Jekyll Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Toffee-apple gunpowder scents the night,
A perfect world, untainted,
A snow globe, animated,
But the real world won't let me out of its sight.
Shimmering, sparkling echos on a tapestry of blue,
How am I supposed to know which one of them is you,
Searching for ghosts in the gossamer glow of the moon.
All that love in your heart,
It hurts, I know,
So much love in your heart,
I hope you felt mine too.
Everyone needs someone who'll sing them into sleep,
I'm surrounded by angels who want the best for me,
But I miss you so intensely, it's got me real deep,
So sing lavenders blue, I'll slide into my dreams.
All that love in your heart,
It hurts, I know,
So much love in your heart,
I hope you felt mine too.
I won't forget you and I won't forgive this world
The most gorgeous soul ever known, I won't let go
"Echoes" is a poignant song by Jekyll that explores themes of longing, love, and the struggle to break free from the constraints of the real world. The opening lines describe a festive atmosphere, with references to a bonfire and toffee-apple gunpowder scents, creating an idyllic setting. This is compared to a "perfect world" enclosed in a snow globe, suggesting a sense of innocence and purity. However, the singer feels trapped as the real world refuses to release its hold on them.
The song continues with the metaphor of shimmering, sparkling echoes on a tapestry of blue, symbolizing the memories and experiences shared with a loved one. The singer is unsure of their identity among these echoes, emphasizing the difficulty of discerning their presence and significance. The line "My eyes are your eyes and now they're lonely too" suggests a deep connection and shared experience, but also a feeling of isolation and longing.
The chorus delves into the pain and intensity of love, acknowledging the hurt that comes with it. The singer expresses a hope that their own love was felt by the recipient. The next verse shifts to a more comforting tone, mentioning the need for someone to sing them to sleep. The presence of angels symbolizes the care and support around them, but despite this, the absence of the loved one is deeply felt.
