~Beautiful Illusion~
.
Verse
(D) walking down the mountains and found (C) himself in the long lost jungle,
(D) the night was so peaceful that it (C) kept his mouth so silently~(G)
yea (A) gonna drive him so crazy~ (B) (C)
(D) walking towards the moonlight and found out (C) his shadows following,
(D) the feeling was a little creepy but he (C) doesnt mind it yea he said
(G)and a question (A) stirs in his heart~ (B) (C)
.
.Verse 2
Walking by the beach and realize that the footprints were by his ones always,
and slowly they were fading away as time passes by like a spinning coin,
gonna drive him so crazy~
Walking across a river and he saw his image in the clear bright water
He thought he was thinking too much so he turned his head around,
and a question stirs in his heart.
.
Pre Chorus
(Em) what is (D) life to him (C)? gonna think (D) it over!
(Em) how does (D) it feel like (C) ? being by himself. (G)
.
.Chorus
he has no idea why, (C) feeling lonely in the crowded room.
(Em)He (D) searches high and low (C), just to dig the (D) truth out.(G)
Many questions, many answers,(C) but it goes round and round (Em)
Just to (D) find out why oh why (C), it's gonna take forever~(D)
.
Bridge
(C) but as he opened his eyes,
(D) and as he shared out his heart,
(Em) and as he open his arms,
(C) he realized that it was just a dream~
. Meaning of the Lyrics~
Alrite, wat u gotta know about this song!!! Yi Ming saw the lyrics and came out to me tellin me she's so lost... =.= guess im gonna explain it.. this song has double image lyrics btw.Meaning if you see the verses part all the scenery thingy... im not describing it but there's a theme of loneliness behind it. wait till u read till Chorus u will realize it..
.
Alrite i shall go one by one.. verse one... This guy was a lone ranger.. the night suppose to be the busy time chatting around.. but that night seemed to be quiet because he had no topic to talk wit anyone and this forced him to be silent? then talking about shadow.When anyone knows that he's walking with his shadow, it's a resemblens of loneliness? And he doesnt mind admitting it. But he was scared too and started questioned himself...
.
Verse two.It's always known that friends step into our lives and left their footprints/memories there. But friends had step out of his life and the footprints were fading away.and then he look into himself, his personality.. asking himself questions about what he had done wrongly..
.
But sooner the chorus reveals the true meaning of the song la... sayin loneliness and why... that guy goin around ask all.. but then in the bridge... this guy was just thinking too much. He had lotz of frenz, just that he thought it the other way. If you read my blog.. there's one post about loneliness... i think last two weeks i just posted. exactly the same meaning as it. .
.
and if i want to, i can end this song with the beginning of "Friends for life" my first song x) first of all, the themes link. and it's a nice build up duet song~ =)

cool, not bad...not bad at all. darn, i wish i can come up with lyrics like that. thought the song was a bittish emo tho, but anyways, still better than anything i can come up with. keep it up and maybe you'll be a really famous singer/songwriter!
