AS I LAY DYING
- Illusions Lyrics / with translationshow could i ever go back....
back to the life
where i lived amongst the dead
those who have forgotten how to feel
and become slaves to memory
and wishful thinking
but your love has set me free
as you've awakened every star
that has been sleeping
in the constellation of my soul
how could i go back
to live amongst the dead
those who imprisoned beauty
i never want to leave your arms
so i wait in hope for your embrace
illusions of what i thought was love
now i have clear sight
to see i've left nothing behind
back to the life
where i lived amongst the dead
those who have forgotten how to feel
and become slaves to memory
and wishful thinking
but your love has set me free
as you've awakened every star
that has been sleeping
in the constellation of my soul
to live amongst the dead
those who imprisoned beauty
i never want to leave your arms
so i wait in hope for your embrace
illusions of what i thought was love
now i have clear sight
to see i've left nothing behind
Facts about Illusions
✔️
Illusions is written by Timothy Lambesis.
✔️
It is first released on June 14, 2005 as part of As I Lay Dying's album "Shadows Are Security" which includes 12 tracks in total. This song is the 11st track on this album.
✔️
When we ask ourselves what the song was truly meant to express, in ‘Illusions’ by As I Lay Dying, the artist thinks about the change of heart that comes with love, and he juxtaposes it with his past life that was entirely emotionally numb and full of delusion. The imagery of 'living among the dead' is a metaphor for the lacking emotions situation, whereas 'awakened stars in the constellation of my soul' is a metaphor for the amazing and uplifting power of true love. The lyrics of 'Illusions' mainly call to mind love, spirituality, empowerment, and hope, along with the stress on the importance of liberation through love, rejection of the past life, embracing of the true love and being disillusioned with one's past relationships. The lyrics are full of mature themes and emotional language and thus they are likely to be more appealing to an older audience. The content deals with liberation and love feelings that are strong but not explicit. There is no profanity, violence, or sexual content but the emotional depth and the abstract themes suggest that a PG rating is appropriate for parental guidance.
