Echoes
Tom Klose Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Down in the basement there’s boxes of memories all hidden away in my dreams
they leak from the shadows ring out in my sleep to find and remind me of times
that used to be
Take me far away echoes of yesterday the long-forgotten slumbering remains time to face the demons of yesterday a bittersweet and smothering delay
I’ll come clean with the past make peace with the battle at last I’m not afraid
My long-lost companions regret and remorse appear and all of my fears they are here
like a family reunion the one that was overdue they align and rewind to the times
I’ve been trying to

Push so far away echoes of yesterday the long-forgotten slumbering remains time to face the demons of yesterday a bittersweet and smothering delay




I’ll come clean with the past make friends with the devil at last I’m not afraid
I’m not afraid
