Original song (C) Oden Eriksson

ECHO OFF

Verse 1
I wrapped myself in fading light
I called the crash a kind of flight
I held a war beneath my grin
I let the stillness pull me in
I gave my breath to keep the show
And danced along with what they know
But silence fell like rising flood
I found the rhythm in my blood

Pre-Chorus
I broke the clock
Let time dissolve
The static lost its weight
And I evolved

Chorus
So I shut it down, the pulse, the spin
Stepped outside the painted skin
There’s no signal left to chase
Just the echo of my grace
The echo’s done
Now I begin

Verse 2
I climbed through days that felt like dust
Built out of smoke and fragile trust
But winds don’t bow to what we claim
They tear it down and leave no name
I drank the hush like holy wine
It filled the cracks I called “divine”
You drained the fire from my vein
But it's my blood to bleed again

Pre-Chorus 2
No floodlights now, no blinding daze
Just slipped beyond the spinning maze
The quiet came and found me whole
Then wrapped its arms around my soul

Chorus
So I shut it down, the pulse, the spin
Stepped outside the painted skin
There’s no stage and there’s no script
Just the fire in my lips
The echo’s done
Now I begin

Bridge
Talk is cheap, silence is gold
It gave me back the self I sold
No maps, no marks, no finish line
Just space enough to realign

Chorus – Soft Return
So I shut it down, the pulse, the spin
Stepped outside the painted skin
No machine can shape this form
I am thunder after storm
The echo’s done
Now I begin

Chorus – Mid Reclaim
I shut it down, I cracked the glass
Walked through stillness made to last
No applause can name this flame
I return with no one’s name
The echo’s done
Now I begin

Final Chorus – Full Power
So I shut it down, the pulse, the spin
Stepped outside the painted skin
No more filters, no disguise
Only truth behind these eyes
The echo’s done
Now I begin
