Love theme
Alexandre Desplat Lyrics

Round like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel
Life is like a circle that goes round and round without an end; it is as if one step forward is also one step back.

Never ending or beginning on an ever spinning reel
Life never really has a clear or definitive start or end, it just keeps going in a continuous loop.

Like a snowball down a mountain, or a carnival balloon
Life can take different and unexpected paths; sometimes, it starts small but gradually builds up momentum over time.

Like a carousel that's turning running rings around the moon
Life can be like a spinning carousel that eventually goes round and round without getting anywhere, leaving you feeling lost and disoriented.

Like a clock whose hands are sweeping past the minutes of its face
Time is constantly moving forward, and we can't resist its unstoppable force.

And the world is like an apple whirling silently in space
The world is a small and insignificant part of the vast universe, spinning and turning with no apparent reason.

Like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind!
Our thoughts can be like never-ending circles, going round and round without reaching a conclusion or resolution.

Like a tunnel that you follow to a tunnel of its own
Sometimes, life can feel like a maze of never-ending tunnels that lead to yet more tunnels, with no clear way out.

Down a hollow to a cavern where the sun has never shone
There can be dark and hidden parts of our inner selves that we never show to the world or acknowledge ourselves.

Like a door that keeps revolving in a half-forgotten dream
There can be missed opportunities and regrets that keep coming back to us in our dreams.

Or the ripples from a pebble someone tosses in a stream
Small and seemingly insignificant actions can have lasting and far-reaching consequences.

Keys that jingle in your pocket, words that jangle in your head
Memories and unfinished thoughts can linger in your mind, making you feel both nostalgic and uneasy.

Why did summer go so quickly, was it something that you said?
Time passes by so fast that we often feel we haven't made the most of it or that we've missed out on something important.

Lovers walking along a shore and leave their footprints in the sand
Love can make us feel alive and leave permanent imprints on our hearts and minds.

Is the sound of distant drumming just the fingers of your hand?
Sometimes, what we perceive as an external reality might only exist in our minds or imagination.

Pictures hanging in a hallway and the fragment of a song
Memories are fragile and often fragmented, like a picture or a song that evoke a certain place or moment in time.

Half-remembered names and faces, but to whom do they belong?
Memories can decay over time, leaving us with a sense of loss and confusion about who we used to be or who the people around us were.

When you knew that it was over you were suddenly aware
Sometimes, we only become aware of something's true value once we've lost it and it's too late to bring it back.

That the autumn leaves were turning to the color of her hair!
The passage of time can be bittersweet, as we realize that everything and everyone we love will eventually fade away into memories.

As the images unwind, like the circles that you find
Life can feel like a never-ending series of images and experiences that repeat over and over, leaving us feeling lost and bewildered.

In the windmills of your mind!
Our thoughts can sometimes be like windmills, endlessly spinning and churning without any clear purpose or direction.
