Full circle
Aerosmith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah

If I could change the world
Like a fairy tale
I would drink the love
From your holy grail

I would start with love
Tell ol' beelzebub
To get outta town
'Cause you just lost your job

How did we get so affected
'Cause I think
Love is love reflected

Time
Don't let it slip away
Raise yo' drinkin' glass
Here's to yesterday
In time
We're all gonna trip away
Don't piss heaven off
We got hell to pay
Come full circle

And if
There's a spell on you that
I could take away
I would do the deed
Yeah, and by the way
Here's to heaven knows
As the circle goes
It ain't right
I'm uptight
Yeah, get on my toes

I used to think that every little thing I did was crazy
But now I think the karma cops are comin' after you

Time
Don't let it slip away
Raise yo' drinkin' glass
Here's to yesterday
In time
We're all gonna trip away
Don't piss heaven off
We got hell to pay
Come full circle

Every time you get yourself caught up
Inside of someone else's crazy dream
Own it, yeah, that's a mistake
Everybody's gotta lot o' nada killing
Them instead of killing me

Time
Don't let it slip away
Raise yo' drinkin' glass
Here's to yesterday
In time
We're all gonna trip away
Don't piss heaven off
We got hell to pay
Come full circle

The chorus discusses the importance of time and how quickly it passes. The singer suggests that time is a valuable commodity that should not be wasted. The lyrics suggest that we should cherish the memories of yesterday and raise a glass to our past experiences. The reference to heaven and hell implies that our actions have consequences and we should be mindful of how we live our lives.

Eu ouço e sinto uma vibe única com essa música!!! Como se o mundo todo cantasse o refrão juntos, como uma só nação! Muito louca essa sensação!

Antes de eu ser "crente" já acreditava q esta música falava do Evangelho, e hj eu creio nisto... Love is love reflected. O amor reflete a si mesmo.
Vamos buscar beber desta fonte, de Deus, the Holy Grail, o cálice sagrado.
Paz!
