Illusion
ONEDUO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What it'd be like to be a part of something real
But you only left me with scars
You could've been the one to prove me wrong
We could've been crazy in love
The table was there for your cards
But you couldn't lay them out
Left me in the dark, how could you?
You know you were wrong, I should've
Left you when I had the chance back then
Wish I had known it was just pretend for you
I have to admit it though, the illusion was beautiful
I could've been the one to save you
From the game you've been playing
But I was a fool to think that you thought this was love
You should've told the truth and saved me
All the time that I wasted on you
Now there's no more time for us
And you should've laid them out
The cards that you kept for yourself
Left me in the dark, how could you?
You know you were wrong, I should've
Left you when I had the chance back then
Wish I had known it was just pretend for you
I have to admit it though, the illusion was beautiful
And you should've laid them out
The cards that you kept for yourself
Left me in the dark, how could you?
You know you were wrong, I should've
Left you when I had the chance back then
Wish I had known it was just pretend for you
I have to admit it though, the illusion was beautiful
Left you when I had the chance back then
Wish I had known it was just pretend for you
I have to admit it though, the illusion was beautiful
The lyrics of ONEDUO's Illusion tell a story about a person who lost someone they loved because that person was not honest and did not show their true cards. The singer expresses regret for not leaving earlier when they had the chance and for believing in an illusion of love that was never real. The lyrics imply that the relationship was built on lies and that the singer was left with emotional scars. The singer could have been the one to save the other person, but they were too late, and there is no more time for them as a couple. Despite the pain and heartache, the singer acknowledges that the illusion was beautiful.
The lyrics of Illusion convey a sense of disappointment and betrayal that is relatable to many people who have experienced a similar situation in their own lives. The song is about the complexities of human relationships, the importance of honesty and communication, and the consequences of pretending to be something that you are not. The song's message is about the courage to face the truth and move on from a situation that is not healthy or genuine, even though it may be painful.

You could've been the one to show me
I had hoped that you would be my guide
What it'd be like to be a part of something real
And help me feel like I was truly alive
But you only left me with scars
But instead you hurt me in inexplicable ways
You could've been the one to prove me wrong
I had thought that you would break my pessimistic stance
We could've been crazy in love
And we could have felt passion that we'd only dreamed of
The table was there for your cards
There was opportunity for you to make your move
But you couldn't lay them out
But you chose to keep your cards in your hand
You kept them all for yourself
And you were selfish and kept everything to yourself
Left me in the dark, how could you?
I was left with confusion and pain
You know you were wrong, I should've
You knew you were guilty, and I should have left you
Left you when I had the chance back then
I regret not ending it when I could
Wish I had known it was just pretend for you
I wish I was aware that it was only a game for you
I have to admit it though, the illusion was beautiful
But despite everything, it was a beautiful fantasy
I could've been the one to save you
I thought maybe I could be your salvation
From the game you've been playing
And get you out of the harmful game you're stuck in
But I was a fool to think that you thought this was love
However, I was naive to believe that you considered this love
You should've told the truth and saved me
You should have been truthful and saved me from the pain
All the time that I wasted on you
I spent countless hours on you
Now there's no more time for us
But now, there's no chance for us to make things right
And you should've laid them out
You should have shown me all of your cards
The cards that you kept for yourself
The cards that you kept hidden
Left me in the dark, how could you?
You left me in the shadows, and I couldn't believe it
You know you were wrong, I should've
You know that you weren't right, and I should have left you
Left you when I had the chance back then
I should have ended it when I had the opportunity
Wish I had known it was just pretend for you
I wish I was aware that it was only a game for you
I have to admit it though, the illusion was beautiful
But despite everything, it was a beautiful fantasy
Left you when I had the chance back then
I regret not ending it when I could
Wish I had known it was just pretend for you
I wish I was aware that it was only a game for you
I have to admit it though, the illusion was beautiful
But despite everything, it was a beautiful fantasy

Failure is just an illusion, it's only a failure if you learn nothing from it. So what are you afraid of?
