Illusion
thee-o & erin powers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
기억이 지워진 과거 안에
어릴적 꿈에서 보았던
그녀의 모습 여인의 얼굴
not anymore but not anymore
검기만한 하늘에 별 하나가 보여
먼지처럼 생긴 구름 스쳐가 보여야
하는 달은 눈을 감아야 보여
눈을 뜨면 바다 한 가운데에 있어
눈을 감으면 그녀가 내 앞에 서있어
누군가에게 도움을 청해야 한다면
두손 모아 신에게 기도를 하겠어
손 위로 올려진 거품
물과 섞이며 천천히 사라져 가네
존재하지 않아 온 세상을
차가운 갈색으로 다 칠했어
손 위로 올려진 거품
물과 섞이며 천천히 사라져 가네
존재하지 않아 온 세상을
차가운 갈색으로 다 칠했어
아무렇지 않을거야 어차피 인생의
한 조각일 뿐
다 그렇게 사는거야 어차피
길 잃은 삶 한량일 뿐
저 멀리 행선지를 정했지만 지도는
그 곳을 보여주지 않아
주머니가 텅 비어 가는
동안 예술은 점점 더 영원하다
허상이 허상에 허상에
허상에 허상을 만들었지만
영혼이 죽음으로 달려가는 동안
진짜와 가짜를 구별해 가
순수함 순진함을 가장한 현실은
코 앞에서 이빨을 보여
무기한 죄수로 사는 거야
누구든 꿈으로 헤엄쳐 가면
이기적 자의적 배타적
괴리감 자멸감 소멸되는 색깔
청춘의 시간은 뭉개지고 틀어져
사회 속 퍼즐이 된다
손 위로 올려진 거품
물과 섞이며 천천히 사라져 가네
존재하지 않아 온 세상을
차가운 갈색으로 다 칠했어
The lyrics of Thee-O & Erin Powers' "Illusion" explore the concept of lost memories and illusions, specifically through the imagery of a woman from the past that the singer saw in their dreams as a child. The opening lines ask what has been lost and wonders if those memories have been erased in the past. The image of the woman's face is described as being that of a lady from the dream the singer had as a child. The repeating line "not anymore" could suggest that the dream or the memory of the person is now gone. The second verse takes on a more poignant tone, reflecting on the passing of seasons and the continued coldness, as if to emphasize that even the things that change can still be distant and unattainable. The final lines of the song suggest that everything is an illusion, including the pure and innocent things, and that these illusions can lead to a sense of emptiness, loss, and even existential crisis.
Overall, the lyrics project a sense of longing and a search for meaning in a world that seems lost and uncertain. The theme of illusion suggests that things are not always what they seem, and the repetition of phrases like "not anymore" and "all just an illusion" suggests a sense of disillusionment with reality. The imagery of the woman, the passing seasons, the sea, the bubbles, and the stars all serve to create a dreamlike and otherworldly atmosphere that emphasizes the sense of lost memories and elusive goals.

Not anymore, but not anymore
검기만한 하늘에 별 하나가 보여
One star visible in the dark sky
먼지처럼 생긴 구름 스쳐가 보여야
The clouds that look like dust must pass by
하는 달은 눈을 감아야 보여
The moon we seek only appears when we close our eyes
계절은 지나가지만 여전히 차가워
The seasons pass but it remains cold
눈을 뜨면 바다 한 가운데에 있어
When I open my eyes, I am in the middle of the sea
눈을 감으면 그녀가 내 앞에 서있어
When I close my eyes, there she stands in front of me
누군가에게 도움을 청해야 한다면
If I need to ask for help from someone
두손 모아 신에게 기도를 하겠어
I will pray to God with my hands together
손 위로 올려진 거품
Foam rising above my hand
물과 섞이며 천천히 사라져 가네
Mixing with water and slowly disappearing
존재하지 않아 온 세상을
Wiping out the whole world that doesn't exist
차가운 갈색으로 다 칠했어
Covering it all in a cold brown

It doesn't matter, it's just a piece of life after all
한 조각일 뿐
Just a small piece
다 그렇게 사는거야 어차피
Everyone lives like that, anyway
길 잃은 삶 한량일 뿐
Just lost souls living their lives
저 멀리 행선지를 정했지만 지도는
We have set a destination in the distance, but the map doesn't show it
그 곳을 보여주지 않아
Failing to reveal that place
주머니가 텅 비어 가는
As my pockets become empty
동안 예술은 점점 더 영원하다
Art becomes more and more eternal during that time
허상이 허상에 허상에
Illusions piling up on more illusions
허상에 허상을 만들었지만
Creating illusions within illusions
영혼이 죽음으로 달려가는 동안
While the soul rushes towards death
진짜와 가짜를 구별해 가
We try to differentiate between truth and lies
순수함 순진함을 가장한 현실은
Reality disguised behind innocence and naivety
코 앞에서 이빨을 보여
Showing its teeth right in front of us
무기한 죄수로 사는 거야
Living as an endless prisoner
누구든 꿈으로 헤엄쳐 가면
If anyone swims towards their dreams
이기적 자의적 배타적
Self-centered, self-seeking, and exclusive
괴리감 자멸감 소멸되는 색깔
Colors of alienation, self-destruction, and disappearance
청춘의 시간은 뭉개지고 틀어져
The time of youth crumples and warps
사회 속 퍼즐이 된다
It becomes a puzzle of society
손 위로 올려진 거품
Foam rising above my hand
물과 섞이며 천천히 사라져 가네
Mixing with water and slowly disappearing
존재하지 않아 온 세상을
Wiping out the whole world that doesn't exist
차가운 갈색으로 다 칠했어
Covering it all in a cold brown

50:15 --> "I Am"
That blew my mind, y'all!
Maybe it finally hit the right chord for my spiritual ears to actually hear -- or perhaps it was that wonderful journey of imagination, catching me off guard, leading to the 'visual' of 'nothingness' -- save, "I Am" ...
Idk & idc, tbh. I got nuttin but ~gratitude~ for this cornerstone concept, right here. It has already empowered me, somehow.
Heh: I AM ...!!
Just.
Wow.
Thank you, both, for EVERYthing. Literally.

If you step back and hear from a distance
even where you cant hear the words just the tone...its like a harmonious cello arraignment with the most harmonious sound...
So im tryin to say the resonance of the speech is harmonious,
Like if im an animal per say i would not be threatened by the tone
The tone based on intention is healing in itself
Now lets get busy rolling out our social healing relief programs
ie: Street BnBs- bathroom, hot shower, picinic table.... on a trailer...
Parked at any street park including 3 step Quantum meetings and networking which creates more soulutions like sustainable farm opportunities 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉!

I wish I knew then what I know now. That life isn’t black and white. It’s charged with confusion, winding bends paved with adrenaline, butterflies in your stomach floating aimlessly with no sense of direction, and child-like wonderment filled with light intermittently darkened by familiar shadows that can pull you down into the depths of your own hell. The judgements cast in the ignorance of my youth have become the fate of today. The wounds I have so mindlessly inflicted on loved ones and strangers alike have formed the tempestuous ocean of sorrows I must now tread. One thing I do know is that love is not a simple thing to be overlooked. It's breadth and scope is unfathomable, its penetration is multidimensional, it's faithfulness is eternally unwavering, and it's effect on the heart is deeply profound. Love is, without a doubt, the backdrop for all existence; the essence of what God is and who we are.

Have you written a book? You have an amazing way with words! ❤
Joshua Serino
@Sheila Anderson Thank you. I have only started writing a book. I'm through the first chapter but I'm struggling. Im finding it demands more energy than I have. Lol. Just one chapter and I'm exhausted. I usually stick to poetry. Maybe I should compile my poems into a book? 🤣
