Illusion

"Illusion's one of my favorite songs on the album. It's, you know, a song that's a little different from what I've done...typically. There's a lot of reverb and a lot of space in this song, and a lot of reverb always sounds very cold to me."

- Zedd

Illusion is the eleventh and final track from Russian-German electronic music producer Zedd's second studio album, True Colors. It features vocals from Sydney Sierota of American alternative pop band Echosmith.

Background

Lyrics
Feels like the fairy tale is over I really wanted these pages to begin With once upon a time Like all those lullabies

I should have known better I'll admit it I thought when I let you in You were my shining knight From all those stories

This love is your illusion This love is your illusion

Take me to a place with real life love I need a break from this broken down fantasy Show me a place I can realize love Not your illusion

Feels like the fairy tale is over I really wanted these pages to begin With once upon a time Like all those lullabies

I should have known better I'll admit it I thought when I let you in You were my shining knight From all those stories

This love is your illusion This love is your illusion

Take me to a place with real life love I need a break from this broken down fantasy Show me a place I can realize love Not your illusion
