Echoes
Another Now Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everyone is witness for what comes next
This offer brought for collective good
Continue to pull the sun in the sky
Now it's my turn
Let my people pick the fruits
Deliver me and please provide
Thousands of voices yelling for blood
The flint reflects and blinds my sight
Thousands of voices yelling for blood
Carve out my heart and bring us the light
Let the blood flow
Facing my fate behind the black mask
My death will echo
The collar scours
Splinters force their way through the skin
No matter efforts of my tongue
I can't resist the many
The smell of uselessness I can't describe
Nor will I ever forget
On the edge of oblation against my will
End my presence quick and curse your future
Realise, sight fades to eternal black
Thousands of voices yelling for blood
The flint reflects and blinds my sight
Thousands of voices yelling for blood
Carve out my heart and bring us the light
Let the blood flow
Facing my fate behind the black mask
My death will echo
This polarity will remain
Welcome to the great divide
This world needs saving
The contradictions we face
Black, white and grey
Spread in different shapes
Keeping a distance is the beginning of our demise
We should be allies
Gravity pull us together
This earth is ours
My death will echo
The lyrics of "Echoes" by Another Now depict a scene where the singer finds themselves in a position of power, as they walk up the steps blinded by the sun. They are aware of the anticipation and attention from everyone around them, waiting to see what they will do next. There is an offer on the table, a chance for collective good, and they feel the responsibility to continue working hard to bring light and progress to the world.
The chorus reveals a darker twist to the story. The singer becomes aware of the intense clamor for blood, symbolizing the intense demands and expectations placed upon them. The flint reflecting and blinding their sight signifies the overwhelming pressure. Despite their internal struggle, they accept their fate, knowing that their death will have an impact that will resonate and echo. It seems that sacrifice is necessary for the greater good, even though it may be against their will.
The lyrics then shift towards a recognition of the contradictions and divisions present in the world. The singer acknowledges the need for unity and cooperation, emphasizing that keeping a distance from one another is the root of our demise. They speak of gravity pulling us together and claim that this earth belongs to all of us. Ultimately, their death will echo, serving as a reminder of their sacrifice and the urgent need to come together as allies.
Overall, "Echoes" explores themes of leadership, sacrifice, and the importance of unity in a divided world. It highlights the struggles and temptations faced by those in positions of power and the burdens they carry for the sake of progress and collective good.

Manifesting in various forms and patterns
Keeping a distance is the beginning of our demise
Straining our connections initiates our downfall
We should be allies
We ought to unite and work together
Gravity pull us together
The force of attraction brings us in union
This earth is ours
We possess responsibility and ownership over this planet
My death will echo
The impact of my passing will reverberate
