Illusions Inside
Kyros Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A simple force of mind, calls the shots
Innocence, naivety, confusion never ends
Here's another line to call home
Free life
Simple glory days, the ones we used to feel
And now I can't pretend, I'm done, I'm done, all gone

Hey

The feeling's inside me now
You're counting down, the number's stop
Don't you remember the times
And how your makeup runs ruin now
Sympathy failing me now
Your feelings here are empathised
Can't you remember the times
You're broken in mind

Huh

A simple force of absent mind, it calls the shots (it calls the shots)
Innocence now defined, benevolence

It's another one to call home
Free Life
Simple glory days
I wanna bring them back
And now I can't pretend
Let me know, let me know, let me know, let me know

The feeling's inside me now
You're counting down, the number's stop
Don't you remember the times
Oh how your makeup runs ruin now
Sympathy failing me now
Your feelings here are empathised
Can't you remember the times
You're broken in mind

But you're dead inside, dead inside, dead inside
But you're dead inside, you're dead inside, dead inside

The feeling's inside me now
You're counting down, the number's stop
Don't you remember the times
Oh how your makeup runs ruin now
Sympathy failing me now
Your feelings here are empathised
Can't you remember the times
You're broken in mind
You're broken in mind you're dead inside




You're broken in mind you're dead inside
You're broken in mind you're dead inside

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Kyros's song "Illusions Inside" convey a deep sense of emotional turmoil and introspection. The first verse delves into the complexities of the mind and how our thoughts and perceptions can influence our actions. The line "Innocence, naivety, confusion never ends" suggests a constant struggle to maintain purity and clarity amidst a world full of uncertainty and deceit. The mention of "free life" and "simple glory days" alludes to a longing for a time when life felt less complicated and burdensome.


The recurring refrain "The feeling's inside me now" seems to highlight a sense of intense emotion or realization that is overwhelming the singer. The reference to makeup running ruinously could symbolize a loss of control or facade crumbling away. The inability to forget past memories and the theme of brokenness in the mind indicate deep-seated pain or trauma that continues to haunt the singer.


The shift in the second verse to a "simple force of absent mind" hints at a detachment or numbness that has taken over, still guiding actions but devoid of the innocence that once defined them. The desire to bring back the "glory days" and the repeated plea to "let me know" suggest a longing for connection and understanding that feels out of reach. The repetition of being "dead inside" underscores a profound sense of emptiness or desolation that has consumed the singer.


Overall, "Illusions Inside" delves into themes of internal conflict, emotional breakdown, and a yearning for a return to a time of simplicity and genuine emotion. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a soul grappling with the weight of past experiences and struggling to find a way to break free from the numbness and pain that pervade their existence.
