Illusion
no! Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

命の並んだ午前零時のスーパーマーケット
これから食べる命を選ぶんだ
TVで放送されている 爆弾が降る民族紛争は
音声も映像も調整された戦争

機械仕掛けの「僕らの真実」はいつか
貴方の心を壊してしまうだろう
僕たちが見ている世界は
加工 調整 再現 処理された世界
だから貴方が見ているその世界だけがすべてではないと
皆だってそう思わないかい?

命をぶち込んだ灼熱の動物ランド
僕らはそこでホッキョクグマと出逢えるんだ
僕はコンピューターで無限の宇宙を見て
"もうすべてを知っている" と錯覚するんだ

生きていくことがあまりにも便利になったから
生きているという実感がなくなっている
僕の知っている「現実」が どうか嘘でありますようにと
神様の「形」の「人形」に祈るんだ

機械仕掛けの「僕らの真実」はいつか
貴方の心を壊してしまうだろう

僕たちが見ている世界は
加工 調整 再現 処理された世界




だから貴方が見ているその世界だけがすべてではないと
皆だってそう思わないかい?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to no!'s song "Illusion" delve into themes of technology, mass media, and the nature of reality. The opening lines describe a scene at a supermarket at midnight, where people are selecting the food they will eat, which the songwriter compares to choosing life itself. In the next line, the artist references a televised ethnic conflict that is presented to the public as a "war" but is in reality a manipulated, constructed reality made to fit a media narrative. The song continues to describe the ways in which the world we see is a constructed, processed version of reality, manufactured by and fed to us through the media and technology.


The singer then talks about a place called "Animal Land," where, through technology, they can see an infinite universe and feel as though they know everything. However, this only serves to heighten their sense of displacement and disconnection from the world around them. They describe how modern society has made it too easy to live without any true sense of reality or meaning, leaving them to pray that the reality they know is not a lie.


Overall, the lyrics of "Illusion" offer a powerful commentary on the state of modern society, questioning the ways in which humanity has become disconnected from reality through advances in technology and the media.

[Intro]
Illusion, illusion, illusion........

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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?
(2x)

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]

[Repeat Chorus until fade]
