HALLUCINATION (I.N) Lyrics in English Stray Kids

Step into a dream you cannot quite touch. In "HALLUCINATION," Stray Kids’ I.N whisks us into a private, neon-lit room where reality blurs the moment his crush appears. One second she is whispering in his ear, flooding him with euphoria and turning the world into a personal utopia; the next, she vanishes like smoke. The singer is left chasing after glowing after-images, heart pounding “like drums,” half-dazed and wondering if any of it was ever real.

That dizzy push-and-pull is the core of the song. I.N paints love as an addictive mirage that excites, confuses, and hurts all at once. He begs the phantom girl to “come in” and prove their moment was “not a lie,” even while acknowledging that she might only exist in his imagination. The track captures the thrill of infatuation—how someone can feel like your own fantastical wonderland—alongside the frustration of watching that magic dissolve before your eyes. It is a hypnotic mix of longing and adrenaline, perfect for anyone who has ever chased a feeling that felt too vivid to be a dream.
