Echoes In The Well Lyrics
The Water Drips From Wells Of Shame
Spilling Through These Words (Of Blame)
Listen To The Battle Cries Of A Race That Knows It's Dying
Read The Bleeding Words Of Those
Who Feel The Wheel Is At Their Heal
Then Somebody Tells Me That's The Way It Was Meant To Be
These Things Will Never Die
All They See Is Nothing
They Just Hear The Echoes In The Well
Stare Deep Into The Frigid Eyes Of A Man Who Knows He's Lying
These Are Those Men Who Make Mistakes
But Don't Erase The Pain
Then They Whisper To Me That's The Way It Was Meant To Be
These Things Will Never Be
All They See Is Nothing
They Just Hear The Echoes In The Well
There Are Those Who Find These Times A Crime And Those Whose Souls Will Never Mind
Or Those Who Need To Plant These Seeds
Living In Sin's Been Induced Again
By Beating The Paths Of Downtrodden Men
Or Those Who Think They Know Their Souls
Stab Deep In Their Hearts And Listen To The Echoes...
All They Hear Are The Echoes In The Well
Spilling Through These Words (Of Blame)
Listen To The Battle Cries Of A Race That Knows It's Dying
Who Feel The Wheel Is At Their Heal
Then Somebody Tells Me That's The Way It Was Meant To Be
These Things Will Never Die
They Just Hear The Echoes In The Well
These Are Those Men Who Make Mistakes
Then They Whisper To Me That's The Way It Was Meant To Be
These Things Will Never Be
They Just Hear The Echoes In The Well
Or Those Who Need To Plant These Seeds
By Beating The Paths Of Downtrodden Men
Or Those Who Think They Know Their Souls
Stab Deep In Their Hearts And Listen To The Echoes...

This song could be about the decreasing amount of oil at our disposal, the "wells" being the oil rigs which only fin emptiness, hence the echoes, ...although that is kind of a long shot, especially becuase this song was released in '91. It could just be about problems which exist through out the world which are more convenient to ignore and therefore the are by most. "Listen To The Battle Cries Of A Race That Knows It's Dying" , species are becoming extinct and so will humans if ghosts like global warming exist. whether these ideas reflect my opinions aside, thats what i believe this song is about.
COC are from my home state of NC. It's good to see them do well. Anyways, when I was younger there was a man (somewhat nearby) that murdered two little boys (kin even) and threw their bodies in a well in the NC mountains where it was practically impossible to find them. Even though everyone suspected it he wasn't prosecuted because over the mountainous expanse they were never found. Until many many years later in which their murderer had already passed away himself. This fact was not only known statewide but was a big case that eerily creeped everyone here...
