Echoes
The New Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm so tired of screaming
When no one is listening
Why do I keep pretending
The world is more than empty?
(The world is more than empty)

These empty streets are all I see
As I'm walking down this broken road
The path to nowhere leads me home
Burned down with an echo
Days come but they don't go
Why's the world I'm living in
So fucked up beyond recognition?

I can't spend another night
Living life like I'm falling on the knife
'Cause it pulls out the breath from my lungs till I'm dead
I can't get out the thoughts in my head

I'm so tired feeling
Like something is missing
The war inside is heavy
Nobody seems to get me
I'm tired of screaming
When no one is listening
Why do I keep pretending
The world I see is more than empty?

Cut out my tongue, my voice is gone
Yeah, there's nothing left for me to say
'Cause they don't hear me anyway
I fade out like an echo, I'm trying harder to let go
The world is cruel and unforgiving
Fucked up beyond recognition

I can't spend another night
Living life like I'm falling on the knife
'Cause it pulls out the breath from my lungs till I'm dead
I can't get out the thoughts in my head

I'm so tired of feeling
Like something is missing
The war inside is heavy
Nobody seems to get me
I'm tired of screaming
When no one is listening
Why do I keep pretending
The world I see is more than empty?

And I just wanna know that I am not alone
'Cause all I hear are echoes

No one can hear me, like I'm screaming alone
Till I'm dead in my heart and I bleed in my throat
Should I let go? 'Cause all I hear are echoes
Why can't they hear me? Am I screaming alone?
Till I'm dead in my heart and I bleed in my throat
Should I let go? 'Cause all I hear are echoes

I'm so tired of feeling
Like something is missing
The war inside is heavy
Nobody seems to get me
I'm tired of screaming
When no one is listening
Why do I keep pretending




The world I see is more than empty?
The world I see is more than empty

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The New's song "Echoes" convey a deep sense of frustration, loneliness, and disconnection from the world. The artist expresses feelings of exhaustion from screaming without being heard. It reflects the desperation to be acknowledged, understood, and validated by others. The repeated line, "I'm so tired of screaming when no one is listening," highlights the despair of feeling ignored and the futility of pretending that the world is more than empty.


The song describes a desolate and broken environment, symbolized by empty streets and a path to nowhere. This imagery serves to emphasize the artist's feelings of hopelessness and being lost in a world that seems devoid of meaning and purpose. The line "Burned down with an echo" suggests that the artist's attempts to be heard and make a difference have been met with disappointment and ultimately rendered insignificant.


The lyrics also delve into the struggles within the artist's mind. They convey a sense of being trapped in negative thoughts and not being able to escape them. The line "I can't get out the thoughts in my head" implies a constant battle with intrusive and overwhelming emotions. This battle contributes to the artist's overall exhaustion and the sense that something essential is missing in their life.


The desire for connection and understanding from others is a prominent theme throughout the song. The artist longs for someone to empathize with their experiences and the internal war they are facing. The repeated refrain of "Nobody seems to get me" highlights the isolation they feel, making it seem as though they are the only one going through this struggle.


The final lines of the song express a craving for validation and simply wanting to feel heard and understood. The repetition of "all I hear are echoes" suggests that the artist's cries for help and longing for connection are falling on deaf ears. The sentiment of feeling alone and unheard is expressed powerfully through the imagery of screaming alone until the artist is "dead in my heart" and "bleed in my throat."


Overall, "Echoes" is a poignant portrayal of the artist's frustration with the world, their struggle with internal battles, and their yearning for connection. It speaks to a universal human desire to be seen, heard, and understood, and highlights the pain and exhaustion that can accompany feeling disconnected and isolated.

@Chaps69xom changed it due to it being similar to another band iirc

@zephyrsunriseprods.covers7929

@Chaps69xom sorry a pre-existing punk rock band of the same name got mad at them and they got forced into the name change. It was a band that’s in the UK

@crisithink9509

Y'all need to re advertise this track 100%% this is one of few songs I can say I can keep on replay all day long and not get sick of it or lose motivation

@beriorroch2617
