Stars In Stereo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want to see where the shadows lie
I'm going to fight until I get enough
I'm going to bleed just the way I like
I'm going to scream until you're listening
Want you to feel like I hurt inside
On your knees with a blindfold
Never knowing if I'll pull the trigger
Now I'm the keeper of all you have left
From the embers I remember
I will never close my eyes and fall
From the embers I ignite tonight
In the ashes of an echo
You're holding on like an infection
I got the cure and I'm getting closer
With every hit with every shot I take
I feel alive cause I'm taking over
When I was weaker I didn't know best
Now I'm the keeper of all you have left
From the embers I remember
I will never close my eyes and fall
From the embers I ignite tonight
In the ashes of an echo
When I was weaker I didn't know best
Now I'm the keeper of all you have left
From the embers I remember
I will never close my eyes and fall
From the embers I ignite tonight
In the ashes of an echo
The lyrics of Stars In Stereo's song Echo convey a sense of determination and resilience in the face of an unknown struggle. The artist expresses a willingness to enter into the darkest, most uncertain parts of life in order to discover the truth that lies beneath the seemingly impenetrable shadows. The imagery of bleeding and screaming suggest a willingness to endure physical and emotional pain, in order to communicate the intensity of their emotion and to be heard by those around them. The second verse hints at the possibility of violence or self-harm, as the artist describes holding someone at gunpoint, but the lyrics are ambiguous enough to leave room for interpretation.
The chorus, "From the embers I remember, I will never close my eyes and fall. From the embers I ignite tonight, In the ashes of an echo," suggests that the singer has emerged from a difficult or traumatic experience, and has learned to survive through the power of memory and inner strength. The repetition of the word "embers" evokes the image of a smoldering fire that has been burned down to its most essential parts. The line "In the ashes of an echo" suggests that the singer is drawing strength from a memory of something that has already passed, perhaps to give them the courage to face a new challenge or to overcome an old one.
Overall, the song is a powerful and emotional journey that combines elements of vulnerability, heartache, and strength. It speaks to the universal human experience of struggle and resilience, and reminds us that we are all capable of overcoming even the darkest moments in our lives.
