Echo's Answer
Broadcast Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The wind has gone
The invisible come
Your memories are being run

The mountain scarred
By invisible bars
The stillness is on guard

Oh, the wind will come
Blow, answer echo's answer

The mountain mine
From invisible time
I am next in line

The message sent
Was of discontent
From incline to incline

Oh, the wind will come
Blow, answer echo's answer

The wind is near
The invisible hear
Come my thoughts away from fear

Oh, the wind will come
Blow, answer all these echo's

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Broadcast's song Echo's Answer are quite intriguing and seemingly cryptic, allowing for multiple interpretations. It appears as if the singer is addressing the wind and the invisible, which might represent powers beyond human comprehension or control. The absence of the wind is noted, and its return is awaited. The mountain is described as scarred by invisible bars, creating a sense of entrapment and stagnation. The stillness is personified as being on guard, guarding what is unclear.


In the second stanza, the mountain is shifted from being passive to being active- "the mountain mine." It is then followed by "I am next in line," suggesting the singer's place in the grand scheme of things. The message sent is of discontent, which could be interpreted as a nod to the societal or political situation. The inclination (slope) is repeated, creating a sense of movement, possibly from a downtrodden state to a more progressive one.


The final stanza brings hope, as the wind draws near, and the singer's thoughts are urged to move away from fear. The repetition of "answer echo's answer" possibly represents a cycle of action and reaction. The song leaves a lot of room for personal interpretation, which is an intrinsic quality of good music that stands the test of time.
