== Background ==
On March 9th, 2019, the song was first uploaded by the Fanning Sessions blog, which archives recordings from The Dave Fanning Show, an Irish radio program.<ref name=":0">https://fanningsessions.wordpress.com/2019/03/09/dave-fannings-irish-show-march-1984/</ref> This broadcast is likely dated March 17th 1983;<ref>https://fanningsessions.wordpress.com/2019/03/09/dave-fannings-irish-show-march-1984/#comment-64735</ref> in this broadcast, Fanning states that he will only play Irish songs,<ref name=":0" /> and there will be no demo tapes played on the show.<ref>https://youtu.be/WJhuhpHKCIc?t=1415</ref> The song's name is not mentioned in the program, as the audio cuts right before he introduces it.<ref>https://youtu.be/WJhuhpHKCIc?t=2137</ref> 

The songs on the tape range from 1981 to 1983,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJhuhpHKCIc</ref> with many of them coming from "Fanning Sessions," where aspiring bands were given a full recording session that was later played on Fanning's radio show.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dave_Fanning_Show</ref> Fanning was known to offer these recording sessions to obscure bands, and many of these bands never went on to release an album or single.<ref>https://www.libfocus.com/2018/12/do-you-have-any-cassettes-interview.html</ref>  

The song first gained attention in the Lostwave community in June 2023, when it was reuploaded by YouTube user q.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhNcB6J-n48</ref>

|'''Presumed Lyrics'''
|-
|'''(Verse 1)'''Times where that turn just gone too fast for you to keep pace
Saw you lose your grasp

Thought we'd be a part of the master plan

We aren't planning on sticking with you

Poor friend, that's no excuse

You lost your hope, and now you need out

So, in your future

You say all you need is power

'''(Verse 2)'''

I can't believe what you're trying to say

It’s different now, it’s never been this way

Your pointless cynicism cuts like ice

When you're talking, it's a different voice

Watch you go crazy, I just ain't got the time

It’s better to split for your sake and mine

Got to reach out with an open mind

Positive action can leave you behind

Got to carry it out

Seems so real I can almost touch it

No turning back, that's it

'''(Verse 3)'''

Not gonna die in this miserable town

I have a chance, to cut you down

I can't come around to see you no more

Something’s going on, can't you see

Threw it back, in the back of my mind

Waiting forever in silence

Deluded

Deluded

Deluded, deluded, hey

'''''(Guitar Solo)'''''
