Echoes
SNBRN & Kudu Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ferris wheels in my mind
Forgotten whispers you left behind
Following me through the night
I wait for the morning
The colors are red
I′m feeling I'm falling
Are you crawling under my skin?
Letting you in
I know it's getting kinda late
But I can't wait to hear you say my name again
I′ve been leaving paper trails
There in my way to lead you back to me again
I wait for the morning
The colors are red
I′m feeling I'm falling
I′ve got echoes in my head
Are you crawling under my skin?
Letting you in
I've got echoes in my head
I′ve got echoes in my head
I've got echoes in my head
There′s a silence all around
Swallowin' up every sound
In the distance I see a light
Wide awake, with open nights
I wait for the morning
The colors are red
I'm feeling I′m falling
I′ve got echoes in my head
Are you crawling under my skin?
I'm letting you in
I know it′s getting kinda late
But I can't wait to hear you say my name again
I′ve been leaving paper trails
There in my way to lead you back to me again
I wait for the morning
The colors are red
I'm feeling I′m falling
I've got echoes in my head
Are you crawling under my skin?
Letting you in
I've got echoes in my head
I′ve got echoes in my head
Room of mirrors, faded lights
Ferris wheels in my mind
Forgotten whispers left behind
Following me through the night
I wait for the morning
The colors are red
I′m feeling I'm falling
I′ve got echoes in my head
Are you crawling under my skin?
Letting you in
I know it's getting kinda late
But I can′t wait to hear you say my name again
I've been leaving paper trails there
In my way to lead you back to me again
I wait for the morning
The colors are red
I′m feeling I'm falling
I've got echoes in my head
Are you crawling under my skin?
Letting you in
I′ve got echoes in my head
In SNBRN & Kudu Blue's song "Echoes", the lyrics describe a person who is haunted by the memories of someone they have lost or left behind. The opening line, "room of mirrors, faded lights," sets a melancholic tone and suggests that the singer is trapped in a place that is both reflective and hazy, perhaps suggesting that they are caught between the past and present. The next line, "ferris wheels in my mind," reinforces this sense of disorientation, as a ferris wheel is both a symbol of fun and excitement, but also represents cyclical repetition, much like the singer's thoughts.
The chorus repeats the phrase "echoes in my head" several times, emphasizing the idea that the singer's memories are echoing and repeating in their mind, unable to be silenced. The lines "are you crawling under my skin? Letting you in" suggests that the singer is trying to resist the memories of this person, but is nevertheless feeling them creeping back in.
The second verse introduces the idea of leaving "paper trails" to lead someone back to the singer, suggesting that they are attempting to reconnect with this lost person. The final lines, "I wait for the morning, the colors are red," suggest both anticipation and a sense of urgency, waiting for something to happen in the morning or perhaps just for closure.
Overall, "Echoes" is a haunting meditation on the persistence of memories and the struggle to move forward in the face of loss.
