Delusional

Simon Curtis's song 'Delusional' is a powerful anthem about overcoming deceit and betrayal. The lyrics reflect a journey of self-realization and empowerment, as the protagonist confronts those who have tried to manipulate and undermine him. The opening lines, 'Here's to all the people who've been trying to keep me down / Got their fingers in my collar trying to turn me all around,' set the stage for a narrative of resistance against those who pretend to support him while secretly wishing for his downfall. This duality is further emphasized with the lines, 'Try to push me to the ground then say they love me to my face,' highlighting the hypocrisy and falsehoods he faces.

The chorus, 'I'm feeling all the heat, they're gonna hear my call / Now I can wait to see you lose it all,' signifies a turning point where the protagonist gains confidence and anticipates the downfall of his detractors. The repeated assertion, 'I can't believe you're so delusional,' serves as a direct confrontation to those who underestimate him, revealing their misguided perceptions and the protagonist's clarity about his own worth and potential. This theme of self-empowerment is a common thread in Simon Curtis's music, often characterized by its bold and unapologetic tone.

In the latter part of the song, Curtis addresses the issue of originality and authenticity in art with the lines, 'Now I know you're gonna try to say I stole this verse from Tim', / but there's a firestarter out there and I'm sure he stole from him first.' This not only defends his creative integrity but also critiques the cyclical nature of accusations and the lack of genuine support in the industry. The song ultimately serves as a declaration of independence and resilience, encouraging listeners to see through deception and stand firm in their truth.
