In Circles
Alex M.O.R.P.H. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What else can I do?
Under hand and over my head

It might be good for you
To me it's poison and I won't last long

You're not wrong
It last long then goes on and on
But we're not like that!

Dressed in tears, happy tears




We can smile awhile
Until we wake up!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "In Circles" by Alex M.O.R.P.H. feat. Paul Van Dyk provide a glimpse into a complicated and conflicting emotion. The opening lines "What else can I do? Under hand and over my head" suggest a sense of helplessness and confusion. The singer feels trapped in a situation they don't fully understand, caught between conflicting emotions and competing pressures.


The next lines add to the complexity, with the singer acknowledging that the situation might be good for someone else, but is poisonous for them. This is a common feeling when dealing with difficult relationships or personal circumstances - what works for one person may not work for another.


The chorus shifts to a more hopeful tone, with the assertion that the situation won't last forever, and that "we're not like that." This suggests a belief that the singer and their situation are unique and able to overcome the challenges they face. The final lines, "Dressed in tears, happy tears / We can smile awhile / Until we wake up!" hint at a bittersweet reality, where moments of joy and happiness are tempered by the knowledge that they won't last.

In Between is easily Paul's most COMPLETE album.You can find anything in there,the old Paul,and the new Paul,that's why it's called "In Between". I consider this the most complete EDM album ever released.Nothing can match it

I get lost in humming the bass line. When the piano drops images of every one, the universe, the sun, the earth, angles, rain, trees, wind, leaves, you, me, all are rapidly flashing before my eyes like a slot machine with lines of light leaving tracers behind
