Echo
Alexe Gaudreault Lyrics

The lyrics to Alexe Gaudreault's song "Echo" communicate a sense of empowerment and self-reliance. The opening lines "Je n'écoute plus les mots, Ils ne me font plus écho" (I no longer listen to words, they no longer resonate with me) suggest that the singer has moved beyond meaningless rhetoric to find her own sense of purpose. She has turned her back on anything that doesn't support her own truth, and she's no longer bothered by the opinions of others. This newfound confidence is evident in the line "J'ai marché la tête haute" (I walked with my head held high). The singer has taken ownership of her mistakes and accepts them as part of her journey.

The chorus of the song ("Si haut, si haut, les cris sont étouffés, Si haut, si haut, rien ne me fait trembler, Si loin, si loin, je me suis évadée, Si haut, si haut, rien ne peut m'emporter") reinforces the message of self-reliance, repeating the idea that nothing can hold her down or distract her from her path. The repeated use of "si haut" (so high) underscores her sense of elevation and distance from what used to trouble her.

The final verse of the song ("J'ai voulu faire taire tous les échos, J'ai voulu faire écouter mes mots, J'ai voulu faire taire tous les échos" - I wanted to silence all the echoes, I wanted people to hear my words, I wanted to silence all the echoes) underscores the idea that the singer has moved beyond listening to other people's opinions and wants to make her voice heard. The song is a story of liberation, self-discovery, and self-realisation.
