Fading Echoes
Andrew Rayel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In this waking dawn
I felt the edges of a dream
Slipping past my feeble fingers, tantalizing me;
I cannot remember who you were or how it seemed–
I have not forgotten how it felt to be complete

So I tried to catch the fragments
But there’s no trying anymore
It was such a fleeting moment
But I touched you once before

So bring me to the surface of my mind
I am drowning in the sands of time
Lost among illusions in my eyes
When reality and dreams collide
Only then will I decide
To chase their fading echoes to the skies





Maybe they will carry me on through
Maybe they will carry me to you

Line by Line Meaning

In this waking dawn
At the beginning of a new day, as I wake up


I felt the edges of a dream
I remember the details of the dream I just had


Slipping past my feeble fingers, tantalizing me;
I can't hold onto the dream for long, and it makes me feel unsatisfied


I cannot remember who you were or how it seemed–
I can't recall the person or situation from the dream


I have not forgotten how it felt to be complete
But I do remember the feeling of being content and fulfilled in that dream


So I tried to catch the fragments
I attempted to gather the remaining pieces of the dream


But there’s no trying anymore
But it seems pointless to try because the dream is already fading


It was such a fleeting moment
The dream was only temporary


But I touched you once before
But in that brief dream, I felt a connection with someone or something


So bring me to the surface of my mind
I want to focus on my thoughts and memories


I am drowning in the sands of time
I'm overwhelmed by the passing of time and losing memories


Lost among illusions in my eyes
I feel like I can't distinguish between reality and imagination


When reality and dreams collide
It's hard to differentiate what's real and what's not


Only then will I decide
Once I can sort through my thoughts and feelings, I'll make up my mind


To chase their fading echoes to the skies
To pursue the remnants of the dream before they completely disappear


Maybe they will carry me on through
Perhaps the memories from the dream will inspire or motivate me


Maybe they will carry me to you
Maybe the dream will lead me to someone or something important
