Echoes
Disclosure(디스클로저) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You were dishonest ever since we met
If I could count the times you told me with love in your voice
That you'd make an honest choice
Don't you remember anything that you said?
Forgot the memories that fell through the net
You go on and on
Don't you remember anything that you said?
Forgot the memories that fell through the net
You go on and on
I can sing along cause you're the echo that's in my head
Such repetition, cause for concern
I shouldn't listen, but I never learn
If I could count the times you told me with love in your voice
That you'd make an honest choice
That you'd make an honest choice
Don't you remember anything that you said?
Forgot the memories that fell through the net
You go on and on
I can sing along cause you're the echo that's in my head
Don't you remember anything that you said?
Forgot the memories that fell through the net
You go on and on
I can sing along cause you're the echo that's in my head
'Cause you're the echo that's in my head
'Cause you're the echo that's in my head
I've had, I've had enough
Tryna find the space to interrupt
I've had, I've had enough
All the different ways you hold me up
I've had, I've had enough
Tryna find the space to interrupt
I've had, I've had enough
All the different ways you hold me up
Me up, me up, me up, me up
Me up, me up, me up, me up
Don't you remember anything that you said?
Forgot the memories that fell through the net
You go on and on
I can sing along cause you're the echo that's in my head
Don't you remember anything that you said?
Forgot the memories that fell through the net
You go on and on
I can sing along cause you're the echo that's in my head
'Cause you're the echo that's in my head
'Cause you're the echo that's in my head
'Cause you're the echo that's in my head
'Cause you're the echo
'Cause you're the
'Cause you're
'Cause you're
'Cause you're the echo
'Cause you're
'Cause you're
'Cause you're
'Cause you're the echo
The lyrics to Disclosure's song "Echoes" seem to be about someone who is fed up with the lies and broken promises of another person. The first verse speaks of a promise that the person made but failed to keep. The singer is aware of the dishonesty right from their first encounter, but the other person always speaks with love in their voice. The repetition of the chorus is suggestive of the persistence of this person's voice in the singer's mind. They keep going on and on, reminding the singer of their broken promises, and the memories that have fallen through the net of their broken relationship.
The second verse suggests that the singer knows that they shouldn't listen to this person anymore, but something about their voice keeps drawing them in. The line, "I never learn," indicates that this has happened multiple times before. However, the chorus suggests that the singer is now at breaking point and is trying to find the space to interrupt the "echo" in their head.
Overall, the song seems to be about holding onto the memories of a person who has let you down. The echoes of their voice are still present in the mind of the singer, but they are trying to distance themselves and move forward. The song has a melancholic feel, but the beat still has an upbeat quality, perhaps hinting at the possibility of moving on.
