Midnight fills the room
Shadows stretch across the floor
The city sleeps outside
But I still hear your voice
Your coffee cup remains
Where you left it that last day
I tell myself to move it
But somehow it still stays
The curtains barely move
In the restless evening air
Every corner of this house
Reminds me you were there
I keep reaching through the dark
For a hand that's disappeared
Holding onto memories
That slowly reappear
The echoes stay
Long after you're gone
Calling my name
When the night comes on
The echoes stay
Inside every wall
I thought time would fade them
But they survive it all
Oh oh
I still hear the sound
Oh oh
Of you around
The echoes stay
The echoes stay
The echoes stay
The hallway feels alive
With footsteps that are not there
A thousand little ghosts
Floating through the air
I know it's just my mind
Playing tricks again tonight
But every fading memory
Feels painfully alive
Every silence feels too loud
Every room becomes a sea
And I keep drifting farther
From who I used to be
The echoes stay
Long after you're gone
Calling my name
When the night comes on
The echoes stay
Inside every wall
I thought time would fade them
But they survive it all
If I close my eyes
You're standing near
Then morning comes
And you disappear
The echoes stay
Long after you're gone
Like distant lights
Before the break of dawn
The echoes stay
Inside every room
Following me slowly
Through the quiet gloom
Oh oh
The echoes stay
Oh oh
They never fade

The Echoes Stay
aokiemi
Before The Dawn Arrives is an album about the quiet hours of living alone.
After gaining freedom, we often discover something unexpected: silence. There is joy in having a life of our own, yet moments of loneliness and uncertainty can still appear in the middle of the night.
Through EDM and pop sounds, these songs explore midnight conversations with ourselves, empty rooms filled with memories, lingering echoes of the past, and the small but persistent hope that appears before sunrise.
Freedom and loneliness often exist side by side. This album does not try to choose between them-it simply listens to both. If these songs can keep someone company during a sleepless night, then they have found their purpose.
