Echo Chamber
Alex Wilson
Description
A haunting singer-songwriter piece exploring the suffocating experience of being trapped in an 'echo chamber' of obsessive thoughts after a fractured relationship. Alex Wilson's raw vocals and minimalist instrumentation capture the internal turmoil and struggle to break free from cyclical thinking and lingering memories, highlighting the isolation and emotional fatigue that comes with overanalyzing past interactions.
Lyrics
[Verse 1] Thoughts bouncing off the walls, Your name in every call. Round and round, no escape, In this mind, I reshape. What you said, what I heard, Twisted up, every word. Silence screams in the void, Overanalyzed, destroyed. [Pre-Chorus] Trapped inside, can't break free, Echoes consuming me. [Chorus] Walls closing in, your voice on repeat, Echoes of you, but we're incomplete. Round and round in my mind's cage, Turning the page, but stuck in rage. Silent screams in the quiet night, No end in sight, hold tight. Break the loop, find the door, But I hear you more and more. [Verse 2] Questions swirl like a storm, What was real, what was warm? Replay scenes frame by frame, Driving me insane, the same. Your laugh echoes in my ear, Drawing near, then disappear. Locked in this chamber so tight, Losing the fight, every night. [Pre-Chorus] Trapped inside, can't break free, Echoes consuming me. [Chorus] Walls closing in, your voice on repeat, Echoes of you, but we're incomplete. Round and round in my mind's cage, Turning the page, but stuck in rage. Silent screams in the quiet night, No end in sight, hold tight. Break the loop, find the door, But I hear you more and more. [Bridge] (Whispered overlaps build) Echo, echo, fade away, Let me see the light of day. No more prison in my head, Words unsaid, lay them dead. Step out, breathe the air, Leave the chamber bare. Is there a future beyond this, Or will I always miss your kiss? [Chorus] Walls closing in, your voice on repeat, Echoes of you, but we're incomplete. Round and round in my mind's cage, Turning the page, but stuck in rage. Silent screams in the quiet night, No end in sight, hold tight. Break the loop, find the door, But I hear you more and more. [Outro] Echo chamber, set me free... Fade away, let me be. (Fade to silence)
