The band is non-active since 2005, although all members have other projects currently in progress. Guitarist Dylan Donkin has a solo project, and is also a member of the San Francisco quartet The Cons. His brother, Adam, is focusing on producing emerging artists (including Dylan). Andrew Gomez fronts the acoustic rock outfit, The Cons. Jason currently plays bass for Voivod and Rock Star Supernova.
Supposedly, a great factor that caused the break-up of Echobrain was an encounter with copyright issues. Another band by the name of Echo Drain had written a song titled, "Suckerpunch" that was also used by Echobrain.
Adrift
Echobrain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Strive for nothing cold earth I lay
Endings changed
I'm old up close
Springtimes are gone
Bring those teardrops those dreams upon this day
Always undone they all work round to create the ups and downs
They fall
Once you've found the gate call the wind
You know love grows beyond call the wind
As you cross the circumstances they change
Passion to me calls and I wait
These lyrics from Echobrain's song Adrift express the struggle and hardships of life that one has to go through. The first few lines talk about the constant struggle and how it leads to nothing but feeling lost and defeated. However, there seems to be a shift in the singer's perception as he talks about how endings change and he is getting older. He talks about how he misses the good times and longs for something to fill his heart with.
The chorus is like a beacon of hope, telling the listener to not give up and to keep searching for something that really means something to them. The line "Once you've found the gate call the wind, you know love grows beyond call the wind" could be interpreted in different ways, but it seems to encourage the listener to keep searching and striving and to not give up on pursuing their passions.
The final lines of the song "Passion to me calls and I wait" are like a final affirmation of the singer's commitment to his passion and his willingness to wait for the right opportunity to pursue it fully.
Overall, the song Adrift is a poignant representation of the struggles and hardships that we all face in life, but also a reminder to not give up and to keep pursuing our dreams.
