Illusion of Control
Kraków Loves Adana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It settled in our mind
So dark outside
But inside it is bright
A drop of light
But less defined
And my life seems drained
Right out of a frame
Hidden behind
A shattered pane
What once was whole
And kept us sane
I can't contain
Oh I never wanted to ruin our
Illusion of control
But since I have
Our love became a graveyard
Where the sun won't come up
Oh I never wanted to ruin our
Illusion
Illusion
But since I have
Our love became a graveyard
Where the sun won't come up
The lyrics of "Illusion of Control" by Kraków Loves Adana are a contemplation of the disintegration of a romantic relationship. The line "we touched the sky" suggests that the couple once felt invincible, but now the reality of the situation has become clear. This is followed by a juxtaposition of the external darkness and internal brightness, indicating a stark contrast between their public persona and their private struggles. The "drop of light" represents a glimmer of hope, but it is too faint to be reassuring.
Line by Line Meaning
We touched the sky
We felt like we were on top of the world
It settled in our mind
The feeling stayed with us and became a part of who we are
So dark outside
The world around us is full of darkness and negativity
But inside it is bright
Despite the darkness outside, we hold onto hope and positivity
A drop of light
We hold onto a glimmer of hope, even if it is small
But less defined
That hope is becoming harder to hold onto and see clearly
And my life seems drained
All the positivity and hope we held onto is slowly being drained from our lives
As though it came
It feels like it was taken away or slipped through our fingers
Right out of a frame
Like a picture that is ripped from a frame and lost forever
Hidden behind
It was always there, but we didn't see it or intentionally ignored it
A shattered pane
Something that was once whole and beautiful is now broken beyond repair
What once was whole
The love and happiness we shared in our relationship
And kept us sane
That love and happiness was what kept us mentally and emotionally stable
I can't contain
I can no longer hold onto that love and happiness, it's slipping away
Oh I never wanted to ruin our
I never intended for our relationship to become the way it is
Illusion of control
Our belief that we had control over our relationship and its outcome
But since I have
But my actions have had consequences and caused damage
Our love became a graveyard
Our relationship became lifeless and unfulfilling
Where the sun won't come up
There is no hope for a better future in our relationship
Illusion
Our belief that everything was okay and under control was just an illusion
Illusion
Our belief that our relationship was strong and could withstand anything was just an illusion
But since I have
But my actions have caused irreparable damage to our relationship
Our love became a graveyard
Our relationship became a lifeless, empty shell of what it used to be
Where the sun won't come up
There is no hope for a better future or happiness in our relationship
