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
