Just An Illusion
The Imagination Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Searching for a destiny that's mine
There's another place another time
Touching many hearts along the way yeah
Hoping that I'll never have to say

It's just an illusion, illusion, illusion

Follow your emotions anywhere
Is it really magic in the air
Never let your feelings get you down
Open up your eyes and look around

It's just an illusion, illusion, illusion

Could it be that it's just an illusion
Putting me back in all this confusion
Could it be that it's just an illusion now
Could it be that it's just an illusion
Putting me back in all this confusion
Could it be that it's just an illusion now

Could it be a picture in my mind
Never sure exactly what I'll find
Only in my dreams I turn you on
Here for just a moment then you're gone

It's just an illusion, illusion, illusion

Illusion, illusion, illusion, illusion

Could it be that it's just an illusion
Putting me back in all this confusion
Could it be that it's just an illusion now
Could it be that it's just an illusion
Putting me back in all this confusion
Could it be that it's just an illusion now

Could it be that
Putting me back
Could it be that
Could it be that it's just an illusion
Putting me back in all this confusion
Could it be that it's just an illusion now

Could it be that it's just an illusion
Putting me back in all this confusion
Could it be that it's just an illusion now

Could it be that it's just an illusion




Putting me back in all this confusion
Could it be that it's just an illusion now

Overall Meaning

The Imagination's song "Just An Illusion" is about the search for a destiny that seems elusive, as if it's just a figment of imagination or an illusion. The singer describes searching for another place and time where he can find his destiny. Along the way, he touches many hearts with the hope that he'll never have to admit that all of this is just an illusion. The chorus repeats the idea that it's just an illusion, inviting the listener to consider that what they are experiencing might not be real.


The singer encourages the listener to follow their emotions anywhere, to explore the magic in the air. He advises the listener to not let their feelings get them down, but rather to open their eyes and look around. Even so, he wonders if it's all just an illusion, and if it's putting him back in all this confusion. He imagines a picture in his mind, where he's never sure exactly what he'll find. Only in his dreams can he turn on his love interest, who is here for just a moment before disappearing once again.


The song is ultimately about the elusiveness of destiny, the way in which it can seem just out of reach or like a dream that can't quite be grasped. It's about the power of imagination and the way in which we can conjure up feelings and experiences that may or may not be real. The song invites the listener to consider the illusions that they might be living under and to question the reality of their experiences.
