“Hallucinations” concerns not being able to fully let go of someone and getting caught up in the constant barrage of thoughts about them. Though the song doesn’t specifically mention a breakup, the “hallucinations” mentioned could be interpreted as a mental manifestation of the confusing and lost f...
[Verse 1]
Falling backwards
What comes after
The words you said that knocked us from our high?
I always thought we'd have another life
Dancing alone
Left in shadows
I paint you in the corner of my mind
Forming colors from the rays of light
[Pre-Chorus]
Close my eyes, I can't erase you
(I can't erase you)
[Chorus]
Hallucinations, you occupy
My imagination's running wild
New sensations, sweet temptations
I can't tell what's real and what's
[Verse 2]
So much breakage
I see your face in blank spaces
I'm hearing voices out of my TV
Silent songs, but they're singing to me
[Pre-Chorus]
Close my eyes, I can't erase you
(Erase you, erase you)
We're not close, but I still taste you
(Still taste you, still taste you)
[Chorus]
Hallucinations, you occupy
My imagination's running wild
New sensations, sweet temptations
I can't tell what's real and what's
Hallucinations, they satisfy
My imagination's running wild
New sensations, sweet temptations
I can't tell what's real and what's...
[Bridge]
Hallucinations, -nations, -nations
Hallucinations, -nations, -nations
Hallucinations, -nations, -nations
Hallucinations (I can't tell what's real and what's)
[Chorus]
(Oh)
Hallucinations, you occupy
My imagination's running wild
New sensations, sweet temptations (I can't tell no more)
I can't tell what's real and what's
[Post-Chorus]
Hallucinations, -nations, -nations
Hallucinations, -nations, -nations
Hallucinations, -nations, -nations
Hallucinations (I can't tell what's real and what's)

We started this song about a year-and-a-half ago. I was out in L.A. doing a bunch of different writing sessions, and I had this random session with Marshmello and Amy Allen. The session was fine. It was cool. It was good vibes. But we left it and didn’t really think anything of the demo or anything....
“Hallucinations,” lyrically… I mean, the very face value aspect is hallucinations, and type of hallucinations you can experience, and personifying that—or turning that into a context relating to a relationship or whatever. But that song encapsulates a perspective I have about the supernatural versus...
It’s funny, I didn’t think the song would make the album. I was reading this book at the time about hallucinating, and it just kind of felt like I was living in a weird little dream. There were a lot of areas of my life where I was kind of contemplating what was real and what was something I was thi...
