Illusions
Silent Nook Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Somedays we lose a little faith and
Some nights we living like gold
But you played it,
And I faked it
We've grown apart for way too long
This city's drowning faster than we thought
I think it's safe to say we followed on
With this illusion that I made
Somehow there's nothing to see,
I've been around town, baby,
Make you fall to your knees
Cuz I've got the notion that this emotion
Isn't something you need, alright
(Cut me down with the way you lie)
It won't be the same after tonight

You let it happen again,
Making my stomach turn straight inside-out for you
Every time I leave without you cuz of your
Recourse of brushing me off
Live a lie & lead to retox
You say that I'll be fine
When I cut you right out my life

With this illusion that I made
Somehow there's nothing to see,
I've been around town, baby,
Make you fall to your knees
Cuz I've got the notion that this emotion
Isn't something you need, alright
(Cut me down with the way you lie)
It won't be the same after tonight

(Oh-Oh-AH-Oh)

I'm sorry... I can't see through your eyes anymore, babe
When it's all my fault
Though my lungs they hold the evidence
I can't let it go...
When you hold on tight...
I feel your fire

I'm burning bridges, making stakes
In weaker hearts that tend to break
Don't wanna be the one to let you know

That this illusion, girl, I made
Somehow there's nothing to see,
I've been around town, baby,
Make you fall to your knees
Cuz I've got the notion that this emotion
Isn't something you need, alright
(Cut me down with the way you lie)
It won't be the same after tonight

Im burning bridges, making stakes
In weaker hearts that tend to break
Don't wanna be the one to let you know...
The one to let you know...





I'm sorry... I can't see through your eyes anymore, babe
When it's all my fault

Line by Line Meaning

Somedays we lose a little faith and
There are times when we doubt ourselves and our beliefs


Some nights we living like gold
Other times we feel like we're on top of the world


But you played it,
You had control of the situation


And I faked it
I pretended to be someone I'm not


We've grown apart for way too long
Our relationship has deteriorated over a long period of time


This city's drowning faster than we thought
The world around us is changing quickly


I think it's safe to say we followed on
We were swept up in the current of change


With this illusion that I made
I created a false reality for myself


Somehow there's nothing to see,
Even though it seems real, there's nothing tangible or truthful about it


I've been around town, baby,
I've experienced the world around me


Make you fall to your knees
It's powerful enough to knock you down


Cuz I've got the notion that this emotion
I believe that this feeling I have is not real or necessary


Isn't something you need, alright
It's not essential, it's just a construct


(Cut me down with the way you lie)
Your lies hurt me deeply


It won't be the same after tonight
Things will change after tonight


You let it happen again,
You allowed the same thing to happen again


Making my stomach turn straight inside-out for you
It makes me feel sick to my stomach


Every time I leave without you cuz of your
I have to leave you because of your actions


Recourse of brushing me off
Ignoring me or treating me as unimportant


Live a lie & lead to retox
You're living a false life and it will lead to a toxic outcome


You say that I'll be fine
You assure me that everything will be okay


When I cut you right out my life
When I remove you completely from my life


I'm sorry... I can't see through your eyes anymore, babe
I'm sorry, but I can't understand your perspective anymore


Though my lungs they hold the evidence
I have clear proof of your wrongdoing


I can't let it go...
I can't move past it


When you hold on tight...
When you cling to me closely


I feel your fire
I can sense your passion


I'm burning bridges, making stakes
I'm cutting ties and taking risks


In weaker hearts that tend to break
In those who are vulnerable and likely to be hurt


Don't wanna be the one to let you know...
I don't want to be the person to deliver bad news

Zaman geçtikçe içimdeki bu sıkıntının geçecek bir şey olmadığını düşüncesine daha çok yaklaşıyorum. Belki biraz saçma ama bir soba misali içerde yanan şey değişebilir ama ateş hiç sönmeyecekmiş gibi.
