Illusion
Dan Smooth & Elena T Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They say the illusions that we have of what might be left still breathe there.
Your heart is a mystery but does not know that a lonely spirit cannot find its freedom when the illusion that you have of what might be left still breathes there.
All that we love are moments of distant ideas.
All that we need is just an illusion to breathe.
And the illusion that I have of what might be left still breathes there.
And all the voices that we hear in silence
hidden images in shades of dark green.
They are illusions that we have of what is left for us to still love.
I invite the past to loom and there is nothing to embrace.
As you are an illusion too, and what is left for me is to breathe it out.
The lyrics of the song "Illusion" by Dan Smooth & Elena T explore themes of longing, uncertainty, and the power of illusions in relationships. The first verse describes the singer's heart as a drifter, suggesting a sense of restlessness or wanderlust. The words they express are compared to snowflakes that cover their feelings, possibly indicating a fear of vulnerability or an inability to fully communicate their emotions. As the year comes to an end, there is a sense that something is packing up or ending, perhaps alluding to a fading relationship.
The chorus speaks of illusions that still breathe within them and their partner. These illusions refer to the hopes and expectations they hold onto for what might be left in their relationship. Despite the uncertainty and mysteries surrounding their partner's heart, the singer realizes that clinging onto these illusions prevents them from finding true freedom and fulfillment.
The second verse suggests that love and fulfillment are often found in fleeting moments or distant ideas. The idea of needing just an illusion to breathe implies that even the illusion of love or happiness can be enough to sustain them. The singer expresses a determination to search for their partner, even amidst difficult circumstances like fallen leaves and the passing of time. However, it is acknowledged that these illusions still persist, highlighting a sense of uncertainty and the challenges they face in their pursuit of love.
The bridge of the song introduces the concept of voices heard in silence and hidden images in shades of dark green. These are described as illusions that they have of what is left for them to still love. It suggests that the singer may be haunted by memories or unspoken emotions, adding to the complexity of their relationship. Finally, the lyrics conclude with the singer acknowledging that the past and their partner are also illusions. The only option left for them is to let go and breathe it out, implying a need for acceptance and moving forward.
