Sortout. Creating moments. Defining live music."
The band’s name stands for the ups and downs they have gone through and never to stop before you sorted everything out.
There was a time of farewells, retreats and new beginnings. Line-up changes became a part of the progress of the band. Most of this now belongs to history, but the memories made with great shows and bands such as Machine Head, Trivium, Bullet for my Valentine, Amon Amarth, etc. are going to stay forever. Since 2018 a lot has changed.
With Michael Geuze (Guitars) and André Hammerer (Drums) the new musical basis, and with founding member Benjamin Herter the new lyrical basis has been found. With Aaron Schedler (Guitars) and Günter Meusburger (Bass) another two creative minds joined. Together they are now specifying ideas, structures and arrangements and keep on constantly working for their ideas to become reality.
Music is passion - passion is to live in the moment. Sortout creates moments.
Their musical style could be roughly described as metalcore, but the sound has a lot more different aspects in it. It is the result of various musical backgrounds of each of the members which is defining Sortout today. With marching drums, knife-edged guitar riffs, forceful shouts and catchy clean vocals, they create their very own, exceptional and unmistakable sound.
Illusions
Sortout Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is a mirage of the dreams we have
Colorful
So close, so unreal
What we want
What we need
Are illusions that keep us alive
Can you see it?
The sound of living
If you stop to dream you just exist
When we think we can see what's behind the dust
When our eyes are everything we gonna trust
Is it real?
Or is it blind faith?
Just listen!
What we see
In the dice, we close your eyes
Just want to know you
You keep yourself alive
Is a delusion of reality
Alive
So close, so ready to hand
What we want
What we need
Is a way to see
That leads not astray
And let yourself feel
Beautiful dreams
If you're helpless
They let you exist
When we think we can see what's behind the dust
When our eyes are everything we gonna trust
Is it real?
Or is it blind faith?
Just listen!
When we seek in the dice
We close your eyes
Just want to know you
You keep yourself alive
You keep yourself alive
Fear keeps me from doing what I feel
My illusions control me from what is real
My dreams are my last resort
My dreams are illusions
The lyrics of the song "Illusions" by Sortout are about the nature of reality and how our perceptions can be deceptive. The opening lines "What we see is a mirage of the dreams we have, Colorful, So close, so unreal" suggest that what we see and believe to be real is often just a product of our imagination. We create illusions that keep us going, that keep us alive, but the truth is often more elusive than we realize. The chorus encourages us to listen and question our perceptions: "Just listen! What we see, Is it real? Or is it blind faith?"
The lyrics address the dangers of relying on illusions and the need to find a way to see the world more clearly: "What we want, What we need, Is a way to see, That leads not astray". The song suggests that we need to let ourselves feel beautiful dreams but not be so reliant on them that they control us. The final lines of the song hint at the fear that can come from confronting reality: "Fear keeps me from doing what I feel, My illusions control me from what is real, My dreams are my last resort, My dreams are illusions."
Overall, the song "Illusions" by Sortout is a thought-provoking exploration of the human tendency to create illusions and the need to find a way to see reality more clearly.
