Echorift - Elysium Lost Lyrics

[Intro]
In the soft glow of dusk, when colors slip away,
Chasing wild dreams, where the night takes sway.
Shadows sway gently, under this fading light,
The skyline holds feelings, both heavy and bright.

[Verse 1]
We used to dream big, lit up by our fire,
Lost in the rhythm, fueled by our desire.
Moments that sparkled drift like dust in the wind,
Now just shadows of love that have slightly thinned.
Our tunes float softly in this hazy night,
With our voices together we reached such heights.
Echoes keeps whispering where love used to live,
These sunlit streets recognize all we could give.

[Chorus]
Where's that paradise that seemed like it'd stay?
Chasing illusions that just couldn't play.
Hunting for fragments of those brighter days,
Trailing my shadows until they fade away.
Hidden bruises cloaked in faded memories,
A restless heart hums those haunting melodies,
Searching for visions, even though they're far,
Reality pulls, leaving a deep scar.

[Verse 2]
Memories pulse strong; they unravel my soul,
Finding peace in the smiles, yet feeling not whole.
Craving connection, trust traded for pain,
That sweet harmony dimmed with too much rain.
Built those glass walls, held the hurt too close,
Yearnings unite us but sometimes they ghost.
What really counts when you strain to succeed,
In this tricky race, just trying to breathe?

[Bridge]
As night hangs low, dreams wake from their glow,
Unasked questions unfold, revealing hope we can grow.
Will we dare lift the veils of complicit disguise?
While feelings pour out from familiar lies.
Holding on tightly, we'll find our own light,
Searching for comfort in the dead of the night.
Feel all the fears wrapped around what we crave,
Can we decode all that's conscious yet brave?

[Chorus (reprise)]
A paradise tangled still hasn't faded,
Bright yet chilly, screams of life unabated.
But wrapped in these chains, I'm learning to break,
Releasing those truths that my heart now will take.
Though lost in quick flashes of shimmering sparks,
Chasing quiet hopes-just a waltz through the dark.
With stars that feel inching just out of grasp,
Living between hope and despair's soft clasp.

[Outro]
As twilight keeps speaking, the storms find their peace,
Appreciating this journey, may this tension release.
Within the stories I'm feeling, a mystery wakes,
Learning from loss, freedom quietly shakes.
No more chasing shadows hidden from sight,
Painting stories across this life so bright.
Remember our tale-gritty yet defined,
With each heartbeat, I'm finding my truth redefined.
So let's turn the page and let the struggles dance free,
For what blooms rare in life sometimes comes unexpectedly.
