Echo
Echo of Life's Trials: A Poetic Journey Through Love and Loss
Lyrics
Did I hear an echo
Questioning if there's a repeated sound rebounding.
I swear I must've heard those words before
Feeling familiarity with previously heard phrases.
Ringing out through the hollow
Sound resonating in an empty space or environment.
Slipping through the space beneath the door
Passing through a narrow gap, possibly unnoticed.
One of these days oh love
Hopeful anticipation for better times.
Light will shine again out through the withering leaves
Optimism for brightness amid declining circumstances.
Well son remember
Advice or wisdom from a parental figure.
We shoulda known there'd be days like these
Acknowledging the inevitability of difficult days.
Hold your aching tongue
Keep quiet about painful feelings or thoughts.
Some things you'd better left unsaid
Some things are better left unsaid for their impact.
Because once you say them
Once spoken, thoughts may echo in one's environment.
Here in the mountains you'll hear them again
In a secluded place, words may reverberate.
Mama can you tell me
Seeking guidance or answers from a maternal figure.
If I wake up, what will be left of this dream
Concern about the aftermath of waking up from a dream.
Just the sweat on your pillow boy
Only traces of effort or hardship remain visible.
Nothing but the dark lines in between
Emptiness between significant events or experiences.
The gentle howl of mother moon
Reference to the quiet influence of the moon.
The seas the storm once brought to a boil
Recollection of turmoil settled in the past.
Simmer down girl not too soon
Advice to calm down without haste.
And all that shines is blood and foil
Everything glimmers with a mixture of blood and deception.
Do I see my reflection
Questioning self-identity or self-awareness.
Do I really find myself here again
Reflection or rediscovery of oneself in a familiar place.
Lost for direction
Feeling lost without a clear path or purpose.
Sinking deeper and deeper within
Sinking deeper into confusion or uncertainty.
One of these days oh love
Anticipation for the eventual resolution of brokenness.
All the broken pieces will be carried off into the wind
Belief that shattered parts will be carried away.
And what will remain here
Only the hidden aspects will persist.
Only what we bury under our skin
Our deepest buried emotions will endure.
Did I hear an echo
Reiterating the query about a recurring sound.
I swear I must have heard those words before
Affirmation of familiarity with repeated phrases.
Ringing out through the hollow
Reverberation through an empty space.
Slipping through the space beneath the door
Passing through a narrow space, possibly unnoticed.
One of these days oh love
Hopeful anticipation for brighter times.
Light will shine again out through the withering leaves
Optimism for illumination amid decline.
Well son remember
Reminder of foreseeing challenging days.
We shoulda known there'd be days like these
Acknowledgment of the predictability of difficult times.
