Illusions of Perfection
Silent Cry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Failing down is your heart
Above the ruins of the thougths
Trying to go in the uncertainty
Your dogma suffers in the shades
Condemned in the illusions of the perfection
Your sickness true
Holding for pain
Forging a smile
Come as flower
Beyond the nightmares
With the awake of the sun
In ground of thorns
Returning to the Eden as delirium
Beyond the worry's walls
Returning to the dust of the essence
The crosses of the memory
Come as flower
To the gate of your way
failing down
In the shades of your past
Your sickness true
In tears, drowned
Holding for pain
forging the paradise
The lyrics to Silent Cry's song "Illusions of Perfection" speak to the idea of struggling with the pressure to be perfect and the toll that takes on a person's mental and emotional well-being. The first few lines describe the heart as "failing down" and being above the ruins of one's thoughts, which suggests a failure or breakdown in one's mental state. The lines "Trying to go in the uncertainty / Your dogma suffers in the shades" speak to the idea that the singer is feeling lost and uncertain, and that their previously held beliefs or values are no longer providing them comfort or guidance.
The next lines evoke a sense of condemnation or punishment, with the singer feeling trapped in the "illusions of perfection" and unable to break free from them. The lines "Your sickness true / In tears, drowned / Holding for pain / Forging a smile" suggest a deep sense of pain and struggle, with the singer trying to put on a brave face despite feeling overwhelmed and drowning in their tears. However, there is still hope and the suggestion that there is a way out of this pain, with the lines "Come as flower / Beyond the nightmares / With the awake of the sun / In ground of thorns / Returning to the Eden as delirium / Beyond the worry's walls" implying a sense of rebirth or renewal, and the idea that one can move beyond their struggles and find a sense of peace.
Ultimately, the song speaks to the human experience of striving for perfection and the toll that can take on a person's mental and emotional well-being, but also suggests that there is hope for healing and renewal.
