Last Time
Lost Echoes: A Haunting Tale of Absence and Hope
Lyrics
One night I thought I saw him walk outside my window
The speaker recalls a moment when they believed they saw someone outside their window.
But I know it's in my head
The speaker acknowledges that this sighting was a product of their imagination.
Deepest recess of a mind that warped with memories
Refers to the deepest part of the mind filled with memories that have caused distortion.
Likes to keep things left unsaid
Suggests a tendency to leave important things unsaid or unexpressed.
If I ask of you
The speaker is about to request something from someone.
Try and help me see what's true
Asking the person to assist in perceiving reality correctly.
I'll Close the book and walk away
Expresses the willingness to move on or let go if the truth is revealed.
Last time I saw him, he was walking out the door
Recalling the last sighting of the person leaving.
Always think he will return
Despite the departure, there's a persistent hope for the person's return.
I am not the only one, I know there is much more
Acknowledgment that others share the same belief and hope.
Believe that someday we will see him
Belief in the eventual reappearance of the person.
When it happens, you wish if there was some more time
Reflecting on the feeling of wanting more time when the anticipated event occurs.
Many words you should have said
Regret over unsaid words that should have been expressed.
Breath the breathes I take, I feel that I commit crimes
Feeling guilty for being alive when someone else should have faced the consequence.
Because it should have been me dead
Expresses a belief that the speaker should have suffered instead.
And if I ask of you, tell me if you think its true
Asking for the listener's opinion on the truth.
The answer might not just be wrong
Suggesting the answer might not necessarily be incorrect.
Last time I saw him, he was walking out the door
Reiteration of the last sighting of the person leaving.
Always think he will return
Continued hope for the person's eventual return.
I am not the only one, I know there is much more
Reassurance that others share the hope of seeing the person again.
Believe that someday we will see him
Continued belief in the eventual reunion with the person.
