This is quite paranoid and it’s hard to guess what it means. But given the fact that the entire Asylum album is supposed to be kind of a concept album about insanity, the Echo Police can be a metaphor of a psychiatrist/psychoanalyst who tries to “infiltrate” into a patient’s mind, but fails – the Echo Police just don’t know how... But it can be something completely different. Anyway, it’s my favourite song on Asylum and the best way to open the album.
