My castle crumbled overnight

I brought a knife to a gunfight

They took the crown, but it's alright

This goes along perfectly with the fact that Echo got cast out from her own clan. [they took the crown but it’s alright] Her clan was all she had, all she ever knew, so figuratively, and quite literally, her “castle” crumbled overnight.

All the liars are calling me one

Instead of lies, I thought this went hand in hand with the whole “for my people” mindset that everyone seems to have on this show and the amount of hypocrisy that I see throughout the fandom when talking about characters. This could also be about Octavia. Interpret however you’d like.

Nobody's heard from me for months

I'm doing better than I ever was,

In space Echo learned how to love and what it means to be loved back. She found a family. In my head, it’s really the first time that she actually lets her guard down and really gets to be herself. She’s doing better than she ever was.

'cause

My baby's fit like a daydream

Walking with his head down

I'm the one he's walking to

So call it what you want, yeah, call it what you want to

This part is pretty self explanatory. For the “call it what you want” line specifically what came to my mind is how some bellarke shippers people in this fandom who may not partically like Bellamy and Echo together, try to degrade their love as if it isn’t real. It is real. Call it what you want, but they do love each other.

My baby's fly like a jet stream

High above the whole scene

Loves me like I'm brand new

So call it what you want, yeah, call it what you want to

Besides them literally being “above the whole scene” because they’re in space, the line “loves me like I’m brand new” really stuck out to me in terms of the becho of it all. Bellamy forgave Echo. As if they only just met, as if they were “brand new” they learned everything about each other. Found solace in each other.

All my flowers grew back as thorns

Windows boarded up after the storm

He built a fire just to keep me warm

This alludes to Bellamy and Echo both coming back down to the ground. Bellamy building a fire for her being a metaphor for sticking up for her against Octavia.

All the drama queens taking swings

All the jokers dressin' up as kings

They fade to nothing when I look at him

I think we all know who the “drama queen” Octavia is. Taking swings and dressing up as kings Blodreina.

And I know I make the same mistakes every time

Bridges burn, I never learn, at least I did one thing right

I did one thing right

I think this line is perfect when describing Echo/Becho’s relationship. It really does explain itself so not much commentary on this part.

I'm laughing with my lover, making forts under covers

Trust him like a brother, yeah, you know I did one thing right

Starry eyes sparkin' up my darkest night

Okay full on head canon but this is totally soft becho on the ring.

My baby's fit like a daydream

Walking with his head down

I'm the one he's walking to

So call it what you want, yeah, call it what you want to

My baby's fly like a jet stream

High above the whole scene

Loves me like I'm brand new

(Call it what you want, call it what you want, call it)

So call it what you want, yeah, call it what you want to

I want to wear his initial

On a chain round my neck, chain round my neck

Not because he owns me

But 'cause he really knows me

Which is more than they can say,

I just love this part. Especially the “not because he owns me but ‘cause he really knows me”. Echo was a part of Azgeda. But it was harsh. Their ways are harsh and cold and they didn’t really know her. They didn’t love her. She was used as a war tactic. They casted her out. Bellamy knows her, loves her, and if someone casted her out you can bet he’s going with her. [“if Echo leaves I am going with her.]

I recall late November, holdin' my breath

Slowly I said, "You don't need to save me

But would you run away with me?"

Yes (would you run away?)

Again this is already pretty self explanatory but the “you don’t need to save me” part reminded me of their scene in 4x13.

My baby's fit like a daydream

So call it what you want, yeah, call it what you want to

Call it what you want, yeah

Call it what you want
