Illusion
Pop-3 Lyrics

The lyrics of Pop-3's song "Illusion" seems to explore the concept of disillusionment and the inability of achieving one's goals. From the start of the song, we are taken out of a dark place and into sunlight, only to realise that it is all a facade, a lie. This introduction represents a sort of awakening, a moment of clarity where the truth is revealed. We then delve deeper into the song, and we see the world around the singer as it collapses through a trick of the eye. Interestingly, the use of the word "illusion" here highlights the idea that what we perceive as reality is often just an illusion or a mirage.

The next line in the song, "Collecting the ashes, Filling the urn", seems to suggest that something has been destroyed or lost, and the singer is left to collect the remnants, reminiscent of a funeral service. The line "Time bound in chains, Deceiver, a trickster" further emphasises the idea that the singer feels trapped by the illusion or deceit that has brought them to the current situation. The song's theme is reinforced in the final lines, "Darken the sky, With the bloody rain, We almost had it, The myth, the summoned illusion, Collapse the world around me, A trick of the eye." Again, we see the reference to illusion and deception, suggesting that what appears to be so close or within reach is elusive and ultimately leads to a tragic end.
