Echoes of Silence

Story Behind The Song

I was watching the chatter between a couple in a cafe who seemed to be finding it difficult to find a common topic of interest to discuss so they stopped talking to each other and became distracted with their environment. Hence, what they hear from each other are echoes of silence.

Song Description

The song is about a couple who seem to be living in a fishbowl. On the outside everyone believes they are living the perfect life and are so happy together. From the inside the couple of slowly been drifting away from each other without really realizing it until one day they confront each other with this fact and realize the relationship has been over for a long time.

Lyrics

VERSE 1
DON'T JUDGE A DAY BY THE WEATHER
CAN'T TELL THE NIGHT BY THE DAY
WE SEEM TO BE GOOD TOGETHER
BUT INSTEAD WE DRIFT SO FAR AWAY

VERSE 2
DON'T KNOW A BOOK BY IT'S COVER
CAN'T TELL A SONG BY A PHRASE
WE HAD NO CLUE IT WAS OVER
WE GOT LOST IN A DEAD END MAZE

VERSE 3
WE TALKED IT UP AND TALKED IT DOWN
A RIVER OF TEARS FLOWING AROUND
SAD SONGS IN YOUR HEAD
AND I HEAR ECHOES OF SILENCE

CHORUS
IF I COULD HAVE CRIED YOUR TEARS
IF I COULD MAKE IT RIGHT
I WOULD GIVE UP A THOUSAND YEARS
TO HAVE YOU ONE MORE NIGHT

VERSE 4
WE USED TO BE FRIENDS AND LOVERS
BUT THINGS ARE FADING AWAY
IT SEEMS ALL OF A SUDDEN
THE MORE WE TALK THE LESS WE HAVE TO SAY

VERSE 5
WE'RE GIVING UP ON EACH OTHER
I KNOW WE FELT OUT OF PLACE
STARING AT ONE ANOTHER
HOPING FOR ONE LAST EMBRACE

VERSE 6
WE BROKE IT UP AND WE BROKE IT DOWN
A RIVER OF TEARS FLOWING AROUND
SAD THOUGHTS IN YOUR HEAD
AND I HEAR ECHOES OF SILENCE

CHORUS
(REPEAT AND FADE)
