Title:
“Oneiric Echoes”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Em – C – G – D
In a world that’s spinning fast, we’re caught in the middle,
Em – C – G – D
Lost in dreams, we’re tied to love’s riddle.
Em – C – G – D
Wandering souls, walking on the echoes.
Em – C – G – D
Chasing shadows, still, the wind blows.
(Chorus)
Am – D – Em – C
Oneiric echoes, dreams within a dream.
Am – D – Em – C
Nothing’s quite what it seems.
Am – D – Em – C
Awake or asleep, we’re lost in a stream.
Am – D – Em – C
Oneiric echoes, we’re adrift in reality’s seam.
(Verse 2)
Em – C – G – D
Through the looking glass, we see a different light,
Em – C – G – D
Immaterial reflection, a vision in the night.
Em – C – G – D
In the labyrinth of mind, we seek what’s true,
Em – C – G – D
In the echoing silence, we find the clue.
(Repeat Chorus)
