Echoes of Silence Lyrics

[Verse]
Talk to me, baby
Tell me what you're feeling
You say you don't need to go
Don't you pretend you didn't know
How all of this would end up?
Girl, I saw it in your eyes
And, baby, I can read your mind
And expectations were not in sight
You knew that talking dirty to me on the phone
Would get me here
'Cause we both wanted to do this
But I could tell that you were scared
'Cause you thought there was more to us
But you knew how this would end
It's gonna end how you expected
Girl, you're such a masochist
And I ask why

And you reply
I like the thrill
Nothing's gonna make me feel this real
So, baby, don't go home
I don't wanna spend tonight alone

Baby, please
Would you end your night with me?
Don't you leave me all behind
Don't you leave my little life
Don't you leave my little lie

[Outro]
Ooh, ooh
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
Ooh, ooh

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

A very melancholic yet powerful conclusion to the tape, The Weeknd presents the audience with a piercing question: is the girl the victim of this narrative, or is he?

When Trilogy was released, “Till Dawn (Here Comes the Sun)” replaced this track as the final Echoes of Silence song.
