Hallucinations
R3hab Lyrics

The lyrics to R3hab’s song Hallucinations seem to be portraying a sense of confusion, disillusionment, and possibly unease. The opening line, “I can’t fight this, got my eyes fixed on you,” suggests an almost obsessive fixation on someone or something. The singer admits they sense something new but describes it as a “hallucination." It’s unclear whether this something is good or bad, but the overall vibe of the song leans towards the latter.

The lines “In my mind, I realize you're not true/Must be something we do” are a bit more cryptic. They seem to suggest that the singer may have been deluding themselves about this “something new,” maybe even projecting a certain image or ideal onto it. But now they’re coming to the realization that it’s not real, or at least not in the way they thought it was. The repeated phrase “We’re just hallucinations” could be seen as a way of reaffirming this realization, or it could be interpreted as a kind of resignation or giving up.

The next verse doesn’t offer much more clarity, but it does introduce the idea of fear. The singer swears they saw “you” (presumably the object of their fixation) coming over and describes happiness as “just controlling fear.” This could be interpreted in a few different ways - maybe the happiness the singer felt was just a way to distract themselves from their fear or uncertainty, or maybe they’re suggesting that happiness itself is illusory, just like the hallucinations they’ve been experiencing.

Overall, the lyrics to Hallucinations seem to be exploring the idea of perception versus reality, the ways in which we can trick ourselves into believing something is true when it’s not, and the possibly unsettling feeling that comes with realizing the truth.
