Disillusion is about that feeling we've all experienced at least once: having expectations about something, only to be deeply disappointed by the harshness of reality.
It teaches us not to rush into solutions that seem ideal and to show caution and restraint in order to move forward calmly in a world where haste has become the norm.

Into the Toxic Garden
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I wander in ethereal field
I can't remember how long I've been here
I don't know when I need to breathe or not
And now, I'm just feeling lost
[Chorus]
Into the toxic garden
You're walking by
Into the toxic garden
You're walking by
[Verse 2]
Now I'm falling in this endless hole
No light at the end of this tunnel
I don't know whether I will wake up
So please, take me up!
[Chorus] (×2)
Why God?
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Once I was lost
Questionning myself
About to get shot
Life was meaningless
Then an outstretched hand
Showed me the divine way
Showed me the divine way
But…
[Chorus]
Why God
Do I believe in you?
Why God
Do you need me to do
These painful things?
Wouldn't it make me sin?
Oh dear Lord,
Are my believes useful?
Dear Lord,
I feel like I'm getting fooled.
[Verse 2]
I come home late at night
With few recognition
My work pays well, alright
But it's a hard situation
I give my family a home
But I can't see them at all
But I can't see them at all
So…
[Chorus]
(Instrumental)
[Verse 3]
My brothers are falling down
Now, I must revenge them
But I cannot press my gun
After reading his wife's pain
In the eye of my ennemy
He's got a life, just like me
He's got a life, just like me
So…
[Chorus] (×2)

[Part 1]
[Verse 1]
I met my wife, two years ago
Since then, my life has started to glow
The house, the dog, the holidays
The workweek's grind, the walks on sundays
[Chorus]
The time flies fast
I think I need to slow down
My growing past
One day will make me drown
(Instrumental)
[Verse 2]
Then in our life, a son, a daughter
Each day, their smiles make me stronger
It's so endearing, how they marvel
At life, for them, so beautiful
[Chorus]
The time flies fast
Leaving a bittersweet feeling
Of loving a child
Who will one day take flight
(Instrumental)
[Chorus]
The time flies fast
I think I need to slow down
My growing past
One day will make me drown
[Part 2]
(Instrumental)
Time frightens me
The older I get
The shorter my days
So please tell me
If I still have more days left to live
Than I have already lived?
My wife is falling ill
My children are leaving
Mum can't remember me
I'm alone
I'm sorry for all these times
When I didn't take time to slow down
Slow down
Slow down
I'm not afraid of dying
I just want to have time to live enough
Do do do do do do do
Time to slow down
Da da da da da da da
Time to slow down…
[Part 3]
Sometimes I think
Good memories
Became just faded joys
You may just remember
With sounds, images,
Smells or tastes.
But it will never
Feel like the truth again.
Nostalgia is a pain.
The only solace I find
Is in this embracing light
Now, I just patiently wait
For the last breath I will take
The memories of my distant loved ones
Can never replace their presence again
I would better fall into dementia
So I will never feel loneliness anymore.
Maybe this light will help.
Maybe this light will help.
Maybe this light will help.
Maybe this light will help.
(Instrumental)
[Part 4]
A jolt in my chest.
A pain in my whole body.
Why I am now here
Lying in this hospital bed?
How possible it is
To reduce an entire dreamt life
To a few brain cells ashes?
How possible it is
To love an imaginary wife
And my children I now miss?
The doctor said
I was in a coma
For only one day
And how lucky I was
To survive a car crash
While the other driver
Will never wake up.
Never wake up.
Oh please.
Bring me back my dreamt life.
I don't want to live with this feeling of guilt.
Bring me back my beloved wife
And the family I will never have here.
Oh please…
(Instrumental)
The End of Me
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm just going to die
I have lived my best life
I won't tell any lie
To whom I'll find in the sky
[Chorus]
It's the end of me
And I will, now, be free
It's the end of me
And I will, now, be free
[Verse 2]
I'm counting my last breaths
In my sweet graveclothes
It's getting black and bright
I walk to this pure light
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
I feel loved, I feel good
So relieved in this wood
It's my time, just let go
I'm ready, just let go
About Hidden Magic Creek
Hidden Magic Creek is a brand new musical solo project I launched late 2024 with the release of Disillusion.
The Hidden Magic Creek is a deeply tranquil place, nestled within each of us. It is the home of The Creature (depicted on the album cover), an allegory of our better conscience. Though it may appear unsettling at first glance, I guess this is why not everyone chooses to follow its guidance in every moment of their daily lives.
Please note that no song from Disillusion are directly related to The Creature. Consider what you see on the album cover as an introduction of this curious character who may play a bigger role in future musical projects…
