All Fantastic Images
Unveiling Reality: Bad Religion's Insight into Illusions
Lyrics
England seemed like such a beautiful place from afar
England appeared beautiful from a distance.
Until one day I went and saw how miserabely how things really are
Upon closer inspection, the reality was miserable.
All fantastic images they only are apparent
Fantastic images are only superficial and not real.
Propagated just by hope and desire to share it
Spread by hope and the desire to share them.
Beauty was the allure that brought me close to you
Beauty attracted the speaker to someone.
Loneliness was the bond that made me stick like glue
Loneliness was the force that kept the connection strong.
All fantastic images they only are apparent
Fantastic images are only illusions.
Promoted by desperate hope that things are somewhere better
Promoted by desperate hope for a better reality.
I don't have a thing against fantasy
No opposition to fantasy, but chasing it blindly doesn't make sense.
But to chase it down just don't make sense to me
Chasing fantasies seems irrational to the speaker.
If you're only hope is simply peace and love
Relying solely on hope for peace and love leads to discarding one's true self.
You end up discarding most of what you're made of
Most of one's identity is abandoned in pursuit of peace and love.
All fantastic images they only are apparent
Fantastic images are only illusions.
Promoted by desperate hope
Promoted by desperate hope.
And the need to share it
The need to share these illusions persists.
