Illusions
p.o.q Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Y se mujer
Todo lo que tengo para ofrecer
Y sé tal vez
Todo lo malo que cause
I can't do this
Been struggling with the past
Now we are threw this
When you said

You loved me
Sold me a lie
Just another illusion
Si la vida es solo una hay que disfrutarla
El amor que descubrí ya no me hace falta
Siento tanto miedo que mi cora ya no aguanta
El latido de mi pecho dice que algo falta
And who was I to you
Tell me was it true
Fairytale gone bad
Reality hits
Nothing lasts
Sick and tired
But nobody listening
Everybody here
But you that i'm missing
Sick and tired
But nobody listening
Everybody here
But you that i'm missing
Quiero olvidar pero vuelvo a amarte
Quiero borrar pero vuelvo a soñarte
Quiero olvidar pero vuelvo a amarte
Quiero intentar pero todo ya es tarde
Pero todo ya es tarde
Y se mujer
Todo lo que tengo para ofrecer
Y sé tal vez
Todo lo malo que cause
I can't do this
Been struggling with the past
Now we are threw this
When you said
You loved me
Sold me a lie
Just another illusion
I am bleeding
I am bleeding
I am bleeding
Sick and tired
But nobody listening
Everybody here
But you that i'm missing
Sick and tired
But nobody listening
Everybody here
But you that i'm missing
Quiero olvidar pero vuelvo a amarte
Quiero borrar pero vuelvo a soñarte
Quiero olvidar pero vuelvo a amarte
Quiero intentar pero todo ya es tarde
I thought I could keep you close but
Every time you let me down and you hurt me over and over again

I'm tired of giving you chances it drains me it hurts me
I'm sorry I can't do this anymore

Overall Meaning

He could not get over the times they spent together and often thinks about the places they used to hang out. Though he tries to move on, the memories keep coming back to him and he finds himself seeing illusions of the person being around him. He even wonders if his mind is playing tricks on him and someone has put a hex on him.

The song speaks about the inner conflict of someone who is unable to forget their past love. Despite their best efforts, the memories linger on and evoke strong emotions. The singer seems to be trapped in this cycle of nostalgia and illusions which prevent him from fully moving on.

Cause somebody put a hex on me

But I swore I saw ya there, yeah, yeah, yeah
Despite all this confusion and longing, I am still convinced that I saw you in that place, and I cannot shake this feeling
