Cage of Echoes by echoXnova - Zona

Lyrics

[Verse 1 – female clean vocals, ruhig aber angespannt]

I gave my heart to everyone

’til nothing left belonged to me.

I fed the world with all I had,

and starved the parts I couldn’t see.

I learned to smile through shattered glass,

pretending I was built to please.

But every promise that I kept

became a lock without a key.

---

[Pre-Chorus – clean vocals, verzweifelte Steigerung]

I’m losing pieces of myself

inside the walls I built for help…

---

[Chorus – groß, episch, clean vocals + leichte layered screams]

I’m trapped inside a cage of echoes,

calling out but no one knows.

I lose my voice to save the rest —

and wear their weight across my chest.

I gave away what made me human,

until I faded into ruin.

But I won’t break for them again —

I’ll breathe for me

and rise again.

---

[Verse 2 – male screams + heavy guitars]

I bent my spine for every soul,

I let them carve into my bones.

I wore their fears like second skin,

and lost the place where I begin.

Dependence is a quiet chain,

it wraps your heart and steals your name.

You call it love, you call it care —

but damn, it leaves you fucking bare.

---

[Pre-Chorus – female vocals, mehr Power]

I’m finding pieces of myself,

buried deep beneath the shell…

---

[Chorus – voller, emotionaler]

I’m trapped inside a cage of echoes,

calling out but no one knows.

I lose my voice to save the rest —

and wear their weight across my chest.

I gave away what made me human,

until I faded into ruin.

But I won’t break for them again —

I’ll breathe for me

and rise again.

---

[Solo – melodisch, dramatisch, schwebend, beginnt clean & melancholisch, steigt in ein episches Lead, viel Reverb, letzter Ton bricht in Distortion, geht direkt in Breakdown]

---

[Breakdown – brutal, male screams, langsam & schwer]

YOU CAN’T OWN ME!

YOU WON’T BREAK ME!

I AM THE FIRE THEY TRIED TO TAME!

I SET MYSELF FREE —

UNLEASH THE REAL ME!

I’M NOT YOUR SHADOW, NOT YOUR CLAIM!

---

[Final Chorus – female clean + male scream duet, maximal episch]

I’m done with living for the echoes,

done with chains that no one knows.

I found my voice beneath the scars,

I found myself among the stars.

I gave away what made me human —

but now I rise above the ruin.

This time I won’t fade out again —

I breathe for me…

and live again.
