Echo
Foxes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll stay waiting here to bring back all that's disappeared
We'll stay holding on to all the things that have went wrong
We place our faith in what we've built up in our heads
Burning up, falling apart with every page that you have read
We're all screaming out in the hopes that we will hear
The voice of someone else, bringing comfort to our ears
Don't you go, no, not yet
When there's so much that we have left
To build up, to repair, to break down everywhere
You said you won't forget
So don't give up on me just yet
We're all screaming out in the hopes that we will hear
The voice of someone else, bringing comfort to our ears
Don't you go, no, not yet
When there's so much that we have left
To build up, to repair, to break down everywhere
You said you won't forget




So don't give up on me just yet
Don't give up on me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Foxes's song "Echo" are powerful and emotive, focusing on themes of hope, perseverance, and the importance of human connection. The opening lines set the tone for the song, with the singer proclaiming that they will "stay waiting here" to bring back all that has disappeared. This suggests a sense of loss or absence, perhaps of a relationship or a feeling of belonging, and a determination to reclaim it.


The second verse focuses on the idea of holding onto things that have gone wrong, and placing faith in what we have built up in our heads. This may suggest a reluctance to let go of past mistakes or regrets, and a desire to find solace or comfort in our own thoughts and beliefs. The repeated refrain of "Don't you go, no, not yet" reinforces the idea of holding onto hope and not giving up, even when things are difficult.


Towards the end of the song, the lyrics take a more optimistic turn, with the singer proclaiming that there is "so much that we have left / to build up, to repair, to break down everywhere." This suggests a sense of possibility and a willingness to keep moving forward, even in the face of adversity. The final plea of "Don't give up on me" is a poignant reminder of the power of human connection, and the importance of standing together in times of difficulty.


Overall, "Echo" is a moving and uplifting song that speaks to the universal experience of facing challenges and striving to find hope and meaning in life.

I can hear your thoughts
Please don't leave me now
I can't sleep alone
Chasing the light until the dawn

Thought we left a trail
Back to the way that it was
I can see it now
In your eyes you let it fall

Running in a crypt
Of a thousand words
Hiding in the dark
When the violence starts
Looking for a sign
That we've gone too far
(Too far)

Don't hide in the dark
Playing shadow games
Turn out the lights
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Time for a change
Cause the devil is sleeps in your head

Don't hide in the dark
Playing shadow games
Turn out the lights
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Didn't you say we would stay
Til we heard the last
Echo, echo, echo

Look into my eyes
Do you see something to defend
Spinning in the lights
Will I grow old before I die?
Silence is a curse
I feel it breaking the ice
I can see it now
In your eyes you let it fall

Running in a crypt
Of a thousand words
Hiding in the dark
When the violence starts
Looking for a sign
That we've gone too far
(Too far)

Don't hide in the dark
Playing shadow games
Turn out the lights
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Time for a change
Cause the devil is sleeps in your head

Don't hide in the dark
Playing shadow games
Turn out the lights
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Didn't you say we would stay
Til we heard the last
Echo, echo, echo

You got the beat inside
Turn out the guiding lights
The dark is on your side
You got the beat in

You got the beat inside
Turn out the guiding lights
The dark is on your side
You got the beat in
