Countless
Escape the Echoes: A Tale of Liberation in Velcro Wallets' Countless
Lyrics
Counting the sorrows in my head, and they never seem to end
Reflecting on the troubles and sadness in the mind that seem endless.
You're not helping me escape
Expressing frustration that someone is not aiding in escaping from difficulties.
If I could choose between the two, a brand new start or another with you,
Considering the choice between a fresh start or continuing with the same person, preferring to run away.
I'd choose to run away
Expressing a preference for avoiding the current situation by choosing to escape.
So tell me, ask me, break me till you get the answers that you want out of me
Encouraging questioning and breaking down until the desired answers are obtained.
And if this house is burning, pack your bag and leave me yearning for when it burns to the fucking ground
Encouraging leaving in the face of a crisis, anticipating a yearning when everything falls apart.
I wrote you a letter and sealed it in my pain.
Expressing pain through a letter, claiming freedom that cannot be held back.
Now I'm free, two words that you cannot restrain
Declaring freedom with the absence of restraint, possibly from a past relationship.
Now that you're with me, you can take back all your lies,
Acknowledging the presence of the other person, suggesting a desire to retract lies.
and I hope we don't meet again in another life
Expressing a hope to avoid encountering the person again in future lives.
I stay up late as the clock takes by just for you to say your goodbyes,
Staying awake late for farewells, possibly in a long-distance relationship.
and you're a thousand miles away
Feeling speechless and distant after being left, attempting to escape self-made problems.
Now that you've left me, I can't speak. I'm trying to run away from me,
Reflecting on challenges created by the departed person and struggling to escape them.
and all these problems that you made
Expressing a desire to be fixed and cleaned from memories of broken promises.
So fix me, clean me, erase these memories of the promises that you will always break
Committing to sincerity while the other moves on, questioning one's own well-being.
I'll cross my heart and hope to die while you move on and I cry and I ask myself, am I O-fucking-K
(Repetition of lines 8-11)
I wrote you a letter and sealed it in my pain.
-Now I'm free, two words that you cannot restrain
(Repetition of lines 9-11)
Now that you're with me, you can take back all your lies,
(Repetition of lines 10-11)
and I hope we don't meet again in another life
(Repetition of line 11)
Have you given up? Have you had enough?
Pondering if the other person has given up or if their tolerance has reached a limit.
Where's the ending I deserve?
Questioning the whereabouts of the deserved resolution or conclusion.
I did nothing wrong
Asserting innocence and expressing emotional investment in a song.
My heart's in this song
Committing to leave the situation with dignity, likening the departure to a man's resolution.
I'll make like a man and walk away
Resolving to walk away from the situation, implying strength in making this decision.
