BLUE
Echoes Lyrics

The first line of Echoes's song "Blue" translates to "A poet has died." This sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics, which reflect on the fleeting and temporary nature of life. The second line introduces the birth of a friend's child, which creates a sense of cyclical renewal and the continuation of life. The third line describes a mid-winter afternoon where human shadows become faint, creating a vivid image of a desolate and melancholic environment. The singer is then described as dragging their shadow along with them and bringing an alternate version of themselves.

The next lines describe how everyone steps on the shadow of the singer, representing how people can be dismissive or neglectful of others. The chorus focuses on the theme of the earth being born blue and how it will always remain blue, with the hope of retaining childlike innocence and wonder. The subsequent verses portray the themes of light and dark, positive and negative, and genuine feelings versus societal expectations dichotomies. Each of these themes is represented as two contrasting worlds, and the singer expresses the desire to navigate them with wisdom.
