Echoes
Flyte Lyrics

The curtain blocks the sunshine
Something is blocking the light, maybe a mental block or a physical one.

As you argue with yourself
You are in conflict with your own thoughts and opinions, making it hard to make a decision or a choice

The only frame of reference
The only way to comprehend or relate to what's happening is through what you already know from your past, your experiences, your culture, or your beliefs.

Are the books upon your shelf
The knowledge, ideas, or opinions you have are limited to those that you have learned from books or other written works.

You've always been a genius
You have an exceptional intellectual or creative ability that sets you apart from others.

The world just doesn't know it yet
The people or the society around you have not recognized or appreciated your talents or achievements yet.

But as soon as you're dead and gone
Only when you are no longer alive, people will start paying attention to your legacy, your works, your impact, or your influence.

They'll be hearing your echo
Your voice, your message, or your memory will still resonate or reverberate in the minds or the hearts of the people who come after you.

The scene where Donald Sutherland
A specific movie or TV scene, that may or may not relate to your own life, but that has the power to evoke an emotional reaction or a fantasy.

Got hot between the sheets
A moment of intense sexual passion or desire between the characters on screen or in your imagination.

Had really got her going
She was aroused or excited by what she saw, and that might have triggered some thoughts or feelings of her own.

So you turned away to sleep
You decided to ignore or suppress those thoughts or feelings, maybe because you think they are inappropriate, or because you don't want to deal with them.

And the longer you're together
The more time you spend with someone else, whether it's a romantic partner or a friend or a family member, the more challenging it becomes to maintain a healthy relationship.

Seems the less you get along
The more you know about someone else's faults, weaknesses, or quirks, the harder it is to accept them, which may lead to conflicts, arguments, or estrangement.

But no one remembers love
What endures or stays with us after a relationship is over, is not the love we felt, but rather the memories, the grudges, or the lessons we learned from that experience.

They remember the echoes
What remains after a relationship is over, is not the bond or the connection we had with the other person, but rather the echoes of our own thoughts, emotions, or regrets that still haunt us.

And the crowd it stretches out
A large group of people, maybe strangers or fans or supporters, who share a similar interest, emotion or experience, and who want to connect or belong with each other.

As far as you and I can see
An indefinite or an unknown distance, that shows how hard it is to define or measure a community or a social phenomenon, especially in the context of our own limited perspective.

As the band, they start to play
A group of musicians who create and share an artistic expression, maybe a song, a melody, or a rhythm, that might have a transformative power on the audience or the culture.

For that one moment, we feel free
Experiencing a moment of liberation, joy, or connection, that transcends the constraints, the stresses, or the norms of our daily lives.

But nobody hears the song
Despite the efforts or the inspiration of the musicians, the message, the meaning or the beauty of their work might be lost, forgotten, or ignored in the noise of the world.

All they hear are the echoes
What remains after a musical performance is over, is not the live sound or the vibe, but rather the echoes of the melodies or the lyrics that still resonate or evoke emotions in our memory.
