Waves and Echoes — Iustina

I didn’t plan to write Waves and Echoes.
It began as silence — a silence that wanted to move.
Somewhere between rhythm and stillness,
I found emotion turning into sound.

This isn’t just a song.
It’s what happens when truth dares to speak softly.

Every wave carries a fragment of emotion,
every echo is a memory finding its way back to light.

I wrote this for those who feel deeply,
for artists and dreamers who turn pain into movement,
and for the quiet souls who listen to the spaces between sounds.

Waves and Echoes belongs to everyone who has ever loved,
lost, and learned to let go through music.

— ✦ —

I don’t know how to answer “how I feel.”
But I know that I feel.

Logic disappears when emotion becomes language —
and all that remains is rhythm, movement,
and silence that trembles with meaning.

This song was born from stillness,
from two energies that met in quiet recognition —
one that speaks through touch,
and one that listens through courage.

Behind every beat lies a question unspoken,
behind every echo — a confession never said aloud.

I no longer tried to explain myself.
I simply felt.

Waves and Echoes is what happened
when truth met vulnerability —
and became sound.

Lyrics

Waves and Echoes

I see you drift away
And then you turn again
Like tides against the shoreline
You always find the way

Am I the harbor in your nights?
Or just a place where you can hide?
Every time you come back to me
I can’t read the reason why

You move in waves
I hear in echoes
Breaking apart
But still alive
You move in waves
I hear in echoes
Between the noise
Beneath the skies

You move in waves… I hear in echoes… echoes… echoes…

You burn but not to hurt me
Your breath still pulls me near
I close my eyes and hold it
The truth is never clear

Am I the harbor where you rest?
Or just a fleeting, passing sign?
Every time you circle back again
My heart forgets the line

You move in waves
I hear in echoes
Breaking apart
But still alive
You move in waves
I hear in echoes
Between the noise
Beneath the skies

Waves… echoes… waves… echoes…
You move in waves… I hear in echoes… echoes… echoes…

Through every storm
You always find me
You disappear
But you return each time

Through every storm, you always find me.

Thank You Love

I saw you in your hiding - a heart wrapped in silence. I felt your fear, and chose to meet it with light. Thank you for letting me touch the place where love and courage meet. You taught me that love without fear does not end - it transforms, and your light still lives within me.

Thank You Love

You spoke so fast, like running from the silence
A rush of words, no room for air to hide
I caught your breath, the tremble in between us
And in that space, I let my heart reply

A single word, so fragile but so true
It reached across the distance straight to you

THANK YOU - THANK YOU - LOVE!
For letting me inside
In the pause I found the door you tried to close
And in your voice, I heard the softness grow

Surprised by me, you didn’t see it coming
The phone revealed a truth you tried to hide
But when I spoke, your heartbeat found its balance
And your goodbye was colored by the light

It only takes a moment
A breath that feels like home
Two hearts that find each other
In silence not alone

THANK YOU - THANK YOU - LOVE!
My heart’s on fire tonight
Burning colors shining in your light
THANK YOU - THANK YOU - LOVE!
Waves and echoes true
The universe is brighter here with you

Safe in the breath between us…
Forever in the waves and colors…

After the Fire

You are not a fragment of the fire - you are the fire. Not a survivor of light, but the light remembering itself.

— ✦ —
After the fire

We fall.
We break.
We hide behind our shame.

But every wound is a window -
and every scar remembers the light.

I’ve seen faces turned to the ground,
hearts too tired to make a sound.
The weight of silence, heavy and real,
where dreams forget how to feel.

But even in ashes,
something breathes.
A spark -
waiting to be believed.

Don’t run from the fire.
It was never meant to burn you.
It came to show
what survives the flame.

After the fire - we rise again.
With broken voices, we begin.
No more shame, no fear, no end.
After the fire - we rise again.

There’s no weakness in the fall -
only the courage to admit it all.

We are not made of gold.
We are made of trying.

So when the night asks who you are,
say: I’m still here.

Say: I’m still fighting.

For the ones who lost their fire,
for the ones who forgot their names,
for the ones who gave their hearts to fear -
this is your call.

Rise.
Remember.
Burn again.

After the fire - we rise again.
Hands to sky, hearts to flame.
After the fire - we rise again.
Not for glory -
but for grace.

You are the fire.
You are the light.
You are the reason we rise tonight
