Echoes and Signals was formed in 2012 in Tula, Russian Federation, as an instrumental trio. The band plays music influenced mainly by post-rock and progressive rock elements.
Original lineup included Fedor Kivokurtsev(guitars, sound producing), Alexey Zaytsev(bass) & Vladimir Pozdyshev (drums).
Originally the band was formed just as an improvisation playground for the founding members, but lately it turned into a real project. The result of all transformations was first 4-song conceptual EP album called “Comma”, recorded in July, 2012. Studio & composing work was always E&S priority, but the band gave single live performances during 2012. Also, in the end of the year a recording/composing process for the new release that will be called “Ouroboros” was started. After finishing drum recording Vladimir P(drummer) had decided to leave the band because of moving. New drummer Yaroslav Egorov joined the band in the end of the year.
The 2013 has begun from signing a contract with nanoBox Records (subdivision of Magnetic Eye Records). “Comma” was re-released and the new album will be released in 2013 autumn.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Teď se přemlouvám, hledám vhodná slova
Tvou odpověď chci znát už nazpaměť
Teď nad věcí už dávno nejsem
Chci pochopit tenhleten šílenej sen
Jak minut pět
Změní ti celý svět
Vím dávno co mi chybí
Tak sama sebe přemlouvám
Ať dál už tě nehledám
Když se rozběhnu tak křičím
Že sama sebe ničím
Na úkor nekonečným tmám
Jsem stále ráda že tě mám
Být nad věcí snad ani nejde
Nechci být ta, co dřív z cesty sejde
Co když právě teď
Zjistím tvou odpověď
Tak mezitím dál sama pluju
Třeba přijde den, kdy tu pro tebe budu
Zas v dešti stát a jen se hloupě smát
Vím dávno co mi chybí
Je důkaz o tvém žití
Tak sama sebe přemlouvám
Ať dál už tě nehledám
Když se rozběhnu tak křičím
Že sama sebe ničím
Na úkor nekonečným tmám
Jsem stále ráda že tě mám
Tak sama sebe přemlouvám
Vím dávno co mi chybí
Je důkaz o tvém žití
Tak sama sebe přemlouvám
Ať dál už tě nehledám
Když se rozběhnu tak křičím
Že sama sebe ničím
Na úkor nekonečným tmám
Jsem stále ráda že tě mám
The lyrics to Echoes and Signals's "V" seem to be about a person who's been lied to and deceived by someone they once loved. The opening lines "I've seen it in your eyes/Looks like your sneaking and all your lies/They did catch up to you this time" suggest that the singer has caught the other person in a lie or deception. However, the other person still believes that their bond is unbreakable and says "Blood is forever/Love is forever," implying that they have done something to hurt the singer but that their relationship will always endure.
The chorus of the song seems to suggest that the singer is struggling to reconcile the past with their present reality. They say "I can fool myself all that I want/But I saw the room, I heard your voice, I saw your eyes/The truth will always get the best of you inside or out/It took me two years to find that I wasted five years of my life/Felt the truth within you and I saw red." Here, the singer is grappling with the fact that they spent a significant amount of time with someone who betrayed them, and they have only come to realize this after years of denial.
Line by Line Meaning
I've seen it in your eyes
I can tell by looking at you that you're being sneaky and lying
Looks like your sneaking and all your lies
Your actions make it clear that you're being deceitful
They did catch up to you this time
Your lies have finally been exposed and you're facing the consequences
I swear I heard you say
I'm certain that I heard you say
Blood is forever
Family bonds are unbreakable
Love is forever
Romantic love lasts forever
I can fool myself all that I want
I can try to ignore the truth, but it will always catch up with me
But I saw the room, I heard your voice, I saw your eyes
I have clear and direct evidence that you were lying
The truth will always get the best of you inside or out
You will never be able to escape the truth
It took me two years to find that I wasted five years of my life
It took me a while to realize that I spent a significant amount of time with someone who was dishonest
Felt the truth within you and I saw red
I knew that you were lying and I was really angry
I guess we are, we are the long goodbye
Our relationship is ending but it's taking a while to fully say goodbye
What wasted time
The time we spent together was pointless
I always hoped somehow it never happened to us
I never thought our relationship would end like this
But it is something that did
Unfortunately, it happened
And something that I can't forget
I'll always remember what you did
And after all of our times
After all the time we spent together
You fucked and did what you did
You messed up and did something wrong
This was days and weeks, days and weeks of deceit
You were lying to me for a long time
It was days and weeks of deceit
You were dishonest for an extended period of time
You turned and walked away
You left me behind
You said you'd be back tomorrow
You promised to return the next day
Well tomorrow has come and gone, noo
You never came back
Looks like your choking on all those lies
The truth is catching up with you and it's difficult to handle
They did catch up with you this time
You're facing the repercussions of your dishonesty
But it seems forever meant nothing to you
Your actions show that family and loyalty mean nothing to you
It meant nothing forever, meant nothing to you
Family and loyalty never had any value to you

Beautiful and haunting and very emotional powerful songs 😊

Great album with tracks that stand by themselves in the genre which is rare for me. Specially like 2:38, reminds me to Opeth
