Poets of the Fall - Illusion and Dream Meaning
Illusion and Dream Lyrics
We're drifting aimlessly
Blind in a world of make believe
Hear them sing their songs off key n' nod like they agree
Buying the needs to be discreet
I've got no hand in matters worldly
I hardly...

As far as Illusion and Dream goes......this one is tricky. I think it basically is about a guy living in a world of false advertising, dishonesty, scams, fantasies, etc. And none of it means anything to him, only what is true and non-fabricated (in other words, the simple things in life). The lyrics are him trying to make you "see" the falsehoods of the world we live in. Pay close attention to this part of the song:
"So can you name your demon?
Understand its scheming
I raise my glass and say "here's to you"
Can you chase your demon?
Or will it take your freedom?
I raise my class and say "here's to you"
He's asking if you realize what you are doing, the things you do during your life that are worthless, sinful, or materialistic. If you can rid your lifestyle of such things, then he raises his glass in honor. It's hard to rid your life of such things, and I think the lyrics are trying to prove a point about our world today, that much of it is materialism and fantasies.
