Illusions
Enschway Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't think twice anymore
Head first dive into calamity
Oh calamity
I don't run away anymore
I don't try to hide away from the enemy
I let it come to me

If I'm to be honest now

I'm too fucking careless
How do you give me confidence when the sky is crashing down?
Leave it to my conscience now
Illusions are breaking down
These visions are clear and loud
No matter how hard I try I just say yes

You can pin me down and take away my breath
Suffocate me now until there's nothing left
You can pin me down and take away my breath
No matter how hard I try I just say yes
You can pin me down and take away my breath
Suffocate me now until there's nothing left

You can pin me down and take away my breath
No matter how hard I try I just say yes
