EK Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tears from my eyes
Burning my skin, down on their way
Bitter tears
Filled with dreams, they flow away
I had it all
Like water it slipped between my hands
It disappeared
Lonely and cold, abandoned I stand

All I was living for
Now suddenly is gone
All my hopes and thoughts
That I had were wrong
Dreams made my world
I raised a wall, with visions filled
Before my eyes
It turned to dust, this lie I've built
I lay myself down
I close my eyes, and resign
Feelings die
I leave my past far behind
So now it seems
Like my tears will never stop to fall
With tearfilled eyes
I watch my dreams just slip away
Let me pass
Away into eternal sleep
Greeted by silence
Embraced by darkness, by arms so deep
I let it go
I'm falling weightless, emotion flies

I fade away
The wind softly moves me as I die...

Overall Meaning

The song "Tears" by EK is a song about loss and the painful transition of moving on. The opening lines, "Tears from my eyes, Burning my skin, down on their way, Bitter tears, Filled with dreams, they flow away" set the tone for the song. The lyrics describe the feeling of tears streaming down one's face and the pain that they bring. The tears are filled with the dreams that once were, that have now disappeared.

EK describes how they had it all, and now it has all slipped through their hands. They are left feeling cold and alone, abandoned by everything they were living for. The dreams that they had, which once made up their world, have turned to dust, leaving nothing but a lie they have built around themselves. They are forced to face the truth that all their hopes and thoughts were wrong.

The final verses leave the listener with a sense of finality and acceptance. EK resigns themself to their fate, knowing that they need to let go and move on. They describe themselves as falling weightless and fading away, with the wind softly moving them as they die. The song ends on a somber note, with the acceptance that sometimes, we must let go of our dreams and embrace the silence and darkness.

Line by Line Meaning

Tears from my eyes
I am crying

Burning my skin, down on their way
my tears are so hot that they feel like they are burning my skin

Bitter tears
I am crying sadly

Filled with dreams, they flow away
my tears are filled with the dreams that will never come true and they are flowing away

I had it all
I once had everything I wanted

Like water it slipped between my hands
just like water flowing out of my hands, everything I had slipped away from me

It disappeared
everything I once had is gone now

Lonely and cold, abandoned I stand
I am left alone with no one to turn to

All I was living for
everything I was trying to achieve

Now suddenly is gone
has vanished without any warning

All my hopes and thoughts
all the things that I was hoping for and thinking of

That I had were wrong
turned out to be incorrect

Dreams made my world
my dreams were what made my world a better place

I raised a wall, with visions filled
I built a wall around myself and hid behind my dreams

Before my eyes
right in front of me

It turned to dust, this lie I've built
my dream world crumbled down like dust and all the lies I have been telling myself were exposed

I lay myself down
I surrender myself to the situation

I close my eyes, and resign
I am giving up and accepting everything as it is

Feelings die
I am numb and no longer feel anything

I leave my past far behind
I am moving on from my past and leaving it behind me

So now it seems
it appears to me

Like my tears will never stop to fall
I feel like I will never stop crying

With tearfilled eyes
my eyes are filled with tears

I watch my dreams just slip away
I see my dreams slipping away in front of my eyes

Let me pass
let me go

Away into eternal sleep
into a permanent slumber

Greeted by silence
surrounded by a peaceful silence

Embraced by darkness, by arms so deep
wrapped in a dark embrace, deep and comforting

I let it go
I release everything and let it go

I'm falling weightless, emotion flies
I feel like I'm floating, my emotions are everywhere

I fade away
I disappear into nothingness

The wind softly moves me as I die...
I am slowly dying and the wind is moving me gently

Nostalgia overload. Going to the bowling alley arcade at 7PM, putting in a $5 to play 6 games of DDR, saving the last 2 to do Oni challenges. Always played this song at least once per session.
