Ilusão

In 'Ilusão,' Banda AR 15 delves into the bittersweet experience of love that transforms into disillusionment. The song opens with a nostalgic reflection on perfect moments and promises of love that were once cherished but have since faded with time. The lyrics capture the universal experience of holding onto memories through photographs, only to realize that time has a way of erasing even the most vivid recollections. The singer's attempt to reconnect by calling an old flame, only to be met with silence, underscores the painful reality of a love that has turned into an illusion.

The chorus poignantly asks, 'Quem nunca viveu um amor que, depois, virou ilusão?' (Who has never lived a love that later turned into an illusion?), highlighting the commonality of this experience. The song suggests that the promises of eternal love often become what we now call illusions. The repetition of the phrase 'virou ilusão' (turned into an illusion) emphasizes the inevitability of this transformation, as if the heart itself acknowledges the change, even if the mind resists.

As the song progresses, it becomes clear that both parties are struggling with the remnants of their past relationship. The singer advises to erase the painful memories if they bring too much sorrow, indicating a desire to move on. The decision not to answer a call from the former lover signifies a turning point, a moment of choosing self-preservation over reopening old wounds. 'Ilusão' captures the essence of love's ephemeral nature and the emotional journey from enchantment to disillusionment, resonating deeply with anyone who has experienced the highs and lows of romantic relationships.
