Illusion
Mors Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's hard to see the coffin's closed again
No connection, between the scattered parts
of life and death. Do not regret, you knew
And so it goes, go round again
The vision still remains
If the flesh is weak the mind is all
Into illusion
Into illusion, we go
Into illusion
Into illusion, we fall
So plain and simple, desatured thought
As above, so below, i know
Immune to reason when consequense kills all
one thousand times the hand hits the wall
And so it goes, go round again
The vision still remains
If the flesh is weak the mind is all
Let us not understand
Into illusion
Into illusion, we go
Into illusion
Into illusion, we fall
The lyrics of Mors's song Illusion explore the concept of death and the inability to comprehend its inevitability. The first verse describes the cycle of life and death, with the metaphor of striking the nail too deep implying that we may be too invested in the physical realm and unable to see beyond it. The coffin being closed again refers to the finality of death and how it can seem like there is no connection between life and death. The line "do not regret, you knew" could be interpreted as a message to accept and come to terms with the fact that death is a part of life and cannot be avoided.
The chorus, "Into illusion, we go, into illusion, we fall," suggests that death may be an illusion, or at least something we cannot fully understand, and that we are constantly sinking deeper into this illusion. The following verse reinforces this idea, describing how our thinking becomes "desaturated" or simplified when faced with the enormity of death. The line "as above, so below" references the concept of correspondence, which suggests that patterns and relationships found in one realm of existence can be found in all others. This can be interpreted as a way of accepting death, as it is a natural part of the cycle of life.
Overall, the lyrics of Illusion are thought-provoking and offer a perspective on death that is both introspective and philosophical.
