The song "Revival" by Echos explores the challenges and struggles within a relationship. The lyrics convey a sense of emptiness and disconnection between the two individuals. The lines "I'm afraid that I've gone vacant" and "The way we speak is far from sacred" suggest a lack of emotional depth and intimacy. The protagonist acknowledges that their minds are no longer parallel, indicating a difference in thoughts and perspectives. However, they express a determination to salvage the relationship, promising to try and save it. The chorus highlights the conflicts within the relationship. When the other person pushes the protagonist, they start to despise themselves. The protagonist also takes responsibility for putting their partner through difficult times. The phrase "maybe we should find ourselves" suggests a need for both individuals to rediscover who they are individually. The repetition of "No revival" emphasizes the lack of a reawakening or rekindling in their connection. Despite this, the protagonist continues to try their best to make things work, even though they are uncertain if the other person can reciprocate the same depth of emotion. Overall, "Revival" captures the struggles of a deteriorating relationship, the desire to save it, and the uncertainty and fear of whether it can be restored.
