Every Breath You Take
Ecko Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah... this right here (tell me why)
Goes out, to everyone, that has lost someone
That they truly loved (c'mon, check it out)

Seems like yesterday we used to rock the show
I laced the track, you locked the flow
So far from hangin on the block for dough
Notorious, they got to know that

Life ain't always what it seem to be (uh-uh)
Words can't express what you mean to me
Even though you're gone, we still a team
Through your family, I'll fulfill your dream (that's right)
In the future, can't wait to see
If you open up the gates for me

Reminisce some time, the night they took my friend (uh-huh)
Try to black it out, but it plays again

When it's real, feelings hard to conceal
Can't imagine all the pain I feel

Give anything to hear half your breath (half your breath)
I know you still living your life, after death
Every step I take, every move I make

Every single day, every time I pray
I'll be missing you
Thinkin of the day, when you went away
What a life to take, what a bond to break
I'll be missing you
I miss you Big
It's kinda hard with you not around (yeah)
Know you in heaven smilin down (eheh)
Watchin us while we pray for you
Every day we pray for you
Til the day we meet again
In my heart is where I'll keep you friend
Memories give me the strength I need (uh-huh) to proceed
Strength I need to believe
My thoughts Big I just can't define (can't define)
Wish I could turn back the hands of time
Us in the 6, shop for new clothes and kicks
You and me taking flicks
Makin hits, stages they receive you on
I still can't believe you're gone (can't believe you're gone)
Give anything to hear half your breath (half your breath)
I know you still living you're life, after death
Every step I take, every move I make(I miss you)
Every single day, every time I pray
I'll be missing you(yeah-yeah-yeah)
Thinkin of the day, when you went away(uuh-uuh)
What a life to take, what a bond to break
I'll be missing you
Somebody tell me why
On that morning
When this life is over
I know
I'll see your face
Every night I pray, every step I take
Every move I make, every single day
Every night I pray, every step I take(Every day that passes)
Every move I make, every single day(Is a day that I get closerTo seeing you again)
Every night I pray, every step I take(We miss you Big... and we won't stop)
Every move I make, every single day(Cause we can't stop... that's right)
Every night I pray, every step I take
Every move I make, every single day(We miss you Big)
Every step I take, every move I make(I miss you)
Every single day, every time I pray
I'll be missing you(yeah-yeah-yeah)
Thinkin of the day, when you went away(uuh-uuh)
What a life to take, what a bond to break
I'll be missing you. (I'll be missing you)
Every step I take(eeh-eeh), every move I make(aah-aah)
Every single day, every time I pray
I'll be missing you(I'll be missing you)
Thinkin of the day(thinking of the day), when you went away(uuh-uuh)
What a life to take, what a bond to break
I'll be missing you(I'll be missing you)
Every step I take(ooh-yeah), every move I make(cause the life is over)
Every single day, every time I pray
I'll be missing you(I'll be ok)
Thinkin of the day, when you went away(uuh-uuh)




What a life to take, what a bond to break
I'll be missing you

Damn, nostalgia really does hit you hard sometimes ...

BD val

i can stress how true this is, i came back from buying the groceries with my baby on me and i hear the tv playing this because yt was on autoplay. i genuinely remembered all the good times i used to spend during college times playing this game chilling on discord with instalock playing. such good memories...

This song has its usual 'explain what this character does with its skills' but the hook to the chorus and then the chorus always just gives me shivers. It's basically a message of 'If I don't get the result I want, I'll just try try again until it goes the way I want,' which is a pretty good message for life. "Don't give up if something doesn't go your way. Just keep trying, and eventually you'll get it."
