Chasing Illusions

Dark Melodic Rock / Gothic Noir

The Story

Step into the corridor of glass. “Chasing Illusions” is a journey into the void between desire and reality. It’s the story of a king in a hollow town, chasing a phantom that always slips through his fingers.

Musically, the track moves from a driving, dark rock pulse into a fragile, intimate breakdown—ending not with a bang, but with a whisper. It captures the moment when the smoke clears, and you realize you are holding nothing but air.

If you’ve ever chased a ghost, you know this feeling.

Lyrics

I’m walking through a corridor of glass
Watching all the reflections pass
Reaching out to touch your face
But my fingers only find empty space
The light is playing tricks on me
Showing me things I want to see
A golden promise in the dark
But it’s just a dying spark

I know the truth, deep inside
There is nowhere left to hide
But I keep running in this maze
Lost within the purple haze

Chasing illusions...
I’m chasing illusions down
I’m the king of a hollow town
Built of smoke and built of lies
I can see it in your eyes
Nothing is real, nothing is true
But I am still reaching out for you
Chasing illusions...

I try to wake up from the dream
But nothing is ever what it seems
You are the water slipping through my hand
A castle made of shifting sand
Why does the phantom feel so warm?
Why do I seek the eye of the storm?
I’m drinking poison just to feel
Trying to make the shadow real

I know the truth, deep inside
There is nowhere left to hide

It fades away.
It always fades away.
Just let me hold it for one more day.
One more day!

Chasing illusions...
I’m chasing illusions down
I’m the king of a hollow town
Built of smoke and built of lies
I can see it in your eyes...

Nothing is real.
Nothing is true.
