Illusion
VERSA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm like a prayer you whisper from your window to the world
No matter what you say, I won't stay
I'll find a way
Promise you won't say, promise you won't say a word
Promise you won't say a word
Promise you won't say...
Tired of the illusion
It's all in my head
Tell me something I've never heard before
I think you're losing your illusion
I think I'm seeing through it
Feelings resurrect
They leave a mess
I bury it
And I never said, and I never said a word
And I never said
I'd rather be dead honest with you
Tired of the illusion
It's all in my head
I'd rather be dead honest with you
The lyrics of VERSA's "Illusion" are filled with an emotional rollercoaster that uncovers the layers of deception and dishonesty. The song is about confronting and dealing with illusions and facing the truth. It talks about the singer wanting to be honest and not hide anything from their partner, which is why they vow to never stay silent and expect the same in return.
The opening lines, "Tell you something you've never heard before, I'm like a prayer you whisper from your window to the world," suggest that the singer wants to confess something necessary and meaningful to their partner. They want to be heard and acknowledge that their words have a pivotal significance. When they say, "No matter what you say, I won't stay, I'll find a way," it shows that they don't want to be strung along anymore and will find a way to move on if things don't change.
The chorus of the song, "I'd rather be dead honest with you, Tired of the illusion, It's all in my head," is the most powerful part of the song. The singer is sick and tired of being hidden behind the illusions and lies they've been told. They are ready to face the truth, even if it hurts. The lines "Tell me something I've never heard before, I think you're losing your illusion, I think I'm seeing through it" indicate that it's not only the singer who's been living under illusions, but their partner as well. The singer believes that their partner is losing their hold on the illusion and that they can see through it.
In conclusion, "Illusion" is an emotional and honest song about wanting to break free from the cycle of lies and deception. It's a plea for honesty and opening up, even if it's painful in the end.

These 2 were too forward to their time, a song like this would be a billboard hit today, their latest works aged very well. So sad that VersaEmerge and also Versa didn't have the recognition they deserved. At least they used all that creativity to help other bands/artists like PVRIS to get the recognition they couldn't

I remember finding this song years ago, and I was on a light mushroom trip in the middle of the night walking through the streets of my hometown, don’t think I’ll ever forget that night because this song almost made it feel like a spiritual experience.

This is one of the most amazing display of genuine music, as well as production, that I've seen in a very long time.
