probably take a step back and think it through
I need to pause and reflect on my actions and decisions

Try to calculate the best thing for me to do
I should weigh my options and make a thoughtful decision

But love is logic in my place like this you know I won't miss
My heart overrides my logical thinking and I can't resist taking another chance with you

Another chance to set it out with you
I want to take another opportunity to pursue a relationship with you

Over and over your eyes
I keep gazing into your eyes repeatedly

Tell me come closer, all night, all night
Your eyes are beckoning me to move closer to you and stay with you all night long

Again and again, I see the looks that you said
I interpret the messages conveyed by the way you look at me repeatedly

Strange the way I always seem to catch your eye
It's peculiar how you keep looking at me and it feels like fate

So I believe it's meant to be between you and I
My intuition tells me that we are destined to be together

I know it's hard to come together in a place like this
It's difficult to form a connection in this kind of setting

I want this, another chance to set it off with you
I desire to have one more opportunity to start a relationship with you

One step in your direction
Moving closer to you

And I can feel the tension
I sense a spark of attraction between us

And I'm already there
I'm already lost in the moment with you

All night
Throughout the entire night
