The world keeps turning even after we’re gone Raindrops will fall, no need for anyone The faster, the better, humanity’s a plague We’re stuck in a loop, and counting the days The sun will still set, the stars burning out Clocks keep on ticking, but there’s nothing to count The future’s a lie, and the past doesn’t care Every step taken, it leads us nowhere Why live a life full of wasted potential Why tell the truth when it’s not what they want Why be a good person when good never works Mercy is met with a blade in return Why stand up for right when wrong is a winner Why bother smiling when everything’s a joke Why dream of the sky when you’re chained to the earth Mercy is met with a blade in return The waves coming in, try to wash us away Tides ever shifting, we simply stay in place The harder we work, the less we achieve We’re fighting for nothing, pretend to believe The streets might stop burning, but the blood never dries Ignoring the carnage, try as we might The future’s a lie, and the past doesn’t care Every step taken, it leads us nowhere Why live a life full of wasted potential Why tell the truth when it’s not what they want Why be a good person when good never works Mercy is met with a blade in return Why stand up for right when wrong is a winner Why bother smiling when everything’s a joke Why dream of the sky when you’re chained to the earth Mercy is met with a blade in return We’re born just to suffer, and die to be free Chasing a purpose that’s never been real This life’s but a cycle, we kill and we rape Still we keep marching, cause nothing’s at stake Why live a life full of wasted potential Why tell the truth when it’s not what they want Why be a good person when good never works Mercy is met with a blade in return Why stand up for right when wrong is a winner Why bother smiling when everything’s a joke Why dream of the sky when you’re chained to the earth Mercy is met with a blade in return Mercy is met with a blade in return
Female Acoustic Indie Folk
English
The lyrics evoke feelings of despair, frustration, and disillusionment. They convey a raw understanding of life's futility and explore themes of suffering, wasted potential, and societal failures, creating a sense of melancholy and introspection.
This song is suitable for contemplative situations, such as solitude or moments of reflection. It might resonate with listeners during times of personal struggle or political unrest, serving as a backdrop for deep thinking and emotional processing.
The song employs a straightforward lyrical structure with repetitive questioning that enhances its thematic concern. The use of vivid imagery and stark contrasts emphasizes the song's cynical outlook on humanity and life. The acoustic instrumentation typical of the female indie folk genre would complement the emotional weight of the lyrics, likely featuring a sparse arrangement to allow the vocals and message to take center stage.

I draw lines and mark where the rivers should bend And trace out the roads that I'll never descend A paper ocean, wrinkles and waves Godlike intentions, but frozen in place I chart constellations, connecting the stars A galaxy born, as the ink leaves a mark The compass spins, but I’m stuck on this page Set sail without movement, drifting in place A pen in my hand, and the lines overflow The tides keep on rising, but I’m stuck below Ships passing by, they don’t notice me calling I forget I’m in charge and that I’m the one stalling The horizon stretches, but it never grows near The winds whisper secrets I refuse to hear When one map is finished, I start off anew I’m dreaming up dreams that’ll never come true I paint the shadows where the mountains once stood And sketch every path that I’ll never pursue A paper sky, the colors don’t blend Lacking intention, a goal, or a plan I’ve thought up journeys, a million so far Though I’ve traced every line, there’s no path to embark The ink dries slowly, it never runs out A journey in drawings, but no steps to count A pen in my hand, and the lines overflow The tides keep on rising, but I’m stuck below Ships passing by, they don’t notice me calling I forget I’m in charge and that I’m the one stalling The horizon stretches, but it never grows near The winds whisper secrets I refuse to hear When one map is finished, I start off anew I’m dreaming up dreams that’ll never come true These maps are a prison I created myself I choose to stand still with no story to tell A paper-thin world that easily tares With intricate roads that lead me nowhere A pen in my hand, and the lines overflow The tides keep on rising, but I’m stuck below Ships passing by, they don’t notice me calling I forget I’m in charge and that I’m the one stalling The horizon stretches, but it never grows near The winds whisper secrets I refuse to hear When one map is finished, I start off anew I’m dreaming up dreams that’ll never come true I’m dreaming up dreams that’ll never come true

(Verse 1) Abang botak jaga sorum di pinggir jalan, Mobil bekas semua, tapi dijual dengan senyuman. Kepalanya licin, kinclong kayak beling, Katanya, “Beli mobil ini, dijamin gak pusing!” (Chorus) Abang botak sorum mobil bekas, Kepalanya mulus, dompetnya tebal jelas. Mobil tua jadi kelihatan keren, Dijual murah, tapi garansi belum tentu aman! (Verse 2) “Ini mobil bekas, tapi kayak baru!” Padahal mesin suka batuk, kalau di jalan mendadak ngadu. Abang botak bilang, “Ini mobil idaman,” Padahal pas ngerem, remnya malah jalan pelan-pelan. (Chorus) Abang botak sorum mobil bekas, Kepalanya mulus, gayanya pun keras. Mobil berkilat, harga miring katanya, Tapi di jalan, suka bikin deg-degan juga! (Bridge) Pelanggan datang, langsung disambut lebar, Katanya, “Bawa pulang aja, pasti jadi pilar!” Botak kinclong dan senyumnya lebar, Tapi pas nyoba jalan, knalpot malah ngebar! (Chorus) Abang botak sorum mobil bekas, Kepalanya mulus, dompetnya tebal jelas. Mobil tua jadi kelihatan keren, Meski suaranya mirip mesin mesin cuci mesin rusak! (Outro) Jadi kalau beli mobil di sorum si abang, Jangan lupa cek mesin, jangan cuma senang. Abang botak memang jualan dengan gaya, Mobil bekasnya legendaris di seluruh kota!
Verse 1: I’m standing still, but the world’s moving fast, Another cigarette, but it never seems to last, The city’s drowning in a neon haze, I’ve been running circles, lost in yesterday. Pre-Chorus: And you said we’d make it through the storm, But the skies are falling, and it’s not what we were warned, The silence screams, but no one hears, We’re all just waiting for the end of years. Chorus: Echoes in the rain, I hear your voice, but it’s never the same, We’re chasing shadows on the empty streets, Hoping we’ll find the light we’ll never meet, Echoes in the rain, We’re caught between love and the pain, We’re burning out, but we’re still alive, In the echoes, we’ll survive. Verse 2: I saw your face in the window last night, A flicker of hope in a world gone white, But you’ve slipped through my fingers like the mist, And the words we left unspoken still exist. Pre-Chorus: And you said it’s all part of the game, But now it feels like we’re drowning in the flames, All our dreams are crumbling like stone, I never thought I’d have to face this alone. Chorus: Echoes in the rain, I hear your voice, but it’s never the same, We’re chasing shadows on the empty streets, Hoping we’ll find the light we’ll never meet, Echoes in the rain, We’re caught between love and the pain, We’re burning out, but we’re still alive, In the echoes, we’ll survive. Bridge: Is there a way out, or are we just pretending? A thousand questions, but no happy endings, We’re spinning circles in a world so cold, But we’ll keep moving, ’cause we’re never sold. Chorus (Reprise): Echoes in the rain, I hear your voice, but it’s never the same, We’re chasing shadows on the empty streets, Hoping we’ll find the light we’ll never meet, Echoes in the rain, We’re caught between love and the pain, We’re burning out, but we’re still alive, In the echoes, we’ll survive. Outro: Echoes in the rain… We’ll survive, we’ll survive… Echoes in the rain…
