Echo of My Shadow Lyrics
- Lyrics
- Meaning
[Verse 1]
If I stay here any longer, I will stay here forever
And the echo of my world will fade
Will the edge of my sorrow be gone in the morning?
I know
[Chorus]
Stay right here, stay in the light, my dear
Until the love you crave falls in your arms, ooh
I know your mind moves like a wave sometimes
If you can't rise for us, do it for love, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 2]
If my life is just a moment and this world is ancient
Then the light through my window will fade
Young mountains, old rivers, I let them become me
Right now
[Chorus]
Stay right here, stay in the light, my dear
Until the love you crave falls in your arms, ooh
I know your mind moves like a wave sometimes
If you can't rise for us, do it for love
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Outro]
If I stay here any longer, I will stay here forever
Till the echo of my shadow is gone
There are heroes within us, there are lovers around us
They will be here forever, I know
I know, I know
I know
[Verse 1] expresses a concern about the passage of time and the possibility of becoming emotionally stuck. The notion that the echo of her world might fade indicates a fear of losing her sense of self or identity if she remains stagnant. The reference to the edge of her sorrow possibly disappearing by morning implies hope that pain is temporary and can be overcome with time.
[Chorus] offers advice to stay firm and positive until the desired love arrives. The imagery of the mind moving like a wave highlights the fluctuating nature of thoughts and emotions. The plea to rise for love, even if one cannot do it for oneself, emphasizes the importance of connection and affection during difficult times.
[Verse 2] reflects on the fleeting nature of human life contrasted with the ancient world. The light through the window symbolizes beauty and hope, which, though temporary, leave a lasting impact. By allowing young mountains and old rivers to become part of her, AURORA suggests a merging with the eternal natural world and an acceptance of its perpetual cycle.
[Outro] reiterates the theme of time and permanence. The line about staying until the echo of her shadow fades suggests an acceptance of the inevitable disappearance of all things. Mentioning heroes and lovers who will always be present implies that while individual life is fleeting, the actions and connections we form have a lasting and continuous impact.
