Outtrigger Lyrics

The lyrics of Outtrigger's song 'Echo' describes an individual who is trying to hide the fear and pain that has been inflicted upon them. The opening lines, "Pulling out the creature out his cage, couldn't hide the fear upon your face" suggest that someone has been trapped and is being set free by the person speaking in the song. It appears that the person speaking has been keeping up appearances, covering up the war, so that they can survive. The lines "Every word you said a perfect lie, broken up inside you do or die, Cover up his war to stay ali.i.i.ve, Step right in to a sile.e.nce" perhaps indicate that this person is living a lie, and is fighting for their life, they're trying to keep up the facade of normality, but perhaps they're not able to.

The chorus of the song, "When the whip comes down like fire, fire, fire Hear the echo round the wo.o.o.o.o.rld Gotta fight back like a lion, lion, lion Hear the echo round the Wo.o.o.o...o.rld Gonna get what you dese...rve", suggests that the person is ready to fight back. The 'whip' referred to in the lyrics may indicate that the person is being abused or oppressed, and they are now ready to stand up to it. They're going to fight back like a lion, and they're going to get what they deserve. The final part of the lyrics "Every time the bottle was his friend, Livin was a battle without end, Did you cover up his war to stay ali…ve" perhaps indicate that there may have been an addiction involved, the 'bottle' becoming a constant companion, and they had to cover up the reality of the situation to survive.
