Illusion
Fizzy Blood Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm at a loss when I'm alone
This house is full of broken bones
See through the simple tricks
Success is just an illusion baby
Go ask my friends

It fades away and now I see
Illusion bearing down on me

So close your eyes and count to ten
Take me away alone again
Illusion smiling through your teeth
Illusion turn and face me

No separation no divide
No lucid night to pass the time
See through the simple tricks
Success is just an illusion baby
Or so I'm told

So close your eyes and count to ten
Take me away alone again




Illusion smiling through your teeth
Illusion turn and face me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Fizzy Blood's song "Illusion" touch upon themes of loneliness, disillusionment, and the deceptive nature of success. The opening lines, "I'm at a loss when I'm alone, This house is full of broken bones," express a sense of emptiness and fragility that the singer feels when they are by themselves. They may be referring to their personal space, which is filled with reminders of past disappointments and failures.


The next lines, "See through the simple tricks, Success is just an illusion baby, Go ask my friends," suggest that the singer has come to recognize that success may not be as genuine or fulfilling as it appears. They are aware of the deceptive nature of certain accomplishments and encourage others to seek confirmation of this from their friends. It implies a sense of skepticism and the idea that others may have already experienced and understood this disillusionment.


In the chorus, the lyrics further reinforce this idea of the illusion. "It fades away and now I see, Illusion bearing down on me" indicates that the singer has reached a point of clarity, where they realize that what they once perceived as success has dissipated and left them feeling burdened by the weight of these illusions.


Throughout the rest of the song, the repeated lines "So close your eyes and count to ten, Take me away alone again, Illusion smiling through your teeth, Illusion turn and face me" emphasize the need to escape from this illusion, to delve into a state of solitude once more, where they can confront and challenge the false veneer of success.


Overall, "Illusion" speaks to the feelings of disillusionment and the realization that success may not always be what it seems. It highlights the importance of introspection, questioning societal norms, and seeking genuine connections beyond the illusions that can pervade our lives.
