Echoes
Faustix Lyrics

These lyrics from Faustix's song Echoes explore the idea of questioning one's sense of belonging and the fear that holds us back from embracing our true home. The first two lines focus on the way we behave and how sometimes we regret our actions and try to take them back. The following lines indicate a reflection on the rules we break or the choices we make on our journey. The repetition of the phrase "is this home we're wondering, is this home we're wanting" implies the longing for a sense of belonging and stability.

The lyrics then move into a dream-like state where the thoughts and ideas are going in circles, suggesting a cycle of confusion and unrest. The next line, "she's leaving echoes", is a metaphor for someone or something leaving a deep impression that lingers long after they're gone. The bass drop introduces a change in the musical composition that represents a shift in energy, and the final line, "it's the fear that holds me back," acknowledges the fear and uncertainty that can impede our ability to fully embrace our sense of belonging.
