Echoes
Lola Marsh Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Echoes and ghosts in my head, they are swimming in my bed
They're not giving me a chance, I'm here for no one
All the words that you said are alive and I keep them on a page
Am I ever gonna change? I should have gave them to someone

Where are you tonight? Restless like a wolf in the night
Lighthouse in the dark, where are you tonight?
And I know that they won't save me from the voices in my mind
And I know that I can turn away and hide
From afar, the bells are ringing on the first day of my life
And the sun begins to shine on the lonely one

I'm wearin' the coat that you gave me, and suddenly it's real
I don't know if I should feel that I'm here for someone
Oh, echoes and ghosts in my head, they are racing in my bed
And I'm about to take a chance 'cause I'm here for someone

Where are you tonight? Restless like a wolf in the night
Lighthouse in the dark, where are you tonight?

And I know that they won't save me from the voices in my mind
And I know that I can turn away and hide




From afar, the bells are ringing on the first day of my life
And the sun begins to shine on the lonely one

Overall Meaning

The song "Echoes" by Lola Marsh speaks about the internal struggle of someone who is haunted by their past, constantly hearing echoes and ghosts in their head. They are wearing a coat given by someone special and trying to navigate through their thoughts. The person is searching for someone who seems to have gone away and this leaves them feeling lonely. The repetition of the line "Where are you tonight?" creates a sense of longing and yearning for the person who has disappeared. The metaphor of the lighthouse in the dark represents the person's hope and desire for someone to guide them out of the darkness.


The lyrics also show the person's realization that they cannot escape their own thoughts and memories. The line, "I know that they won't save me from the voices in my mind," depicts their acceptance of the situation. However, the line, "And I'm about to take a chance 'cause I'm here for someone," represents a glimmer of hope that the person is willing to try to change things. The voices in their mind may be present, but they will not stop the person from taking a chance on love once again.


Overall, the song "Echoes" presents a relatable theme of dealing with the past, overcoming one's inner demons, and trying to find love again.


Line by Line Meaning

Echoes and ghosts in my head, they are swimming in my bed
My past mistakes and memories haunt me, keeping me up at night


They're not giving me a chance, I'm here for no one
These thoughts and emotions keep me from moving forward and being there for others


All the words that you said are alive and I keep them on a page
I hold onto the things you told me, keeping them close for comfort


Am I ever gonna change? I should have gave them to someone
I wonder if I can move past these feelings, and I regret not sharing them with others who could have helped


Where are you tonight? Restless like a wolf in the night
I miss you and wonder where you are, feeling lost and alone


Lighthouse in the dark, where are you tonight?
I need your guidance and reassurance to help me through this difficult time


And I know that they won't save me from the voices in my mind
I recognize that nothing external can stop the negative thoughts in my head


And I know that I can turn away and hide
I have the option to ignore my problems and avoid confronting them


From afar, the bells are ringing on the first day of my life
Life is constantly changing and there is always a chance for a new beginning


And the sun begins to shine on the lonely one
Even when I feel alone, there is still hope and light in my life


I'm wearin' the coat that you gave me, and suddenly it's real
I am reminded of you and the impact you had on my life through a simple item of clothing


I don't know if I should feel that I'm here for someone
I am unsure if I have the capacity to love and be there for others, given my own struggles


Oh, echoes and ghosts in my head, they are racing in my bed
My thoughts continue to consume me, this time with a sense of urgency


And I'm about to take a chance 'cause I'm here for someone
Despite my doubts, I am willing to take a risk and open myself up to love and connection

Echoes and ghosts in my head
They are swimming in my bed
They're not giving me a chance
I am here for no one

All the words that you said are alive
And I keep them on a page
Am I ever gonna change?
I should have gave them to someone

Where are you tonight?
Restless like a wolf in the night
Lighthouse in the dark
Where are you tonight?


And I know that they won't save me
From the voices in my mind
And I know that I can't run away and hide
From afar the bells are ringing
On the first day of my life
And the sun begins to shine on the lonely one

I'm wearing the coat that you gave me
And suddenly it's real
I don't know if I should feel
That I'm here for someone

Oh, echoes and ghosts in my head
They are racing in my bed
And I'm about to take a chance
'Cause I'm here for someone

Where are you tonight?
Restless like a wolf in the night
Lighthouse in the dark
Where are you tonight?

And I know that they won't save me
From the voices in my mind
And I know that I can't run away and hide
From afar the bells are ringing
On the first day of my life
And the sun begins to shine on the lonely one
