- Illusion, by VNV Nation.
This is one of my favorite songs, it's so deep and awesome :)
Here are some other lyrics videos I've done:

Lyrics of the song:
I know it's hard to tell how mixed up you feel
Hoping what you need is behind every door
Each time you get hurt, I don't want you to change
Because everyone has hopes, you're human after all
The feeling sometimes, wishing you were someone else
Feeling as though you never belong
This feeling is not sadness, this feeling is not joy
I truly understand. Please, don't cry now
Please don't go, I want you to stay
I'm begging you please, please don't leave here
I don't want you to hate;
For all the hurt that you feel,
The world is just illusion, trying to change you
Being like you are
Well this is something else, who would comprehend?
But some that do, lay claim
Divine purpose blesses them
That's not what I believe, and it doesn't matter anyway
A part of your soul ties you to the next world
Or maybe to the last, but I'm still not sure
But what I do know, is to us the world is different
As we are to the world but I guess you would know that
Please don't go, I want you to stay
I'm begging you please, please don't leave here
I don't want you to hate for all the hurt that you feel
The world is just illusion trying to change you
Please don't go, I want you to stay
I'm begging you please, oh please don't leave here
I don't want you to change;
For all the hurt that you feel,
This world is just illusion, always trying to change you
Please don't go, I want you to stay
I'm begging you please, please don't leave here
I don't want you to hate for all the hurt that you feel
The world is just illusion trying to change you
Please don't go, I want you to stay
I'm begging you please, oh please don't leave here
I don't want you to change;
For all the hurt that you feel,
This world is just illusion, always trying to change you
Thank you. I almost left last night. I’ve never heard anyone say these gentle words. Yes. I’m still here - because people like you tell me you care. Bless you, Friend.
🥰❤💚
You are not just cared for, but loved.
I almost left this world when my mom died, I'm glad this song helped others like it helped me.
This song saved me.
Me too.
Me too
@@francescotonino5257 100% righ its empty words only
@@francescotonino5257 Your reply is also useless. In fact it may even be detrimental to someone's life. The person who posted the comment you are referring to created a place where people can feel like they're not alone in their struggle. Whereas you are just making people feel bad for voicing how the song has helped. Further fueling the idea that people struggling should remain silent. Which is not true at all.
This song speaks simply and directly what a lot of people have felt on some occasion. Its so beautiful...
If you take away the immediate strains and look more deeper this song and it's lyrics show a deeper knowledge of ourselves that ost don't realise or want to admit,it hits on so many levels through depression and anxiety and just low confidence, we are good how we are if we have someone who accepts us how we are,if we don't...well, there's plenty of folks out here who will 😊
I have a cousin who's like a son to me. Since my mom died when i was just seventeen, i've been there for him in every step of his life. His parents are divorced since he's born and his dad is not always present. He suffered so much, i've done my best to give him a better life. I've assisted to him walking for the first time, his first words, i've explained him many things about the world and the universe, but what he learned from me is nothing compared from what i learned from him. He could fall asleep just holding my hand. He was like the son that i never had. Unfortunately, due to job causes, i had to go to live on the other side of the country. He is eight now, this happened one month ago, and when the lyrics says "please don't go, i want you to stay" those are the exact words he said to me while crying when i told him i had to leave for that cause, and since then every time i listen to this song and i get to that part i literally cry like a baby. Now forgive me if you will notice some typing mistake, but its damn hard to write with tears drowning your eyes.
《Iloveresistance》 holy crap. Call him all the time and visit frequently as finances will allow. The little boy in me is hurting for his uncle right now. I am glad you care for him!
Now 5 years have passed, how's things with your cousin? If he ever asks why you left just tell him straight but show him this song and tell him it reminds you of the time (if you've not already), when he's experienced enough in his life he'll understand the words sung and with a little understanding to how you felt at the time he'll comprehend the meaning of these lyrics and how they made you feel 😊
@@Kagoolie Hey, so not long after my departure, maybe a couple of months at best, I came back home (and thus I kept visiting him)he is almost 14 now. He grew up, now he is in his teenage years. We used to see each other and to keep in contact till not so long ago in the past 5 years, but gradually things changed and the more he grew the less he cared about me. As things stands today, we barely speak if we do. Now he puts his friends above me, he didn't even call me for my birthday a bit more than a week ago, and this made me realize that growth ruins people sometimes. All the effort, all the love, everything I've put, just to be trown away like an old toy that is no longer needed. Reading this comment back I realize how stupid and naive I was. All the sacrifices, all the money I've spent for him, just to vanish in the oblivion. Still, I don't regret a single minute of the time I spent with him when he was a child, I keep those memories of him as a child inside a golden trunk somewhere in my brain. That's how I want to remember him, always smiling, caring, joyful, selfless and full of love, for real he was the sweetest little boy I've ever known. But it is what it is, people grow, they change their standards, and when they do, they sometimes forget who was there when they were little. Next boy/girl I will ever give all that love is gonna be my son/daughter (if I'll ever have one). I don't regret it, but stilI I will not commit the same mistake again and I will think more about myself. So no, this comment didn't age very well hahah. Thanks for your reply, I totally forgot about my comment in this video (and to be honest I totally forgot this song even existed).
Teenagers can be very tricky, I’m pretty sure when he gets older and has a better understanding of life, he will remember who was there for him and his younger years. Trust me, they do come around as they get older. My daughter is 13 right now and barely will hug me, I basically have to beg for a hug. This breaks my heart because only three or four years ago this beautiful girl would grab onto me and hug me so hard that it would hurt. I miss those painful hugs, lol. But I have two older boys who are now 31 and 23 and, they do come around. That is what I can tell you from my wisdom and I just have to have faith that my daughter will also come around and back to her beautiful loving self towards me. Everybody just keep saying “it’s the age” but that does not minimize or help my pain and my heart because I miss my beautiful, sweet, loving little girl. But I have to have phase, and you should also, that they will come around and they will know who is always there for them and who did their best to love and care for them. hang in there, peace and love always❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹
Faith, not phase…
I have a friend
She used to be a source of happiness to everyone she meets
Then her father died few years ago and it seemed like the light in her life disappeared
Since then she became so depressed and from time to time she'll talk about how she want to be with her father and I am scared that she well actually do it..
I cried listening to this because I am scared she'll go away..I am scared that her light well never come back
She is a very good girl who never hurt anyone or done anything wrong..she deserve better than this but I don't know what can I do for her..I feel helpless
I love her and I hate myself for not being able to help..
I just want her to be happy
I hope you are still there for her too. Part of enjoying other peoples light is that some times they need to enjoy your light too.
@@357Dejavu Beautiful words.
Your comment made me cry, i hope shes okay
Pray for her. I am in the same situation like her 😑 and this is her only chance find peace in future 🙂
Understand this: when a loved one dies, a part of you dies with them. That's "the light that goes out" as you describe it. This part is lost forever and it changes you. There is no fix for grief, only coping with it. You can be happy again, but "you" are not the same "you". Ever. Again. In that sense, you'll never really see your friend again.
On a more constructive note, it is still possible to be happy. Life can be rebuilt, as long as you understand that the past cannot be recreated.
But the lyrics in this song "I don't want you to change" is just wishful thinking.
I've lost all my friends and everything that was good in my life and now I'm living in a regretful and lonely life. These lyrics really got to me
Pudding Brain I’m very sorry! I hope you find new things in this life. Unfortunately pain is part of this life.
I hear you and relate to tour experience. I, too, lost all family and just about every friend. The struggle to find serenity, peace and gentle compassion is totally worth the quest - from Mind to Heart. Believing in and accepting help from others centered me, at first. Now what centers me is Service to Others. If you can hang in until this moment…when we are free to help others shine, help those who struggle still…then we become free. Please keep a good thought in your heart.
. So geht es mir auch, total isoliert, vnv Nation tröstet mich wie schon so lange, würde gern etwas mit meinem bisschen Energie zurückgeben. Es ist unfassbar, was hier und in der Szene passiert ist. Doch wir Menschen mit Herz können trotz der vielen Einschränkungen etwas bewegen. Everything counts ❤
@@telepathybert642
Ich bin 20 Jahre vnv Nation Fan und befinde mich auch in einer Isolation seit letztem Jahr. Ich würde gern mehr von dir erfahren, wie du zu deinem Weg gefunden hast, aber nur wenn du möchtest. Ich hoffe, ich bin dir nicht zu nahe getreten. LG
This song just hit me right in the feels.
Every single time...
I simple love it...
And its so true..
This....song makes me cry......cause of someone's death...... If it ever happen I would cry for days........is cry all we.....can do....?
So true!!
I heard this song about a week after my daughter left this world. I sink into another world everytime i hear it! BEAUTIFULLY HAUNTING!
She's doing just fine, she has no worries. You'll both see each again Lisa.
😥 I really hope she's in haven...
This was played at my son's memorial. It's the only song I listen to now.
I love you and your baby 🙏🙏
I'm glad you are here💯💯💯💯
I’m truly sorry for your loss & pain 💔
I just spent 4 days in BHU w/ others who think about leaving & this song resonates & gives so much hope❤️🩹💔❤️🩹
I made the mistake of listening to this in public once. I had to shut it off like twenty five seconds in because I was starting to tear up and I didn't want to cry in front of a bunch of strangers.
i understand you. :')
T.T
I wonder how many strangers feel the exact same way...
@@4amcuriosity162 well, you can include me in the number of "strangers that feel the exact same way"... I tried quite hard, but i just cannot listen this song without crying...
I do understand. Doesn't feel like this song was made for you? Or is that just me?
This is a song that should get way more attention than it did. Everyone can relate to this song in some way.
Achived. It has been used for the credits of the game Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice.
"Is all that we see or seem, but a dream within a dream?" That part of Edgar Allen Poe's poem stuck with me ever since I read that at age 7. At 35 years old now, hearing this blows my mind and further empowers my own thoughts regarding mental health issues and spirituality. This is absolutely what I needed to hear tonight. I don't remember the last time a song provoked so much thought, brought up so many past memories/emotions and challenged me in this way. May VNV Nation continue to produce quality music like this for many years to come!
This song really hits hard.. I used to listen to this in my teenager years and I remembeeed it right now. Went to sing a long and just started crying. Truly amazing lyrics
my sister showed me this song a few years ago, today we dont talk anymore but i'm still thinking about her. i miss her and i hope shes doing alright..
This song literally saved my life
Ouh.... ¿Really...?
I listened to this 7 or 8 times in a row and I'm still not sick of it.
I listened to this song at like 12 and cried to it bc in my head the words related. I always have felt like an outcast
I have bad depression and suicidal thoughts and every time I hear this I just cry
do Reiki
Please be strong ya
@missing no to someone with deppression this hit like a rock
I lost my love, my soul mate to the lies and illusions of capitalism...she was love, she was amazing. Now shes homeless somewhere during the APOCALYPSE with arrest warrants for committing abuse and violence against our children. She loaded a syringe into an empty chamber and blew her soul away. FUCK DRUGS.
I hope ur ok 🤗🤗🤗
The first time my daughter heard this song in the car, she started bawling. I was taking my kids to their mother's house for her parenting time, and my daughter heard the "please don't go, I want you to stay" line, and just lost it....but silently. I didn't know anything was wrong until we got there. It took some prodding, but when I finally got her to tell me what was wrong....I lost it, too. Right there in my ex-wife's house. And then trying to explain to my ex why we were both crying required me to repeat the lyrics, and it set me off again. Right there in front of my ex. And I didn't care, because it really sums up my feelings toward my kids and I'm going to shut up now because i can't see the screen anymore because of the damned tears
Your comment is deeply beautiful.
+Ryan Thomason If u need anything im here for you, I may not know what ur feeling but my parents are going through this kinda situation and I know how ur daughter feels...so if she or u needs anything im here for you. :) stay strong
***** he hasnt told why they were crying tho so how can u say they dont relate :/
+IcePanda The lyrics are what you make of them. Just as with any good art, there can be as many interpretations as there people listening. My daughter (10 years old) heard one part of the lyrics, and identified with that part. That is all that mattered at that time, and it's all that needed to matter. The song was already powerful for me for a variety of reasons (including my own past struggles with depression and suicidal ideation, as well as my own work history is the mental health field). It now has more meaning for me, because of the meaning attached to it by my daughter. There is no wrong meaning to it if someone derives meaning from it. It is, and should always be, a personal thing, plain and simple. That's the way art of any kind works.
Ryan Thomason i couldnt have said it better myself :) have a great day sir 😊 stay strong 💜
I lost my husband on December 30th 2014. Almost a year to the day later, my cat, who I had for 20 years, passed away. Now my father is dying. I have suffered from mental illness all my life. Finally I underwent ECT. But I found that you can't even shock the pain out of yourself. It is with you forever, no matter what you do.
im srry
You're most kind.
+DemelzaP hope you feel better now. feel sorry to hear about that. :')
Most kind.
+DemelzaP carry on.
Every day I wake up I put a mask on. A happyness mask. I put it on because it's easier than having to talk about whats on my mind. I wake up and wish I was someone else. Not any real people. A person I made up in my mind. He's smarter than me. Better looking than me. More charasmatic than me. Funnier than me. Stronger than me, physically and mentally. everyone likes him except the "bad people." He's a hero. He is everything I wish I could be.
And he wishes to be just like you, the better version of him.
Britton Caldwell this is me....fuck
We all do buddy but you're the real deal so stay strong and focus on the positive things in life. Believe me, no one is happy all the time.
My ex wife left me for another man a woman who helped me through allot of hard times someone who helped me through suicide multiple times and promised to be there for me forever this was my song to her but she still left forcing me to do just what you are. I have a girlfriend that cares and wants to help but I refuse to I just wake up and put on a mask of happiness. I feel like no matter who it is everyone will eventually betray you so I had within myself and if been through therapy no therapist truly understand and they way they talk to toy feels so cold and condescending to me. Anyway I'm gonna shut up boo one wants to hear my cry baby boo hoo whoa is me bullshit.
i am kinda the same as you... i did not loose my wife, how, i am only 18 but i lost a few friends, to drugs or accidents. noone really understands me and they are just loke go to a therapist and hell help ya... but no they can't. i am a "Young" man but noone really knows how broken i am. I do not know how to survive my life and still i keep on fighting! I got a broken shoulder and can not do Sports that much but it is smting i love most besides singing. we all got our masks and behind that we go up and down BUT we keep on going! i wanna encourage you to stay with us and make the world a better place. we all here got something bad and share and People take it serious so spread this out and give your best, no matter what happens!!!
When I've heard this song, it reminded me of a dream I had. In it, someone told to never forget who I am. In this song, it talks about the same thing. To not let anything change you, society's media showing what beauty means being anorexic and many other things. Well...I am not going to change to their horrible norms and neither should you.
Best song ever.
I cry every time I hear this. :c
CharlotteGuinea Ditto
That much :')
I can understand that
CharlotteGuinea same
CharlotteGuinea thank i started crying when i saw this 😥😥😥👍
Rip Sophie Lancaster 🌹
This is some of the best ever songs in this world...❤
Just confirms that I hide in my home, and live the same day, over and over....waiting until it is time for bed. Long days, boring life....same day over and over, I live.
Adrienne Bebow we love you your not alone like that'
In the end you will find your happens...remember that.
Pray to jehova always helps
Me too for 17 years now unable to find My Mrs right. I tried to end my life numerous times and I failed at all attempts. I cry too much lately and wish I could find LOVE but I can't so I just self medicate with my painkillers and whiskey or beer if I am able to get whiskey.
@@jacobluechtefeld5421
I understand what u mean. But ur life is not for a woman or an person. Im alone 2 but on my own decision. Sometimes its hard but I find sense in my life . I study the bibel and this makes me feel better. God is love. We have to love god in 1 place . Go on!
I've heard this song many times, but when I was 14, my mother walked in while I was listening to it and told me she had cancer. It's not the same song to me anymore. I have this to remember that moment by though.
James Floyd I agree. seems this song only pops up when I have lost some one or have as I watch them slowly wither away...
Is your mom ok?
I don't know why, but this reminds me of an old friend I had when I was younger. We were best buds, and he and I spent almost too MUCH time together. He went away though. I found out later, he ended up dying. I don't know why, or how. The song kind of makes me happy though, because it makes me think of him, and the friend I have now who always reminds me of him. There's a lot of good memories in this song. Is that weird it makes me happy? It's like tears of joy, does anyone else get that vibe?
VNV Nation is life.
Makes me think of the person I can't have...
It doesn't matter how happy I'm. This song will make me painfully cry in a matter that feel like I'm crying for my mother's funeral.
+daniela baya same in a way..this was one of my moms favorite songs she too passed away not long ago.
my new bff encouraged me to find this song. She was telling me how much it means to her. I'm sitting here crying my eyes out listening to this only thinking of her. She is the world to me
This song is awesome on so many levels. Lyrically deep, musically rich. It should be known around the world but seems like it isn't. I've heard it probably a couple of hundred times now and felt moved every time. Music the way it should be.
This song has quite literally saved my life
The lyrics in this song, pretty much sums up what & how I feel from time to time! It's a wonderful song, but it's tearing me apart everytime I hear it!
Man, I just discovered this song. How heart-touching.
I listened to this vnv song (and others) so often when i was just together with the biggest love of my life, and i miss her each and every day since she left
First time i heard this song.. i felt as if i was ready to give up. I'd lost the most important person in my life and i wanted to just give up... another friend of mine sent this song to me..
Then make it famous! Let's share this beautiful song with the rest of the world :)
It was dedicated to my 3 year old twins during one of their concerts my brother attended.
I will forever be grateful for his words and for showing me a song I had never heard but.....
I’m like your daughter now. I cry every time I listen. It’s beautiful and perfect
"the sun was born and so it shall die so only shadows comfort me."
most people seek comfort in the light unable to see and there for fear what lay in the darkness beyond.
but very few tread in that darkness and find comfort and peace. the beauty of the night. of what lies underneath.
truly a deep song packed in a beautiful melancholic melody - sometimes I think and feel that this world is just an illusion - thank you VNV Nation for this musical delight
Just finished Hellblade Senua's Sacrifice and then come here. Great game, great music.
@@Lolllllllllllllllllllll same
My dad is a pillar in my family which numbers over 500. My grandmother and grandfather expect me to take his place when they and he have gone. Despite it being in the future, this song is my memory of what will pass and personifies my dad asking me to remain strong to our family, to follow in his footsteps, to not show the tears so others will come to me for comfort. This is my dad's message to me.
Incredibly beautiful words. Thank you.
When I have schizophrenic episodes I listen to this to calm myself down and bring myself back to reality.
This world is messed up, but it doesn't have to mess YOU up💯🙏
Shit can be confusing at times. Take a second to breath if you're reading this and are upset❤️❤️❤️❤️
Bless you
The only song that make me cry even when I’m happy 🖤😔
Loved the game. Love the song. Got so involved in the game that I've been crying all through the credits.
This is the best song ever 🥺❤
A song for Walk-ins. If you are one, you will feel it. It gives me goosebumps everytime. This is so on point how it feels to be in another body.
I can't listen to this without crying. Just can't.
Senua's Sacrifice bought me here...
Still vibing in 2021..anyone else?
This song consoles me every time that I feel terrible. Maybe this is stupid, but it's like this song was made for me and he's singing to me.
HELLBLADE BROUGHT ME HERE! ♡
all too.... im crying right now :( the mixture between the song and the end it's so sad :(
El canal del Chelito omg yes the ending is so amazing I love this song so much i heared it in the game and had to look it up ♡♡♡♡♡
This world is just illusion!
Diego Andres true
Everything is energy
This song is saving me atm, after one of my best friend's death...
La première fois que j'écoute cela, j'ai pleuré parce que je perdais une de mes tantes et de ma grand-mère et je ne savais pas quoi penser, alors j'ai essayé de me blesser de plusieurs façons, je ne pensais pas appartenir Mal à bien des égards, j'ai eu une fille avec qui j'étais et elle m'a dit que je vaut plus que ce que je savais que je me suis rendu compte que j'étais aimé par beaucoup sans eux je ne serais pas là aujourd'hui, donc merci, je l'apprécie tous les morts Je sais que je ne suis pas parfait en aucune façon et que j'ai été éliminé en 2013, le bébé papa ne se souciait pas, mais quand je devais donner à mon enfant une vie meilleure parce que je ne voulais pas qu'elle ait la vie que j'avais un Parce que je savais que ma fille avait besoin de plus que je pourrais lui donner, elle avait besoin de ce qui était le mieux, j'ai pleuré parce que je l'ai abandonné pour adoption mais j'ai fait ce qui était le mieux pour mon enfant, ma famille ne m'aime pas Mais j'ai fait ce qui était juste pour mon enfant. J'adore profondément mon enfant et je l'ai beaucoup sentie profondément.
Beautiful music & deep lyrics... Bravo VNV NATION!!
Vnv Nation is half the reason I got through 2 years in Prison!
His lyrics are Amazing.
One of the greatest songs ever
Purity...embodied here. We're hallowed to perceive it. Amen.
Ich weiss nicht,wer Ihr seid....aber Ihr seid der Hammer. Danke. Ihr habt mich gerettet. Danke.
its been a week since my friend recommended it to me, and not a day has gone without listening to it. i hope this song changes the lives of who are lost.
I listen to this every night
Feels like the song is speaking right to me... I should listen to this more often
After all these years, I still can't listen to this without crying.
cry every time
Me too 😭 ;-; (Undertale Fan XP)
Me too and I am a furry and otaku and fan of many things ^^
+Grovajl ayy furry buddy! :D

Me too, this music is very cool and sad!
Senua's sacrifice best song ever in a video-game
I needed to hear this…reminder of how the world works…God bless you all…this is a hard journey but we can’t give up
this song makes me cry every single time!!! Love it
This song fit Hellblade's end perfectly
I don't' have anyone left to lose in my life. This song just made me remember all those I had lost, I wish I could cry now, but unfortunately those who I've lost stop me from crying. I guess this is what it means being "stoic"
I know exactly how you feel brother :(
I truly love this song!
and if you guys like this song, you should check out the whole album, as well as their other albums theyre all quite excellent.
Funny how I actually understand the meaning of this song now that I'm 23.
This song is make me cry
Incredible lyrics and overall amazing song...
It’s just beautiful 💜🙏x
I really like this song..
If Only A friend of mine who suffered from depression among other problems could of had the chance to hear this song before commiting suicide who knows it may or may not have changed her thoughts around, But we will never know. now that it's to late. She had taken her life :( Very Saddened by the loss of A beautiful soul.
Richard Yano I'm so sorry. 😢 You are in my thoughts.
Y después de algún tiempo, vuelvo a llorar con esta canción. Pero es tan hermosa.
trae muchos recuerdos :c
+Vanessa Italia Cierto, buenos y malos.
