Skyharbor - Illusion: Maeva Lyrics






Alice making me pay with temptation
I stray far from wonderland to a place of war
White rabbit suggests that I take a few pills
And drink some shit that I've never even seen before

Fields of green and hearts of stone surrounding me
Make for glorious undertones
A pack of cards thrown in my hand
Forgiving castle walls just turn to sand

Are you following me as I try to explain?
Mad Hatter is here, messing with my brain
Are you curious now? Dis-functioning in the clouds
I spent far too long milling in this drain

Fields of green and hearts of stone surrounding me
Make for glorious undertones
A pack of cards thrown in my hand
Forgiving castle walls just turn to sand

Don't lose the fight and look back
It's time to dance
We're alive, come together and you'll know this is India!
It's so damn hard to let go
But take a chance
And survive, come together, embrace life this is India!

Holding out a hand hoping I'll believe her, that I'll understand
Tell me isn't this the truth, choosing to ignore her, what if it was you?
Tell me how do we get so wrapped up in our own world?
Kill all the lights, this is the last time
This is the last time everything is grey
Everything is grey, everything is grey
And you know they got us on the run, killing as life goes on
Same old story, yeah? Same old story

I can't find myself, I'm sure I live for something but as
My minds eye will tell these little fingers are disgusting not by choice
I'll think of something but I'll save some for myself
Boys don't believe, don't believe, don't believe it
Think about, think about, think about it
Don't believe, don't believe
Be careful what you say because anyone could be listening

    still here missing skyharbor with Dan

  9. C.... J....

    The beautiful arrangement starting at 3:30 is excellent, then Dan's vocals come in and make it that much better.

  10. A.... ....

    Awesome song... shame the record label have uploaded it via toaster...

    A.... ....

    Toasty-hot enough for you? People forget that technology was different 6 years ago :)

    A.... ....

    BASICK RECORDS touché

  11. J.... T....

    2:59 Kinda sounds like the intro to Allure.

  12. P.... ....

    4:46 oh.my.god.

  13. R.... M....

    This song ROCKS! One of my favs as well.

  14. I.... n....

    That chorus, i can feel India in my ears, thanks <3

  15. F.... R....

    Hell Yeah I love the middle section with the jazz change and the intensity keeps building! Thanks Skyharbor for stepping up the game.

  16. h.... ....

    "Unretrofied" by The Dillinger Escape Plan.

  17. R.... O....

    4:45 has got to be one of the most epic "I can feel what he's feeling" moments in all my years of music enjoyment.

  18. g.... ....

    Dat last vocal line. 

  19. H.... P....

    Maeva means welcome in the polynesian culture. You honour us by using this word for the title of this song.. Faa ito ito.

  20. A.... 6....

    This is one of my favorites of the album. It's so fucking godly.

    A.... 6....

    ArcFlash 64 Its my favorite. Such a great band.

  21. E.... ....

    Ladies and Gentlemen, i present to you one of the most promising and talented bands i have ever heard, amazing music guys, keep it up!

    E.... ....

    AAAAAND it's ruined.

    E.... ....

    Yeah. Unfortunately they lost their lead singer and their drummer. They have got replacements but I feel like the ‘magic’ is gone.

  22. M.... T....

    the 11 dislikes must have been trying to book last minute flights out of Phoenix...

    M.... T....

    @Mark Tarr so funny you say that... I was listening to this song while departing from sky harbor in phoenix. no dislikes though. this song is my mother fuckin jam

    M.... T....

    @Pierce Holveck Good one! I was listening to this album (when it first came out) on a flight to Phoenix to see some friends, but at the time I had no idea that was the name of the airport. Definitely one of those "WTF" moments when I found out...

  23. C.... A....

    Ive listened to all the songs and i really cant get use to vocals, its mixed weird and just to me, doesn't sound good, but everyone seems to love it so ill give it another try but the instrumentals are outstanding

    C.... A....

    go buy some ears for your skull #laugh

    C.... A....

    @Crimson Armada  to each his own, I personally love the vocals, but its one of those things you'll either love or hate

    C.... A....

    thats what I love about it.. it's advanced or "progressive" as is their genre.. probably the most brilliantly done use of djent and progressive out right now. I am truly blown away by this amazing band.

    C.... A....

    Daniel has some of the best vocals in music.  But to each their own.  Great album and their new one should be no different.

  24. H.... H....

    BasickRecords, can you answer this question for me? Is this a concept album?? If it's so... What is the topic about? I love concept albums and this seems like one :P

  25. a.... ....

    does anyone know if this is the old tesseract singer, it sounds ALOT like him

    a.... ....

    Yes,it's Daniel Tompkins.

    a.... ....

    It says right on the video. Daniel Tompkins, ex-Tesseract (Which is no longer accurate).

  26. C.... S....

    As an indian, I just love the lyrics of this song. Mind blown. xD

  27. T.... ....

    You're goddamn right I do.

  28. M.... M....

    you have my new favorite username of all time.

  29. T.... ....

    You're getting confused with Spencer Sotelo.

  30. B.... P....

    he really does have the Midas touch

  31. I.... ....

    My love for Tesseract went down alot with their new singer. The dude takes all power away from the songs..weakens them considerably compared to what Daniel Tompkins did in that band.

  32. D.... K....

    absolutely beautiful

  33. S.... T....

    This is the new page of SkyHarbor ! >>> facebook.com/pages/Skyharbor/1421184131429538 .

  34. f.... s....

    put that on ur moms resume

  35. m.... ....

    put that on your resume.

  36. m.... ....

    I am completely devastated by your wit and completely original sense of humor.

  37. f.... d....

    Daniel Tompkins is a fucking alien

  38. T.... ....

    God this is gorgeous

  39. N.... L....

    It's the first time I'm listening this band. But in my opinion still needs to improve the recording, because the voice is lost in the instrumental, which makes the music a bit messy. But sounds good in general :) Cheers

  40. f.... s....

    ur moms throat and jaw hurts

  41. j.... ....

    based on this song i need to a) listen to the rest of the album, b) go listen to the tesseract album with this guy singing.

    incidentally give it a rest with the weird race-fetishising thing, nerds.

  42. Z.... A....

    2:45 - Facebook Message. What the thug?

  43. m.... d....

    Dan Tompkins - take a bow!

  44. s.... ....

    How did u go?

  45. I.... M....

    Amazed!

  46. y.... ....

    Trust me man, it's worth completing that list ;)

  47. M.... W....

    did you top it all off?

  48. L.... M....

    Daniel Tompkins is English, so if you find a Half Indian, Half English girl, you'll be fine :)

  49. r.... ....

    Fucking beautiful guys.

  50. S.... M....

    *__* I am in awe of the epicness of this song..

  51. C.... ....

    Legally there's no difference, but as an experience they're definitely different. Psychedelics have spiritual value to them, synthetic opiates do not. Psychedelics also don't corrupt you, even as much as alcohol does. Though I'm not recommending excessive use, whether it's psychedelics or alcohol or anything else.

    I do psychedelics and I can tell they boost your creativity. I don't know if Daniel does drugs (or if he even wrote the lyrics), but does it really matter? Guy's a great singer.

  52. s.... ....

    1:40-2:40 dat melody :D

  53. m.... ....

    Evidently.

  54. T.... ....

    One does not simply sing like Daniel Tompkins.

  55. a.... ....

    The fuck? No there's not. I'm not against drugs, but sorry you're wrong.

  56. m.... ....

    I don't know man, I was baked.

  57. A.... ....

    There's a difference from "drugs" and psychedelics

  58. m.... ....

    Daniel Tompkins definitely doesn't do drugs, that's why these lyrics make perfect sense.

  59. D.... M....

    I have :p at the lamb of god gig in b'lore..... Theyre amazing...

  60. M.... ....

    Keshav Dhar guitar works are awesome

  61. k.... c....

    nail it lol

  62. S.... ....

    Want free music look at my channel

  63. m.... ....

    My jaw and throat hurts after attempting to sing this song. Honestly, Daniel Tompkins, what the fuck man.

  64. a.... ....

    And alongside Priya Rai, try Sunny Leone as well (despite the English name, she's full Indian).

  65. M.... D....

    Google Image - Priya Rai. that'll have to do for now.

  66. D.... ....

    Rolling Stones picked this song as one of their favorites of 2012, and I am not fucking surprised.

  67. m.... ....

    Anup Sastry, the drummer, is of Indian origin but American. But yes, practically Indian, and Dan goes well, because there's a lot of Indian classical influence in his voice, that's quite evident in his music.

  68. S.... P....

    i really want to see them perform live O.O

  69. a.... ....

    How about a triple with Jeff Loomis on board? :D

  70. O.... P....

    I checked this band because Marty Friedman is featured in their album. All of you guys rock. I don't even care which part of which song is played by Marty anymore. The music is wonderful.

  71. m.... ....

    I'm pretty sure he's American.

  72. m.... ....

    They're talking about the drummer, who is an Indian racially, but is American born and raised.

  73. S.... ....

    the man on the guitar is from india, and he is insane

  74. M.... W....

    He IS American, and not an NRI.

  75. D.... ....

    what is this white thing coming out of my ears.. eew its kinda sticky..
    oh.... i think my ears just came.

  76. S.... K....

    to get your answer, check out the comment of bacon7861.

  77. T.... M....

    wanna see a tour with them and intervals so anup can drum two full sets :)

  78. V.... B....

    Frown Buck he is nri not american

  79. m.... ....

    Anup (the drummer) is of Indian descent, but I believe he's American.

  80. m.... ....

    Illusion is one of the best things to happen to metal in a while.

  81. G.... ....

    This has a such a clean feel. Impeccable instrumentation and vocals, not regretting buying this.

  82. L.... M....

    Daniel Tompkins is the best vocalist, ever.

  83. A.... T....

    Yeah !! Loved it !! Indi Rock

  84. M.... H....
