Echoes
Rapture (the) Lyrics

The people churning
The conversating
The price is what?
The conversating
This place is heaven
I put on lipstick
Life makes echoes
If you see them
Life makes echoes
Come together
Come together
Come together
Come together

The lyrics to Rapture's song "Echoes" describe the bustling city life with its constant chatter and activity. The repetition of the phrase "The price is what?" suggests a feeling of restlessness and perhaps questioning of the value of this way of life. The line "This place is heaven" may be seen as ironic or sardonic, as the chaos of city life is not typically associated with paradise.
The repeated refrain of "Life makes echoes" suggests that actions and choices have consequences and reverberate through time. The call for people to "Come together" is a plea for unity and connection amidst the disjointedness of modern life. The use of the word "Saint" in the final line is open to interpretation, but may suggest the possibility of redemption or transcendence.

I met a guy 7 years ago; we both loved music; he lend me some CDs and he was particularly fascinated by The Rapture's first album, and even more by this song. I loved it too, and I still do... just as much as the guy first showed it to me. Now we're getting married <3
