The song "Echo (Remix)" by Gorilla Zoe featuring Ne-Yo tells the story of a failed relationship and the aftermath of a breakup. The lyrics express the feelings of betrayal, hurt, and loneliness experienced by the protagonist after being mistreated by their partner. The song opens with Gorilla Zoe singing about how the person they were in a relationship with brought the breakup upon themselves. They express that the partner's actions and mistreatment led to the decision to leave. Now, the protagonist is completely alone and nobody is there to listen to their complaints or regrets. The repetition of the phrase "echo echo" emphasizes their solitude and the absence of anyone who cares. As the song progresses, Gorilla Zoe reflects on the relationship's downfall. They mention that it initially started off well, but nobody could predict that love would be lost and become irreparable. The blame is shifted onto the partner, and Gorilla Zoe decides that it's better to be on their own without someone to argue with. They show indifference towards the partner's new relationships and ask them not to contact or call anymore. Ne-Yo's verse adds another perspective to the story. He moves on from the breakup and admits that he doesn't feel as bad as he expected to. He asserts that he lost something valuable, but the partner also lost something unique by leaving. Ne-Yo implies that the partner may have been attracted to someone from the hip hop music industry but now wants to come back. He dismisses their late realization and emphasizes that it's too little, too late. Overall, "Echo (Remix)" explores the feelings of abandonment, self-empowerment, and the consequences of a failed relationship. The lyrics convey the pain of betrayal and the protagonist's decision to move on and embrace their solitude rather than dwell on the past.
