Echoes
Platform 55 Lyrics

Every day we get further from what really matters I'd say
As time goes on, we are drifting away from the things that are truly important in life.

I'm spending time with all those thoughts that always drive me away
I constantly find myself consumed by thoughts that distract and distance me from my true desires.

Another night like this would be enough to drive you insane
Experiencing another night filled with these thoughts and emotions would push someone to the brink of madness.

But if you would listen to me for once I'd be happy to explain
If only someone would truly listen to me, I would gladly provide an explanation for my feelings and experiences.

We brush on our makeup and dress all the way up, just to hide our shame
We go through elaborate efforts to present ourselves as flawless and put together, all in an attempt to conceal our feelings of guilt and inadequacy.

Cover up the blame
We try to shift the responsibility and avoid taking the blame for our actions or mistakes.

Another day, another dollar
Each day becomes a repetitive cycle of working to earn money, with little fulfillment or purpose.

Is it so wrong to stay inside?
Is it considered unacceptable or abnormal to prefer staying indoors rather than participating in social activities?

I want to hide from the blinding eyes
I desire to shield myself from the judgmental and overwhelming gazes of others.

Never alone, I'm always tied up in some maze inside my mind
I constantly feel entangled in a complex labyrinth of thoughts and emotions, never truly finding solitude or peace.

I hear the echoes of what they've done
I am haunted by the lingering repercussions of the actions and influence of others.

Always feeling like I wanna be someone
I perpetually experience a yearning to be someone significant or to make a meaningful impact.

This road we're walking is covered with their footprints
The path we navigate in life is marked by the footsteps and choices of those who came before us.

Sinking quicker every day
The feeling of sinking or deteriorating grows more intense with each passing day.

They say dreams are dead or is all that just in my head?
There is a belief or message that dreams and aspirations are no longer attainable, but I question whether this notion is merely a product of my own thoughts.

Thoughts like weights pushing me into my bed
Heavy thoughts and concerns weigh heavily on my mind, causing me to feel mentally and emotionally exhausted.

So why are we here if we're living to impress?
If our sole purpose in life is to seek validation and admiration from others, then what is the true meaning of our existence?

Thinking 'bout others always adding to the stress
Constantly worrying about the opinions and judgments of others only serves to intensify the stress and pressure I feel.

Never was one to be so outrun
I have never been the type of person who can easily escape or outrun their challenges and struggles.

And as I sink I think I've lost my fight
As I find myself sinking deeper into despair, I feel as though I have lost the determination and will to keep fighting.

Am I too far to turn back tonight?
I question whether I have gone too far down this path of self-destruction, beyond the point of being able to course-correct.

And I try to climb but I'm falling still
Despite my efforts to rise above my struggles, I continue to find myself descending and failing.

My nails dig into the ground they won't fit the bill
I grasp onto whatever I can, desperately trying to hold on, but it seems that my efforts are insufficient and won't fulfill the expectations.

And as I slide to my humble demise
I feel myself slipping further into a state of defeat and failure, losing any sense of pride or self-worth.

You might shine me light but you won't hear me fight
Even if someone offers me support or encouragement, they may be unaware of the internal struggle and resistance I am facing.

Is it so wrong to stay inside?
Is there something inherently negative or undesirable about choosing to remain within the confines and comfort of one's own solitude?

I want to hide from the blinding eyes
I yearn to shield myself from the overwhelming and penetrating gazes of others, which can be blinding and disorienting.

Never alone, I'm always tied up
I constantly feel bound and entangled by external expectations and societal pressures, never truly experiencing freedom or independence.

In some maze inside my mind
Within the depths of my own thoughts and emotions, I find myself trapped within a complex labyrinth without a clear path forward.

In some maze
Within the intricate web of my own mind, I am lost and confused, struggling to find my way out.

I hear the echoes of what they've done
I am haunted by the reverberating consequences and effects of the actions and choices made by others.

Never was one to be so outrun
I have never been the type of person who can easily escape or surpass the challenges and obstacles I face.

And as I sink I think I've lost my fight
As I continue to descend deeper into despair, I begin to believe that I have lost the determination and strength to keep persevering.

Am I too far to turn back tonight?
I question whether I have reached a point of no return, where it is too late to change course and find a way out of this dark place.

And I try to climb but I'm falling still
Despite my efforts to rise above my struggles, I find myself continually descending and failing to make progress.

My nails dig into the ground they won't fit the bill
I desperately grasp onto anything within reach, but my efforts are ultimately inadequate and unable to meet the expectations placed upon me.

And as I slide to my humble demise
I feel myself slipping further into a state of defeat and failure, losing any sense of pride or self-worth.

You might shine me light but you won't hear me fight
Even if someone offers me support or tries to illuminate a path forward, they may not truly understand the internal battles and resistance I am facing.

Is it so wrong to stay inside?
Is there something inherently negative or undesirable about choosing to remain within the safety and comfort of one's own solitude?

I want to hide from the blinding eyes
I long to shield myself from the overwhelming and blinding judgment of others, whose critical gazes can be disorienting and oppressive.

Never alone, I'm always tied up, tied up, tied up
I continually feel bound and restricted by external expectations and societal pressures, never truly experiencing freedom or autonomy.

In some maze inside my mind
Within the intricate and convoluted corridors of my own thoughts and emotions, I find myself trapped and lost, unable to find a clear path forward.

In some maze
Within the confusing labyrinth of my own mind, I am disoriented and bewildered, struggling to find my way out of this state of mental entanglement.

In some maze inside my mind
Within the intricate and complex network of my own thoughts and emotions, I feel trapped and unable to find a straightforward route to clarity and peace.

In some maze
Lost within the bewildering maze of my own mind, I struggle to navigate the twists and turns, searching for a way to escape and find inner peace.
