Circle Game
Agnes Chan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
And tearful at the falling of a star
And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
Behind from where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game
Then the child moved ten times round the seasons
Skated over ten clear frozen streams
Words like when you're older must appease him
And promises of someday make his dreams
And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look
Behind from where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game
Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
Cartwheels turn to car wheels thru the town
And they tell him take your time it won't be long now
Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down
And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look
Behind from where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game
So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
There'll be new dreams maybe better dreams and plenty
Before the last revolving year is through
And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look
Behind from where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game
Agnes Chan's song Circle Game is a nostalgic reflection on the inevitability of time and how life is a constant cycle. The song recalls a child's sense of wonder when they first caught a dragonfly in a jar, and also their fear when the sky was full of thunder and the tears that they shed when a star fell. The child journeys through time, skating over frozen streams and experiencing the changing of the seasons, but is constantly reminded that they are trapped on the carousel of time.
The chorus repeats the theme of the song - that seasons come and go, life is a constant cycle and we are all trapped in the circle game. As the child grows into a young adult, they begin to understand that life is fleeting and that they must make the most of the time they have. The song ends on a note of hope, with the acknowledgement that while dreams may change and life may be circular, there is still the possibility of new and better things to come.

Yesterday a child came out to wonder
A child explored the world with curiosity and wonder yesterday
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
The child captured a dragonfly in a jar
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
The child was scared during a thunderstorm
And tearful at the falling of a star
The child was sad when a star fell from the sky
And the seasons they go round and round
Seasons come and go in a cyclical pattern
And the painted ponies go up and down
Ponies on a carousel move up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
Our lives are like a ride on a carousel we can't control
We can't return we can only look
We can't change the past, we can only reflect on it
Behind from where we came
Reflecting on where we started
And go round and round and round
Life continues in a cyclical pattern
Then the child moved ten times round the seasons
The child aged ten years, experiencing each season through that time
Skated over ten clear frozen streams
The child enjoyed ten winters skating on frozen streams
Words like when you're older must appease him
Words promising future maturity are meant to placate the child
And promises of someday make his dreams
Promises of a brighter future fuel the child's dreams
Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
The child is now 16, having experienced 16 springs and summers
Cartwheels turn to car wheels thru the town
Childish play turns to driving as the child grows up
And they tell him take your time it won't be long now
People tell the child to take it slow because growing up won't take much longer
Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down
Eventually, the child will try to slow down life's unstoppable cycle
So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty
Time goes by quickly and now the child is 20
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
The child's dreams have become more realistic as he grows older
There'll be new dreams maybe better dreams and plenty
New and perhaps better dreams will arise
Before the last revolving year is through
Before the year ends and the cycle begins anew

Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
And tearful at the falling of a star
And the seasons they go round and round And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look behind From where we came
And go round and round and round In the circle game
Then the child moved ten times round the seasons
Skated over ten clear frozen streams
Words like, when you're older, must appease him And promises of someday make his dreams
And the seasons they go round and round And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look behind From where we came
And go round and round and round In the circle game
Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
Cartwheels turn to car wheels through the town
And they tell him, Take your time, it won't be long now
Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down
And the seasons they go round and round And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time

So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
There'll be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty
Before the last revolving year is through
And the seasons they go round and round And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return, we can only look behind From where we came
And go round and round and round In the circle game
And go round and round and round In the circle game .
