Illusion
Tone Control Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's no reason, no reason to even prove
My own mind is a product of a negative views
No time to wreck a havoc
Cause im already a mess
Putting more weight on my shoulders
Seems like an easy work at best

Its time to think

Time to Erase
But it takes time to take it all OUT

Feeling guilty is an overrated thing
Ill break the chip off my shoulder
Just to die like the kings and queens
This cycle of sickness is overwhelming
If you choose or refuse there's still a six feet bed made for you

(Feat. Akram)
I got an ice soul
And im not afraid to show it
If the prize is up for grab
I rather not take it
Always living low
Keep my thoughts to myself
Have no cruel intentions
And only fend for myself

No no
I don't need pain in my life
No no
I earned my means to survive

And when time erase my footsteps
I'll be eating dirt
The only thing that's left is memories from my past

And when time erase my footsteps
I'll be laid in dirt

The line "when time erase my footsteps, I'll be eating dirt" is a powerful reminder of the impermanence of life and the inevitability of death. The singer acknowledges that they will eventually die and be laid in dirt, but seemingly finds solace in the fact that they will leave behind memories from their past.
