Black Illusion
Unveiling Shadows: Ozzy's Black Illusion Decoded
Lyrics
You load the dice and paint the smile upon your face
You manipulate situations by unfairly influencing outcomes and pretend to be happy.
With fingers crossed you switch the perfume with the mace
You take a deceptive approach, hoping for good luck but preparing for potential harm.
What kind of dreams to you enjoy inside your bed
What kind of dreams or aspirations do you have when you're alone in bed?
I'll face the lies and shake the evil from your head
The speaker will confront falsehoods and attempt to free you from negative influences.
Black Illusion
Reference to a pervasive dark and deceptive perception or experience.
Is all I ever see
The predominant view or experience is one of a dark and deceptive illusion.
Black Illusion
The illusion brings suffering and distress to the person addressed.
I bring you misery
The speaker is the source of the misery caused by the black illusion.
Oh yeah
An emphatic expression of the negative impact and misery caused.
Yeah
Reiteration of the intensity of the negative experience.
You always seem to know the answer to it all
You consistently claim to know the solution to everything.
You seem to cheat the truth and never take the fall
You avoid facing the truth and consequences, avoiding accountability.
Your life is hollow and you simply the rules
Your life lacks substance, and you manipulate the established norms.
The time will come when you will join the other fools
A prediction that you will eventually face the consequences like others who have been foolish.
Black Illusion
Reiteration of the pervasive dark and deceptive perception or experience.

I bring you misery

Oh yeah

Yeah
Reiteration of the intensity of the negative experience.
I load the dice and fake a smile upon my face
The speaker now admits to engaging in manipulative behavior, like the person addressed earlier.
With fingers crossed I switch the perfume with the mace
Similar to line 2, the speaker engages in deceptive actions, preparing for potential harm.
What kind of dreams do I enjoy inside my bed
The speaker reflects on their own dreams and aspirations in bed.
You'll face the lies and shake the evil from my head
The person addressed will face the lies and attempt to remove negative influences from the speaker's mind.
