That's right
(Bluey, why you do it to 'em?)
Yeah
I'ma smoke this blunt and I'ma think of you (yeah, I'ma think of you), yeah
If I pour this cup then I won't think of you (hope I don't think of you), yeah
It's been a while since you seen me lately
Can't let you go, it's been driving me crazy (can't let you go)
Even though you know that I want to
I'm still here
You're still there
You still care (still care)
Tell me now if it's all an illusion
And if so
Then that's fine
And I'll go (I'll go)
But either way we'll both know what the truth is
Love me or not
I'm all that you got (I'm all that you got, yeah)
Or at least what you had
Believe it or not (believe it or not, yeah)
Little baby don't think I forgot
When you use to need me a lot
Look at you now, you're established
No need to sneak in the spot
I'ma smoke this blunt and I'ma think of you (yeah, I'ma think of you), yeah
If I pour this cup then I won't think of you (hope I don't think of you), yeah
It's been a while since you seen me lately
Ain't at the club 'less I'm doing a walk through
Can't let you go, it's been driving me crazy (can't let you go)
Even though you know that I want to
Fuck it up, break (break)
Pick me up, late (late)
You can not stay
Over again
Yeah, I'm drunk as fuck, wait (wait)
Is this a date? (date)
Let me know now
I don't got time to waste
Off on your own
Baby, who could of imagined
We would come this far just to throw it away again?
(Baby, who would imagine)
Come this far just to throw it away again
I'ma smoke this blunt and I'ma think of you (yeah, I'ma think of you), yeah
If I pour this cup then I won't think of you (hope I don't think of you), yeah
It's been a while since you seen me lately
Ain't at the club 'less I'm doing a walk through
Can't let you go, it's been driving me crazy (can't let you go)
Even though you know that I want to
The lyrics to Yung Pinch's song "Illusion" delve into themes of longing, nostalgia, inner conflict, and acceptance of reality. The opening lines hint at a persona who identifies as a 'Beach boy,' suggesting a carefree and laid-back demeanor. This self-assured attitude is reinforced with the declaration of smoking a blunt and contemplation of a past connection, possibly romantic, symbolized by the refrain of thinking about someone. The act of pouring a cup is juxtaposed with the desire to avoid thoughts of the past or a specific person, reflecting a struggle to move on yet being unable to fully detach emotionally.
The lyrics further navigate the internal turmoil of missing someone despite efforts to distance oneself. The singer expresses awareness of their absence from certain social settings and acknowledges the inner turmoil caused by not being able to let go of the past relationship. The repeated insistence that they can't let go juxtaposed with the acknowledgement that they want to highlights the conflicting emotions at play within the singer.
The chorus delves deeper into the uncertainties and illusions of relationships. The plea to be told if it's all an illusion or not reflects a desire for honesty and clarity, even if the truth may be painful. The contemplation of whether love exists or not, coupled with the recognition of being someone significant to the other person, underscores a desire for understanding and closure in the face of ambiguity and emotional complexity.
The song's bridge and closing verses further encapsulate a sense of drunken vulnerability, mixed signals, and a realization of how far the relationship has come only to possibly meet an end. The push and pull dynamic, highlighted by the back-and-forth of thinking about the person contrasted with attempts to avoid those thoughts, encapsulates the ongoing struggle to let go and move forward while being tethered to the past. Ultimately, "Illusion" encapsulates a poignant exploration of love, loss, and self-realization in the face of emotional turmoil and uncertainty.
