Disillusion Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Changing, moving in a circle
I can see your face in all of my dreams
Smiling, laughing from the shadows
When I hear your voice I know what it means
I know it doesn't matter just how hard I try
You're all the reason for my life
[Chorus]
Disillusion, disillusion's all you left for me
How can I forget you when my world is breaking down?
You're all I had, you're all I want
Disillusion, disillusions now, that's all I have
[Verse 2]
Wishing, hoping, chasing shadows
Did I see your face somewhere in the crowd?
Thinking, wondering, what you're doing
I can't stop myself from crying out loud
They say my wound will heal and only leave a scar
But then, they'd never shared our love
[Chorus]
Disillusion, disillusion's all you left for me
How can I forget you when my world is breaking down?
You're all I had, you're all I want
Disillusion, disillusions now, that's all I have
Changing, moving in a circle
I can see your face in all of my dreams
Smiling, laughing from the shadows
When I hear your voice I know what it means
I know it doesn't matter just how hard I try
You're all the reason for my life
[Chorus]
Disillusion, disillusion's all you left for me
How can I forget you when my world is breaking down?
You're all I had, you're all I want
Disillusion, disillusions now, that's all I have
[Verse 2]
Wishing, hoping, chasing shadows
Did I see your face somewhere in the crowd?
Thinking, wondering, what you're doing
I can't stop myself from crying out loud
They say my wound will heal and only leave a scar
But then, they'd never shared our love
[Chorus]
Disillusion, disillusion's all you left for me
How can I forget you when my world is breaking down?
You're all I had, you're all I want
Disillusion, disillusions now, that's all I have
[Outro]
Disillusion, disillusions now, that's all I have
Disillusion, disillusions now, that's all I have
About
This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation
Although she wrote several Swedish top 40 hits during her solo career, Fältskog did not feel her compositions were suitable for ABBA’s albums. However, although this is her only songwriting credit to appear on an ABBA album, she also co-wrote a song that ABBA performed in concert, “I’m Still Alive”; recordings of this often appears in bootlegs. The song itself is a folk-pop based ballad somewhat similar to her pre-ABBA solo work.
