You are the lighthouse, the seamark
The tempests created this tide
I'm pulled to the black silver ocean
Where the current and the heavens collide
You are the brick
I am so unpredictable
Led by the current away
Your solid stage is so necessary to save
All those who stray
You are the navigator who never could lead
We were lost in the silver sea
I was the ship who was too proud to ever sink.
I am your thought but the water is amnesia
My name is on the tip of your tongue
My image is slipping
But your memory is gripping it
This is my breath in your lungs
You are the navigator who never could lead
We were lost in the silver sea
I was the ship who was too proud to ever sink.
Echo, my voice is an echo
Of places I don't know
And stories I've been told
Echo. We all are connected
A lighthouse a voyage
For history's sake,
Will you please take notice?
The tempests created this tide
I'm pulled to the black silver ocean
Where the current and the heavens collide
You are the brick
I am so unpredictable
Led by the current away
Your solid stage is so necessary to save
All those who stray
You are the navigator who never could lead
We were lost in the silver sea
I was the ship who was too proud to ever sink.
I am your thought but the water is amnesia
My name is on the tip of your tongue
My image is slipping
But your memory is gripping it
This is my breath in your lungs
You are the navigator who never could lead
We were lost in the silver sea
I was the ship who was too proud to ever sink.
Echo, my voice is an echo
Of places I don't know
And stories I've been told
Echo. We all are connected
A lighthouse a voyage
For history's sake,
Will you please take notice?

she's "forced" to let him go and becomes depressed
because shes too proud to forgive cheating [I'm pulled to the black silver ocean]
[I was the ship who was too proud to ever sink.]
even though he is the man he could never lead because he is always stationary like a lighthouse whos purpose is to help people who are lost or stray. [You are the navigator who never could lead][You are the lighthouse] [Your solid stage is so necessary to save All those who stray] he WON'T chase her or try to win her back that just the type of man he is, unchanging, like a lighthouse that is always there.
when something on the tip of your tongue its in your head but you can't REALLY remember it. he's forgetting her. [My name is on the tip of your tongue]
his voice is an echo because he cannot speak for himself. his words are just a repetition of what people tell him. [Echo, my voice is an echo
Of places I don't know]
I also think this is about relationship, she's telling how he is everything she ever wanted... but it reminds me somehow the feelings during/ after the fight... I had a fight with my boyfriend just yesterday and this is exactly how I feel.... I want to tell him so much that I'm sorry, but I'm sometimes to proud ... (We were lost in the silver sea
I was the ship who was too proud to ever sink) ....
The Hush Sound FOREVER <3
the event that shaped me into who i am, happened far away from me. i didnt know any of the people, i didnt know that places, i could only repeat the stories. so i became the echo of what had happened. it also says that we are all connected, and that we need to notice it. i think it relates to the echo, because the same event has caused similar echos in other peoples lives. in that way, we are all connected, and maybe if everyone realized that, they would think twice about their actions and history wouldn't be so cruel.
its probly not right, but it makes sense to me
The girl (I picture it as being Greta, but it could be anyone) is in a school Talent Show on stage with the spotlight on her. She's singing for the whole audience, but is looking at a guy (I picture being Bob) any time she looks up and it's like she's saying every word to him. They were in a relationship that fell apart and she still likes him a little. There are random clips of them fighting, and ones of each of them moping and contemplating their loneliness.
Then it gets to the "Echo" part and the spotlight changes so you can see the whole band. The girl is really concentrating on playing the song now so she doesn't look up at the guy for a while, but does when she says "For history's sake would you please take notice," and she sees he's gone. Then she hears his voice singing and realizes he's come on stage. By being there, it's like he's saying, "I know exactly what you're saying and feel the same way, i want you to notice, and I want to change."
We were lost in the silver sea
I was the ship who was too proud to ever sink
These lyrics are so stuck in my head. I love this song. The piano at the end is so strong and beautiful.
