The Sound of Yourself
Embracing Echoes: Discovering the True Self Through the Sound
Lyrics
Will you ever get used
Questioning whether one can become accustomed to something
To the sound of yourself
Referring to being familiar with one's own voice
When it’s enough to make you fall in love
Suggesting that the self-awareness might lead to falling in love with something else
With the sound
Expressing affection for the sound of something other than oneself
Of anything else
Questioning if one can ever be content with sounds other than their own
When it’s coming over clear on the crystal
Describing clarity of sound, possibly referring to self-awareness
Or from the bottom of a distant well
Contrasting sources of sound, crystal clear or from a distant well
Oh do you ever get used to the sound
Pondering if one can adapt to the sound of oneself
The sound of yourself?
Reiterating the question about getting used to one's own sound
I pitch it down so I sound like a monster
Modifying voice to sound monstrous, possibly metaphorical
Imagine what you hear when I talk in my sleep
Imagining the impact of one's speech during sleep
Grey light and the air in the morning
Describing the atmosphere in the morning
Sleeping like the dead
Simile for deep sleep, suggesting no disturbance
Like you never heard a peep
Emphasizing the quietness during sleep
When it’s coming over clear on the crystal
Repeating the contrast of clear and distant sounds
Or from the bottom of a distant well
Reiterating the challenge of getting used to one's own sound
How do you ever get used to the sound
The sound of yourself?
Questioning if familiarity can be achieved with the sound of oneself
Now you can bury it deep in leaves
Suggesting ways to hide or store the sound of oneself
Or put it high up on a shelf
Offering alternatives for managing one's sound
But do you ever get used to the sound
Posing the question again about getting used to one's own sound
The sound of yourself?
Do you ever get used to the sound?
Questioning if one can ever get accustomed to their own sound
Do you ever get used to the sound?
Reiterating the previous question for emphasis
