Echoes
exploding heart Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I couldn′t feel a thing
When I was lost
I left you standing there
With a heart of gold
We use to dream
That all was full of love

We don't even talk anymore

So why do you
Try to make me feel
The way I use to do
Can′t you see
That I'm not yours to keep

We don't share everything
About the dreams
We use to have a son
And all was easier
We use to say
That all was full of love

We don′t even talk anymore
So why do you
Try to make me feel
The way I use to feel
Can′t you see
That all is full of...

Love
Love
Love

Love
Love

The final lines repeat the phrase "all was full of love" as a bittersweet reminder of what once was.

Overall, the song seems to be exploring the idea of how relationships can change and how difficult it can be to move on from someone you used to love. The lyrics are simple but effective, with a wistful tone that captures the unwillingness to let go of what once was.

Line by Line Meaning

I couldn't feel a thing
I was numb to everything

When I was lost
During a difficult time in my life

I left you standing there
I abandoned you

With a heart of gold
Despite my actions, you remained good-hearted

We used to dream
We had aspirations

That all was full of love
We believed the world was filled with love

We don't even talk anymore
We no longer have communication

So why do you try to make me feel
Why do you attempt to evoke emotions in me

The way I used to do
Similarly to how I previously made you feel

Can't you see
Don't you realize

That I'm not yours to keep
I am not something you can possess
