Echoes of Tomorrow share reflective metalcore ballad ‘Paper Skies’

Rising metalcore band Echoes of Tomorrow return with their latest single ‘Paper Skies’, an emotionally charged track that trades brute force for introspective weight. The song explores the difficult transition from youth to adulthood, when trust erodes, idealism dims, and the world begins to look different through older eyes.

Blending soaring clean vocals with weighty instrumentals and ambient textures, ‘Paper Skies’ leans into a more vulnerable side of the band. It avoids the genre’s typical aggression, opting instead for moments of fragility and space. The result is a slow-burning ballad that captures emotional survival in the face of disillusionment.

Lyrically, the track serves as a meditation on lost innocence, fading friendships, and the quiet realization that imagination may be the last safe place when the world begins to break your trust.

‘Paper Skies’ is a departure in tone but not in conviction, showcasing Echoes of Tomorrow’s ability to evolve emotionally and sonically while still staying rooted in the spirit of modern metalcore.
