DVSN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm losing sleep every night
Keep tryna cover my eyes
My eyes, yeah
Is it my imagination?
I think I'm losing my mind, yeah
Still see your face all the time
All the time
Tryna rewind 'til we're back where we started
Yeah, that's all I want
And night after night after night
I'm still haunted
I'm haunted, baby
I'm haunted by you, you
Fall asleep and dream of you, you
Late at night I scream for you, you
Waiting on a dΓ©jΓ vu
But until then
I live with hallucinations
Yeah, they're just hallucinations
And I'll just hallucinate
'Cause you're not here
Hallucinations
Losing my concentration
Hearing your voice in my head
Seeing you when you aren't there
You aren't there
And I can't keep living like this, yeah
Something's gotta give (give me you, yeah)
If I could make it all go away
I would
Tryna rewind 'til we're back where we started
Yeah, that's all I want (that's all I want)
And night after night after night
I'm still haunted
I'm haunted, baby
I'm haunted by you, you
Fall asleep and dream of you, you
Late at night I scream for you, you
Waiting on a dΓ©jΓ vu
But until then
I live with hallucinations
(Fall asleep and dream of you, oh)
They're just hallucinations
(Late at night I scream for you, oh)
And I'll just hallucinate
(Waiting on a dΓ©jΓ vu, oh)
'Cause you're not here
Hallucinations
The lyrics of DVSN's "Hallucinations" explore the theme of a longing for a past relationship that has ended, and the struggle to move on from it. The singer is haunted by memories of their former partner, to the point where they are experiencing hallucinations of them. The opening lines of the song immediately establish the singer's sense of unease and unrest, as they admit to losing sleep and attempting to avoid the painful reminders of their lost love. They question the reality of their hallucinations, wondering if their memories are just their imagination, or a sign of their mental state deteriorating.
The chorus of the song examines the singer's desperation to regain what they have lost, replaying memories in their mind and hoping for a sense of familiarity to return. They are struggling to move forward when they feel so tied to their past. The verse that follows looks at the negative physical and emotional effects that this situation is having on the singer. They can't concentrate, they hear and see their ex-partner everywhere, and they are tired of living with this pain. The singer admits that something has to change, but they also understand that they cannot simply forget or ignore their feelings.
In conclusion, "Hallucinations" by DVSN is a poignant portrayal of how memories of a past relationship can continue to haunt us long after it has ended. The song's lyrics are raw and honest about the pain and confusion that comes with trying to move on. Through the use of vivid imagery and metaphor, the song creates a sense of emotional urgency, and empathy for anyone who has been in a similar situation.
Line by Line Meaning
Having hallucinations
Experiencing vivid and distorted perceptions of reality
I'm losing sleep every night
My inability to cope with the hallucinations is causing me insomnia
Keep tryna cover my eyes
Attempting to shut out the hallucinations from my vision
Is it my imagination?
I'm questioning the authenticity of what I'm seeing
I think I'm losing my mind, yeah
I fear that the hallucinations are causing me to go insane
Still see your face all the time
I can't escape the visuals of you in my hallucinations
Tryna rewind 'til we're back where we started
I wish I could go back to the time when we were together and everything was normal
And night after night after night
Every night passes like this
I'm still haunted
I can't shake off the memories of you, even in my hallucinations
Fall asleep and dream of you, you
You still exist in my subconscious, causing me to dream of you
Late at night I scream for you, you
The pain of missing you is so strong, it causes me to shout out at night
Waiting on a dΓ©jΓ vu
Hoping to experience the feeling of being with you again, like a dΓ©jΓ vu
But until then
Until that happens
I live with hallucinations
I am forced to coexist with these false perceptions of reality
Yeah, they're just hallucinations
They are not real, just illusions in my mind
And I'll just hallucinate
I have no choice but to deal with these hallucinations
'Cause you're not here Hallucinations
These hallucinations result from my longing for your presence
Losing my concentration Hearing your voice in my head
The hallucinations are affecting my ability to focus, and I hear your voice in my thoughts
Seeing you when you aren't there You aren't there
The hallucinations make me believe that you are present when you're not
And I can't keep living like this, yeah
The toll these hallucinations are taking on me is unbearable
Something's gotta give (give me you, yeah)
I need something to change, and that change would be having you back in my life
If I could make it all go away I would
I would do anything to make the hallucinations stop, even if it means erasing all my memories of you
