Illusion
Chase Goehring Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The plain reality
When your heart is focused on another
Pray for the best but expect the worse
This is what my friends tell me
But when I'm with you, I don't care to listen
Could it be a big mistakes or
Could it be my lovers' fate
Loving you it feels alright but
In the back on my mind it don't feel right
Are you here to stay girl
I need to know, know, know, know
My brain is telling me to let go
My heart is telling me oh no
Here I am caught in the violence, the violence
Woah
Do I stay or do I go
Should I run away or I don't know
Here I am stuck in the middle, the middle
Woah
I was living in in in in an illusion
Blinded by love, blinded by love
I was living in in in in an illusion
Blinded by love, blinded by love
Baby you were my first kiss
Something I will always miss
When times are rough and the road is tough
Tell me how it goes in couple of years
Maybe by then I will be all ears
But for now, I enjoy the silence
My brain is telling me to let go
My heart is telling me oh no
Here I am caught in the violence, the violence
Woah
Do I stay or do I go
Should I run away or I don't know
Here I am stuck in the middle, the middle
Woah
I was living in in in in an illusion
Blinded by love, blinded by love
I was living in in in in an illusion
Blinded by love, blinded by love
I was living in in in in an illusion
Blinded by love, blinded by love
I was living in in in in an illusion
Blinded by love, blinded by you
The song "Illusion" by Chase Goehring is a relatable, emotional song that reflects on the struggles and complexities of love. Goehring questions his relationship with his lover and whether or not it is truly right for him. He mentions that his friends warn him about the possible consequences of being with his lover, but he admits that he disregards their warnings when he is with her. This hesitation is evident when he says that loving her feels good, but deep down, he knows that something doesn't feel right.
The chorus of the song emphasizes his conflict by stating that he is "stuck in the middle" and caught in the "violence" of his emotions. He is unsure whether to stay or leave the relationship, and he is torn between his logical mind and his heart. The repetitive use of "living in an illusion, blinded by love" reflects how love can be deceiving and make us blind to the reality of a relationship.
Overall, "Illusion" is a raw and honest song about the complexities of love and the struggle of questioning whether or not a relationship is right for you.

You know how that story goes
When the one you love most
Doesn't feel close anymore
And all that you can do
Is paint yourself new
Say its gonna be okay
You know that isn't true
Hypocrisy puts the bad taste in the history
Taken away many memories that you given to me
In all that I have left
Me myself and i
said i wish you the best
but you know that is a lie!
My brain is telling me to let go
My heart is telling me oh no
Here I am caught in the violence. the violence
of the world
And do i stay or do i go
Should i run away, I don't know
Here i am stuck in the middle, the middle
of the world
I was living in, in, in, in, illusion
Blinded by love x4
