about

When some people make the world from inside their minds their own reality, they inevitably fall on traps of their own making. The fast pace of life and its relationships, is both exciting and manic, specially when you set high expectations of the wrong people. Skunk Oil gives to that whole idea a sense of irony and cynicism on their new single "Illusion", with a bluesy alt/rock feel that will make you want shake your hips, bang your head and sing along.

Lyrics:

A little piece of magic solution
Your new gift is in my hands
It's a weird kind of contribution (yeah)
A purple bitten, a gorgeous mess

So watch me while I bleed
You wanna get it back
But it's too late

My eyes begin to freak
You wanna hold my hands
But your duty is an illusion

But then I see how beautiful it was
To have my share in my hands
But I know, life goes in circles. Yeah!
So let me spit it out again

Spit it out again
Oh Yeah! Spit on my face

Chorus:
So watch me while I bleed
You wanna get it back
But it's too late

My eyes begin to freak
You wanna hold my hands
But your duty is an illusion

(Solo)

So watch me while I bleed
You try to get it back
But it's too late

My eyes begin to freak
You wanna hold my hands
But your duty is an illusion

Your name is what I fear
I’m just insane
Oh! Suck the solution.
