Illusion
Illusion
Searching for a destiny that is mine
There is another place, another time
Touching any heart along the way yeah
Hoping that I all never have to say
It is just illusion ooh, aoh, ooh, ooh, ahah
Illusion ooh, aoh, ooh, ooh, ah ah, illusion
Follow your emotions, everywhere
There is a bit of magic in the air
Never let your feelings get you down
Open up your eyes and look around
It is just illusion ooh, aoh, ooh, ooh, ahah
Illusion ooh, aoh, ooh, ooh, ah ah,illusion
Could it be that, it is just an illusion
Putting me back, in all this confusion
Could it be that, it is just an illusion
Ahhhh
Could it be that, it is just an illusion
Putting me back, in all this confusion
Could it be that, it is just an illusion
Ahhhh
Could it be a picture in my mind
Never sure exactly what I all find
Only in my dreams I turn you on
Here for just a moment then you are gone
It is just illusion ooh, aoh, ooh, ooh, ah ah
Illusion ooh, aoh, ooh, ooh, ah ah, illusion
Ooh, aoh, ooh, ooh, ah ah, illusion
Ooh, aoh, ooh, ooh, ah ah, illusion
Ooh, aoh, ooh, ooh, ah ah, illusion
Ooh, aoh, ooh, ooh, ah ah, illusion
Could it be that, it is just an illusion
Putting me back, in all this confusion
Could it be that, it is just an illusion
Ahhhh
Could it be that, it's just an illusion
Putting me back, in all this confusion
Could it be that, it is just an illusion
Ahhhh
Ahhhh
Ahhhh
Could it be that
Could it be that
Could it be that
Ahhhh
Could it be that, it is just an illusion
Putting me back, in all this confusion
Could it be that, it is just an illusion

Putting me back, in all this confusion
Could it be that, it is just an illusion(yeah)

Putting me back, in all this confusion(yeah yeah yeah)
Could it be that, it is just an illusion
Ahhhh
Could it be that, it is just an illusion
Putting me back, in all this confusion
About This Song
"Just An Illusion" is a sophisticated disco-funk masterpiece that explores the tension between hope and reality, questioning whether our dreams and feelings are genuine or merely deceptive mirages. The lyrics grapple with existential uncertainty as the narrator searches for destiny while wondering if the magic they feel is real or just an emotional trick of the mind. Musically, the track features Imagination's signature blend of smooth R&B vocals, infectious synthesizer hooks, and a hypnotic groove that perfectly mirrors the song's theme of being caught between reality and fantasy. The song's distinctive talk-box effects and lush production create an otherworldly atmosphere that makes the listener feel suspended in the same dreamlike state the lyrics describe. It became a defining track of early 80s British soul and remains influential for its seamless fusion of disco, funk, and emerging electronic elements, while its philosophical questioning of perception versus reality gives it lasting emotional resonance.
