Double Cross
Ephemeral Echoes: Navigating Life's Symphony
Lyrics
While you're watching from the window waiting
Expressing the feeling of being observed or judged while waiting for something.
I've been spilling my guts out on the stage
Revealing personal thoughts and emotions during a performance on stage.
I spent the best years of my life
Reflecting on the prime years of life that were spent struggling with personal issues.
Drinking myself to sleep at night
Describing a period of coping with problems by turning to alcohol for solace.
And now the glory days have all but faded
Acknowledging the decline of better times, and the loss of former enthusiasm.
Everyone I used to know is jaded
Noting that acquaintances from the past have become cynical or disillusioned.
Where is the passion that you used to have
Questioning the disappearance of a once-present passion, likely for music.
When music was the only thing that you had?
Reminiscing about a time when music held a central and essential role in life.
All my pictures have faded over time
Reflecting on the fading of memories captured in pictures over time.
I burnt the negatives of you
Symbolizing the intentional removal or destruction of memories associated with someone.
What have I got here left to prove?
Pondering what remains to be proven or achieved in the absence of those memories.
'Cause all I got, all I really got is this music that's left of me
Stating that the only substantial aspect left is the music, representing a personal legacy.
And all I want, all I really want is a reason to believe
Expressing a desire for a meaningful reason or purpose to believe in.
Some day I know that I'll be fading
Acknowledging an inevitable decline or fading away at some point in the future.
Everyone I used to know is getting afraid, afraid, afraid of getting older
Observing that people from the past are becoming fearful of aging.
And every heart I love grows colder
Noting a growing emotional distance as loved ones become less warm or affectionate.
I love when time slips by
Expressing a positive attitude towards the passage of time.
I'm not afraid to die
Conveying a lack of fear regarding death.
Remember the passion that you used to have
Encouraging the recall of the lost passion for music in the face of challenges.
When music was the only thing that you had
Reiterating the significance of music as a fundamental and enduring aspect of life.
This still is the only thing that, that is worth my breath
Affirming that music remains the only thing worth dedicating one's breath to.
This still is the only thing that, that is worth my breath

I've been trying so hard to make the best of my time
Expressing efforts to make the most of one's time rather than passively waiting.
Instead of waiting around hoping that someday I'll find
Rejecting the idea of waiting for fulfillment and actively seeking necessary elements in life.
All the things that I need and all the love that I get
Listing the essential components of life – needs and love – and the search for them.
Wasted till all the days become numb again
