The Great Illusion | Upbeat Psychedelic Soul (Khruangbin x Altın Gün Vibes) by Okranova

What if the shadows on the wall are all we know? "The Great Illusion" is a paradox: An upbeat, 115 BPM Psychedelic Funk track designed to make you dance while you question the nature of reality. 🕺👁️

Inspired by Plato's Allegory of the Cave, this track blends eastern-influenced guitar riffs (reminiscent of Altin Gun and Khruangbin) with a driving, funky bassline. The music says "Party," but the lyrics say "Wake Up."

The Philosophy: We are actors on a stage, chasing paper money in a paper town. But remember: You don't have to sit on the dusty floor. The only thing real is the love inside.

Lyrics:

Living in a shadow on the cave wall Thinking that the shadow is the all-in-all Chasing paper money in a paper town Building up a kingdom just to tear it down We are wearing masks upon a painted face Running in circles in a rat race Everything you see is just a light trick Moving too slow or moving too quick

Oh, dancing in The Great Illusion! Finding peace in the confusion! It’s a beautiful lie, it’s a magic show Enjoy the ride and let it go!

Actors on the stage, we forgot the script Sailing on a sea where the boat has tipped Ego is a prison with an open door You don't have to sit there on the dusty floor Wake up from the dream while you’re wide awake How many more fake rules can you take? The only thing real is the love inside Everything else is just a bumpy ride!

Oh, dancing in The Great Illusion! Finding peace in the confusion! It’s a beautiful lie, it’s a magic show Enjoy the ride and let it go!

Just a show... Curtain call... Wake up.
