Offer’s success as a Producer, Remixer and a world known musician, is what brought Peter Rauhofer, a DJ/Remixer and Grammy award winner, owning the successful Dance label Star69 Records in New York City, to sign Offer in 2004. That same year, other than being the top leading DJ in Israel, Nissim became an icon among music lovers all over the country, when he was named DJ and Man of the year, 4th year in a row, by the music and nightlife magazines "DJ Ha’ir” and “Layla”.
The electrifying and striking presence on the turntables and the unique sound created in Nissim's studio works, have come to immediately bring his name to mind among clubbers in general, and gay clubbers in particular. Nissim's performance, which combines sweeping moves with an energetic atmosphere, creates a very unique link between himself and his audience. Nissim has established himself as a cultural hero, enjoying the success of Three double albums, and responsible for the musical production and success of Dana International, winner of the 1998 Eurovision song contest. These days he is Resident of the “Forever Tel- Aviv”partys in Tel Aviv, The Week/Sao Paulo, MIX/Paris and he spins in various festivals and gay events around the world, such as the Circuit Festival in Barcelona.
Illusion
Offer Nissim Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I cannot scape
The confusion
You wanna know what it takes to love you babe
It's only lies that I'm telling to myself
You never think, you never care about me babe
It's only me who's thinking of us every day
I tried to love you, I tried to give you all I have
But I would never get back all the love I gave
I tried to love you, I tried to give you all I have
But I would never never give the love I gave
It's an illusion
I cannot scape
The confusion
The song Illusion, by Offer Nissim, is a powerful ballad that speaks to the experience of trying to maintain a relationship that has devolved into an emotional illusion. The opening line "It's an illusion, I cannot escape the confusion" acts as a warning to the listener that what is to follow is a tale of the heartache and turmoil that often comes with loving someone who gives nothing in return.
The following lines again speak to the desperate attempts to try and love someone who doesn't want to be loved. The lyrics "You wanna know what it takes to love you babe, it's only lies that I'm telling to myself" suggest that the singer is aware that their feelings are unrequited, yet they continue to believe that if they only try harder or give more, things might change. However, the truth is that the person they love "never thinks" and "never cares" about them, and this unreciprocated love becomes more painful with each passing day.
The chorus "It's an illusion, I cannot escape the confusion" acts as a refrain, emphasizing the futility of the singer's situation. Despite their best efforts to love and be loved, they are trapped in an emotional fog that they cannot escape. The final lines of the song, "I tried to love you, I tried to give you all I have, but I would never give the love I gave" succinctly capture the essence of the song's theme. No matter how much the singer tries, they will never receive the same level of love that they have given, and this reality is both heartbreaking and overwhelming.

I'm just telling to myself there's no way to be
Just imagining the moment that you stay with me
And I know you can't be faithful you could never be
So I'm letting all my fantasied escape from me
I'm just telling to myself there's no way to be
Just imagining the moment that you stay with me
And i know you can't be faithful you could never be
So I'm letting all my fantasied escape from me.
