Want to Buy Some Illusions
Embrace the Bittersweet: Illusions of Love and Pain
Lyrics
Want to buy some illusions,
Desire to acquire false beliefs or misconceptions
Slightly used, second-hand?
Previously owned, not brand new?
They were lovely illusions,
These misconceptions seemed appealing
Reaching high, built on sand.
They were fragile, lacking a solid foundation
They had a touch of paradise,
Had qualities of an ideal place
A spell you cant explain:
Had a mysterious charm difficult to describe
For in this crazy paradise,
Within this chaotic ideal place
You are in love with pain.
Love for suffering or distress within this false idealism
Want to buy some illusions,
Interested in acquiring false beliefs again?
Slightly used, almost new?
Not entirely used, almost like new?
They were lovely illusions -
These false beliefs were focused on the listener
And theyre all about you.
The illusions are tailored to the individual
I sell them all for a penny,
Offering them at a very low price
They make pretty souvenirs.
Can serve as attractive reminders
Take my lovely illusions -
Take hold of these appealing but false beliefs
Some for laughs, some for tears.
Some are for amusement, some for sorrow
For memories, for photographs
For recollections and captured moments
For laughter, for drinks
For joyous occasions and celebrations
For memories, some for laughter
Memories crafted for happiness and amusement
Some for tears, for memories,
Some to evoke sadness for remembered experiences
Illusions, photographs, movies.
Illusions, photos, and films intertwined
Want to buy some illusions?
Interested in purchasing false beliefs again?
