Echo
Crusher-P ft. Megpoid Gumi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

THE CLOCK STOPPED TICKING
FOREVER AGO
HOW LONG HAVE I BEEN UP?
I DON'T KNOW

I CAN'T GET A GRIP, BUT I CAN'T LET GO
THERE WASN'T ANYTHING TO HOLD ON TO, THOUGH
WHY CAN'T I SEE?
WHY CAN'T I SEE?
ALL THE COLORS THAT YOU SEE?

PLEASE CAN I BE
PLEASE CAN I BE
COLORFUL AND... FREE?

WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON? CAN SOMEONE TELL ME PLEASE?
WHY I'M SWITCHING FASTER THAN THE CHANNELS ON TV?

I'M BLACK THEN I'M WHITE
NO! SOMETHING ISN'T RIGHT!
MY ENEMY'S INVISIBLE I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIGHT

THE TREMBLING FEAR IS MORE THAN I CAN TAKE
WHEN I'M UP AGAINST THE ECHO IN THE MIRROR

ECHO

I'm gonna burn my house down into an ugly black
I'm gonna run away now and never look back

I'm gonna burn my house down into an ugly black
I'm gonna run away now and never look back

I'm gonna burn my house down into an ugly black
I'm gonna run away now and never look back

I'm gonna burn my house down into an ugly black
I'm gonna run away now and never look back

I'm gonna burn my house down and never look back
and never look back
AND NEVER LOOK BACK

WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON? CAN SOMEONE TELL ME PLEASE?
WHY I'M SWITCHING FASTER THAN THE CHANNELS ON TV?

I'M BLACK THEN I'M WHITE
NO! SOMETHING ISN'T RIGHT!
MY ENEMY'S INVISIBLE I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIGHT

WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON? CAN SOMEONE TELL ME PLEASE?
WHY I'M SWITCHING FASTER THAN THE CHANNELS ON TV?

I'M BLACK THEN I'M WHITE
NO! SOMETHING ISN'T RIGHT!
MY ENEMY'S INVISIBLE I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIGHT

THE TREMBLING FEAR IS MORE THAN I CAN TAKE
WHEN I'M UP AGAINST THE ECHO IN THE MIRROR





THE TREMBLING FEAR IS MORE THAN I CAN TAKE
WHEN I'M UP AGAINST THE ECHO IN THE MIRROR

Overall Meaning

Crusher-P's song "ECHO" is a powerful commentary on the struggles of mental health and identity. The lyrics paint a portrait of a person who is lost in their thoughts, unable to grasp reality and struggling to hold on to their sense of self. The clock has stopped ticking, time has lost its meaning, and the singer is unable to find anything to hold on to. They question why they cannot see the world as others do, and long to be colorful and free like others seem to be. Yet, they find themselves constantly shifting between black and white, unable to truly understand themselves or their surroundings.


The singer feels like they are fighting an invisible enemy that they do not know how to fight. The trembling fear of not understanding themselves or their identity is too much to bear, especially when confronted with their own reflection in the mirror. The repetition of the word "echo" throughout the song serves as a haunting reminder of how our own thoughts and fears can bounce around in our minds, amplifying negative emotions and making it difficult to find peace.


The final stanza, where the singer says they will burn their house down and run away, symbolizes the desire to escape from their problems and start anew. However, the repetition of the line "I'm gonna run away now and never look back" suggests the singer knows that running away will not solve their problems, but they are so overwhelmed that it seems like the only option.


Overall, "ECHO" is a chillingly relatable exploration of mental health struggles, the search for identity, and the battles we face internally on a daily basis.

The clock stopped ticking forever ago
How long have I been up ? I don't know
I can't get a grip , but I can't let go
There wasn't anything to hold on to ,tho

Why can't I see
Why can't I see ?
All the colors
That you see ?

Please can I be
Please can I be ?
Colorful and free ?

What the hell's going on ?!
Can someone tell me please
Why I'm switching faster than the channels on TV ?

I'm black , then I'm white
No , something isn't right !
My enemy's invisible , I don't know how to fight

The trembling fear is more then I can take
When I'm up against
The echo in the mirror

ECHO

I'm gonna burn my house down
Into an ugly black
I'm gonna run away now
And never look back

I'm gonna burn my house down
Into an ugly black
I'm gonna run away now
And never look back

I'm gonna burn my house down
Into an ugly black
I'm gonna run away now
And never look back

I'm gonna burn my house down
Into an ugly black
I'm gonna run away now
And never look back

I'm gonna burn my house down
And never look back
And never look back
And never look back !

What the hell's going on ?!
Can someone tell me please
Why I'm switching faster than the channels on TV ?

I'm black , then I'm white
No , something isn't right !
My enemy's invisible , I don't know how to fight

What the hell's going on ?!
Can someone tell me please
Why I'm switching faster than the channels on TV ?

I'm black , then I'm white
No , something isn't right !
My enemy's invisible , I don't know how to fight

The trembling fear is more then I can take
When I'm up against
The echo in the mirror

The trembling fear is more then I can take
When I'm up against
The echo in the mirror

A colorblind person trying to find and kill a spider in their room

“I’m black then I’m white”
“My enemy’s invisible I don’t know how to fight”
“The trembling fear is more than I can to”
“I’m gonna burn my house down”
“I’m gonna run away now”

Hmm
