Illusion of the Past

about

[CONCEPT]
We can never erase the past. However, what if regretting past mistakes is making you hesitate to take up a new challenge? Picture the rejections and negative reactions from others that have been afflicting you like a nightmare. Realize that those are now only images in your head. Open up your inner eyes, let’s get out of the dungeon of repentance. In reality, we should build a solid relationship with only what can be found before us at this moment.

lyrics

[LYRICS]
When I'm stuck with thoughts of mine
Days of tears came up to mind
But now I know it’s time to get out of there
Take a breath and close my eyes
Don’t resist, just say goodbye
Till the storm is gone

This disease is hard to cure
My regrets, deep inside of me
I tell myself it’s time to take a closer look
With inner eyes, it’ll be okay
Just thoughts of mine, don’t be afraid
Now, I must be brave

I don’t need a place to hide
From the mistakes that I’ve made
I’ll never be confined to the illusion of the past
Never again

Shaking off the fog in my head
I'll sail through the stormy days
‘Cause, I’ve learned how to see things the way they are
Don’t need to be so cynical
My confidence, now it's real
I won’t be afraid

I just wanna prove that
I can stand up and go much further
And I’ll never be confined to the illusion of the past
Never again

Oh, say goodbye to all my fears…

I don’t need a place to hide
From the mistakes that I’ve made
No, I don’t mean to deny what I’ve done before
I just need to let things go
And I’ll never be confined to the illusion of the past
Never again

Goodbye, my days of tears… (all my fears…)

When I'm stuck with thoughts of mine
Days of tears came up to mind
But now I know it’s time to get out of there
Take a breath and close my eyes
Don’t resist

Just say goodbye to the illusion of the past
The illusion of the past

I feel myself becoming awake
