which echoes belong

to see how far
A G D
I've driven in the dark
A G D
with echoes in my heart
A Bm G Bm A
phone my family tell them I'm lost on the sidewalk

G A D
no, it's not o.k.

I smashed camera
I wanna know why
to my eye deciding
which lies have i've Been hiding
which echoes belong
I'm counting on
a heart I know by heart
to walk me through this war
memories distort
phone my family tell them I'm lost on the sidewalk

no, it's not o.k.

I'm counted out
and no one knows how far
I've driven in the dark
with echoes in my heart
phone my family tell them I'm lost (yeah, I'm lost)

no, it's not o.k.

No Picture Dakota Average	#1 by Dakota Keyes at Dec 10, 1980 at 12:47 PM EST
	This song was written before September 11, 2001 if that's what you're refering to

No Picture brent Rhythm Player	#2 by brent west at Jul 16, 1983 at 7:39 PM EST
	This song is about 9-11. It's about the way the media de-sensitized the tradgedy. Its also about the feelings that arises when seeing the wall of lost people posted in New York city. The line "for my family, tell them I'm lost on the sidewalk.....and no its not okay"

No Picture Sawyer Rhythm Player	#3 by Sawyer Hildebrandt at Apr 8, 1987 at 8:15 AM EST
	It's "tell em im lost" not "tying the knot"

No Picture Ulti` Average	#4 by Ulti` 89 at Nov 23, 1995 at 9:38 AM EST
	I looked over this song once or twice-- and repressed memories comes to mind. There isn't much evidence in the lyrics for something of that nature. It's just what came to mind.

No Picture dalton Average	#5 by dalton hoffman at Oct 4, 1996 at 8:44 AM EST

No Picture Harry Average	#6 by Harry Johnson at Jan 6, 1997 at 8:26 AM EST
	Well said thebot about facing up to your own faults and depending on those close to you to be honest with you, most likely immediate family in this case...

No Picture Jake Average	#7 by Jake Bounds at Aug 29, 1997 at 10:18 AM EST
	Thanks for the guitar tab But anyway this song is great I think it is about a guy trying to hide some of his past. He says he wants to break a camera to hide his lies

No Picture Chris Wanna Be	#8 by Chris H at Nov 18, 2002 at 5:20 AM EST
	I think this song is about how the writer is perceived by the outside world versus how he perceives himself. A camera can take pictures and provide you with a perspective of how you look at a certain point in time. It is truthful to an extent. The writer in this song has told many lies in his life, to others and more importantly to himself. He has developped a deluded sense of who he is and he needs to obtain an outside objective look at what he has become ("reminding which lies that I've been hiding [what is not true], which echoes belong [which is the true him]"). I believe he was provided this viewpoint by someone he knows and trusts ("I'm counting on a heart I know by heart to walk me through this") and is angered by what he hears or sees ("I smashed the camera") because it reflects just how different he is in reality versus how he perceives himself ("I'm lost on the sidewalk, and no its not okay").

	These lyrics are atrociously wrong. Here: I need a camera To my eye To my eye Reminding Which lies that I’ve Been hiding Which echoes belong I've counted out The days to see how far I've driven in the dark With echoes in my heart Phone my family Tell them I'm lost On the sidewalk And, no, it's not OK I smashed a camera I wanna know why To my eye Deciding Which lies that I’ve been hiding Which echoes belong I'm counting on A heart I know by heart To walk me through this war Where memories distort Phone my family Tell them I'm lost On the sidewalk And, no, it's not OK I've counted out And no one knows how far I've driven in the dark (tell them I'm lost) With echoes in my heart (tell them I'm lost) Phone my family Tell them I'm lost Yeah, I'm lost and, no, it's not OK
