Lyrics #3902
Echoes of Yesterday
A reflective R&B ballad that builds to an uplifting groove, detailing the journey of overcoming past limitations and finding strength in newfound freedom.
[Intro]
(Mahira) Mmm... used to feel that way...
(River) But not anymore.
[Verse 1]
(Mrya) Remember whispers in the dark, pullin' at my soul?
Tried to tell me who to be, tried to take control.
(Joey) Felt the weight of expectations, heavy on my mind
Leavin' parts of me behind, the true self hard to find.
[Pre-Chorus]
(Freya) But somethin' shifted in the silence, a gentle, steady hum
(Mahira) Knew it was time to let go, for a brand new day to come.
[Chorus]
(All, soulful harmonies, gradually building intensity)
Oh, those echoes of yesterday, they don't hold me anymore (River: No more!)
Found my strength to break away, kicked down every door (Joey: Every single door!)
Washed clean by the rain, healed from every pain, standin' here so bright (Mrya: So bright!)
This ain't just relief, it's pure belief, bathed in brand new light (Freya: New light, yeah!)
Yeah, no more shadows hidin', just pure freedom guidin'! (Mahira: Guidin' us through!)
[Post-Chorus]
(All) Yesterday's gone, yeah!
(River) Just us now!
(Joey) So free!
[Verse 2]
(River) Used to carry burdens, heavy as a stone
Tried to please the crowd, but felt so all alone.
(Mahira) But a fire sparked within me, deep inside my core
Said 'this ain't your story, darling, you deserve so much more.'
[Pre-Chorus]
(Joey) That quiet spark ignited, into a radiant flame
(Mrya) Knew I had to speak my truth, call out my own name.
[Chorus]
(All, soulful harmonies, more powerful)
Oh, those echoes of yesterday, they don't hold me anymore (Mahira: Never again!)
Found my strength to break away, kicked down every door (Freya: Every single door!)
Washed clean by the rain, healed from every pain, standin' here so bright (River: So bright!)
This ain't just relief, it's pure belief, bathed in brand new light (Joey: New light, yeah!)
Yeah, no more shadows hidin', just pure freedom guidin'! (Mrya: Guidin' us through!)
[Bridge]
(Freya) Remember all those moments, when we felt so small and weak?
(Mrya) Now we're standin' side by side, the courage that we speak
(Joey) Every scar a story, every tear a lesson learned
(River) This journey wasn't easy, but the tide has finally turned
(Mahira) (Harmony with all) We rose from the ashes, stronger than before, yeah!
[Chorus]
(All, full power, adlibs)
Oh, those echoes of yesterday, they don't hold me anymore (Joey: No, they don't!)
Found my strength to break away, kicked down every door (River: Kicked 'em all down!)
Washed clean by the rain, healed from every pain, standin' here so bright (Mahira: So bright, so bright!)
This ain't just relief, it's pure belief, bathed in brand new light (Freya: Brand new light, yeah!)
Yeah, no more shadows hidin', just pure freedom guidin'! (Mrya: Guidin' us, guidin' us through!)
[Outro]
(All, fading with adlibs)
Yesterday's gone... (Mahira: Yeah)
Pure freedom... (River: So good, so good)
Guiding... (Joey: Guiding us home)
(Freya) No more shadows... (Mrya: Never again)
(All) Fades out... with echoes... of yesterday... gone...
(Mahira) Mmm... used to feel that way...
(River) But not anymore.
