Lets get it out get it out tonight,
just give it up give it up alright,

just give it up give it up alright
But how can you blame me?

some people run around in circles
that's what you just seem to do ooh

Overall Meaning

The song "Circles" by Bjørn Johan Muri is an introspective exploration of a potentially toxic relationship. The central theme is captured in the repeated line "Some people run around in circles, that's what you just seem to do". The singer is addressing their partner who seems stuck in a cycle of destructive behavior. The singer tries to convince their partner to let go of whatever that is keeping them trapped and move on.


The first verse sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer urges their partner to "get it out" and "give it up" to prevent things from deteriorating any further. The lines "But how can you blame me?/ No no no no no no no" suggest that the partner might be blaming the singer for their situation, which isn't entirely fair. The chorus repeats the idea that the partner is always going in circles and that nothing seems to be working. The second verse adds more details to the picture, with the singer pointing out that they are back at the beginning despite all the time and effort they have put into the relationship.


Overall, "Circles" is a poignant song that explores the complexities of love and relationships. It captures the feeling of being trapped and helpless in a situation that seems to be going nowhere. The repetition of the chorus drives home this sense of being stuck in a vicious cycle, unable to break free.
