Far From Coincidence
Echoes Lyrics

The opening lines of the song “Far From Coincidence” by Echoes paint a serene picture of one’s surroundings after waking up to the warmth of the sun on their face. The description of pastel paintings on the walls and light beams dancing on the covers of the bed creates an image of a peaceful and calming environment. However, the absence of someone who used to share the same space with the singer is felt, as they stop to catch their breath at the space left behind.

The song’s title “Far From Coincidence” implies that this feeling of emptiness and loss is not simply coincidental or random, but something that is connected to the singer in a deeper way. They question the reason for listening to themselves when they know that the world will be dead again at night. The repeated occurrence of this feeling of isolation and disconnection is described as a functional dysfunction - something that is not working properly but still serves a function.

In the final verse of the song, the singer reaches out for someone to take their hand as they walk into the unknown. The idea of waking from the world suggests a desire to escape from the isolation and emptiness described in the previous verses. The reference to “tears aren’t exactly real” implies that their previous experiences with emotions have been clouded by this sense of disconnection, and they hope to find a new sense of reality with the help of someone else.
