Disillusioned
Motherjane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I bring along a simple question
Can your perceptions be my reality?
Will Mine become an intrusion?
It's a different world out there,
Will I ever belong?
'Cos I keep losing my way,
Disillusioned...
We've started off wrong,
I see the darkness
When you're staring at the sun
I'm disillusioned
And I watch how it turns,
All this has happened before
We're just the reruns.
Time keeps tapping on my shoulder
Taking me nowhere much too fast
And gently mocking my delusions
Till I wonder how long today will last.
I'm beginning to doubt my vision,
But I've broken free from the past.
I'm floating on this karma keg,
Dreading the final... blast.
Disillusioned...
We've started off wrong,
I see the darkness
When you're staring at the sun
I'm disillusioned
And I watch how it turns,
All this has happened before
We're just the reruns.
I have a dream that consumes me
I bring along a simple question
Can your perceptions be my reality?
Will Mine become an intrusion?
Disillusioned...
The lyrics to Motherjane's song Disillusioned are a contemplation of the fragility of perception and the effect that it can have on our psyche. The singer has a dream that consumes them and brings along a simple question: can another person's perceptions become their reality, and will their own perceptions become invasive to others? This leads the singer to feel lost and unsure if they will ever belong. They experience a sense of disillusionment as they realize that they may be experiencing a rerun of something that has happened before.
The song seems to be dealing with the idea that our perceptions are subjective and fickle, and how they can influence the way we view the world. Time is also a factor here, as it is seen to be tapping on the singer's shoulder, impatiently urging them forward, mocking their sense of self-importance. They begin to doubt their vision, but the past is no longer holding them back. The final lines of the song pose the same question as the opening lines, illustrating the cyclical nature of the singer's thought process.
Overall, Disillusioned can be viewed as a meditative song about how our perceptions shape our reality and how easy it is to get lost in them. The song explores themes of self-doubt, disillusionment, and the search for a sense of belonging.
