Victim of Illusion
Unveiling the Painful Mirage: Michael Schenker's Victim of Illusion
Lyrics
I can't put out the fire,been blinded by the flame,
I'm unable to extinguish the intense emotions; I've been dazzled by the passion.
I have to run for cover, can't stand the pain
I must seek refuge, as I cannot endure the emotional distress.
Can't stand the pain
Reiterates the inability to endure the emotional pain.
The screams are loud but then he can't hear
The cries are audible, but the person causing them is oblivious.
Nightmare shows his face, then disappears
A terrifying experience is revealed but quickly vanishes.
Ooh victim of illusion, ooh victim of illusion
Expresses being a victim of deceptive perceptions or false beliefs.
Gone is the free expression, but look into my eyes,
The freedom to express oneself openly is lost, but there's a plea to look into the singer's eyes.
The silent world is laughing, the mirror never lies,
The quiet world mocks, and reflections in the mirror are always truthful.
The mirror never lies!
Emphasizes the reliability of the mirror's reflection.
The screams are loud but then he can't hear
Repeats the notion that despite loud cries, the person causing the distress remains oblivious.
Nightmare shows his face, then disappears
A frightening experience is glimpsed but quickly fades away.
Ooh victim of illusion, ooh victim of illusion
Reiterates the feeling of being deceived by illusions.
Down, down, you gotta find a way, 'cause if you
Commands to find a solution when feeling down because if you don't trust your perceptions,
Don't believe in what you're seeing now
Expresses skepticism about what is currently observed.
There's nothing more to say!
Asserts there is nothing more to communicate or clarify.
I can't put out the fire, been blinded by the flame
Repeats the inability to extinguish intense emotions, reiterating being dazzled by passion.
I have to run for cover, can't stand the pain
Repeats the need to seek refuge due to unbearable emotional distress.
Can't stand the pain
Reiterates the inability to endure the emotional pain.
The screams are loud but then he can't hear
Despite loud cries, the person causing the distress remains oblivious.
Nightmare shows his face, then disappears,
Repeats the occurrence of a terrifying experience that quickly disappears.
Ooh victim of illusion, ooh victim of illusion
Restates the feeling of being a victim of deceptive perceptions or false beliefs.
