Echoes
Far From Brooklyn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where have you been since the last time that we shook eachothers hands
Been waiting for your call
But the only sound that I've been hearing is the echoes
The echoes
Somehow I always end up being in a awkward situation
Then I try
not to fall apart
The echoes
I miss your sense of humor
and the songs we used to sing
The nights were filled with whiskey
and the joy that whiskey brings
Although seven years has passed
somehow it still feels like yesterday
Hear me now
I'm all alone in a middle of a crossroad
Need you by my side
I'm searching for an answer in the echoes
The echoes
The echoes
The lyrics to Far From Brooklyn's song "Echoes" seem to be written from the perspective of someone who is reaching out to an old friend who they haven't spoken to in a long time. They express disappointment and frustration that they haven't received a call from their friend, and instead have only been hearing the "echoes" of their own voice.
The singer seems to be in a difficult situation, feeling alone and searching for answers. They express a longing for the past, reminiscing about the good times they had with their friend, including their shared sense of humor and love of singing and drinking together. The phrase "the joy that whiskey brings" implies a certain level of nostalgia and fondness for the reckless abandon of youth.
Despite the passing of seven years, the singer still feels the same way they did when they last saw their friend. The repetition of the word "echoes" throughout the song emphasizes the sense of emptiness and longing that the singer feels, as they plead for their friend to hear them and join them in their search for answers.
Overall, the song is a poignant meditation on the passage of time and the importance of connection and friendship in navigating the ups and downs of life.
