Description
Sometimes love is not a feeling, but a trick. Everything seems real: the applause, the glamour, the words, the hands that seem to hold you tight. But as soon as the light changes angle, the person disappears into the mist, leaving behind only a trail of unspoken words. An illusion, subtle and beautiful, like a card trick, where the viewer doesn't even realise when they were deceived.
The world spins, questions swarm in your head, but there are still no answers. Your heart is still searching, your mind is already tired, and all that remains is to stare into the emptiness of the stage where someone was standing just a moment ago. The magic has dissolved, the applause has died down, and the aftertaste is one of fog and electricity. Love, it turns out, can be an excellent illusionist.

Lyrics and translation
Original
ik voel de ogen van een ander om jou heen.
Al langer het gevoel alsof iets niet klopt.
Iemand zei dat jij hem al langer kent.
Maar jij zei tegen mij dat dat niet waar was.
Oeh baby, kon het beter, voel me vreemd van wat ik was.
Ik was altijd zo zeker in mijn leven. Totdat ik jou die avond zag. Oeh, mijn mind is getwisted.
Ik dacht me vergis in je. Nu spoken de vragen in mijn hoofd. Oeh girl.
Net een illusionist, girl. Ik dacht dat je met mij was in dit.
Toen jij verdween in de mist, girl. Heb jij me beroofd van wat ik wist.
Net een illusionist, girl. Oeh, ik dacht dat je met mij was in dit, maar nu word ik gek van jou.
Elke keer, -want het is telkens weer diezelfde shit. -Telkens weer diezelfde shit.
Ik voel de ogen van de duivel kijken mee.
En niemand om mij heen die hoort mijn stem.
Een man die eens gewaarschuwd werd voor twee.
Maar ik was blindelings te gevangen om mij jee jee jee jee jee.
Oeh baby, kon het beter.
Voel me vreemd van wat ik was.
Ik was altijd zo zeker in mijn leven. Totdat ik jou die avond zag. Oeh, mijn mind is getwisted.
Ik dacht me vergis in je. Nu spoken de vragen in mijn hoofd. Oeh girl.
Net een illusionist, girl. Ik dacht dat je met mij was in dit.
Toen jij verdween in de mist, girl. Heb jij me beroofd van wat ik wist.
Net een illusionist, girl.
Oeh, ik dacht dat je met mij was in dit, maar nu word ik gek van jou. Elke keer, want het is telkens weer diezelfde shit.
Telkens weer diezelfde shit.
net een illusionist, girl. Ik dacht dat je met mij was in dit.
Toen jij verdween in de mist, girl. Heb jij me beroofd van wat ik wist.
Net een illusionist, girl. Ik dacht dat je met mij was in dit, maar nu word ik gek van jou.
Elke keer, want het is telkens weer diezelfde shit.
English translation
I feel the eyes of someone else around you.
I've had the feeling for some time as if something isn't right.
Someone said you've known him for a while.
But you told me that wasn't true.
Ooh baby, could it be better, feel strange from what I was.
I was always so confident in my life. Until I saw you that night. Ooh, my mind is twisted.
I thought I was wrong about you. Now the questions are running through my head. Ooh girl.
Like an illusionist, girl. I thought you were with me on this.
When you disappeared into the mist, girl. Did you rob me of what I knew?
Like an illusionist, girl. Ooh, I thought you were with me on this, but now you're driving me crazy.
Every time, -because it's the same shit over and over again. -The same shit over and over again.
I feel the eyes of the devil watching.
And no one around me hears my voice.
A man who was once warned about two.
But I was blindly too caught up in me jee jee jee jee jee.
Ooh baby, it could be better.
Feel strange from what I was.
I was always so confident in my life. Until I saw you that night. Ooh, my mind is twisted.
I thought I was wrong about you. Now the questions are running through my head. Ooh girl.
Like an illusionist, girl. I thought you were with me on this.
When you disappeared into the mist, girl. Did you rob me of what I knew?
Like an illusionist, girl.
Ooh, I thought you were with me on this, but now you're driving me crazy. Every time, because it's the same shit over and over again.
The same shit over and over again.
just like an illusionist, girl. I thought you were with me on this.
When you disappeared into the mist, girl. Did you rob me of what I knew?
Like an illusionist, girl. I thought you were with me on this, but now you're driving me crazy.
Every time, because it's the same shit over and over again.
