echo
Nevada Tan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ich weiß nicht ob ich schlaf
Bin ich gefangen oder wach?
Die Einsamkeit macht mich so schwach
Ich habe viel geweint
War am Ende und allein
Die Kälte friert mich ein
Ich versuch stark zu sein
(Ich starr nächtelang an die weiße Wand
Hab jedes Gefühl aus meinem "Ich" verbannt
Hab aus Angst angefangen die Sekunden zu zählen
Noch ein Paar Stunden und ich geh meinen schlimmsten Weg)

Und der Schmerz vergeht nicht
Es geht nicht
Du fehlst mir hier

Refrain

Dein Echo zerschlägt meine Wand
Trümmer der Realität, über die ich geh, und ich versteh
Es ist zu spät
Dein Echo frisst meinen Verstand
Es verhallt tief in mir, es wird kalt und ich spür, wie ich mich verlier

Der fensterlose Raum
Ist kalt und voll mit Staub
Kann meinen Augen kaum noch trauen
Die Vergangenheit zerreißt mich
Ich hoff so sehr ich schlaf
Weck mich nicht auf
Weil ich das niemals schaff

(Es ist so schwer, die vielen Bilder fühlen
Die kalten Wände zu berühren
Deine Schmerzen zu spüren
Es ist so schwer, durch eine Welt zu gehen
In der Bilder von dir
Noch 10 Jahre später
Wiederkehren)

Und der Schmerz vergeht nicht
Es geht nicht
Du fehlst mir hier

Refrain

Ich spüre dein Echo und wünsche mir so
Dass ich es schaff und dass ich dich ziehen lass
Ich spüre dein Echo und wittere die Chance
Ich lass dich los, damit du deine Ruhe bekommst
Der Raum ist still und leer
Dein Echo verklingt
Doch irgendwann folge ich dir

Refrain 2x





Bin ich gefangen, oder wach?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Nevada Tan's song Echo are deeply emotional and speak to feelings of isolation, sadness, and the struggle to let go of a past love. The singer begins by describing a state of confusion and uncertainty, questioning whether they are asleep or awake, trapped or free. The loneliness they feel is overwhelming and has brought the singer to tears. Despite their efforts to be strong, the coldness of their emotional state is freezing them.


The chorus of the song brings in the idea of an echo, which feels like a metaphor for the singer's inability to escape their past. They describe the echo as shattering their wall and creating debris from the reality they are living in. This "echo" seems to be a metaphor for the lingering feelings and memories the singer has about their former love.


As the song progresses, the singer describes a windowless room that is full of dust, and they can barely trust their eyes. The past pain feels relentless, and they hope that they are sleeping so they do not have to face it. The singer also describes how they have tried to block out their memories of their past love, banishing all of their feelings. However, the echoes of the past continue to haunt the singer.


In the final verse, the singer starts to accept that they need to let go of their past love, despite the strong bond they still feel. The echo that they previously felt seems to be fading away, and the singer experiences a moment of calm. However, the singer ends the song on a note of ambiguity - wondering whether they are trapped or free.

made an english transliteration, as the translation didn't really make much sense ^^'
hopefully you like it~

~ verse 1
i don't know if i'm asleep
am i awake or in a dream
loneliness has got me drained and weak
so trust that i have cried
and i'm trying not to die
alone and in the cold, not knowing why (knowing why)
(
night after night, seeing black and white
hear the second hand ticking but the time ain't right
i've erased every feeling right out of myself
just a little bit left till i see you in hell
)

~ prechorus / chorus
and the pain won't leave me
don't leave me
i miss you here

your echo's destroying my walls
(wreckage of reality in the path i see, it's killing me, it's all too late)
your echo gets louder; i fall
(it's a loss of the soul, and the lips growing cold; who am i to stay?)


~ verse 2
my windowless apartment
is cold and full of dust
not as if my senses have my trust
all the memories only islands
i just hope i don't wake up
everything i do is always fucked (always fucked)
(
and it's so hard to see your fate as out of place
never to erase all the pain you faced
and it's so hard to know the world could turn
while your heart is so burned, now
the fire has spread upon your death
)


~ prechorus / chorus 2
and the pain won't leave me
don't leave me
i miss you here

your echo's destroying my walls
(wreckage of reality in the path i see, it's killing me, it's all too late)
your echo gets louder; i fall
(it's a loss of the soul, and the lips growing cold, who am i to stay?)


~ bridge / break (
feeling your echo, i make new a wish
that one day i will be beyond this shit
feeling your echo, i sense my chance
to finally let go and let you rest
)
the midnight air is clear
your echo sounds from somewhere, now
i'll follow you, dear


~ chorus 3
your echo's destroying my walls
(wreckage of reality in the path i see, it's killing me, it's all too late)
your echo gets louder; i fall
(it's a loss of the soul, and the lips growing cold, who am i to stay?)

your echo's destroying my walls
(wreckage of reality in the path i see, it's killing me, it's all too late)
your echo gets louder; i fall
(it's a loss of the soul, and the lips growing cold, who am i to stay?)

i'll die inside a dream

@TheWildScarletRose

I am very sad I hadn't discovered this song when I was a teenager, along with "Revolution" and "Neustart".It completely describes my condition back then and I think if I did, it would have helped me to get over it..."Dein Echo" is desperation transformed into a song!
