Illusion
Bossa Trés... Jazz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It fills me up, makes me think of yesterday
Watching my life fall apart I don't know
I dont know what I have done
I walk the streets alone tonight
I'm still searching for the light
Still in war, but the enemy is my own heart
This might be my final fight
I don't know, I don't know what I've become
I walk the streets alone tonight
While I'm blinded by the light
I'm just searching for a way to make me feel, feel alright
Soldiers falling down, falling on both sides
All believing in, what they do is right
The frustration, and fear for the unknown
Creates a nation, with a heart as cold as stone
Empty words, I've followed (a 1000 lies explained the truth)
Now I know, that words can be the strongest weapon
We must face a better place
So don't be me, just don't be what I've become
We've walked the streets so many nights
Just to watch the stars collide
Now I'll fly away until the fear I feel, is out of sight
Soldiers falling down, falling on both sides
All believing in, what they do is right
The frustration, and fear for the unknown
Creates a nation, with a heart as cold as war
Look at the people dying, look at the bullets flying
Look at the burning cars, look at this world of scars
March towards the sun and face what I have done
Now you take this gun, and shot the illusion
Soldiers falling down, falling on both sides
All believing in, what they do is right
The frustration, and fear for the unknown
Creates a nation, with a heart as cold as stone
The lyrics of "Illusion" by Bossa Trés... Jazz depict a sense of sorrow and reflection on the past. The singer of the song is overwhelmed by their own emotions and is unsure of the actions they have taken that led to their life falling apart. They walk the streets alone, searching for some kind of light or hope in the midst of their inner turmoil.
The lyrics also suggest an internal battle, with the heart becoming the enemy. The singer feels trapped in a never-ending fight with their own emotions, questioning what they have become. Despite being blinded by the light, they continue their search for a way to feel alright, suggesting a longing for inner peace and resolution.
The song then takes a broader perspective, comparing personal struggles to the larger conflicts in the world. Soldiers falling on both sides symbolize the belief that each side in a war believes they are fighting for what is right, creating a nation with a heart as cold as stone. The frustration, fear, and the unknown contribute to this coldness, painting a bleak picture of a world filled with scars and destruction.
Ultimately, the lyrics call for change and a rejection of the illusion that perpetuates conflict. The idea of facing what one has done and taking responsibility is emphasized, as the singer encourages others to break free from the cycle of violence. By taking a stand and shooting the illusion, they aim to create a better place and a world that is not defined by war and coldness.
Overall, "Illusion" explores themes of personal reflection, inner battles, and the destructive nature of conflict, urging for change and a rejection of the illusions that perpetuate such suffering.
Line by Line Meaning
Everyday my sorrow
Each day, my deep sadness fills me
It fills me up, makes me think of yesterday
It overwhelms me, causing me to reflect on the past
Watching my life fall apart I don't know
Observing my life crumble, I am unsure
I dont know what I have done
I am unaware of my own actions
I walk the streets alone tonight
I wander the streets devoid of company this evening
I'm still searching for the light
I continue to seek enlightenment
Fighting for the twilight
Struggling to escape the darkness of my past
Still in war, but the enemy is my own heart
Locked in battle, my own heart is my adversary
This might be my final fight
Perhaps this is my ultimate struggle
I don't know, I don't know what I've become
I am uncertain of the person I have transformed into
While I'm blinded by the light
Even as I am blinded by brightness
I'm just searching for a way to make me feel, feel alright
I am desperately seeking a means to find contentment
Soldiers falling down, falling on both sides
Soldiers are collapsing, on opposing fronts
All believing in, what they do is right
Each firmly believes their actions are just
The frustration, and fear for the unknown
Feelings of frustration and fear of the uncertain
Creates a nation, with a heart as cold as stone
Forms a nation with an unfeeling, unrelenting demeanor
Empty words, I've followed
I have pursued hollow promises
Now I know, that words can be the strongest weapon
I have come to realize that words possess immense power
We must face a better place
We must confront and strive for a superior existence
So don't be me, just don't be what I've become
Avoid becoming like me, please, do not succumb to my fate
We've walked the streets so many nights
Together, we have traversed these streets countless times
Just to watch the stars collide
Merely to witness the collision of celestial bodies
Now I'll fly away until the fear I feel, is out of sight
Now, I will escape until the fear dissipates completely
Look at the people dying, look at the bullets flying
Observe the loss of life, witness the projectiles soaring
Look at the burning cars, look at this world of scars
Gaze upon the engulfed vehicles, survey this world marked by wounds
March towards the sun and face what I have done
March forward to the sun, confront my actions
Now you take this gun, and shot the illusion
Now, you take this gun and shatter the illusion
Creates a nation, with a heart as cold as stone
Forms a nation with a heart devoid of warmth, as unyielding as stone
