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.
