Illusions
Nayaree Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
An old world in black
Those things I still swallow
A bullet in my back
All I make
Is so fake
You give, I take
A dirty shadow
Do I have the strength to stab my
Beast in the back
Illusion
Of conviction
Nothing but resignation
Frustration, Confusion, No more passion
Maybe no drugs will help us
Maybe no one will save us
If we can’t stop to live in
An illusion
Where will I find my anger
Don’t crush my soul
Where will I find my freedom
Don’t break my bones
There’s no dust
Smell your lust
Respect and trust
Mama, I’ve tasted the night
Now turn on the light
An illusion
Remember, I’m not so blind
The lyrics to Nayaree's "Illusions" are a reflection on the inner turmoil of the human mind. The song seems to be about someone who is struggling with a dark past which they cannot escape. The "dark sun" in their window symbolizes the sense of darkness and despair that they feel constantly. The lyrics "An old world in black", implies that the singer feels like they are stuck in a world of the past, where things were black and white.
The lines "All I make, Is so fake, You give, I take", can be interpreted as someone who is trying to create an illusion of happiness in their life, but deep down they know that it is all fake. The mention of a "bullet in my back" suggests that someone has betrayed them in the past and they carry the weight of that betrayal with them. The singer seems to be fighting their inner demons, represented by the line "Do I have the strength to stab my Beast in the back".
The song speaks of disillusionment, resignation, and frustration, the feeling that life has no purpose. The lyrics "Maybe no drugs will help us, Maybe no one will save us", implies that when one is stuck in this vicious cycle of despair, no external help or support can be of any use, and the feeling of disillusionment can only be overcome through introspection and self-realization.
