Echo
Marc Salmon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's an echo in my room

Walls are empty and i'm leaving soon

I just boxed up all my stuff

Nothing left I can't believe I'm leaving soon
I don't wanna go..

But take it easy on yourselves

Don't make it harder to leave, it is already

Close the door and turn the key

It's the last time I walk down this street

Around the corner i'm driving by all the 3 years of our eventful lives

I don't wanna go..

But take it easy on yourselves

Don't make it harder to leave, it is already

The sun is on the horizon

Things are looking brighter





Just need to know where to go from here

Overall Meaning

In Marc Salmon's song Echo, the lyrics describe a person who is leaving their room and home, which they have packed up, as they prepare to move out. There is a sense of sadness and reluctance to leave, expressed through the repeated sentiment of "I don't wanna go..", however, the singer also advises the others in the household to "take it easy" and not make it harder for them to leave. They close the door behind them and turn the key, symbolically locking away the memories held within that space.


As the person drives away, they reflect on the three years spent in that home and how eventful they were, implying that the place held significant moments and experiences. However, the sun is rising on the horizon, which indicates that there is hope for a brighter future ahead. The closing lyrics suggest that the person needs to find direction and purpose for themselves moving forward.


The use of the "echo" represents the lingering presence of the memories, thoughts, and emotions that still reverberate throughout the empty room, and perhaps within the singer themselves. The song captures the bittersweet nature of leaving behind a place that has been called home while looking ahead with hope for the future.

Howdy, terrific video, most helpful. Was wondering if you have any experience with dealing with the downrigger canon ball returns while using traditional sonar. Ours sometime will read that line as the bottom. any suggestions on this? thanks much

Hi there, thanks for the great video. I have a Garmin 74SV. How do I reset the Garman without eliminating the engine data? I’m not really seeing fish on the screen but would like to reset it without having to re-calibrate the Nema set up for twins

Sportsman Boats

CJ, we do not have a lot of experience with this unit as we do not use it in our production. However, one way you could try to solve this issue is to check your transducer selection in your sonar menu and make sure that it matches the transducer you have installed. Resetting your Garmin unit will not solve the issue so you don't need to worry about that.

Thanks! The more info on adjusting sonar you can offer, the better!

Sportsman Boats

Thanks Chris we would love to provide more information. If you have any specific questions feel free to let us know.

Brian Fuller

Thanks for some good info. I have a gpsmap 8416xsv and would like to know how to focus in on the bottom 30m of 100m of depth. Thanks

Sportsman Boats

Brian, the best way to do this is by using the split screen function. When looking at your depth range you just need to zoom to zero and this should allow you to focus in on the bottom. Let us know if this works.

I'm still confused about how "scroll speed" works, if I always use ultraspeed when the ship is going slow and fast is it better to know real time in under water. why are there so many categories like slow, medium, fast etc. if ultraspeed is better at reading quickly real time fish in the water.. thank
