Illusion
Unlike Pluto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She hates my friends so I had to let 'em go
And I know she hates my clothes so I
Had to trade 'em all
I know I'm not myself, it's true
Just like the water in the desert, I am an
Illusion illusion
The mask I made is starting to crack
Never could last nothing is forever
My life is spiraling out of control
Back to square one fuck it, I surrender
And I know
I'm uncomfortable with things that
I don't know and I know
I hide from myself, oh, she told me so
I was afraid you'd leave me lonely
Just like the sunset over water, I am an
Illusion illusion
The mask I made is starting to crack
Never could last nothing is forever
My life is spiraling out of control
Back to square one fuck it, I surrender
But now that you're gone
My reality was good enough, yeah
You may have left a mark on me, yeah
A reminder I'm not an
Illusion illusion
The mask I made is starting to crack
Never could last nothing is forever
My life is spiraling out of control
Back to square one fuck it, I surrender
The lyrics of "Illusion" by Unlike Pluto convey a sense of self-doubt, insecurity, and the struggle to maintain a facade. The song begins by acknowledging the singer's awareness of the impact their partner has on their life. They have let go of their friends and changed their appearance to please their lover, highlighting the compromises made in the relationship. The use of the word "illusion" emphasizes the idea that the person they have become is not their authentic self, comparing it to the mirage-like nature of water in the desert.
The chorus reveals the cracks in the mask they have constructed, suggesting that it was never sustainable in the first place. The realization that nothing lasts forever contributes to the feelings of their life spiraling out of control. The line "back to square one" implies a return to the starting point, indicating a sense of defeat and resignation.
In the second verse, the singer expresses discomfort with the unknown and their tendency to hide from themselves. They admit that their partner was afraid they would be left lonely, similar to the fleeting beauty of a sunset over water. This further emphasizes the transience and illusory nature of their relationship.
However, when their partner leaves, the singer recognizes that their reality was sufficient without them. The mark left by the relationship serves as a reminder that they are not just an illusion. This realization brings about a breakdown of the mask, leading to a sense of liberation and acceptance.
