Written while listening to Bon Ivers' For Emma, Forever Ago
I'd imagine it with a similar tune：


Great Delusion

By：Yisselakh

Verse 1：

I tried standing in the rain
Like an indie movie scene
Even cliches have their meaning
As the film grain begins melting
Did you also think
Sink in that wishful thinking
Our great delusion

Chorus 1：

That if things had been
What they could have been
We would have been
Ceaselessly happy
Happy
Happy

Verse 2：

Now think
What would we have been
Seeking
If that mundane
Had been the state of things

Bridge:

Would you think
Would you think
Would you think
Then

Chorus 2：

That if things hadn't been
What they would have been
We would have been
Boundlessly Happy
Happy
Happy


CODA：

That's our Great Delusion
So probably it's better to let it be
That regret silently gnawing
Let's not rush back in
Shattering that good old dream
And leave us nothing
Nothing
Nothing
But the Great Numbing
Of the loss of wishful thinking

That we could have been
Happy, happy, happy
