Forgotten Echoes: A Tale of Regret and Redemption
Lyrics
The shattered soul in a lifetime of regret
The speaker reflects on a shattered soul burdened with a lifetime of regret.
Decay, we enter the blight
Entering a state of decay or decline, facing a harsh and unpleasant condition.
Speak to me as if I'm all that's left
Request to be acknowledged and spoken to as if the speaker is the only remaining entity.
A broken soul in the wasteland
Describes the speaker as a broken soul in a desolate and barren place.
The promise that you seek

An act of kindness to sever the silence once and for all

Exonerate me for every promise that I make

How do you sleep at night

Knowing I've forgotten you

I strive to heal what's hollow
Expressing the speaker's desire to fill emotional emptiness.
But every breath will stay the same
Despite efforts, things remain unchanged and unimproved.
The simple forms the complicated
Highlighting the complexity that arises from simplicity.
Erratically in vain
Actions are performed in a chaotic and futile manner.
Bound to swallow the bliss just to spit out the pain

Naively thinking resentment turns to dust
Naively hoping that resentment fades away.

Can I forget my flesh and blood

Yet I have abandoned you

No more tears

I belong to another
