Mirage
Eowyn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you feel like you were trapped in your seclusion,
Locked away in your mind as you fell desperate in delusion.
Countless times, you ask yourself of this conclusion.:
"why does everybody look at me like i'm just some intrusion?"
There goes one more day of loneliness.
There goes one more day of such unrest.
It feels that every step is leading you to darkness,
Where you start to grasp for something then you feel like you were harnessed.
It's seems that everything is crashing down.
It seems this world is turning onside round.

Can this illusion that you think you see
Be a mirage indeed?
Be a mirage indeed?

Did you feel like you were let down and abused
And everytime you lift your head up, things just crumbled under you.
Walls are caving in, and what you see seems like the truth,
But then you look again and nothing's there. what is there left to do?
There goes one more day of loneliness.
There goes one more day of such unrest.
It feels that every step is leading you to darkness,
Where you start to grasp for something then you feel like you were harnessed.
It's seems that everything is crashing down.
It seems this world is turning outside round.

Can this illusion that you think you see
Be a mirage indeed?
Be a mirage indeed?

You're just trapped away.
No one's here.
All is so unclear.
Can you stop and stay?
Something's real, but then it disappears!!!
It's seems that everything is crashing down.
It seems this world is turning outside round.
Can this illusion that you think you see
Be a mirage indeed?
It's seems that everything is crashing down.
It seems this world is turning outside round.
Can this illusion that you think you see
Be a mirage indeed?
Be a mirage indeed?




Be a mirage indeed?
Be a mirage indeed?
