Echoes
Enshine Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just another winter
Another season, where we have forgotten
The meaning of life
The reason why we are

Just another turn
Another day that remains unanswered
The distrust that binds

Those minutes that never pass
Yet we are there

Somehow this timelapse may leave us a legacy
The pulses of existence may collapse
But will never fade
Our origins will echo forever
From now on I no more feel lost
The night sky is so clear
The mind was an illusion
I'm only real in the moment
Our origins will echo forever

We were searching for the truth
With our closed eyes
We just had to listen... with our heart

We just had to open
To the moment

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Enshine's song "Echoes" appear to be a reflection on life and the passing of time. The opening lines signify that the time of year is winter and that, with each passing season, humans seem to forget the meaning and purpose of life. The subsequent lines talk about the passage of time and how it stays unanswered with a sense of despair and unfulfillment. Nonetheless, the lyrics seem to suggest that the passage of time may leave a significant legacy, and the pulses of existence will never fade, acting as echoes of our original existence.

The songwriter seems to achieve a sense of resolution in the closing stanza through a shift in message. The lyrics put forth the idea that we have been searching for the truth with our eyes closed, signifying our inability to see past the illusions created by our minds. To find the truth, we need to listen to our hearts and stay in the present moment. In the end, we learn that our origins will echo forever, and we are only real in the fleeting moments of life.
