The Illusion
Unveiling Life's Puppetry: The Illusion by Matt Larabie
Lyrics
I'd like to be
I desire to be
Inside the stream of popularity
Immersed in the current of popularity
Like on TV
Similar to the portrayal on television
Project and see what I'm wanting things to be
To express and witness the envisioned state of things
Is that so different from reality
Questioning if this desire is fundamentally different from reality
Forgiving thoughts to the man who talks to the girl I love when we're on the rocks
Understanding and forgiving the man who converses with the girl I love during challenging times
Oh I talk and I talk, and I wish I would stop but there is no block in my mind
Ongoing verbal expression despite the wish to cease, as there is no mental barrier
So I'll just be who I hope to be
Choosing to embody the ideal self
Provoked and pulled by things unseen
Stimulated and influenced by imperceptible forces
Never thought life would be like this
Unexpectedly experiencing life in this manner
Moments gone by
Reflecting on moments that have passed
Imperfect bliss
A state of happiness that is not flawless
Oh, can't you see
Expressing frustration or disbelief
We're just puppets on a pair of strings
Humans portrayed as controlled entities influenced by external forces
Pulling at seems
Influencing and affecting the delicate aspects of individuals and their dreams
The threads of you the threads of me and our dreams
Questioning if these threads are shaping our reality
Is that what's making our reality?
Unraveling, using words as powerful weapons with no escape
Oh we come undone use our words like guns and I'll shoot you down, nowhere to run
Expressing a desire to cease if possible, but unable to restrain thoughts and words
Oh I'd stop if I could, but I can't hold back what's in my mind, on the tip of my tongue
Choosing to embody the ideal self despite unseen influences
So I'll just be who I hope to be
Stimulated and influenced by imperceptible forces
Provoked and pulled by things unseen
Unexpectedly experiencing life in this manner
Never thought life would be like this
Reflecting on moments that have passed
Moments gone by
A state of happiness that is not flawless
Imperfect bliss
Choosing to embody the ideal self
I'll just be who I hope to be
Stimulated and influenced by imperceptible forces
Provoked and pulled by things unseen
Unexpectedly experiencing life in this manner
Never thought life would be like this
Reflecting on moments that have passed
Moments gone by
A state of happiness that is not flawless
Imperfect bliss
Choosing to embody the ideal self
