Conditions Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll press my lips
To yours to explain
Sporadically
Use my tongue to reiterate
In the form of an
Oxygen dream
Some day, some day
I'll have to turn and walk away
To find my place
I'll search this whole world over
But everything I am
You've got it, you've got it
And I will return
I swear it, I swear it
Don't fear
Though I am gone
I'm still right here
Just like I've been
For twenty-one years
And it's all that
I know how to be
I promise, don't worry about me
Some day, some day
I'll have to turn and walk away
To find my place
I'll search this whole world over
But everything I am
You've got it, you've got it
And I will return
I swear it, I swear it
I'll return to you the day
Your hope is frayed
At all the ends
And I'll cauterize
Your hand in mine
And never let go
Some day, some day
(Some day)
I'll have to turn and walk away
To find my place
(Find my place)
I'll search this whole world over
But everything I am
(All I am)
You've got it, you've got it
And I will return
(I'll return)
I swear it, I swear it
The song "Illuminati" by Conditions is a deeply emotional and introspective ballad that delves into the complexities of love and separation. The opening lines of the song set the tone for the rest of the track, as the vocalist describes how he will use his lips and tongue to explain and reiterate his love for someone. He describes the person as an "oxygen dream" and confesses that he is "dying to breathe you deeply," which serves as a powerful metaphor for the intensity of his emotions.
The song then takes a bittersweet turn, as the vocalist acknowledges that he will one day have to leave and "turn and walk away" in order to find his place in the world. However, he reassures the person that everything he is, they have it, and he will return to them someday. The lyrics convey a sense of deep love and commitment but also acknowledge the inevitability of change and the fact that relationships can be challenging.
