Honour Lost
Echoes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I won't look back
I'm not going that way
But its so hard to keep focused
So hard for me to stay in this state of mind
And keep moving forward
When all honour's lost
Is this the fall of man
Light up the dark
Light up the dark
Let a new song sound in our hearts
Light up the dark
Light up the dark
This kingdom once fought for lost to the past
I shouldn't look back
But I will
When all honour's lost
What is the cost?
On modern man
On everything
How much have we lost?
Is it everyone?
Everything?
A day will come
When the seas will roar
Take over earth
And the nations will fall
Light up the dark
Light up the dark
Let a new song sound in our hearts
Light up the dark




Light up the dark
This kingdom once fought for lost to the past

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Echoes' song "Honour Lost" speak to the struggle of maintaining a forward-looking perspective while grappling with the realities of a world that has lost its sense of honor. The singer declares their determination to keep moving forward, but acknowledges the difficulty of doing so in the face of overwhelming darkness. The loss of honor, the singer suggests, has brought about the fall of man, leaving us with precious little guidance on how to navigate the challenges of modern life.


As the chorus urges us to "light up the dark" and find a new sense of purpose, the song takes on a somewhat dystopian feel. The singer wonders about the cost of our loss of honor, and what it means for everything and everyone. The possibility of a catastrophic end to our current way of life looms large, with the imagery of the roaring seas and nations falling suggesting a world on the brink of collapse.


Overall, "Honour Lost" presents a searing critique of our modern world, warning of the dire consequences that can arise when we lose sight of what really matters. Despite the darkness the song portrays, however, there is a sense of hope that we can find a new way forward, if only we can summon the courage to stand up for what is right.
