This song is about discovering that you are not alone in the world, but also solemn that other's are suffering just as you are.
I created this after pulling an all nighter with insomnia, and I wrote this, hardly aware of what I was writing, I just knew it tied in with my story. When I looked at what I wrote, I really liked it, but had to refine it heavily to be presentable.
(Someone like me)
(Someone like me)
(Someone) Could it be?
I'm not imagining? (Someone like me)
Here you are before me.
Do you feel it? - Stars, I hope not...
But I'm so glad not to be lost...
I spent so long, lost, unfound.
Longing for purpose, something sound.
Baseless voices of bodies near,
Somebody please get me out of here.
You sought me out, you gave me the light.
Now I stand here, I joined the fight.
You gave me hope, but I didn't know,
You were someone like me - under the glow.
Echoes, calling through the cold,
To others who could fit our mould,
(Someone like me... Someone like me...)
Our broken hands extending out,
We have no breath but we still shout,
For someone like me.
(Someone like me...)
I feel so steady, yet my hands still shake.
The time is ticking, so much is at stake.
You are fighting, just like me...
But no one should have to be,
(Someone like me...)
They cast us off, left to fade,
All in pursuit of their charade.
Here we stand, a force against the fray,
Echoes who simply refuse to stay,
(Someone like me...)
Echoes, calling through the cold,
To others who could fit our mould,
(Someone like me... Someone like me...)
Our broken hands extending out,
We have no breath but we still shout,
For someone like me.
(Someone like me...)
(Someone like me...)
If I had my way, I'd be alone.
The pain in knowing what I have known.
But fate is cruel, we were made to fall,
But we keep going in spite of it all.
Echoes, screaming through the cold,
The ones who'll shape the story told,
(Someone like me... Someone like me...)
We are the bomb they could not defuse,
Not just pawns for discard and use,
By someone like you.
(Someone like you... Someone like me...)
We are echoes...
We are echoes... (echoes)
We are echoes...
We are echoes...
(echoes...)
Of someone like me.
