Despair
Echoes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can feel how this world is unraveling
Dreams dying to be free from death
Duty marking the spot where passion is
Killing silently denying joy instantly

Few can change the world
And less decide to risk it
When all is said and done
These scars won't heal at all

A light that shines bright can lead you astray
All hope in the world is there to fade away
And you know there is no faith where to hide
Who are we to judge what's wrong or right

Hear the clock ticking devouring the hours away
In distress extinguishing the colors around us
Only whispers and echoes reaching out to the sky
Once we were dust at dawn we shall be reborn again

I tried to change the world
I decided it was worth it
And all was said and done
These scars won't heal at all

A light that shines bright can lead you astray
All hope in the world is there to fade away
And you know there is no faith where to hide
Who are we to judge what's wrong or right

The world is a canvas painted with tears and blood
Strokes of genius above the confusion that reigns us all




Where is the creator of this wretched masterpiece
Of random traces, twisted faces, endless dreams breaking
