(1) A Progressive rock band, formed in late 2004 in Caracas, Venezuela, with the idea of making music without any kind of limits. Formed by three guitars, bass, keyboards and drums, adding a “cuatro” (typical venezuelan instrument) once in a while, you get to see a not so common line-up inside the standards of the genre.
Shortly after the inception of the band, in may 2005, they won the prestigious “Festival Alma Mater Rock” in Caracas, being the first instrumental band in getting that award. Through 2006, they kept on playing live shows and in 2007 they took a break from playing live so they could start working on their first album, which was due sometime around 2008. The album's name will be Nature/Existence and it should come out some time in 2009. Besides this, the band will be appearing in two compilation albums put together by Colossus Magazine (Finland) and Musea Records (France): Rökstenen: a tribute to Swedish progressive rock of the 70's and Paradiso based on Dante's Divine Comedy.

(2) An Ambient Post-Hardcore/Post-Metal project based in Winchester, UK.
Echoes formed in November 2010. Their debut album "Transcendent" is followed by their new album "The Pursuit" which can be purchased through iTunes or via their website.

Having only been the final line-up since the summer of 2010, their music has developed already into a more mature sound that nods at their contemporaries. Since the start of the self-produced album the band have worked solidly to promote themselves and have made several connections with promoters and other bands. Their music has been described as "perfect sweeping soundscapes", and they bring a fresh style to the young UK hardcore scene.

(16) (Incorrect redirect) Echos, the Portland duo, fall into a genreless mist of both cinematic post-rock style instrumentation and left-of-center pop writing; paving a new path, and style along the way. Clash Magazine notes Echos are "Oddly infectious […] in an electronic haze”. Often self-referential and coated in bitter-romance lyricism, Echos brings the angst of 2006’s emo days and reinvents it with 2018’s anti-pop pop-music. Have been working with with online promotional mecca ‘MrSuicideSheep’ and his label ‘Seeking Blue’ for the last 3+ years – Echos has seen the fortune of millions of streams, impressions, and eyes on their music. Finding importance in the physical, Echos has not only seen gains digitally, but they have found themselves supporting large-room sold out tours with electronic acts like Illenium, on the festival stages of Electric Forest, Snowglobe, and more as well as a bus tour with Alternative metal good-boys ‘I See Stars’.

(17) A Berlin based post-punk/new wave band who formed in 2019 and released their first demo in July 2020. Their Bandcamp: https://echoesberlin.bandcamp.com/album/demo-2020

亡命者
Echoes Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

男と女生まれた時から
ただそれだけで
僕らは今日も苦しみ悲しみ
喜び怒り笑い嘆く
Oh destiny それが宿命
越える事が出来ない
男と女の国境線
人は壁を超えて

自由な愛を目指して流れる
愛してしまった方が
愛の奴隷になって生きる
男女平等なんてウソさ
愛の前では無意味なイデオロギー
男と女生まれた時から
歴史はいつも
愛の数だけ争い繰り返す
それでも人は求めた
愛する事を止める事は出来ない
女に届かない男の弱みがたまる
男にはなれない女の
傷みがつのるばかり
無防備な愛に無謀な恋がつき進む
限りなく近づこうとする
男と女はそこで気がつく
男と女生まれた時から
ただそれだけで
僕らは今日も苦しみ悲しみ
喜び怒り笑い嘆く
Oh destiny それが宿命
Oh refugee 愛されているから女
Oh refugee 愛しているから男

Oh refugee 男と女は違う
その力が世界を変えてゆく

Overall Meaning

The song "亡命者" by Echoes explores the complexities and struggles inherent in the relationship between men and women. From the moment they are born, both men and women are bound to experience a range of emotions: pain, sadness, joy, anger, laughter, and despair. These emotions are part of their destiny, something they cannot escape. The lyrics emphasize that the border between men and women is like a wall, but people still strive to cross it in search of love and freedom.

The song challenges the idea of gender equality, suggesting that it is a false concept when it comes to love. In the realm of love, ideologies regarding equality become meaningless. Love has the power to enslave those who fall into its grasp, becoming their master and dictating how they live. The lyrics highlight the irony of this situation, questioning the notion of equality and suggesting that love is a force that transcends any societal construct.

Throughout history, love has been a source of conflict and contention. Despite this, people have always yearned for love and have been unable to stop seeking it. The song suggests that men accumulate vulnerabilities and weaknesses that women cannot perceive, while women accumulate only pain from their inability to become men. The lyrics evoke the image of reckless love and irrational infatuation, as they describe love as both defenseless and daring. The song implies that men and women realize their differences and the power they hold over each other when they come together in the pursuit of love.

The chorus of the song emphasizes the inescapable nature of men and women's existence. Just by being born as men and women, they are bound to experience the various emotions and struggles mentioned earlier. The mention of destiny implies that these experiences are an inherent part of their lives. The lyrics also touch on the idea of being a "refugee," suggesting that both men and women find solace and purpose in being loved and loving in return. Their differences and the power they possess have the potential to change the world, implying that the bond between men and women has a transformative effect on society.
