Kat Von D’s Illusion slithers through the speakers, a slinky synthwave serpent coiling around the listener’s psyche.
This track, plucked from her upcoming album “My Side of the Mountain,” doesn’t just flirt with darkness; it slow dances with it under a disco ball moon.
Kat Von D’s voice floats like smoke, carrying lyrics that drip with the lingering ache of a love gone sour.
The song’s pulsing electronic heartbeat echoes the stubborn persistence of feelings that refuse to fade, even when we know they should.
“Illusion” doesn’t just wallow, it struts and shimmers, a glittery shroud draped over raw emotion.
The contrast between the upbeat tempo and the melancholy lyrics creates a delicious tension, mirroring the cognitive dissonance of trying to move on while still haunted by the past.
The accompanying music video, set in Von D’s Indiana hometown, reads like a fever dream.
Lush fields become an unlikely stage for her signature gothic glamour.
It’s jarring, unexpected, and oddly perfect, much like falling in and out of love.
This track serves as both a warning and an invitation. It cautions against the intoxicating power of false promises while simultaneously seducing you into its swirling soundscape.
Kat Von D has crafted a tune that envelopes you inviting you to bask in its embrace

Kat Von D Illusion Lyrics
Oh, I hear the words that you say it cuts me like a knife
Until I die, I’ll be dancing alone under the neon light
I, I can’t wait
For the love that we had in this bed you were meant to stay
No baby, I, I can’t wait
For the love that you said you would give but then you take
Tell me oh, was it just an illusion
This heart you’ve been using
Tell me oh, was it just an illusion
Trapped in confusion
Just an illusion
Just an illusion, I know
Baby, I don’t wanna disrespect but there’s just nothing left
And still I cry, put a smile on this face but I’m still a mess
Oh I, I can’t wait
For the love that we had in this bed you were meant to stay
No baby, I, I can’t wait
For the love that you said you would give but then you take
You tell me oh, was it just an illusion
This heart you’ve been using
Tell me oh, was it just an illusion
Trapped in confusion
Just an illusion
Just an illusion, I know
Cause my heartbeat goes but it just won’t stop
When I’m locked away with your brittle heart
Tell me oh, was it just an illusion
Trapped in confusion
Just an illusion
Just an illusion, I know
Time won’t stop, falling apart
When I look back you’re gone
Maybe I’m wrong
Time won’t stop, falling apart
When I look back you’re gone
Maybe I’m wrong
It’s just an illusion
It’s just an illusion, I know
It’s just an illusion
It’s just an illusion, I know
