Illusions
Chris.SU Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thinking of my life
What's going on outside
Going on outside
It's five to twelve
To change something
All over the world
All over the world
Don't want accepting
Just like an illusion
Just like an illusion
I can not take this
No perfect setting
Just like an illusion
Just like an illusion
We have to set a sign
Cause time is running fast
Come and go outside
Come and go outside
We‘ve no more time
The change begins
All over the world
All over the world
I cannot take this
Don't want accepting
Just like an illusion
Just like an illusion
I cannot take this
No perfect setting
Just like an illusion
Just an illusion
It's just confusion
Just an illusion
Just an illusion
It's just confusion
Just an illusion
I cannot take this
Don't want accepting
Just like an illusion
Just like an illusion
I cannot take this
No perfect setting
Just like an illusion
