Echo
Jason Walker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hello, hello
Anybody out there? 'Cause I don't hear a sound
Alone, alone
I don't really know where the world is but I miss it now

I'm out on the edge and I'm screaming my name
Like a fool at the top of my lungs
Sometimes when I close my eyes I pretend I'm alright
But it's never enough

'Cause my echo, echo
Is the only voice coming back
Shadow, shadow
Is the only friend that I have

Listen, listen
I would take a whisper if that's all you had to give
But it isn't, is it?
You could come and save me and try to chase the crazy right out of my head

I'm out on the edge and I'm screaming my name
Like a fool at the top of my lungs
Sometimes when I close my eyes I pretend I'm alright
But it's never enough

'Cause my echo, echo
Is the only voice coming back
Shadow, shadow
Is the only friend that I have

I don't wanna be an island
I just wanna feel alive and
Get to see your face again

I don't wanna be an island
I just wanna feel alive and
Get to see your face again

But 'til then
Just my echo, my shadow
You're my only friend and I'm

I'm out on the edge and I'm screaming my name
Like a fool at the top of my lungs
Sometimes when I close my eyes I pretend I'm alright
But it's never enough

'Cause my echo, echo
Oh my shadow, shadow





Hello, hello
Anybody out there?

@GG-qe4dd

So you still come back to this song after all these years, probably because it makes you feel understood.
You still hope everything will be okay, even when you feel like you've been in the same bus since like forever.
You are surrounded by people and yet you still feel alone.
You give your all and they still leave.
You want to be happy but sadness is more of your game.
If you feel like that , just know that you are not alone,
I mean i seem to understand exactly how you are feeling, because i feel it too.
I would listen to you, because i understand how it feels not having someone to talk to you,
I would never leave you, because i know how it feels to be left behind,
I would be there for you,
Dont give up, you got this



@Toontownluver23

Why can't anyone hear me?
I'm not screaming loud enough...
I scream louder, yet not a word.
The only thing I hear is my echo.
My voice bouncing back to me,
The shadows that take over me.
I can't hear anything else but my echo.
Someone... save me please...
All I see are shadows
I can't see reality anymore
Help me i'm drowning in my own voice
My only friend, my voice.
Why can't anyone hear me?

Just thought I would share this. Inspired by this song of course :D
