We were talking about the space between us all and the people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion. Never glimpse the truth – then it’s far too late when they pass away.
Meaning of the quote
This quote is talking about how some people hide their true selves from others, almost like they are hiding behind an imaginary wall. They never show their real feelings or beliefs, so when they die, it's too late for others to understand who they really were. The quote suggests that it's important to be honest and open with others, instead of hiding behind an "illusion" or fake version of yourself.
