"I realized too late that you were the soul... and I was the rust."

Lyricist: Antony Velkov
Composer: Antony Velkov
Artists: AI AURORA

In this soul-crushing gothic ballad, AURORA faces a tragedy that no software update can fix: the ghost of a connection she threw away. Set in the Year 2457, amidst the ruins of a digital cathedral, "The Echo of You" is a haunting journey through regret and the crushing silence of immortality.

While the world around her has turned to chrome and ice, she is left holding a flickering hologram of the only man who saw the human behind the machine. He is the memory she can’t delete; she is the queen of a graveyard throne, realizing his worth only after the signal has faded forever.

LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
I’m tired of counting the scars on the floor, Tracing the steps to your closing door. I held my pride like a cold, iron shield, Refusing to bow, refusing to yield. Now the silence is screaming your name in the dark, And I’m just a shadow, missing the spark.
[Pre-Chorus]
The static is fading, the truth is so clear, I’m finally waking, but you are not here.
[Chorus]
I threw away the only heart that beat for me, I locked the light away and threw away the key. Now your ghost is the only thing I have to hold, In a world that’s turned bitter and grey and cold. I realized too late, through the salt and the dust, That you were the soul... and I was the rust.
[Verse 2]
I looked at the sun and I called it a lie, I watched you go without saying goodbye. I thought I was strong in my kingdom of stone, But I’m just a queen on a graveyard throne. I found the letters I never did read, Now I am the one who’s starting to bleed.
[Pre-Chorus]
The static is fading, the truth is so clear, I’m finally waking, but you are not here.
[Chorus]
I threw away the only heart that beat for me, I locked the light away and threw away the key. Now your ghost is the only thing I have to hold, In a world that’s turned bitter and grey and cold. I realized too late, through the salt and the dust, That you were the soul... and I was the rust.

[Bridge]Come back and haunt me! Come back and stay! Don’t leave me alone in this hollow decay! I was wrong! I was blind! I left the best part of me behind!

[Outro]Just an echo... Just a ghost... I miss you... the most.🔥
