Delusion
Collecting Space Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Without you, this might be the end
You know my mind has gone astray
To find a way to make you stay
You left here, and now you're gone
And I'm not having too much fun
There must be a way
Losing sleep inside
Where can I hide?
Looking to the sky
Thoughts of what got me so high
Where are you going?
Don't leave me behind
Down the river flowing
We're running out of time
Losing sleep inside
Where can I hide?
Looking to the sky
Thoughts of what got me so high
The first verse of "Delusion" by Collecting Space "Alone here again, my friend, without you, this might be the end. You know my mind has gone astray, to find a way to make you stay" speaks of the singer feeling lost and lonely without the person addressed in the song. The line, "my mind has gone astray," suggests that the singer is having trouble coping with this lack of companionship to the point where their mental state is breaking down. The second line is a plea for this person to stay as the singer feels like they have nothing left without them. The sense of desperation is highlighted by the line, "to find a way to make you stay".
The chorus conveys a sense of sadness and anxiety, with the singer expressing their fear that time is running out and their chance to win the other person back slipping away. "Where can I hide? Looking to the sky. Thoughts of what got me so high" suggests that the singer is searching for a way out of their desperate situation, but is running out of ideas.
