Cover art for Echo Beach lyrics by Martha and the Muffins

We see this longing to be back at Echo Beach, and how the location is 'far away in time', which helps the person, stuck in a mundane job, to escape the tedious, circular structure of 9-5 life.

Being 'back' at echo beach shows how she has been there before, and experienced a form of emotional connection with such place - such a place-person bond can be special, hence, a song highlighting this, and the need for people to get away to their special place - together, or alone.
