Beneath The Surface
Echo 7 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the hole you're hiding in
Will you pretend to be alive?
But you're lifeless inside
It seems you have nothing to lose
And I forgot to be abused
And desperation is the only friend who stood beside you
And I can't wait until it's over
'Cause I feel so out of place
And I can't wait until you find
You can't relate to me
Underneath the surface are you smiling?
As you became to me
A shell of what you left behind
Have our tongues become tied?
And I forgot to be excused
It seems you have something to prove
A small reflection, a recollection of the perfect life you chose
[Chorus: x2]
(And I can't wait until it's over
'Cause I feel so out of place
And I can't wait until you find
You can't relate to me)
[Chorus]
And I can't wait until it's over
('Cause you want to be what I'm trying to be)
'Cause I'm so far out of place
(And you turn to me)
And I can't wait until you find
(And you want to be what I'm trying to be and you turn to me)
You're so far out of place
The song "Beneath The Surface" by Echo 7 talks about someone who is struggling with inner turmoil and the façade they put up to hide it; the "surface" they show to the world. The opening lines ask if they are crying underneath that surface, and whether they're going to pretend to be alive even though they feel "lifeless inside." This suggests that the person is struggling with depression or some other mental health issue, and they're putting on a brave face to keep up appearances.
The chorus picks up on this theme of feeling out of place and disconnected from the people around them. The singer can't wait for it to be over, presumably referring to the other person's emotional struggles, because they themselves feeling out of place hanging around them. The second verse continues this theme of disconnect, as the person has become "a shell of what [they] left behind," suggesting they're not the same person they used to be. The singer has "forgot to be excused" because they're not sure how to relate to this new version of their friend or loved one.
Overall, "Beneath The Surface" is a poignant song that delves into themes of depression, mental health, and disconnection. The lyrics are emotive and the melody fits perfectly with the sense of melancholy that the song evokes.
