[Intro: JT Cavey]
Lost within the dream
Wake up
[Verse 1: JT Cavey]
Last rites spoken in pantomime
The watcher stands unwavering
Dictating actions that follow at his will
All the while bound to his throne
Every moment kneels at his feet
Steadfast, unfluctuating
There is no hesitation
And if you ask, I will follow
[Chorus: JT Cavey]
With your hands, place grace upon me
So I may not be forgotten
Forging pages of hopes and dreams
For the story I have written
[Post-Chorus: JT Cavey]
This won't dissipate uneasiness
But grant me strength in times of sorrow
[Verse 2: JT Cavey]
This time I wasted carelessly
Stood by and watched it sink
These walls closing in on mе
All the while I sulk and weep
The facе of the watcher looks away
This weight of disappointment is crushing
No second glance passed on me
Every moment I've wasted
Chasing infatuations already fading
So I plead, "Remember my name"
[Chorus: JT Cavey]
With your hands, place grace upon me
So I may not be forgotten
Forging pages of hopes and dreams
For the story I have written
[Verse 3: JT Cavey]
The watcher's pendulum swings (it swings)
In the wake of everlasting
Final breaths intonate and sing (they sing)
Departing swift in a moment's passing
This won't dissipate uneasiness
But grant me strength in times of sorrow
[Outro: JT Cavey]
Lost within the dream
Wake up
Lost within the dream
Eidolon was written by Jesse Cash & Alex Ballew & JT Cavey.
Eidolon was produced by Grant McFarland & Carson Slovak.
“Eidolon” is about the “end of your days”, in a way that is regretful. There are tons of euphemisms for time and clocks throughout the song. The idea is that you have spent your time poorly and you are now filled with sorrow. Kind of like you didn’t have your priorities in the right spot.
