Crystal Illusions
Edú Lobo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You said you never even tried for
Like mirrors try to see
New reflections that will be
Crystal Illusions
I'll walk but don't walk behind me
I'll go where no one will find me
Could it be I'm just a dreamer
only looking for the sun
If I stay awake the morning
I believe the day will come
I'll go away
(I'll go away)
I'll find a way
(I'll find a way)
I'll try to know
(Know what I say)
I'll go
All the love that hides behind the eyes
That try to find a reason
If you only look within it's true
Love will begin
Waiting there to find you
I'll walk but don't walk behind me
I'll go where no one will find me
The shadows walking beside me will find me
All I want to know is wonder
Want my eyes to feel the rain
All the tears that spill for sorrow
Will begin and end again
I'll go away
(I'll go away)
I'll find a way
(I'll find a way)
I'll try to know
(Know what I say)
I'll go
I'll walk but don't walk behind me
I'll go where no one will find me
(I will be waiting for the sun)
The shadows walking beside me will find me
(I want my eyes to feel the rain)
I'll walk but don't walk behind me
(We'll begin and end again)
I'll go where no one will find me
(I will be waiting for the sun)
The shadows walking beside me will find me . . .
The song "Crystal Illusions" by Edu Lobo is a reflective and introspective piece that encourages listeners to confront their past, embrace their dreams, and seek out love and wonder. In the first verse, listeners are implored to "look back" and acknowledge the dreams that have gone unfulfilled. Like mirrors, we should try to find new reflections of ourselves and imagine the possibilities of what could be. The phrase "crystal illusions" suggests that sometimes our dreams may seem fragile or unattainable, but we should still hold onto them and strive towards them. In the second verse, the singer hints at a desire for solitude, to "go where no one will find me", but also acknowledges the importance of companionship in the form of shadows walking beside them. The chorus repeats the singer's determination to go away and find a way to know what they say. Towards the end of the song, the focus shifts to a search for wonder and a willingness to confront sorrow and tears, knowing that they too will eventually give way to happiness.
The lyrics of "Crystal Illusions" are both personal and universal; many listeners can relate to the drive to achieve their dreams and find happiness, while simultaneously fearing that those dreams may be out of reach. The use of mirrors and shadows as metaphors adds depth to the lyrics and reinforces the theme of self-reflection. The song begins and ends with the line "I'll walk but don't walk behind me", suggesting that the singer is not afraid to forge their own path even if it means being alone or taking risks.
