Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Playing with my mind again
Hate I want you to be mine again
Won't be your saint in this life of sin
Still in love with you but that's really The old you
Feeling outta body even when we be close to
Shit not adding up not like how it's Supposed to baby
But why do I crave it
Your love simulation
Knowing the best of me was wasting On you
But why do I crave it
Your love simulation
Knowing the best of me was wasting On you
Know it's an illusion
But I'm still drawn to it
Know it's an illusion
But I'm still drawn to it
Its three in the morning you blowing Me up
Confessing your love
I don't but I want it too
Won't be a round two
Used to be the one that would come Fuck it up
But you fucked it up
Messing with someone new
Never thought it be you
Still in love with you but that's really The old you
Feeling outta body even when we be Close to
Shit not adding not like how it's Supposed to baby
But why do I crave it
Your love simulation
Knowing the best of me was wasting On you
But why do I crave it
Your love simulation
Knowing the best of me was wasting On you
Know it's an illusion
But I'm still drawn to it
Know it's an illusion
But I'm still drawn to it
In the song "Illusion" by Eimizah, the lyrics depict a tumultuous relationship and the conflicting emotions the singer experiences. The opening lines, "You start to blur the lines again, playing with my mind again," suggest that the singer's partner is manipulating and confusing them. Despite the pain caused, the singer admits to still wanting their partner back, expressing their desire for them to be theirs again. However, they also assert that they won't compromise their integrity and become a "saint" in a life filled with sinful actions.
The repeated phrase "Still in love with you, but that's really the old you" reveals that the singer still loves their partner, but acknowledges that things have changed. They feel disconnected from their own body and sensations even when physically close to their partner, indicating a sense of detachment and dissatisfaction in the relationship. The lyrics suggest that things are not as they should be and that the singer's expectations are not being met.
The singer questions their own craving for their partner's love, referring to it as a "love simulation." They recognize that the best parts of themselves were wasted on this relationship, implying that their efforts were not appreciated or reciprocated. Despite this awareness, they still find themselves drawn to the illusion of love their partner presents.
The lyrics continue to describe a late-night encounter where their partner reaches out, confessing their love. Although the singer doesn't reciprocate those feelings, they confess their own desire for their partner. However, they assert that there won't be a second chance. The bridge of the song references the singer's past role as someone who could disrupt and shake things up in the relationship. They acknowledge that their partner has moved on to someone new, an unexpected turn of events that intensifies their conflicting emotions.
The chorus is repeated, emphasizing the theme of the relationship being an illusion. The singer acknowledges their awareness of this illusion, but despite that knowledge, they still find themselves irresistibly drawn to it. This repetition emphasizes the internal struggle between rationality and emotional attachment, highlighting the complexity of the singer's feelings.
Overall, "Illusion" portrays a relationship filled with deception and conflicting emotions. The lyrics explore the singer's love for their partner, while also acknowledging the unfulfilled expectations and longing for a different reality. It captures the push and pull, as well as the internal turmoil, often experienced in complicated relationships.
Line by Line Meaning
You start to blur the lines again
You are beginning to mix and confuse the boundaries once more
Playing with my mind again
Toying with my thoughts and emotions once again
Hate I want you to be mine again
Despite my dislike for it, I desire for you to be mine once more
Won't be your saint in this life of sin
I refuse to be the virtuous one in this sinful existence
Still in love with you but that's really the old you
I am still in love with you, but it's with the version of you that no longer exists
Feeling outta body even when we be close to
Experiencing a detachment from myself even when we are physically close
Shit not adding up not like how it's supposed to baby
Things are not making sense, not aligning with how they should ideally
But why do I crave it
But why do I yearn for it so strongly
Your love simulation
Your love feels artificial, like a fabricated imitation
Knowing the best of me was wasting on you
Being aware that the finest parts of me were being squandered on you
Know it's an illusion
I am aware that it is a mirage
But I'm still drawn to it
Yet, I am still compelled towards it
It's three in the morning you blowing me up
It is three o'clock in the morning and you are incessantly contacting me
Confessing your love
Admitting your affection for me
I don't but I want it too
I do not reciprocate those feelings, but part of me desires it as well
Won't be a round two
There will not be a second chance
Used to be the one that would come fuck it up
I used to be the individual who would disrupt everything
But you fucked it up
But you ruined it
Messing with someone new
Engaging with someone else romantically
Never thought it'd be you
I never expected it to be you
