Lyric

False Echoes

Project FAWN

I learned the lessons, I memorized the lines

They told me the sequence, they pointed out the signs

Everything was certain, clear as morning light

But the shadows started shifting, stealing out my sight

Now I hear the echoes, but they sound like lies

A chorus of whispers, under hollow skies

Is this the truth I’ve been living for?

Or just the rattle of a closing door?

The signal is fading, the rhythm is wrong

Is this my voice, or a phantom song?

I traced the patterns etched into the floor

But the door I opened isn't there anymore

The logic was solid, the ink was all dry

But now there’s a flicker of doubt in my eye

I’m parsing the syntax of things I once knew

The color is fading from red into blue

Was it a vision, or just a mistake?

How much of this surface is starting to break?

Now I hear the echoes, but they sound like lies

A chorus of whispers, under hollow skies

Is this the truth I’ve been living for?

Or just the rattle of a closing door?

The signal is fading, the rhythm is wrong

Is this my voice, or a phantom song?

They said be rational, keep the pieces in place

But there’s no symmetry left in this hollow space

Was I ever the one who decided the tone?

Or am I just repeating what I’ve never known?

Now I hear the echoes, but they sound like lies

A chorus of whispers, under hollow skies

Is this the truth I’ve been living for?

Or just the rattle of a closing door?

The signal is fading, the rhythm is wrong

Is this my voice, or a phantom song?

    Silent Core

    Project FAWN

"Order," attempting to govern the world through rigid frameworks of logic, "Chaos," eroding boundaries with uncontrollable impulse, and the inner "Rationalization" that seeks to justify one's actions. Broken Compass is a concept album structured around the dialogue and collision between these three incompatible forces.

The narrative unfolds through the entanglement of meticulously calculated digital soundscapes and emotive, human melodies. The compass that once provided a clear path eventually shatters under the weight of deception and internal conflict. Yet, it is in that very place--the core of silence known as the "Void"--that this album suggests true healing and forgiveness begin.

How you perceive the conclusion of this 34-minute, eight-track journey is left entirely to you as you immerse yourself in these soundscapes. What will you discover beyond the endless silence? We invite you to experience this solitary path and uncover your own answer.
