Everyone's Got One is the debut album from English alternative rock band Echobelly. Gaining a favourable response from critics,[3] the album reached number 8 in the UK Albums Chart. On 21st July 2014, an expanded edition of the album will be released.

Singles

Insomniac", "I Can't Imagine the World Without Me" and "Close... But"" were all released as singles, and "Bellyache" was released as an EP.[4] This EP also contained "Give her a gun". Videos were made for all of the singles (besides "Bellyache").[5][6][7]

Song Meanings

Source:[8]

Today, Tomorrow, Sometime, Never

This song is about Sonya's feeling of alienation, because of the fact she is Indian. In an Interview, Sonya said "Even though I have a brown skin, I didn't feel Asian. I felt alien".

Father Ruler King Computer

This song is about her anger towards arranged marriages. ""I was brought up, I've been told, that a husband is the goal. What connotations in these loaded words, a spinster and a bachelor, I am whole all by myself, I don't need nobody else"

Give Her A Gun

Sonya feels that men have too much power and woman should have more power. The title is a metaphor for this, saying that woman should have guns. This suggests she even wants woman to be more powerful.

I Can't Imagine The World Without Me

This shows Sonya's self-confidence, hence the name.

Bellyache

This song is about the pain a friend of Sonya's went through when having an abortion.

Call Me Names

This song, similar to "Today, Tomorrow, Sometime Never", also expresses Sonya's feeling of alienation, but the lyrics are more obvious. "Outside, you will come out and play with me, I've been scrubbing at my skin you see but the colour remains on me . . . . I don't know, is it the same for everyone? Maybe that i've done something wrong. Why do you call me names?"
