Illusion Lyrics

First, the lyrics booklet does say it's "is anybody there?", but I have to agree with Michael, it sounds like, "does anybody care?". This actually happens a lot in CD booklets, but anyway..

I think the song is about being in a dark place (look at most of the lyrics and listen to the tone of the song) for days on end ("This life remains the same") and changing what one believes until one doesn't know what to believe anymore ("My constitution keeps changing/'Til it slips away"). It's also about falsely believing things will change for the better and needing to initiate the change on one's own ("I try...life goes on"). The person questions whether any "happiness" felt in this state is only an illusion of happiness.

The other interpretations and comments make sense too.
